I meant that these women are able to experience these moments of ecstasy and transcendence outside of marriage yet still being pure. Not through sinful means. Marriage of course is not a sinful mean.

If abstaining from sex is keeping one pure, then having sex makes one impure.

And anything that makes one impure is sin.

By your reasoning, then marriage and sex are sinful and it's better to be single.

If singleness were better, then perhaps you could explain why God created man and woman and created sex, and ordained and blessed marriage and the marriage union.

If singleness were better, God would not have created a WIFE for Adam nor would He have given men and women a sex drive and made it pleasurable for them.

He could have had people reproduce by budding or some other means that didn't involve sex.
