It’s 2024, and it’s not a stretch to say that the dating pool is questionable. It seems like no one is having fun. In the era of sex-positivity and the ability to freely date and hook up with whoever we choose, a wave of zillenials is rewriting the rules of intimacy.
Countless young individuals have chosen to turn away from sex, either largely or altogether. Movements such as 4B, boy sober and are gaining traction among singles amid the dating rust-out. Recently, American musician Lenny Kravitz, a well-known sex symbol, pricked our ears when he was quoted in reports saying that he has been celibate for some time.
And he is not the only celebrity who has opened up about abstaining from sex. So, is sex-free living going to be a thing? Of course, people can do whatever they like, and the decision not to have sex can be a little surprising. Without a doubt, is having a moment.
Celibacy is a voluntary vow to abstain from sex. However, not everyone defines it the same way. Some may abstain from all kinds of sexual contact, including kissing and holding hands.
Others only refrain from sexual intercourse. You might associate celibacy with religion, but faith is not the only reason why people decide not to have sex. For the latest trend, it is more of a lifestyle choice.
The ‘boy sober’ movement, a term popularised by American comedian Hope Woodard, has earned traction. Being boy sober is an intentional dating cleanse. It’s abstaining from all aspects of dating.
To be boy so.
