Is abstinence really possible for someone that is 20+ of age ?

[Fidelia]

Different religions, morals and ethics preach abstinence to be the route to take to achieve sexual purity.

Realistically, can a person who is 20 plus in age practice abstinence and succeed?

 

[Shavkat]

I do agree that some religions encourage the young ones do this. It could be successful if they are really religious souls.

 

[King Belieal]

I would say that any person that is above 20 would really struggle and lose if they want to practice abstinence.

 

[Ratine]

For me l believe that anyone can abstain so long as they have decided to.

I am against sexual relation in the young age. You should abstain. If the relationship ended with pregnancy, your life will be hell (when you are young)

 

[eldavis]

Yes it is very possible to abstain even at that age and I am a living testimony to that. It's all a matter of self discipline.

Now tell us, how do you manage to abstain. I know the physiological makeup of a human and that system makes it hard for someone to abstain.

I think that is possible if the person is a very devoted religious person and has self-discipline. There are so many other activities s(he) can engage in.

This is very possible it is just self discipline. They are people that are still virgins in their thirties.

Why not? It is even very important for someone within that age range to practice abstinence in case they get married and their spouse isn’t around for a while

Yes I agree with you there's nothing wrong with that. Just try to abstain as long as you are not married

At the same time, it is not very easy to abstain especially when you have done it before but it takes a lot of dedication

Anyone that has popped the cherry always faces a tough battle trying to abstain. I have tried to fight that battle and I lost promptly in the 6th month.

I understand how you feel but this is still about self control. I’ve done this for a year before until I felt like I wanted to do it again

 

[King Belieal]

I really can't abstain from two weeks. I am an adult. By right, I am supposed to have a wife but because of finances, I don't. But don't expect me to stay for too long without action.

Ooh wow
I never knew you were married. Well, it doesn’t really make sense to be married and trying to abstain
You have the full right to do such

The user you quoted didn't say he was married. He only said he is supposed to marry at his age but he isn't.

For abstinence, all the posters on this thread are being hypocritical when they know it is not really easy to abstain.
