hello Bothi

the Buddhist religion is based in faith in the Triple Gem, namely, Buddha, Dhamma & (Noble) Sangha

for the most part, the Noble Sangha are celibate (however, some are not)

for most part, lay Buddhist practitioners are not celibate (however, some are not)

if celibacy is an issue for you, then Buddhism may be an issue for you

for example, Catholicism does not condemn celibacy. Hindu yoga does not condemn celibacy (brahmacharya)

however, Protestant Christianity & Islam are examples of religions that generally strongly condemn celibacy

Each religion that has a celibate tradition has some clergy, ordained following social custom, who are naive & curious about sex.

No religious clergy is perfect, just as no group of lay practitioners are (morally) perfect.

I hope for BWB to have quality discussions

I trust there are appropriate forums for your needs. In Buddhism, it is not appropriate to discuss Dhamma with the disinterested.

[Buddha taught:]

And what, monks, is the power of benevolence? There are four ways of benevolence; by gifts, by friendly speech, by helpful acts and by bestowal of equity. This is the best of gifts: the gift of Dhamma. And this is the best of friendly speech: to teach again and again Dhamma to those who wish for it and who listen attentively.
