I Wanda....

As I sit here sweltering because they’ve cranked the heat to accommodate a hundred and fifty frigid women, becoming ever more cranky and irritable as the clock crawls on towards the end of business, sorely missing the intellectual stimulation provided by f00dave’s debate, I ponder the verities of relationships. And I arrive at a question (aimed mainly at f00, as it is a logical extension of our previous debate): What would it take for you to become completely celibate? What would it take for you to never touch your alluring spouse again? Money? Power? Surgery? DEATH?

Intellectual stimulation? Me? HA! You obviously have the wrong f00Dave. ;-)

Park me behind a nice, cold beer (Double Diamond, of course, or *maybe* a Guiness), and then you'll see some intellectual stimulation! This LiveJournal stuff is fun to noodle about with, but totally, hopelessly inadequate for serious conversation. Anyway, I'm posting this comment because it somehow slipped through the cracks in my list-of-posts-to-reply-to-in-the-"Reply-Hub"-post. So here you go:

That depends entirely on how you choose to define "celibate".

Bet you were expecting a longer answer, wot? Too bad, I'm off to bed. =D Give me a precise definition of celibate (or even several variants), and I'll attempt to arrive at an answer to your query for each one. G'night!

Celibacy and the Nature of f00

You underestimate the daily tedium I face. And while I agree that alcohol facilitates the flow (if no the coherence) of intellectual debates, I has been quite some time since I’ve had the opportunity to get out the bottle of Gilbey’s. So, in the meantime, you’re the fount of intellectualism. Congratulations!

Oh, and you asked for a definition. Here goes:

Celibate – (adjective) abstaining from sexual intercourse.

For purposes of this discussion, I would extend that to include any contact of a sexual nature with any other person or creature (sorry, no sheep either ;)). I will allow self-gratification, because I’m not inhuman. The time frame would be a minimum of one year.

Is that specific enough?
