But celibacy can also lead to a deeper spiritual connection from "summary" of Celibacy by A. W. Richard Sipe

Celibacy is commonly understood as the practice of abstaining from sexual activity. While this can present challenges for individuals who choose this path, it can also lead to a deeper spiritual connection. By refraining from physical intimacy, celibates are able to redirect their energy and focus towards spiritual pursuits. This heightened sense of devotion can bring about a greater awareness of one's inner self and a stronger connection to the divine. In the absence of sexual distractions, celibates are able to cultivate a sense of inner peace and tranquility. This can lead to a more profound spiritual experience, as they are able to quiet the noise of the outside world and listen more closely to their inner voice. Through meditation, prayer, and contemplation, celibates can deepen their understanding of themselves and their place in the universe. Furthermore, celibacy can foster a sense of discipline and self-control that can be beneficial in spiritual growth. By mastering their physical desires, celibates can develop a greater sense of willpower and resilience. This can help them overcome obstacles and challenges on their spiritual journey, leading to a more profound connection with the divine.
