4 Twin Flames Share Their Unexpected Celibacy Journey

Or “Why Sleeping With Others Feels… Wrong“

Among the many (maaaany) transformations that come with the twin flames experience, there’s a phenomenon rarely discussed in public: the change in how physical intimacy with others feels after connecting with your twin flame. This isn’t merely an emotional preference. Many describe it as a physical, almost visceral reaction that completely transforms their relationship with intimacy.

We’ve gathered authentic insights from twin flame community members who’ve shared their experiences with this challenging aspect. If you’re separated from your twin flame yet unable to connect physically with others, these perspectives may validate what you’ve been experiencing but couldn’t quite explain.

“I’m Going to Wind Up Being Some Kind of Nun After This Whole Thing”

Collective member Crionicstone shares: “I keep joking that I’m going to wind up being some kind of nun after this whole thing. I was already riding the line of being ace, I classified myself as demi. I have a significant other and don’t have my TF nearby physically.“

Their account highlights the physical boundaries that emerge during separation: “Once this journey started for me I really did not want to be touched. Like at all. By anyone. I’ve tried ‘getting over it’ but the thought of sleeping with anyone kinda disgusts me at the moment so I keep to myself.“

What makes this particularly difficult is the contrast between physical aversion to others and the intense connection with their twin: “The problem is I think about it with my TF often. He does the same. We’re both just celibate at this point.“

“I Feel Almost Sick to My Stomach”

Honest_Obito94 describes how this sensation becomes almost debilitating: “It’s almost to the point of being a hindrance. I get plenty of offers, but then I feel almost sick to my stomach when I think about actually going through with it.”

This member articulates the confusing internal conflict many twins face: “I can’t be with my TF right now, so why am I denying myself subconsciously?” This question resonates with many who find themselves involuntarily celibate despite opportunities for connection with others.

For most of us, this isn’t a choice. Much like most of the journey for that matter, it’s something that was thrust on us.

“Not Disgusted, Just Less Keen”

Not everyone experiences this as complete revulsion. Hell_of_a_Panda puts it more gently: “Not ‘disgusted’ per se, just less keen/comfortable.“

This subtler experience shows how the twin flame connection creates a spectrum of responses to physical intimacy with others—from mild discomfort to complete aversion.

Again, as with most of the journey there are no hard set rules here. No one-size-fits-all rule. I’m sure some twin flames in separation are able to separate themselves from this idea completely.

“It Gives Me Zero Feelings, No Excitement or Pleasure”

Next-Oven9647 provides insight into how this experience evolves: “My TF is [experiencing this]. I am too now that I have progressed in my learning journey, but before this I could be intimate but that gives me zero feelings, no excitement or pleasure, feel like a chore…“

This illustrates how awareness around physical intimacy often develops in stages—from mechanical engagement to conscious abstention as understanding deepens.

Why This Happens: The Energetic Connection

Twin flames share an energy field. When you connect with your twin, your chakras and energy systems begin functioning in tandem. This creates an unconscious, energetic bond that makes intimacy with others feel… discordant.

This isn’t about loyalty or morality. It’s about energy.

Your system has recognized its perfect match and resonant frequency. Connecting with anyone else creates a feeling of energetic dissonance that manifests physically.

Additionally, during the ascension process, both twins undergo energetic cleansing. This often makes the energy system more sensitive to lower vibrations and emotional baggage that might come with other connections.

For those experiencing this challenge, you’re not alone.

While some twins navigate relationships with others, most acknowledge that physical intimacy fundamentally changes after recognizing their twin connection.
