What does celibacy mean for individuals and for the people around them? What function does it serve? This is the first cross-cultural inquiry into the practice of celibacy around the world and through the ages, among groups as diverse as Kenyan villagers and U.S. prisoners, Mazatec Shamans and Buddhist nuns and monks, Shaker church members and anorexic women. The examples of celibacy described here illustrate the complex relationship between human sexuality and its particular sociocultural context. Ideas about the body, gender, family, work, religion, health, and other dimensions of life come sharply into focus as the contributors examine the many practices and institutions surrounding sexual abstinence. They show that, though celibacy is certainly sometimes a punishment or a deliberate ritual abstinence, it also serves many other social and material functions and in some cases contributes to kin-group survival and well-being. Celibacy, Culture, and Society represents a significant step toward understanding the functions and meanings of sexuality.

Why was sex so important in early religions? Why have there been so many sexual scandals with priests? How and why did the practice of celibacy begin? Is being celibate psychologically helpful to monks, nuns, and others who must practice it? This book examines the role of sex in religion from the earliest known time of pre-Christian cults up into the modern day. It is the only book we know of that approaches the problem of sex and celibacy in religion in such a complete and thorough way. It describes an age-old struggle being waged by religious representatives between their own natural state of human sexuality and its complete suppression in the name of God.

What is the reason for our existence? If you ask an average man, the response will be that, he is here to earn money, have a partner, enjoy intimacy, have children and so on. Is there anything wrong with this? Absolutely Not. I wouldn't be writing this nor would you be reading this, but for that. It is good to have a family, healthy relationship and all the fun associated with that. After All, the entire global economy is a product of intimacy in one form or another. Is there any chance for the celibate then? What are his views? Is he forcing himself to be a celibate or is he a natural. In the world's view, the celibate is a repressed lot. They have suppressed their rightful means of expression to extremes. So then, why should we be discussing this? Let us look at what happens when you are a celibate, naturally. The juice of every man has great energy. There are millions of sperms teaming in our vitals every day. The collective consciousness of the sperms, are amazing. The celibate transforms these to enhance his stillness and presence. Thеrе іѕ nо соrrесt amount оf ѕеx tо hаvе, аnd thе bеѕt frequency vаrіеѕ frоm реrѕоn tо реrѕоn.

The insistence on clerical celibacy was established in much of the Western Church beginning in the Fourth Century. It expanded slowly and unevenly throughout Late Antiquity and the early middle ages and at the Second Lateran Council in 1139 became Church Law. This Law of Celibacy decreed that Holy Orders were a absolute impediment to any in the higher clerical orders attempting to contract marriage. Any such marriage was automatically null and void in the eyes of the Church.

Sex is not a simple concept. Focusing on the issue of celibacy, the author explores the cultures of three post-Civil War utopian communities and their relation to female status in American society. From her examination of the Shakers, Koreshans, and Sanctificationists, the author concludes that the adoption of celibacy promoted theoretical sexual equality and female social power in those religious groups. -- Bookjacket.
