I didn't drink until I was 17; I also abstained from alcohol from around 99-06. I don't want to even THINK about abstaining from you-know-what.

The first 21 years of my life.


After that, about a year and a half long dry spell.

18 years by choice. I sleep easy, not having to worry about a pregnant girlfriend, diseases, ect. Call me old fashioned but I plan on waiting till I marry. I am human so of course I want to, but I resist.

It's been 6 years. I've been with the same girl for 4 years and i wholeheartedly respect her decision to wait till marriage. The 2 years prior to that i was touring heavily and i had no girlfriend. I have a stern stance against the whole 'band slut' mentality.

Honestly it IS a bummer... but i know the good outweighs the bad, it allows a strong relationship based on things besides sex. FWIW, her nor I are religious at all, we always get asked that and it tends to shock people when they find out we're celibate w/o some sort of doctrine as an excuse. I think the idea of kids terrifies us... at least for now while we're so busy with school.

Married girls can get pregnant and have diseases too, just so you know

Two years. Never again. I'll rent a hooker next dry spell if need be.

Not that I have always thought this way, but I find purposeful abstinence a bit silly. Sex is quite similar to breathing and eating really. Perfectly natural. You can enjoy the pleasures of life without falling into a big greasy pit of hedonism. Life is already short and dumb enough as it is, why put more obstacles in place?
