[a] Among other problems, you disregard the possibility of wide
difference in age, i.e. possibly younger man with older woman,
especially possible in levirate marriage, Deut 25:5,6, so that you
impose (I choose this verb deliberately) this odd perspective of
"higher"/later calling on younger men.

[b] I do not take even my cultural, much less my spiritual, cues from
Hindus or Buddhists.  That you suggest we do so is...oddly informative.

I know no related scriptural citation in which we are told that the
later stages of life are intended to be celibate, and Paul's instruction
against deprivation (1Cor 7:2-5) provides no context, no "out," upon
which to stake a claim for sexlessness at _any_ point in marriage.

This abject nonsense that "higher calling" is equated to sexlessness is
rancid scriptural insanity.  You are struggling for a way to justify
your pre-existing opinion by means that are decidedly not scriptural.
