Humans were created for the purpose of populating the world.
Therefore, humans were also created with sexual urges. Repressing such urges, as opposed to channeling these urges in a permissible way, is a very difficult thing to do and does not necessarily lead to righteousness or any benefit. On the contrary, it could possibly be harmful to one's physical and or mental health. It could also lead a person to transgress very serious sins. One who has a chance to marry and prevent themselves from those transgressions is meritorious.
