remember that most of the scientists surveyed lived before effective birth control, when marriage usually led to children.
Funny that no one's asked "to whom?".
I have a guess, though.

I ask because you're more successful than most of us here, and I know of many people who claim that celibacy is crucial to doing anything great with your life, for whatever your definition of great is. Scientific evidence is hard to come by though, and even still, most people don't seem to accept it.
