Considering celibacy for life

Hi I'm 27 years old and I'm considering celibacy for life.
My reasons are to free myself from sexual desire and being more into the teachings of Buddha and for develop my skills and learn new ones in high levels.
On the other hand, sometimes I'm full of doubts like What if I knew someone and this person become my significant other? How would I feel if I break celibacy?

I'm only 36 days without PMO and sometimes my mind wants to PMO or get lost in the lust.

In the past I thought about becoming a buddhist monk but celibacy scared me because is a commitment and I wanted to be sure I could handle it. Now, I'm realising that celibacy could happen, I'm not considering becoming a buddhist monk but being celibacy yes.

What are your reasons for being celibate? Do you notice some changes in your life for better? any advice for being celibate?

Thank you.
