Marriage has many pains, but celibacy has no pleasures.

-Johnson, Samuel known as Dr Johnson
  Rasselas, ch.26.

When the parish priest rebuked him for his celibacy, saying it would lead him into debaucheryand sin, hesaid that a man who had to be muzzled bya wife as a protection against debauchery was not worthy of the joy of innocence. After that people began to treat him with priestly respect.

-Peacock,Thomas Love

There is a line between sexualityand promiscuity, and the line is closer to celibacy than not.
