But there are benefits to sexual abstinence. These apply equally to heterosexual, gays and lesbian.Sexual abstinence is a choice to refrain from sexual activity. This choice is usually made for a specific reason. The reason may be moral, religious, legal, or for health and safety.It may only be short-term celibacy. It’s fine to go through periods of your life in which you choose to abstain – the decision to have sex is yours to make, each and every time.Abstaining does not mean you are frigid or destined for life as a monk or a nun – it may just be a temporary decision.

The New York Post suggests that it might be, even for those of us who are not members of the clergy. We’re skeptical, honestly, but Mandy Stadtmiller profiles some New York women who’ve given it up in favor of focusing on career, self, and as profilee and Internet celebrity Julia Allison explains, to cure one’s “man whiplash.” Even Courtney Love is doing it–by not doing it.

In the entry, DePaulo, a Harvard-educated social psychologist who authored Singled Out: How Singles Are Stereotyped, Stigmatized, and Ignored, and Still Live Happily Ever After, speaks with her friend E. Kay Trimberger (author of The New Single Woman) about the implications of being single in different cultures, focusing primarily on women in India since Trimberger has spent considerable time researching there. Early in the discussion, Trimberger describes three major “cultural factors” that she says make it “easier to be single in India”.
