Format:Paperback
This book opened up a whole new world for me in a way that none other has. I've always thought of celibacy as a drag and one practicing it was dull, bored and generally hated men. From what I read, I believe every woman must at least have a look at it whether or not in a relationship. See how liberating a period of celibacy can be and be sensual, sexy and purposeful at the same time. It's not just a no sex book but a "get-your-life" together manual and there's no male bashing or religious dogma involved anyway. The writer lets us know that celibacy isn't owned by any religion so you don't need to believe in anything per se to see it's benefits although you may have a new experience or understanding afterward. The language is simple and down to earth so there's no "high-browness" about it. Buy this book now!!

Tells truths that need telling
15 Feb 2000
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book seemed like a godsend when I found it just after my most recent breakup -- Williams exactly described the feelings I was having. Working through the book has been a roller coaster ride for me, making me face painful truths about myself and my relationship history but bringing me welcome clarity on some points. I especially appreciate the truth that Williams tells about what it does to a woman's soul to have sex with a man who's not committed to her. I was fuzzy on this concept and lied to myself to keep ahold of exciting sex but never again will I have sex without insisting on a safe context.

True Intimacy
18 Feb 2000
Format:Paperback
I just finished re-reading the book for the umpteenth time and have recommended it to a Celibacy discussion board I belong to. Celibacy as the author discusses does not mean "dead" to life and all it's riches. Ms Williams actually shows that celibacy can bring a person to a greater level of love and understanding and self respect. And I think she is a hero for having the guts to discuss in an open and honest fashion how sex in today's society often leaves a void and a hunger for true intimacy that can only be found when we know love and respect ourselves. This is not an anti sex book. It isn't a book that points fingers. But if you feel like an odd ball because you have chosen to be celibate for any reason you will find a friend in the author. I am going to give copies of the book to women friends, who are celibate due to a spouse being disabled or because they simple want to know themselves better before succumbing to the next guy that comes along. And each time I re-read the book I get more from it. Many of those I know who are celibate have come to realize that they want more from sex. Some have bigger life goals and have no desire to get involved with someone and thus become intimate. Some believe they simply need to concentrate on their college work or profession and that later on when they are emotionally and otherwise ready to get involved that they will. I admit most of these friends are female but I do know some males as well who are celibate and all are very attractive men and successful so it isn't as if they are losers who couldn't get a date anyway.

Informative,Helpful, and Enlightening
2 Dec 1999
Format:Paperback
I bought this book a few months ago, and I have found it to be a very good read. Since then, I have recommended it to friends of mine. It is very in-depth as to embracing a celibate lifestyle,your feelings towards it, how to have relationships and still be celibate and more. I really enjoyed it....
