Call to Singlehood; Point of Discussion

So...

today I sent a txt out to a few ppl and asked the question:
Is it crazy to think that ppl that have had sex b4 they were married are les likely to be called by God to singlehood (extensive, possibly lifetime).

I got some Pretty interesting answers. I won't put name of the person. just their sex. share your thoughts...

Female: No, I don't believe that. They can still be called to singleness. Everyone who has had sex may not necessarily have the desire or need to continue having sex...just because u have had sex b4 does not mean you want to be married...I believe if you have been called to a life of singleness you will naturally have no desire or a very low desire to be in a relationship


Male:
I don't think anyone is called to be single permanently. Not good for man to be alone.

Male: Not at all. It kind of makes sense.

Female: Hmmmm I dunno. God is capable of anything so ppl probably have been bought fought God on it

Male: Somewhat, cause they could've had a crazy drug problem or just have been part of a wild incident/past.

Female: Interesting question. I need to find the sermon my pastor preached about that. He believes a high sex drive is an indicator that you're not called to a life of singleness.

Male: ...I think God is telling me that. ...I want to believe however that it's a journey to get to a place where sex is not a motivation for marriage...

Male: I would agree that it is less likely... that's just my thought.

Male: ...I'm not sure of sp,etjomg as huge as the call to singlehood is circumstantial I think it precedes human decision or indecision.

Female: It could really go either way. His plan is exactly that.

Male: I don't think the two are related...

Male: No. I think our calling(s) in general are independent [of] our decisions. This includes marriage too.


The interesting thing is I started off thinking it was less likely to happen. And then, somewhere along the way, the reminders that God's purpose supercedes us hit me and I realized it's has nothing to do with whether or not we've had sex. It has everything to do with God's purpose.
