Rob Greenfield Instagram – A Year Without Sex or Romance
As 2022 was transitioning into 2023 I made the decision to take a year away from sex and romantic relationships.
I’d like to share my reasons for this choice as well as some of my experience ten months into the year.
First though, I would like to acknowledge that this topic is quite personal and it is vulnerable for me to speak on sex and romance so publicly. At the same time this decision is central to my development as a human and a leader of integrity.
I believe that our society would exist in more harmony if our leaders – and all people – spoke with more transparency and acted with more integrity in their romantic and sexual relationships.
I have summarized my reasons here and write in much more depth in this article:

So, why did I choose to spend this year without sex or romance?
To deepen my connection with Earth and with the plants and animals we share this home with. Romance takes substantial time and energy and these resources are limited for me. I have been putting that time and energy into my relationships with Earth, plants and animals.
To deepen my connection with humanity and to pursue a more universal love. I am in love with humanity and I desire to deepen and solidify that love. I desire to live in a state of universal love for all. This will only come with intentional and dedicated practice.
To deepen my connection with myself and find completeness within. A central purpose in my life is to be complete and whole. As a leader, I believe this is part of my best strategy to be of service. Since childhood I have depended on sex and romance for my completeness.
To break my patterns of over-sexualization women. I was born into a society that over-sexualizes women and I am a product of that society. Now it’s my responsibility to break free and heal my inner relationship with women.
To overcome the sexist biases within me. I have deeply engrained biases of how men are more superior than women. I am intentionally spending more time with women in ways that deprogram these biases and creates new values around women.
