Lawson, all I can say is that it sounds like you have talked to as few theoretical celibates as Judy has talked to homeless people. If you'd spent any time around them (Buddhist monks, Hindu monks, Catholic priests and nuns, etc.) you'd know that THAT'S HOW IT HAPPENS. Celibate for years or decades, and then bam! -- screw yer brains out for a while, then back to celibate for a few years or decades, and then bam! again. It's just how things work in the real world (as opposed to the fantasy world that people who have never *lived* that lifestyle dream up about it).
