Also, I guess if you want a biblical perspective, Paul discussed his own choice to celibacy and expressed that he did it to stay pure and serve Jah, because he makes the comment that a man who is single is trying to figure out what he can do to please Jah, but when a man is married he works to please his wife. So Paul choose celibacy. Be he makes note that, if a man is not called to be celibate that he should not choose to do so because the results would be a failure.
1Cor.7
[1] Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.
[2] Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
[3] Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.
[4] The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.
[5] Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.
[6] But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.
[7] For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that.
[8] I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.
[9] But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.
Just another perspective
