The sect of the Nazarites was an OT foreshadowing of Paul’s endorsement of celibacy. Samson is a notable example.

And pushing it too far can lead to other troubles. I don’t know if Samson’s mother ever took a vow to keep him single as well as a nondrinker and nonshaver, the bible does not spell that out, but his affair with Delilah was his undoing.
