Speaking for myself alone on this one, any man with that viewpoint would not be the man for me.

I don't believe in religion. I believe in holding onto an ethical system that allows you to treat the people around you with respect at all times. God has little to do with how I treat the people around me.

Any man who genuinely believed strongly enough in his chosen faith to be celibate would therefore not be the man for me because I have no such corresponding beliefs. We would make one another miserable.

Since I rule out religion as a reason completely, a man who just didn't want to have sex "just because" would be mighty suspect in my eyes.
