Jesus was called to a completely different life than the rest of us. Jesus was born of a virgin and he never had sex I am sure. Although sex is not a sin it does mark you and for whatever reason God did not want Jesus to live as a married man and there was no other way he could have had sex since he had to be a perfect sacrifice.

I don't think God intended man to be celibate. I think he intended for a young man and a young girl to marry and have sex all they want. In fact the bible says so

The Bible does not say "Have sex all you want".

Jesus was called to a completely different life than the rest of us. Jesus was born of a virgin and he never had sex I am sure. Although sex is not a sin it does mark you and for whatever reason God did not want Jesus to live as a married man and there was no other way he could have had sex since he had to be a perfect sacrifice.

But what did Jesus say on the subject and what did St. Paul say as well?

And what did Jesus say?

Matthew 19:12
1 Corinthians 7:7-8 and 32-35

he had to be a perfect sacrifice

And what of those who wish to follow Christ's command to "be perfect, as your Heavenly Father is perfect" (Mt. 5:48)? And of those who wish to to present their bodies as "a living sacrifice" (Rom. 12, see also Heb 13:15-16, 1 Pet. 2:5, 2 Tim. 2:4)? They can never achieve the same level of perfection, but can they be prevented from trying?
