Celibacy has been on the rise lately and former TV Personality Janet Mbugua has revealed she is already on her journey of sexual abstinence all while remaining sober.
The mother of two opened up on her YouTube channel dubbed Official Janet Mbugua.
“Saying I am single, sober, and celibate is not a flex. There is so much I had to pause and hear myself and make big life decisions. I am not giving myself a limit. I can unstop the things I have paused for now. I have been single, sober, and celibate for over a year. I do not know when I will go back to doing those things. I am taking time to sit on this time.”
She added Sometimes we make some decisions in life to self-preserve not because they are fun.
“It has given me so much peace and perspective but it’s also been hard. We live in a highly sexualized society. When you are celibate people assume there is something wrong with you.”
She has also clarified she is not dating a younger lover.
“You can meet a 45-year-old boy and a 23-year-old man—because maturity isn’t tied to your birth year. The same goes for women. Age might bring wrinkles, but it doesn’t always bring wisdom. Moral of the story: Don’t let the number fool you. 🎂”
‘People thought it had something to do with me having a younger lover. You can be different things and they may not make sense.
According to technical definitions, “the term celibate has historically had a religious connotation.” But now that it’s being used to characterize what is a brief period of abstinence, the term has gained popularity.
Additionally, you may have seen numerous headlines about TikTok’s #boysober trend, which is essentially a rebranding of an old idea: taking a break from messy hookup culture and draining dating apps as a way to take care of oneself.
More people are discussing living without sex, but will eliminate banging improve your happiness and general well-being? As long as you’re making the most of this time, there are many advantages to attempting a brief period of abstinence to reevaluate your values regarding relationships and sexuality. You can put your own needs first without the distraction of dating.
Of course, how much sex you do (or don’t) want is completely up to you.
