Gandhi and celibacy
From 1906 Indian nationalist leader Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948) vowed to abstain from sex
He was following the practice of Brahmacharya, a Hindu spiritual path which attempts to eliminate desire
To test his discipline, he habitually slept with - but refrained from sex with - naked young women, something he called "a worthwhile experiment"
