celibacy

After a nasty break up with my sons father, I've decided to be celibate until marriage. Mainly because I was in a mentally/emotionally abusive relationship for so long that I forgot how to love myself. I don't want sex to cloud my judgement when it comes to future relationships. I know this isn't really the forum for this but I figured there's mostly ladies on this site so why not lol. Im wondering if anyone has been or is celibate. If you have, do you have any advice?
