So I've tried to go monk in the past, and I failed. Met a girl. Wasted about 8-9 months trying to make it work and ignored a ton of my own philosophy to do it. Now that I've snapped out of the foolish optimism I'm giving it another go. Does anyone have any tips, or tricks? Has anyone learned anything from their journey of monk-dom that they feel could help others? I hear it's easier the older you are. Being in my early 20's I find it hard to give up sex, and don't have the money for a sex doll.
