Sexuality may be a big part for some people’s lifes. But for others, it has virtually no part. Breathing is an intergal part of being alive, but you’ll spend 99.9% of you life never thinking about it. Sure its there, its a thing… but unless you actively think about it, it doesnt actually effect who you are.
But it does. I think I understand what you are saying. But you can’t just ignore all of human evolution that brought made us all who we are.
If you are a monk who has committed to celibacy and given up money, who only eats what people put into your begging bowl, money and sexuality are still apart of your life. I’m arguing that it is impossible to separate our sexuality from our existence.
This is not to negate someone’s lived experience at all in any way. Whether we want it to or not money and sexuality are an integral part of our lives.
Maybe if we live in a cave and never interact with any other human beings, idk.

Celibacy is a choice. they must acknowledge their desires and then reject it. What im saying is theres nothing to reject because it never comes to mind.
