Accept the argument that celibacy is not normal or possible and I think you are just a hair's breadth from saying that monogamy is unnatural. Part of Christ's teachings is that we have control over our "natural" selves and that we do not have to be slaves to our baser impulses.

I believe Christ taught that it was "better to marry, than to burn." Which is a reference to the fire of desire, and punishment. Ifn you gotta get sum, better to go home to yo honey, than to deny the desire. One of the reasons Islam is so downright full of crazies, is their denial of basic needs. That's OK though, when they go to their reward, THEN they can let loose.

Celibacy with the help of the Holy Spirit is one thing. Celibacy by a pagan is another. More than a few in Christian work sites are phonies - hell-bound human toads.
