I have had relationships that have been sexual in nature. Is it still possible for me to make a vow of chastity?

It is theoretically possible for a person who has been sexually active to make a vow of chastity. In practice,however, admission to vows requires careful examination of each candidate’s motivations and level of maturity and readiness to assume the demands and responsibilities of celibate life. Only when the Church, through the bishop or religious superior, judges that a person is ready is he invited to make this vow of chastity.
