From the perspective of psychology, the author examines human sexuality and celibate chastity over the course of a lifetime. He also discusses identity, intimacy and its obstacles, relationships between men and women, some fundamental concepts of human sexuality including sexual orientation, as well as the spiritual foundation of celibate chastity. And he does so in order to help men and women who have embraced a life of celibate chastity to understand better this way of being a sexual person. It, therefore, has a wider audience than priests and men and women religious. Many Catholic and Protestant lay people, living the single life, feel called to just such a lifestyle. The ideas presented in this book will enrich their reflection on this fundamental dimension of their life and will add a significant new perspective to today's ongoing conversation about this topic.
