> "Not having sex" isn't something valuable in its own right, you aren't getting any bonus points for that — you're just depriving yourself (and presumably the other party too) of some fun and for a rather spurious reason 🤷
not smoking crack also is depriving myself of some fun for the spurious reason that some people can't handle it and will choose smoking crack all the time instead of long term goals in the future.
sex isn't just some fun, even if 60 years of propaganda say otherwise. the spurious reason is that not giving in to every impulse is good for the psyche.
like, you can just communicate that you don't want to have sex. if there is nothing else to do or this request invokes drama, it's not long term anyway. that goes for both sexes.
