I disagree. It's only in our modern, deviant culture that celibacy is so foreign a concept as to make it seem near impossible. Plenty of people went through history without sexual gratification. Sex is not the end all and be all of life. It's a small facet, and our decadence has elevated it well beyond its proper place.
It's always been there. There's never been a reason to have young boys in a celibacy monkhood. Those boys are there to be the meat sleeves for the "celibate" monks.
It has always been that way.
We dress up the distant past with all kinds of "better than us now" bullshit, but humanity has always been exactly what it is. and when society wouldn't allow a behavior, that behavior would find a way to isolate itself under an image of goodness and propriety and keep it's forbidden aspects behind closed doors and monastery walls.
Out of sight. Out of mind. You don't rub our faces in it. We'll pretend it's not happening.
The only thing that's changed now is the idiots believe they don't have to hide it any more. Like no one's gonna remember who and where.
If it's a priesthood that has enforced "celibacy" as part of its thing and has pre-pubescent boys as members, then yes. It always is.

Just a song we sing ourselves to sleep with.
