There are several things that people who want to sublimate sexual urges can do. Taking a vow of celibacy is one. That means you don't have to get laid to get respect. I read his entire manifesto and getting laid meant getting respect.

There are higher or greater reasons to become a priest including answering God’s call. Entering the sacred priesthood simply to push aside or “sublimate” one’s natural urges isn’t necessarily the best of reasons, although I’ll grant you that some may. One would hope that in their formation process, they would discover their real reason for doing so.
