Celibacy != not having sex[edit]
No, Celibacy is foreswearing being in a relationship. **Chastity** is foreswearing sexual contact. Roman Catholic priests were originally required to be *celibate*, ie *not* *in* *a* *relationship* (ie married) to prevent church property being inherited by the priest's (legitimate) offspring.
Roman Catholic teachings want everybody to be *chaste* because Roman Catholic teachings hate the idea of people having sex.
Should so much be taken out without giving a reason?[edit]
This type of edit could damage the wiki. Proxima Centauri (talk) 20:13, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

- Can I just be 5, and say "go away". --

Being an adult and explaining why you took so much out would be better. Proxima Centauri (talk) 21:12, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
- Because "improvement" doesn't mean "leaving everything in tact and just adding yet more". Relatively little useful content was actually outright removed.

Abstinence[edit]
"It is distinct from abstinence because the choice to be celibate is an intentional act done for personal growth rather than external rules or lack of opportunity". I thought some people also abstain when they are able to have sex, but don't want to contract STDs or get pregnant. Landmartian (talk) 15:43, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
Incel[edit]
Do incels really exist? I think not, since there are three billion people of the opposite sex in this world, many of whom are just as desperate to get laid as the self-described incels. It's just a matter of lowering one's standards enough. It's similar to how almost all jobless people can find work if they're willing to work for a low enough wage in shitty enough conditions. Unless you're quadriplegic, you can probably both find work and get laid. Landmartian (talk) 02:44, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
What do you mean stunt sexual development?[edit]
What on earth is "sexual development"? Temp username (talk) 06:10, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
