Celibacy Is Fun!

It's pretty funny how I can write an entire post about the importance of mayo on sandwiches and I'll mention the word celibate in there and you're all, "Celibacy? Huh?"

Bearing that in mind, my little evil creatures, I think it's time I dedicate an entire post to this phenomenon. How it started, and how it will end (there's only one way, really).

First, I'd like to point out that "Sex & Celibacy" is now following me on Twitter and initially I thought it was one of you guys trying to pull my leg.
But then I went into their Twitter page and realized that this is actually a site dedicated to Sex and Celibacy even if both things are mutually exclusive.
That same day, I tweeted about how "Sex & Celibacy" was following me and one of my blog buddies Jazz sent me an email explaining how in an effort to find my blog she misspelled my URL address and instead typed redmeansgo.blogpot.com. Well, guess where that leads you?
It's apparent they've confused me for someone else.

At any rate, this little walk on the angelic side for me is still going full force, even if I've had my inner struggles. I can only presume that the experience of being celibate varies from person to person, yet I think the whole process can be divided into five stages. Here are mine:

Stage 1: Initiation
This is where it all begins. The idea just dawns on you and you're all "Ah-ha! This is the most ingenious idea I've had in years!"
Stage 2: Delusional Smugness
Your brain tricks you into thinking you've got things on lock. No one can come close to you and your newly achieved holy status. You don't need sex! Sex is for the weak of mind.
Stage 3: Creeping Little Doubts
Confusion sets in and uncertainty begins to permeate throughout your entire being, eating away at your ever growing sense of desire. Also, really pornographic dreams and cold showers become part of your daily routine and innocuous things you'd never pay attention to before catch your eye and resemble x-rated images.
You resent happy couples and all the crazy sex you can only suppose they're having.
Stage 4: Outrage
Being in bed with your dogs gets a little old and sometimes you just miss the warmth of a breathing human body next to you. During these nights, this is what it feels like:
Stage 5: Determined Resignation
The realization you've come too far to drop the ball at the end is palpable. You'll only end up disappointing yourself if you do (I just sounded like a parent there, didn't I?).
You're climbing walls with anxiety, but you've gotta pull through.
September 24th happens to be the day where my vow is fulfilled and although I have no intentions of going to the Blue Zombie and finding a candidate to help me celebrate in bed, it will be nice to know that I actually followed through on something and my reward will be a new sense of discipline (oh yeah, and sex too).

And absolutely I'll post about it because let's face it guys, you can't have a blog called Red Means Go with no adult content. I'm sorry but that's just not how things work. There will be sex, and lots of it (*crossing fingers*).

Hopefully, when and if it happens, it will be like this:
Instead of like this:
Update: We all know how prone I am to self-amusement by funny captchas. Well, fellow bloddy (blogger buddy) Sabrina sent me an email yesterday saying she was commenting on a blog post titled "The Ultimate Hoochie" and her captcha was this:
This is where I say how awesome this is but there's really no need. Have a vagical weekend and may the force be with you.

LOL!!!!!! You really need to take this show on the road...I love it.

c.honna said...

Dont you worry my friend- you can do it
Believe me when I tell you
NO SEX IS BETTER THAN BAD SEX
- Hell I dont even remember the last time I had any- Hahaha sad not funny sad -=0(
Anywho, I hope though that when your quest is done both You and I will be having mind blowing sex
(Not with each other of course, lol)

PS- Love the little Devil & Angels, Cute -=0)

Ms. C. said...

VALID QUESTION THAT I WOULD NOT ASK SOMEONE UNLESS THEY BROUGHT UP THE TOPIC AND SO I WILL BECAUSE NOBODY ELSE WILL: What about self-love? Is that off limits too? Because if it is you are probably going to spontaneously combust the next time a dude double-clicks the mouse, yo. I'm just sayin'.

I don't think I could do this...Mostly because of the whole engaged thing and I don't think Mr. Fabulous would go for this notion at all (unless BJ's were allowed, in which case why on Earth would I do that if I wasn't able to get anything in return? I wouldn't. So, yeah, my point is that this totally isn't feasible in my world). However, I totally think I could handle being celibate if I were single...My will power is mighty.

Christy said...

LMAO!! You are almost there my friend!!! You are doing GREAT!!! Cold showers and pornographic dreams never hurt anyone.

Annah said...

Christy: In my dreams Ricky Martin is straight and he's TOTALLY into me.

Honna: I agree 100%. We'll see.

Kandia: Do you mean like a clown show? Or a reality show? I'm cool with both. :)

MS. C. Funny you ask because you're the second follower that mentions that. AND the truth is I hadn't even thought of it until he did. But once the idea was planted on my brain, things changed. That's all I'll say. You asked!

Prettybrowngirl said...

OMG, This is hilarious! Reminds me of myself 6 months ago. Self love is always an excellent alternative though. LOL

Jeannie said...

You know, I've contemplated this whole celibacy thing but every time I talk to you and I see your count down I get REALLY discouraged.... lmao!!! I'm not sure I can handle that torture... I think the longest I've ever been "celibate" was for like 3 months when I was like 18... ha ha ha ha!! horrible I know.

DanWins said...

I don't know.........

Kind of feel sorry for the guy.....

Leave a little life left in him, OK?

Oh, and when you do this don't try and catch up all in ONE NIGHT.

Hopefully you find someone with a little "time" under their belt so to speak..... You don't want it over in 5 mins either....

AND Have Paramedics standing by just in case.

Love Ya Girlo

Tyrie said...

I'm waiting to see how many comments/emails you get from guys saying,

"Annah, you just haven't met the right lover ... call me"

I give you big props for this little experiment. I mean, why perpetuate bad sex? Life is full of disappointments, no need adding to that list by careening into the bad sex rut.

Ethan said...

Devil on your shoulder comment:

Sex is more therapeutic than celibacy. Spiderman needs love too.

Jazz Stanton said...

I would just like to note that... when I typed in redmeansgo.blogPOT.com...I was completely exhausted, but it is a good thing I was because that shit was hil-freakin-larious. I was like this is SO not When Red Means Go...Bible Study, huh?...LMAO! Annah must know about this.

I still think they may be getting some of ur traffic. They should pay you!

Awww, I have a blog buddy...LOL! Maybe I'll have some famosity too since you mentioned me in a post...Later Gator!

Ms. C. said...

HOW HAD YOU NOT THOUGHT OF IT BEFORE THAT LAST PERSON ASKED?!? I mean, shit, I partake of self-love and I'm in a committed relationship that involves physical intimacy! Let me just say, once the idea popped into my head it never left, even with permanent sexual partners in place and a healthy sex life! Sometimes a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do, Homeslice!

Kendahl, Stepmom Extraordinaire said...

Have I mentioned I freaking love you? Because I do. You are hysterical.

Yaimy said...

Girl mind blowing sex is always a plus, but your are almost reachinig your date. Hold just a little more and believe me 2 more months is not a lot (TRUST ME)... :/

elly said...

probably the funniest post i've read. Hats off to you on this one. BTW what's with the drawing of stage #1.. your friend has her hand on her cooter the whole time you are telling her this... how inappropriate LOL

Annah said...

Ethan: You made me laugh with that. Yes, Spiderman needs lovin' too, I'm sure.

Kendahl: I loves you too woman!

Ms. C.: Girl I seriously have NO clue how it didn't pop into my head because I place sex on a pedestal. It's important to me. Trust. Maybe I guess I was just trying to abstain from even thinking about it? Gah, I don't know.

LEB said...

I was celibate by choice for a year mainly for the same reason. When I finally gave up my forbidden fruit, it wasn't as phenomenal as I had hoped. But because I went without it for so long, I let the fact that I was finally getting laid again keep me in a lackluster relationship. I hope things work out better for you. Keep up the good work! Celibacy had a very empowering effect on me, despite the wild hormones.

Jossie Posie said...

I've had to deal with forced celibacy (sort of) twice 1) boyfriend didn't believe in sex before marriage, but he did plenty of other stuff to keep me happy (when I typed that I purred, thats how happy I was) 2) my ex lived in NY. So 3-4 month long bouts of no sex followed by 3-5 days of nothing but sex.

It wasn't always easy but I got used to it. I think it will help make my new single status much easier to live with and when you reach your Sept.24 date you will see that even if the guys sucks monkey balls it will be fan-fucking-tastic because you are so hard up. Thats me shining a light at the end of your sad dark little celibacy tunnel.

Don said...

You may not need to find a job if you start a raffle with the winner being the lucky stud who gets to help you end this celibacy experiment.

Troy Foster said...

I've heard that female celibacy is just how women get all charged up for a cougar rampage later in life. We all know that's what you are up to...Ha.

Jennifer Juniper said...

Wow.. I hadn't heard about this ummm.. mission.. of yours.
I think its incredibly cool. I'm not sure I could do it after the 5 years of unchosen celibacy aka my first marriage, but I think its great.

Annah said...

Don: As usual, you always keep my finances in mind. Thank you darling!

Troy: I'm 27! I'm a puma... not a cougar. YET.

Jossie: I don't know how, but I WILL know if it's going to be good or bad. I'm not expecting anything though. All jokes aside I'm just doing this for myself. I think I've unleashed a lot more creativity and productivity now that I'm not dealing with sex and all the drama it brings. One night stands don't bring drama, but I'm not down with those, for reasons previously discussed.

LEB: Here's to hoping :) Two months and two days. Ha! I'll celebrate with champagne COCKtails.

PrincessBeks said...

i've done this before in fact i'm kinda doing it now but i'm calling it a break from sex!! but who knows how long its going to last!
really liking your drawings especially 'no sex is awesome me' drawing lol
lovin your stuff chick

Don said...

“I'll celebrate with champagne COCKtails.”

And perhaps a few KUMquats? :-)

Odie Langley said...

I waited like I said and it was worth it girl. A very good one and I aplaude you.

amyblam.com said...

I had a bet going with my friends where I was going to win a brand new Ann Taylor outfit of my choice, complete with shoes and accessories if I went six months without sex. I lost by three days by sleeping with my now hubs. I probably came out ahead as I make him buy stuff all the time.
In addition to celibacy until 25, they should wait till 30 to get married.

tanja said...

yay you've almost done it!
and i agree with the "no sex is better than bad sex"... you don't have to worry about if your fake sounds of enjoyment are convincing enough.

self-love IS an option... but it gets old after a while and it totally doesn't compare to having someone else doing the work for you!

Sono Eliane Anderson-Kei said...

I've been celibate pretty much forever, but I make very little sense and just am not really interested in sex?

BUT MAKING THAT KIND OF COMMITMENT AND FOLLOWING THROUGH IS SUPER AWESOME. So good for you! Brownies and high fives all around!

marta said...

Good shit! I'm totally laughing and crying because I'm in the same boat as you. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but it does get old. I'm almost done!!! Haha! Keep up the good work!

Ms. C. said...

"I think I've unleashed a lot more creativity and productivity now that I'm not dealing with sex and all the drama it brings."----I believe professional athletes abstain before big games for the same reasons. Perhaps not getting bones was one of the main culprits behind getting B.O.N.E.D?!? Bwahahahahahaha....Dude, if that was the only way to get B.O.N.E.D that would really suck (figuratively, of course).

Queen of the Rant said...

Yet another great post- pics and all, do you draw these in paint shop? so great

Angie said...

I love how your cartoon skirts never quite fit right. Seriously, I larf every time.

Amanda said...

Why is the girl in yellow in the first cartoon touching herself??? Is she pleasuring herself in front of you?

I'm on a year of no sex/no masturbation. Can't miss something you never enjoyed in the first place. You can do it.

Hed said...

I read an article once that said "Self-love doesn't put the fire out; it fans the flames!" and it's SO true...whenever I want to take care of "business" when my husband is out, the first thing that pops in my mind after is, "damn, I wish my husband was here. Or Trent Reznor". Beware Annah!

DanWins said...

I know this is my second comment today.

However get a chance to read mine today.

Phase two May help but be forwarned it could cause you permanent damage. LOL

Phase two should help you get to 24 Sept.

TheUnwashedMass said...

"Annah, you just haven't met the right lover." Call someone else, though, cos I'm pretty sure I'm not him either.

Annah said...

Alright guys! Enough with saying that the first friend is touching her lady parts! I was cracking up at the post office when I read that comment Amanda. Oh my God. I thought it was supposed to be her laying her hand on her lap. I guess my mind is elsewhere.

You guys are wayyyyyyy funnier than me. LIKE ten thousand fold. LOVE IT. It's like you entertain me back through these comments :)

Don said...

Choosing to be celibate for a good reason is one thing; involuntary celibacy for over a quarter of a century is quite another thing, especially for someone who in his earlier days was a sexual creature that really enjoyed sex. I still miss it even at my age. The remembrances of how great it was are impossible to eradicate from my memory bank even when I can’t remember many things that I need to recall.

^^^Did I post that comment yet or not???

Alexa O said...

Freaking hilarious! I totally love the pics--esp the one where you and Spidey are climbing the wall and you have no pants on!

Can't WAIT until you blog about the outcome of this experiment...

Here's hoping you have a medusa experience!

Lost said...

Yeah, you have heard it 39 times already, but this is freakin' hilarious. I love your blog... Mad props

Dominik said...

hahaha.... great!
you're too hilarious :D

I wonder if you really have a problem with not getting laid or if you're just pretending. Because if you're having a problem, what should I said?
hahahaaaaa

The Ranter's Box said...

Annah, you are going to have offers out the ying yang come September 24th -- if not sooner! Hang in there girl!... I loved the sleep with angels drawing and the penis in the water puddle photo. Funny stuff! Reading your posts always makes my day : ))))))

Megan said...

Love this post.
I read it this morning, laughed out loud and all day I've been seeing erotic-like things!
I just ate a deformed Hot Tamale that looked exactly like a you-know-what. It was good.
You keep me entertained even when I'm not reading. :P

mice_aliling said...

Annah, I'm on my 4th month...LOL But I am being harsher to myself than you are. Celibate at 31. And a half. Things change (for me, that is). If you had angels, I went straight to God and made a pact with Him (No sex until I feel that he is THE ONE). Now I'm scared of breaking it. He'll forgive me yeah, but I can't have my part of the bargain. SH*t happens.

Mynx said...

Oh to be young and choose not to have sex. Lol I have been spending the last year or so working hard to keep the fires burning hot. Guess that's wht happens when you have been married nearly 20yrs and hve a couple of kids. So Annah, might be best if you dont click the link on my blog that takes you to my naughty stories or it might just make the frustration worse. Keep doing those pics, I love them and I think I am addicted to your blog totally.

Fifi said...

hahaha this is by far the funniest post, I can totally relate of the being jealous of couples bit and thinking ufff they are just going off to have AMAZING sex and here i am ALONE. that drawing made me laugh :D
but seriously good luck with the mission! and you can totally do it, just think of the mind blowingg sex reward you will get! or dont think toooo much about it, yet ;)!
lol wonder what the adverts to reflect your blog would be here? rampant rabbits?! hahaha :D

Creativity never ends. said...

I love your posts! This one was funny! But I hope yu can make it to Sept 24th :)

& The website mixup was hilarious!!!

This Brightened my day!!!!!

Corianda said...

I snuck a peek at this while my year 8s were doing silent reading. Big Mistake. Why is that little yellow smiley face so sure of your failure? Nasty smiley face.

JoJo said...

LMAO!!!! OMG I loved this post!

Good luck with your celibacy girl. I don't know how you do it!

Lauren said...

Ok so this is the first time that I've read your blog and it sounds like it's one of your best, according to these comments! Girl, as someone who is celibate right now, let's just say that I made a quick little trip to the naughty shop down my street and that no lie, celibacy CAN be fun if you have the right tools :)

Jeff said...

Good luck. September isn't that far away. Just watch out for herpes -- she's a sneaky one.

And have a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser on-hand if you end up having sex that actually makes your head explode, because that shit'll clean up anything.

Don said...

Xylina Myia said...

Haha I was dying through the whole thing. This is awesome. Good luck with your goal!! You can do it your a strong chick and its only about two months away!

Annah said...

Lauren: Thanks for the tip, I'm scared of those places though.

Xylina: I'm doing this thing! I'm 2/3 of the way done. Not too bad. My friends are already planning an end of celibacy party.

Jeff: OMG Herpes! :/ Thanks for the reminder. You're so nutty my friend.

JoJo: Thanks girl. We shall see.

Fifi: I'm feeling your pain girl. But with that said, I think we or at least I, tend to exaggerate things in my head. Like, if someone is in a couple, in my head they're having Medusa explosive sex all the time, and we all know, that's not the case.

Corianda: The little smiley face is supposed to represent the evil side of my brain and I can assure you, that side is very very mean to me.

pattypunker said...

player hater! - that was epic.

Charles said...

stop having pornographic dreams of me. It's really not polite.

Also: i really hope your next time is tremendous. There is a book out there called "She Comes First" which, in a very scientific way, teaches a man how to make girls' heads explode. It has diagrams and can almost be kinda dry because it's so analytical and straightforward. Point is, next time you do it it should be with a guy who has read it. Make it like a college class, and it's just requisite reading for a night in the Annah-Cabana. That book helped me blow up some heads.

HAHAHAHAHAHA I love this post!

JoyousOne said...

Annah,
You can make it your blog is very funny and entertaining. I will miss you at work.....Don't change....

Britt said...

When my marriage ended, I decided to become celibate and soul search, I was successful for a good 1 1/2 years. Career, Kids, and everything under control, I was a full out Ms. Independent..

But then out of nowhere I was offered a bite of the apple and I took it..
Actually its been a couple of apples since then, each one better than the last...but for the past two months I have joined you unwantingly in this absurd celibacy bull crap, and frankly don't know how I did it for so long before..

Oh Gah Annah, do you think it's possible to reach stage 5 in two months? What should I do? Blue Zombies aren't looking too bad at this point...lmao

alana said...

I knew it was bound to happen, I'm fully aware of my addictive personality and it's potential to embrace and consume.....your blog is great and totally entertaining.
Waiting your next installment....

Dominik said...

hahaha great Post!
I love your homemade pictures :D
How do you do them?

Annah said...

Charles: THANK YOU! Now I'm totally going to have to buy that book and make it a must read for every Annah bedroom contender. ha! The reviews were actually spectacular so it must mean SOMETHING.

Alice: *muah* Thanks.

Leah: I'm going to miss you guys too. VERY MUCH.

Britt: Blue Zombies are better than no zombies... errrr, something like that.

Alana: I'm bringing the pain don't worry! But I have no internet at home until Monday night! :( Damn weather ruined my connection and now Comcast has to come and rescue me.

Dominik: MS Paint. It's silly but it's so much fun! Try it out.

The artwork on your posts always makes it impossible for me to stay celibate.

Peachy Keen said...

i LOL to all of your posts but this took the cake!!! i've actually been celibate all this year (initially by choice... to "clear my head"... then to prove something to myself... and now, i'm tempted to just give it up to the next person who offers). you are by far my favorite blogger! famousity is yours in no time :)

LissMami said...

Vagic. OMG. It's genius. I'm so using this one, both literally and figuratively. Thanks, girl!! You'll be fine for another couple of months, I believe in you! Self-love sooo doesn't count so that should help...lol! Make sure your first is totally worth the vagic though! Muah!

Mallory.Danger said...

HAHAHAHAHA!! Far out you make me laugh x

Random Girl... said...

LMAOOOOO!! I went through all of those stages in my YEAR of celibacy. It was...er... um... awesome! lol. Nah, but it really does get easier. This post was hilarious! Especially the Vagic captcha!

✮ Jenny ✮ said...

My first time on here. Love it! Um, I did it for 2 years. Everything was fine until I got a massage from a male masseuse and he squirted warm oil on my back (I hope it was oil). I almost lost my damn mind.

Annah said...

LMAO Jenny!!!!!!!! That was so hilarious. Gurl! I hope it was oil too, for your sake. And I know exactly how you feel about almost losing your damn mind.

Anonymous said...

Hey my sister turned me onto your blog and I cant help but read it. its awesome. I read this and think its awesome that you're going the celibate road. I myself am celibate but mine are what people would call "religious convictions" people honestly dont realize its pretty difficult especially with people pressuring you all the time so if someone keeps making fun of you for it just tell them to shut the f up and keep going strong.

atif said...

I wanted to thank for this great read!I really enjoyed reading.massage wakefield

Armand Cordero said...

AHAHA! I hope those sex and celibacy people read this and realise sex is awesomeeee !

Ruby Wildflower said...

Oh you didn't have sex for six months? Boo fucking hoo. I haven't had boom boom since the dark ages. In fact, I've completely forgotten what it is.
Here's my post on it: http://wp.me/p1sOZO-eR
