You're being too literal here Judy. The joke wasn't meant to question that he 
had sex. (And I agree...as gorgeous as Judith was, I would NOT want to see the 
little guy crawling all over her. Yikes!) I used it with reference to the idea 
that we somehow didn't hear what we heard from him repeatedly....that he was a 
practicing celibate monk. He never said "I used to be one" He stated quite 
clearly that this is what he is. And he stated it often.
There's an incident in the sexy sadie files where a, after he embraces a woman, 
she says "but aren't you a monk?" He says "yes" and lets go of her.
