Truthfully, this is probably a good move. Carnality and materiality bar a person from spiritual enlightenment. Even celibacy can be no more than a minimum requirement for those desiring spiritual realization. Factually, the enlightened are beyond sexuality and know any involvement with it to be yet one more trap that binds us to human misery and travail.
