Guys, the topic is about sex and spirituality. Enough with the fights—they're pointless, leading you nowhere. Last week I told a guy from work that I'm still a virgin at 32. He believed me. And he told a woman co-worker that I never touched a girl in my entire life. She didn't believe him, and she told him that "I'm only saying this to mask that I was sleeping with many women." It's fascinating that guys easily believe me while women don't. Why is that?

Thank you for your reply. I had many encounters with women, and my response was always the same: I avoided them when the sexual encounter was about to happen. I'm social by nature, and I talk to them regularly, but when it comes to romance, I keep a healthy distance. I aim to completely overcome my ego and find total peace. Tranquility. Stillness.

Hey everyone, I’m feeling called to share something really personal about my spiritual journey, and I’m excited to hear what you all think. I’m 32, a virgin, and I’ve been working to transcend my sex drive—not by pushing it away, but by watching it with total awareness. It’s been a wild ride, and I’d love to open up a convo about this with you. For me, spirituality is about peeling back the layers of my ego, and sexual desire has been one of the biggest layers to work through. Instead of acting on those urges or trying to squash them, I just sit with them. I observe the cravings, the heat, the thoughts—everything—without judging or jumping in. It’s like letting a wave roll through me and fade on its own. I’ve been using this letting-go approach, staying super mindful, and honestly, it’s shifted things big time. I’d say I’m about 80% free of my sex drive now. It’s quieter every day, and I feel like in a year or two, it might just dissolve completely. This isn’t about thinking sex is “bad” or anything—it’s about wanting to live from a place beyond those instincts. It’s tough sometimes, sitting with those urges without reacting, but it’s also freeing in a way I can’t fully describe. I’m not trying to be a monk or deny who I am; I’m just chasing a deeper kind of peace. I’d love to hear from you all: Has anyone else tried letting go of sexual desire or other instincts as part of your spiritual work? How’s it going for you? What’s your take on balancing human drives with spiritual growth? If you’ve played with non-attachment or mindfulness like this, how’s it changed how you see desire? I’m not saying this is the way, just my way so far. I’m super curious about your experiences or thoughts—lay it on me!

I never chase women because it makes me less masculine. They always come to me. And it's not an ego game. The question is: "Why are men running after women?" "To get pussy. To have sex." Let's cut the bullshit. But the question is deeper, because I see desperation. Why?

Hi. I notice at work that whenever a new female co-worker gets the job, most men orbit around her. They come talk to her in the hopes that she'll give them attention and go out with them. Why are men so driven to get a woman? I seriously don't get it. Because I see what's happening at work. The chasing and the 'desperate' attitude that men have just to get a woman. This may not be the perfect topic, but that is what I saw: most men are desperate to get a woman. And that's not vice versa: women aren't desperate to get a man. What are your thoughts on this?

Is it possible that we'll never know the mystery of reality? We can only speculate about it and observe phenomena from limitations. Humans are limited. Can we know with certainty that God exists?

I agree. I saw many women suffering because they had sex with attractive guys. Many end up as single moms.

Trump is an evil person, but I couldn't see that in the beginning. I'm so happy I'm waking up.

Is coffee dangerous? What are your thoughts on coffee@Leo Gura? Should I cut it off?

I agree. He has a belief that sex is essential and another belief that causes him resentment for not having sex. These two limiting beliefs are keeping him resentful. I'm 31 years old, a virgin, and I'm happy about it. I could have had sex but refused many times. I'm anchored in spirituality, bliss, peace, and well-being. With that being said, we must be prepared for life by making ourselves strong and powerful—energy, vitality, and a drive to work with joy and motivation. That is enough.

Why is that? Because the USA should get involved everywhere in the world. The US military is an essential component in ensuring a peaceful world. China would be worse—I guarantee you that. Russia is committing genocide in Ukraine. It's an awful situation there.

I agree with John Bolton. NATO is a vital component of a peaceful and stable world. If Trump withdraws from NATO, Europe will be in shambles. I'm fearful for Europe.

SpaceX is going to try to do it. We could fail, but we're going to try to do it. “The pivotal breakthrough that's necessary, that some company has to come up with to make life multi-planetary, is a fully and rapidly reusable orbit-class rocket. This is a very difficult thing to do because we live on a planet where that is just barely possible. If gravity were a little lower, it would be easy. If it was a little higher, it would be impossible. It's just a very tough engineering problem. I wasn't sure it could be solved for a while. But then, relatively recently, probably in the last twelve months or so, I've concluded that it can be solved. And I think SpaceX is going to try to do it. Now, we could fail. I'm not saying we're certain of success here, but we're going to try to do it. And we have a design that, on paper, doing the calculations, doing the simulations, it does work. And now, we need to make sure that those simulations and reality agree, because generally when they don't, reality wins.” https://x.com/elon_docs/status/1845770608560291917 National Press Club, 2011

I'm on the spiritual path no matter what. My mind is silent. It's just awareness permeating through my mind and body. But I don't want to give up on the world—I don't mean the ego world. I want to continue living a normal life and have peace. That means I still want to have a career or something similar. Or joyful play. But I can't connect with most people since they are interested only in mundane stuff. If I'm socializing with them, it doesn't stimulate me at all. I don't have that much of an interest in worldly things. I'm alone most of the time but I don't feel lonely. Did anyone experience this? How about you, @Leo Gura?

Hello. After you awaken by transcending the ego, there's just awareness. Emotions no longer intrude—just consciousness remains. You're no longer stuck in a narrow chamber of thoughts. Your mind gets quiet. There's only inner stillness left. But you're still in a body that needs food. You're still in the world, even though you're not of it— for your interest in it has vanished. There are material things you see. People on the streets. You have a job. And you need money to buy practical things. But now? What's next? Because I've lost interest in material things. How can I enjoy life? Should I redefine my life's purpose now? Or just exist? Like just being. Any thoughts? Or guidance?
