Best Answer

People remain celibate for many reasons. One reason is that they live alone and are single, divorced, or a widow/widower and there just isn't a person in their life. It is better to be celibate than to have a person for one night and not have a true relationship with another person. Empty sex is just that---empty. Others have a medical reason such as disease or physical impairment. For others it is a religious/spiritual reason. As you can see the reason's vary with people and all are valid for each person. It is a personal choice in many cases.
