inquiry on a sexually repressed person sometimes prone to bouts of extreme religious fervour

I want Both sides here People, but does anyone know about/have an opinion on pastors and other very strongly devoted religious people being sexually repressed and consequently using their faith as a supplement for lack of gratification elsewhere in their lives?
I know this is a contentious subject, but it comes from a place of genuine interest, as I find myself:
A. a sexually repressed person
B. sometimes prone to bouts of extreme religious fervour

I am unsure if the correlations I am drawing are hugely inaccurate as I am not from religious circles living where I do in Canada.

Peace
