All of the top people, called numeraries, in Opus Dei are celebate -- are not sexually active at all. As you know, Catholic docterine encourages people to use their sexual energy in a way that serves others -- via the Sacrement of Martimony. Read about the teachings here: I think you will find this issue more complex that it initially appears!
