Since rediscovering his faith, he’s learned to respect women on a greater level, and even though he doesn’t see sex as something that is bad, he does see it as something that is sacred.
“One of the things I’ve learned through my faith is that sex is sacred,” explains Verástegui. “You have to take care of it in order to be able to share it with the mother of my children, in this case, my wife, who I’m eager to meet so I can tell her I’ve already been faithful to her for 14 years, even before I met her.”
We think it’s amazing that Verástegui has been celibate for this long, but sex is an important part of our health. Before you decide to follow in Verástegui’s footsteps, we must warn you of the health disadvantages of not having sex. For starters your risk for erectile dysfunction rises, your immune system weakens and is more susceptible to catching a cold or flu, and your risk for prostate cancer rises. Not to mention that all that pent up tension builds up and you feel stressed. We don’t know if we would be able to do it, but we do hope he finds his wife soon.
