Giving up a great part of what it means to be human by forgoing sex for a lifetime...

You mean like Jesus did?

Where does it say in scriptures that Jesus died a virgin?

In the culture at the time, it would not have been considered a "sin" in the usual sense. The virginity of a man was not considered something that needed to be preserved for either religious or social reasons. Therefore, I see no reason to exclude the possibility that Jesus had sex, and it seems to me it would be more likely than not.
