So, no worries. :-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is indeed very distracting for a man when he is in a state of sexual arousal. It is hard to concentrate on anything or think straight in that state. But it is not painful like the pain you might feel when you are physically hurt. I suspect this is the case for women also, no?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For most men, the arousal wanes if the mind is distracted and made to think of something else. That is the trick. But that trick can be very tough. This is indeed an important part of being celibate - to consciously make the mind think of something else.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hope that answered your question. Thanks for stopping by.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LL</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10348439/1030284754087002354/comments/default/1076584303657664785'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10348439/1030284754087002354/comments/default/1076584303657664785'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.libranlover.net/2009/03/celibacy-report-day-12.html?showComment=1239705000000#c1076584303657664785' title=''/><author><name>Libran Lover</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08385670064264356313</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://blog.libranlover.net/2009/03/celibacy-report-day-12.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348439.post-1030284754087002354' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10348439/posts/default/1030284754087002354' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-903230305'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348439.post-4094471275697807626</id><published>2009-04-13T08:09:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-13T08:09:00.000-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Hello Libran Lover,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I've read a bunch of yo...</title><content type='html'>Hello Libran Lover,&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I've read a bunch of your blogs on here and all so far were very interesting and insightful.  I am proud of you for trying what few men would attempt with your celibacy experiment.  I met a few men that has done a similiar experiment have found it to be helpful in clearing thoughts and bringing them closer to a spiritual calmness.  I think it is good for everyone to go through something which tests their everyday fortitude and strength, in whatever way.  It will make you stronger in the end.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I have a somewhat delicate question that I want to ask out of strict female curiousity. I hope it doesn't offend you. I am a little bit ignorant of male sexuality and I was wondering that if during your experiment (or in every day life, I suppose) you end up having an 'accidental' arousal problem and you, as a male, don't do anything to 'fix' the situation, what happens?  Does it go away on its own or is it just painful for you for a long time? Do you have to talk your self out it by thinking of un-sexual thoughts, like in the movies? If this question is too rude to ask, I apologize and feel free to ignore it. :)&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Also, I think you are definitely right about it being much easier for females to go without sex or sexual thoughts for a long time with an issue.  Except for a few very sexual girls that I know, I don't think many have such a struggle keeping things non-sexual.  I, myself, have gone years without sex or even wanting it but then have had periods of time where I think about it constantly and am more like a dog in heat, like a man.  Females, I think, go through periods or flucuations depending on how we feel about ourself, our bodies, and how healthy and active we are.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Sherri</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10348439/1030284754087002354/comments/default/4094471275697807626'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10348439/1030284754087002354/comments/default/4094471275697807626'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.libranlover.net/2009/03/celibacy-report-day-12.html?showComment=1239635340000#c4094471275697807626' title=''/><author><name>Anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img1.blogblog.com/img/blank.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://blog.libranlover.net/2009/03/celibacy-report-day-12.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348439.post-1030284754087002354' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10348439/posts/default/1030284754087002354' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-1754947483'/></entry></feed>
