Perpetual Celibacy: How Realistic Is It?

There are Christians who argue that any Christian man ought to adopt the sexless lifestyles of Jesus and St. Paul, and to "embrace celibacy" until the days that they die.

We've seen what happens when too many men cannot handle the pressure to refrain from doing what normal men want to do.
The Catholic church has experienced an epidemic in sexual molestation from priests who took vows of chastity. A large percentage of those cases involved homosexual molestation of underage people, aka children.

QUOTE:

A new landmark report has revealed that the vow of celibacy taken by Catholic priests and clergy may have been the contributing factor for the years of child sex abuse within the church.

Issued by the Australian church's Truth, Justice and Healing Council the report states that 'obligatory celibacy' may have caused priests to abuse thousands of children and that priests should have 'psycho-sexual development' training.

The council's chief executive Francis Sullivan told The Australian that the church must now examine 'how individuals who have chosen to be celibate, can remain healthy and not begin acting out of a dysfunctional sense of self'.
