Jones is a single mother living in Kent, England.
At the age of 35, she is a staunch celibate who has been single mentally and physically for 11 consecutive years, even during her pregnancy with her daughter...
Jones first had the idea of celibacy at the age of 24...
At that time, she was still a pan-sexual addict who was addicted to "uncommitted sexual relationships", and she had dated boys and girls for a long time, and the people around her came and went in a hurry, and she was also happy...
But soon after turning 24, Jones's thinking changed dramatically, and after graduating from philosophy, she suddenly felt that "emotional relationships" had no meaning, she thought that love could not be trusted, and she didn't want to spend time dealing with all kinds of physical or emotional "relationships", and decided to become a complete celibate...
But after remaining single for a while, Jones had a strange dream in the middle of the night one day, she dreamed that she was pregnant with a child, woke up and felt that this was a hint from her body, and decided to "follow the dream" and have a baby in real life.
However, at that time, Jones did not have a fixed boyfriend, and did not want to find a random stranger to have a relationship for pregnancy, and after thinking about it again, she decided to obtain a child through modern technology.
At first, Jones considered going to the hospital for artificial insemination, but after learning that the overall cost would cost thousands of pounds, financial distress dissuaded her, so she turned to posting sperm donation help posts online, expressing her single desire to be a sexless mother.
It didn't take long for the lucky Jones to find a man willing to donate sperm for free, and she bought an "insemination box" online to hold semen, and since sperm were completely free, Jones spent only £25 in total.
After getting the sperm, she followed the instructions to DIY artificial insemination at home step by step, and did not expect to succeed in one fell swoop after the first attempt.
In December 2011, Jones became pregnant, and in September of the following year, her youngest daughter, Holly, was born.
For the next 10 years, Jones continued to live single, without dating, without relationships, remained physically and emotionally celibate, and raised his daughter alone, accompanied only by Jones' cat.
At that time, the netizens who provided sperm for free, that is, Holly's biological father, did not appear in the real life of their mother and daughter, but every year on his daughter's birthday, Jones would contact him online to chat with him about Holly's recent situation.
After Holly grew up, Jones told her the original origin of her true identity, and to her surprise, little Holly was very supportive, saying that she "liked" Jones' chosen lifestyle and wanted "always be the two of them".
But except for Holly, Jones' other family and friends stood on the opposite side of her, unable to understand Jones' state and frantically persuading her, such as "people need a partner to be happy" and "you are only 35 years old and have been single for 11 years."
Jones's mother, in particular, always asked her bitterly "why didn't she settle down"...
Of course, Jones occasionally questioned herself for being single for a long time, feeling like she had entered the 60-year-old state early and lost her charm, but most of the time she was thankful: "Being celibate means I can focus on myself instead of thinking about whether I'm going to please someone else, or feel inferior, or worry that I'm not the person my partner wants." ”
And Jones shudders at the thought of ending celibacy, because she can't even share a bed with her cat at the moment, and she can't think of anything worse than 'someone sitting on my couch waiting for me to do something for them.'"
In the face of persuasion from those around her, Jones often regretted that no one understood her: "People can usually understand casual sex, but they don't understand why I can be happy when I am celibate." They think I need a partner to be happy..."
