But if you are still celibate at 33, there is something wrong.

No, it's a choice and it's a choice that confuses you.

[Mister Magoo]

Yes, it does. A lot.

it's a choice

Yeah, but then so is shoving fruit up your nose. In both cases your likelihood of finding a mate to reproduce with is reduced.

I think this guy could win a Darwin award without actually having to die young.

So, something was WRONG with the LORD Jesus Christ (who remained celebate until he was -- yep: 33)?

This article shows how much our society's changed just since the 'sexual revolution' began in the '60's, and I admire this young for standing by his convictions.

Today's young people are growing up in a society where EVERYTHING is about sex ... constantly.

Back in the late '80's I became friends with a young man who made the same decision to remain celibate until he married, because that's how he read The Bible.

I am 20 yrs older and a product of the '60's, so at the time I considered him somewhat querky in that regard, but deep down I respected him for the stance. I had this certain feeling God would Bless him for his decision, and I was right.

Today he and his wife are very much in love and have 2 beautiful children. It is such an inspiration and a joy to see how God has richly Blessed their marriage.

I attribute much of that to a young man who had the spiritual insight and strength of character to hold to his convictions, while at the same time, living in a society saturated 24/7 with sexual stimulus.
