I’ve always figured some were attracted to the clergy because they weren’t comfortable with whatever sexuality they were stuck with. Pedophiles, homosexuals, horn dogs, any sexual feelings the Church deems sinful. They’re thinking if they join up, they can get away from these evil temptations. But they underestimate the power of human sexuality. Excepting the true asexuals, we’re pretty much all-in on fucking, no matter the risk.
OTOH, maybe I’m exceptionally horny. Having had over 50 lovers doesn’t make me a man slut, does it?
Other Christian groups are fine with marriage, it’s only the Catholic clergy who strictly practice celibacy, hard as it may for them. Catholic priests used to be allowed to get married but somewhere down the line, the properties that Catholic priests accumulated are passed on to their families, and the Vatican is having none of it. There is a theological reasoning to back up their celibate policy, but we all know it’s a convenient excuse for the church to keep properties for themselves.
Depends on your age. If you’re 95, almost but not quite. Though some may still theorize it counts.
If you’re 25, yes.
But either way, you do you. As long as no harm’s done, nothing wrong with being one (do make sure you check yourself for STDs though - accidents happen).

Consecutively or simultaneously?
Simultaneously! Life is short. Take big bites.
