How can we repress a million years of evolutionary desire to further our DNA OR thousands of years of instruction to "become fruitful and multiply" (notice I include evolutionary and reactionary views as either way, we have a POWERFUL motivation "built in" to have sex).

You're acting like it's impossible to suppress libido, and all humans are slaves to their sexual instincts. This is what makes the priesthood so special and different, because they can forgo their natural desires for that of faith and spirituality.

...but I get the feeling that's something you might have trouble conceptualizing.
