That's not repression and it's not "celibacy". Those are different things altogether. Repression is an act of trying to ignore your sexual feelings, whereas we're talking about taking them out of the picture completely, not even feeling their absence.
That IS repression. Repression is when you suppress your desires to such an extent that they become subonscious so you are no longer aware of them on the conscious level. It's why it can cause psychological issues, because the problem ends up expressing itself in more covert ways because you have suppressed it to the level of the subconscious.
