I guess celibacy is not just for singles anymore, and there is likely a myriad of reasons for the choice; sickness, boredom, inability to perform or maybe your dog just don't hunt anymore... so you choose being celibate.
To say "Why buy the cow..." is to me manipulative. That is not what this is about, to be celibate is not about withholding sex as a way to get what you want, not in this day and age, certainly not for seniors who are doing fine on their own.
What celibacy is about is intimacy, trust and waiting.
Oh, and Jim, hate to break it to you, but your picnic basket (although attractive) DOES NOT CONTAIN GOOD CHINA. Those plates look like something from a buffet. Picnics are not always what they seem.

I AM sorry and it was my attempt at humor. the cow thing. As a kid we had an Aunt Lil and that was her favorite saying to all of us nieces. I really meant to inject humor. and you are also right. I am married. I shouldn't be posting on this thread.
I just admire the heck out of Chachacha. She is beautiful and so interesting and smart and fun and principled. I am a tiny bit in awe of her. But every community needs a Yetta. Isn't that the name of the matchmaker from Fiddler on the Roof?
