Belle de Jour's 100 Days of Celibacy

Amorous Pop Culture

Belle De Jour, possibly the most famous author of a sexually themed weblog and certainly one of the web's most charming prose stylists, undergoes one hundred days of abstinence.

(I didn't realize that Belle De Jour : Intimate Adventures of a London Call Girl had been published.)

I finally put it all behind me. I found a new line of work and began a proper relationship. And then, this spring, I decided to go travelling. I had written about my adventures as a prostitute on my website, the book of my collected diary entries was about to be published, newspaper columnists were openly speculating about my identity, and I wanted to escape. My boyfriend knew about my former career and was broadly supportive of my writing, but his career meant he couldn't come with me. So, for the first time in my adult life, stretching before me like a punishment, was a period of enforced celibacy. How would we deal with being apart? It would be 100 days until we saw each other again...

100 days without Sex

Best of luck to her in all things.

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about Belle de Jour's 100 Days of Celibacy. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
