@MN5 A good reason to mask especially around the spiritual man. I bet you he is a pedo. Vow off the opposite sex seems to be leads to this.
Yeah have there been any studies around this? Repressing your natural urges like that is bound to have some weird impact. You also see alot of boys being raped in cultures where women are completely off limits outside of marriage.
Tricky Google topic I imagine, but having been an altar boy until I was 15, I can safely anecdotally say that's a fucken bizarre take and I didn't realise anyone would take it seriously. Vowing off the opposite sex doesn't make you a "pedo", anymore than vowing off the same sex.

Anecdotal but knew a young British woman who met him and said he was pretty creepy with her. This was 20 or so years ago.

@Rancid-Schnitzel Good question and I don't know. More speculation and stimulated by a lack of transparency from the Catholic Church. Just wondering if Priests are allowed to jack off to relieve sexual tension?

Only if they do it while watching a woman burn to death because if she survives she's a witch so hey, worth it.

Catholic priests were only forbidden to marry (not sure when celibacy was enforced) in the 11th century, to curb cardinals entering the aristocracy, and the loss of Church property through inheritance. As the great schism happened before that, Eastern Orthodox priests are still able to marry.

@Bones Catholic Church, Protestants, Epstein, Micheal Jackson, my grandfather etc. Basically a representation of humanity. No one has a mortgage on the subject.
Can't argue with that. Don't believe your other theory has much merit - that's a bit tail wagging the dog for me.
