More on Celibacy
Then i stumbled onto a free belly dance class. I didn’t even think about it as an outlet for that energy… Slowly, i am realizing that it is! The movements are very sensual – i guess there is a reason why men find it so sexy… And i am really enjoying learning to move parts of my body i usually don’t move – like my hips or even my shoulders. It turns out to be much harder than it looked at first. I even started doing some drills (we’ll see how long that’ll last ;-)). It’s all about isolating certain parts of our bodies while holding others still.
Whether this is making celibacy any easier or not, i don’t know, partly because it wasn’t difficult for me to begin with. I know my energy comes in cycles, and the sexual variety isn’t any different. I am having fun, though, exploring a new way of moving my body. And i get to listen to some of the music that i’ve been enjoying already. Just the dance moves have changed.
I’ve found that it gets easier as you get older and some of that energy fades a bit.
