Reader Feedback on "The Art of Celibacy"
You are the bomb, sweety. I totally agree with you on everything you say. Now I don't have to think for my self. What will I do with all that energy? Have coffee with a girl I hang out with. She's a total bitch but at least I know what to expect, and I don't have to be nice.

I'm wondering what I can say to you without adding offense. Have you ever tried to practice celibacy or self control? Even for the most minescule(sp?:) reason of doing something just for the sake of doing it. Like living....for noone but for the sake of living? I agree that monogamy is a difficult thing, but can also be such a rewarding and exciting venture. I don't know of many easy, comfortable things in life that are fully rewarding down to the soul. Except for maybe icecream. Peace.

Thought you would like this article Johnny. The man seems pretty cool about who he is. Especially the part about "not lifting a finger unless he's going to get something out of it" . :):) Enjoy. Love, ma

I always did have FAR more fun with myself than with anyone I ever indulged in...at the very least I always know WHO my last affair was with.

Thoughtful and provoking for those of us who ought to know better, Quentin lends an air of clarity to a presumptously well known subject

I loved Quentin Crisp's article on celibacy...humor and wit for me beats physical desire, hands down.

At the risk of sounding flip, what is it, precisely, for which Quentin Crisp is known, other than being a gay Englishman? His recent "essay" on chastity was utterly worthless. I know it must be hard to find content, but please spare us all the prattling of people who are well known for being well known.
