Your own celibacy would have to massively benefit others - for instance, if you were going to have 2 children, your celibacy would have to allow your sibling to have 4 extra children.
Of course. I'm not recommending to any genes to have their host go celibate. I just disagree with the deduction "if you're ceilbate you can't have children, so there's no way your genes could benefit from it, QED".
Well, it works in ants that share 75% of their genetic code with their siblings, but in humans... while its not impossible that celibacy could increase genetic fitness, its highly unlikely.
