Why women are choosing to be celibate or ‘boy sober,’ for a life without sex
Meaghan Wray has been celibate for over 18 months, but she didn’t just wake up one morning and decide to stop having sex.
“It was more of a slow burn decision, one that started with being completely turned off by men and wanting nothing to do with them, to deleting most of my dating apps,” said Wray, a 34-year-old writer from Toronto.
The catalyst was a “bad experience” with a man she’d met on the dating app Feeld; he’d seemed great, but when they met and hooked up, he removed the condom without telling her, then unmatched and unfollowed her. “I just realized I felt a lot happier removing dating and sex from the equation.”
