is hunger an object of attraction?

how do you not yield to sexual urges?

if you say there are examples that abound of people who engage in sexual without sexual urge, are there no examples of people who did not engage in sex because they didnt have any sexual urge?

if you are making an assumption, my question is based on the assumption you made.


how do you assume a man finds a woman attractive?
1. Hunger is not an object of attraction. I used it as an example of something that someone could feel but chose to fast instead of eating.

2. Of course there are people that don't engage in sexual act because they don't feel the urge. But the term for that is not celibate that does not mean that they too can't say that they are celibate. They sure can classify themselves under that category but my point was that the definition for it doesn't capture that.

3. You don't know who is attracted to whom you can be told by them or you can deduce that from their behaviors or motives which may be wrong or right.

So in your own opinion if you want to define celibate as you understood it to be for Catholic priesthood how are you going to define it? And which assumptions are you going to make?

if hunger is not an object of attraction, then how does your analogy fit into the discussion?

how do you not yield to sexual urges?

if there are people who dont have the urge for sex and live accordingly, how is that not celibacy?

like I said, you are the one who made the assumption. not me

if you are making an assumption, my question is based on the assumption you made.

I would assume just like a straight man knows that he finds women attractive

I used hunger as example hoping that since you find it very difficult understanding the example I used for the celibacy that at least most people understand the concept of hunger and fasting. Which you could adapt to the concept of sexual desires and abstinence ( in this case celibacy). The relationship between both examples is ”denial ie denying yourself of something that you may want or need"

I already explained to you how to yield to sexual urges- by doing it. Is your confusion from the fact I used the word "yield"?

This is a very simple concept. Straight men are known to mostly go with straight women unless we are talking of bi here. So in defining celibacy I decided to use an example of a straight man that finds a straight woman attractive. How else do you make an example.

NB: I have been answering your questions but you have not managed to answer not even one of my own. So I am going to repeat it here again:

If the analogy that bothers on denial ie using hunger isn't sufficient, can you give example of analogy that fits well?

You asked what was the relationship between celibacy and the fasting, and I said "denial" are you unable to understand the relationship?


If you understand that my example is "about yielding to sexual desires" how is it difficult for you to understand the contrast?

Doesn't using an example to explain a concept brings more clarity to the subject matter?

So while in school/writing when you explain a concept you don't give an example to indicate to your examiner/reader that you understand the concept?

where did I ask you "what was the relationship between celibacy and the fasting"?

Step 6: if the discussion is about sexual attraction (meaning there is an object of attraction), how then is hunger a good analogy since you have agreed that hunger is not an attraction?

Step 7: The question I asked is “how do you not yield to sexual urges?” but you are talking about “how to yield to sexual urges”.

Step8: if there are people who dont have the urge for sex and live accordingly, how is that not celibacy?

Step 9: like I said, you are the one who made the assumption. not me
if you are making an assumption, my question is based on the assumption you made.


how do you assume a man finds a woman attractive?

Not sure if I asked for an example.

Step10: What assumption are you expecting me to make?

Step11: What is the disagreement about the definition of celibacy that you want me to clarify?
