It could have many of the benefits of serial monogamy, while making coordination a lot easier. During the celibate periods people wouldn't get distracted by sex at all. It'll encourage people to plan their lives, rather than just drifting. It would allow people to get any benefit from asceticism, whilst also benefitting from sexual relations; possibly even becoming Millean Competent Judges...
I don't actually think it would be an improvement. But it doesn't seem to be more obviously worse than many of the previously mentioned wierdtopias.
Ah, now I take your meaning. Perhaps "asexual" would have been a better term than "celibate".
I still think there's some confusion here, though it might be me. If you don't think it's an improvement on reflection, it's not a weirdtopia.
