#celibacy

I was recently celibate for a year. Not out of choice, but because I was grieving the loss of a past relationship. After much post-breakup drawing out, I had finally cut ties with an ex. Ending all communication affected me in ways I hadn't foreseen, even when I was already dating other people. As much as I tried - and even though I was filled with desire - I couldn't open up physically to anyone.

In The Book of Sheen, released Tuesday, the Two and a Half Men star wrote that there's "not enough room in my car" for dating right now. In an interview with Page Six published in time with the release, the actor shared that he hasn't had a girlfriend in almost a decade, prompting the interviewer to ask if that meant he'd been celibate.

Not so, in my experience.
