No one whos told me celibacy is a viable option has ever been celibate. They dont even use the word. They say abstinent, which implies there will be an end. They dont consider what my life will be like if I never marry. Which is likely, given who I am, and the ways Im different. People stand at the pulpit or they come to my house and tell me not to need what every human needs. ... Nicole Hardy (from Seattle, Washington) from the preface to her book Confessions Of A Latter Day Virgin. Nicole was raised in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I once considered becoming a Mormon, because I believed in angels, and they seemed to base their theology on tales to the effect that Joseph Smith had met with an angel. (After looking at the lack of historical evidence, I decided that the religion lacked credibility.) But really, the main difference between her and me is that her struggles with these issues took place when she was in her thirties. She had no idea what it would like to be a 58-year-old virgin, as I am.
