	Celibacy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A vow of celibacy is a promise not to enter into marriage or engage in sexual intercourse.
		Clerical celibacy is a requirement for priests, a church law which is maintained by the Western Catholic Church and also by the monastic orders of Hindu and Buddhist traditions in the East.
		The Catholic Church's practice of clerical celibacy among priests and bishops of the Latin Rite and bishops of all rites, Eastern and Western, was confirmed by the Second Vatican Council and reaffirmed by Pope Paul VI in his encyclical letter, Sacerdotalis Caelibatus, June 24, 1967.

	Involuntary celibacy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Involuntary celibacy is the failure to establish an intimate relationship or engage in sexual intercourse for reasons other than voluntary celibacy or sexual abstinence.
		Involuntary celibates who choose not to engage the services of a prostitute for ethical or legal reasons could be viewed as accepting their celibacy voluntarily - in the extreme, it might even be argued that the refusal to rape a member of the opposite sex implies a voluntary aspect to celibacy.
		Whilst such views are not commonly supported amongst the Involuntary celibate community, it is more debatable whether a person qualifies as an Involuntary celibate if he or she "merely" has high standards in assessing a potential mate and therefore does not have a relationship for a protracted time.

		I like the word chaste a lot better than celibate, but I like celibacy better than chastity (as words).
		Celibacy is abstinence from sexual intercourse, and sometimes from all sexual relations and from marriage, and implies a commitment to this practise.
		Chastity is abstinence from impure or extramarital sexual relations, or a general state of purity and virginity etc. So marriage can be a chaste relationship without being a celibate one, or could be both if there was no sex in it.
