It should not be forced upon individuals from "summary" of Celibacy by A. W. Richard Sipe
Forcing celibacy on individuals violates their fundamental right to autonomy and self-determination. It is a form of coercion that disregards the unique needs and desires of each person. Celibacy is a personal choice that should be made freely and without external pressure. When celibacy is imposed, it can lead to resentment, frustration, and even psychological harm. Individuals should have the freedom to explore their sexuality and make decisions that align with their values and beliefs. Forcing celibacy upon someone is a violation of their personal boundaries and can create a sense of powerlessness and alienation. It is essential to respect the autonomy of each individual and allow them to make choices that are in line with their own conscience. Celibacy should be approached with sensitivity and understanding, rather than as a rigid rule that must be obeyed at all costs. It is important to recognize that celibacy is not suitable for everyone and that individuals have the right to determine their own path in life. By respecting the autonomy of individuals, we can create a more compassionate and inclusive society that values diversity and personal agency.
