So...the cobweb club is just celibacy with a modern day spin on it. Somewhere along the line, chasing sex became more important to some than cultivating relationships. I think those who choose to abstain are simply trying to bring some balance to the dating scene. Many people abstain for different reasons and for different lengths of time. Abstinence is most popular within the religious community. However, it's becoming a popular trend amongst the secular population as well. Abstaining can prove to be beneficial to some for many different reasons. It can provide space and time for healing from past relationships and clarity before entering a new union.
