Then why do you suggest he remain celibate, if not as a punishment for his 'moral failings'? Remaining celibate would
prove nothing nor wouilf it
improve anything. Self-punishment is the only the reason I think you could suggest anything as extreme as life-long celibacy.
And no, punishing yourself through self denial - especially tpo an extreme- is not a healthy, normal avenue of coping with an event.
