It always amazes me how easy it is to revert back to old behavior, especially when you allow yourself to be around those same temptations. I have a friend that was celibate for six years, he said that he wasn’t going to have sex again until he was married and he followed through on his promise. Now for me the task of going six years without sex is comparable to man landing on the moon. I could not imagine going that long without having sex; it just blows my mind how he possessed that much discipline to accomplish what he set out to do. When I spoke to him about this goal I would always ask how was he able to stay on the right track and not give in. My friend is not an ugly dude and he has had a crazy episode or two with a few ladies so it’s not like he was a person that wasn’t having sex. The advice my friend gave me about how he stayed true to his word was priceless, he said "I never let opportunity and temptation be in the same room together". So simple but yet so hard to do.
Sex is definitely a vice of mine and its one that is most difficult for me to control. It’s pretty sad but I really don’t have a grasp on my sexual appetite and because it has caused so much stress in my life, I should have more control over it by now. I can honestly say that I have never gained anything from sex... Maybe I should try the celibate thing for a while... I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for that though.
Curbing that sexual appetite is a goal my boys and I often talk about. We recognize how much time, energy, and money we all put into chasing women. We all have vowed at one point or another to cut women off completely and focus our energy on all the other things life has to offer. Let’s just say we have not been successful, lol not at all... Gray has recently set a goal for the New Year to cut off women entirely in 2012, lol now I know the world is coming to an end.
