I don’t get the logic that celibacy is a cause of sexual abuse? If you’re celibate you’re more likely to abuse children?

What’s the logic here?

I think the argument is that if you're celibate too long, you are more likely to lose control and abuse someone/thing (i.e. 1 Corinthians 7:5?). But I'm not the one making the argument or posting the threads (nor have I read any of today's threads on the subject). You'll have to redirect the question to someone else.
