I agree.  I find it a bit over the top to elevate GG to "God" status
and have the sense that celibacy was somehow "right" for him.  IMHO, much
of the case that he made for "solitude", "north" or whatever ends up
looking like an elaborate rationalization for his self-imposed physical
isolation.

GG was unique in many ways, but he was human;  one could reasonably
assume that he had a sex drive and probably some sexual interaction.
It's also clear that he wasn't at all comfortable discussing those things
or having others do the same.
