If you're equating "celibate" with "unmarried" I would agree.

Having spent many years along the wall how many took their discharge in the area of the wall and started a family.
I daresay there were a LOT of "discharges" in the area, as the occupiers did tend to regard the locals as barbarians and thus not requiring the same treatment mandated toward citizens of Rome. . .
