The celibacy wasn't always a part of old Christianity though.
It's an import from when the Epicurean "friendship communities"
(which were celibate) were absorbed into the surrounding culture
and turned into monasteries, otherwise unchanged much. Somewhere
around the 4th cent AD.
But generally yeah. Prayer is mostly used to keep boys from
jerking off. In the 19th century, Science came to the rescue
with Kellogg's Cereal. It was better than those damn clamp on
erection detectors that Scientists were giving them before.
