I always thought celibacy meant no sexual gratification at all... like priests are *supposed* to be celibate... and always thought abstinence was just no sex, but masturbation or whatever was ok...
That's just me though.
EDIT: actually, now that I think of it (7 and a half seconds later), masturbation is supposed to be a sin as well... so maybe celibacy and abstinence really are the same thing... But I'm not that strong, so I'll draw a line between the two and say I'm abstinent instead of celibate... 'cause there's no way I'm not gonna have an orgasm when I want it. Just not gonna sleep with someone I don't know to get it.
