Could taking a vow of celibacy be useful in a man's "self-renewal"?

I was reading about the man who arguably could tap something on demand, and it got me interested:

As for myself, I've never taken this vow - but for decent stretches of time, this vow had gotten imposed on me involuntarily .

When our focuses lay in certain areas anything can be done. Self improvement in the deep facets and caverns of oneself is more rewarding than simply busting a nut.

I once went on a no speaking challenge for one month - It was fascinating what pieces of perspective I was able to extract from that experience. Taught me how to be a fantastic listener and I have since carried that over in to my waking reality.
So locking down ones own d!ck for the greater good of oneself would be a cake walk, I think.

When we’re able to channel our energy in to something with a great motivation.. anything, and I mean anything, is possible.
If you truly wanted to, and your ‘why’ was strong enough. You could easily go get 100 numbers from women in the next two hours.

Vows are dumb.

Locking down your **** won't improve your D1ck game. And that's part of how you feel as a man .

Locking your dyck down for a restructuring may make sense. If historically it's set you back or put you in bad positions. Locking it up while you rework your priorities will let you focus on what needs to be done . I was just saying a multiple year "celebacy" will kill your dyck game and kill some of your enthusiasm for life .

It's never necessary but I think it can be powerful. If you have control over yourself and can say no to sex, it removes sex as a bargaining chip with women. You'll make better decisions, you won't be manipulated and you'll have zero neediness. For me, taking an intentional break to monk mode my mental health, career and game, ramped up my success to the next level. I did this after I had the basics down. That said, it's really subjective and depends on where you're at and whether or not you think it could have value to you personally. For some guys, there might not be a point. But it did teach me I do not need sex to be happy and I have taken that with me ever since.

I took a vow of celibacy during my marriage. It was a hard 1.5 years to accept. I've learned never to marry again. lol.

Cute. Divorce is never fun. I still do not joke about it. Thus, I recommend to all who will listen not to get married. The woman one marries is not necessarily the same woman you divorce. It's a fvcked up and outdated system that needs to be forgotten. It was originally setup for keeping property and assets within a family as well as procreating. Now, it's just a prison sentence with a signed certificate from the State.

This day and age it indeed is part of a Babylonian system. I'm a very optimistic person by nature too .

Yep. It's also a great way to transfer assets from the one who earned them to the one who didn't (male or female).

Nah. Doesn't really work. Because, if you're a decently attractive but lacking in game guy, they pull you back in somehow, and the cycle repeats. Story of my young adult life.

Basically, girl does your head in, you want time to yourself, next girl starts taking notice, you get enticed, girl does your head in ---> you want time to yourself, next girl starts to take notice, ad infinitum.

Compound that with serial monogamy mindset, and it really was just a completely awful way to go about this business. I don't recommend it.

How did you break out of the mindset?
