Would you seek marital or sexual guidance/advice from someone that is celibate?

Certainly. I'd recommend it.

Advice on moral issues is not like learning plumbing or car mechanics. It's not a question of knowing where the bolts and brackets go in order to make something function.

Morality is not like that. It's not necessary to engage in copulation with a member of your own or the opposite sex in order to understand the fundamental truths of human sexuality, morality and psychology. That's because those truths are not found in the male or female reproductive tract nor in the part of the brain which goes "oooh.....aaaah" when a pleasurable sensation is experienced.

Rather, those truths been revealed by God to men and their fundamental value has been verified to the nth degree over thousands of years due to the calamitous consequences which occur when men ignore them, as has occurred with monotonous regularity. A man or woman who is chaste is quite capable of viewing the human experience in historical terms and drawing conclusions from it.

Perhaps we should all take our advice on sexual morality from someone whose entire life has been one sexual encounter after another. That's where your logic goes. I suggest Hugh Hefner. He'll set you straight.

No, seriously.....

I think advice on moral issues should come from the individual and their relationship with God, not from someone else...especially someone that has taken a vow of celibacy. and has probably never been married.

What we have here is two extremes..advice from a celibate priest or Hugh Hefner...How about someone in the middle such as a married pastor or a licensed marriage counselor?
