Meh, most either masturbate, seek out sex secretly, have sex with others in similar positions or take advantage of children. Very few people are truly celibate their whole lives.

You have zero way of knowing that. It's strictly your opinion.

quote:
The bible says it is a perversion to sleep with your wife while she is on her period. The bible says pulling out is punishable by death. The bible says women should not speak in church. The bible says men cannot have long hair.

Rule one when it comes to the Bible is that it be rightly divided. Second, you can't pull a text out and use it alone when other texts apply. If you form a opinion on that text, then find another that goes against your opinion, you are wrong, not what you read the first time. You formed your opinion without all of the facts within the text.

An example here for you would be the long hair. Does the Bible say long hair is a sin?

Prisons, slaves, preists, monks, etc. Throughout history and still today, celibate people have found ways to have sex. Even many Popes had tons of sex before becoming the Pope.

Virtually the only "celibate" group in history without known sex on a large scale are nuns, and many nuns don't enter into the order until later in life.

People. Want. Sex. It's part of our biology.
