celibacy
Means only to be unmarried; it does not necessarily indicate abstinence from sex, which is chastity.
(Penguin Dictionary for WRiters and Editors)
autotelic
A term denoting that a work, like beauty, creates its own excuse for being. Such a work needs no other justification. The opposite of autotelic is didactic: a didactic work has its justification in the teaching and spreading of a moral lesson derived from that work. From the Greek prefix meaning "self," and the root meaning "purpose."

Collected Fictions by Jorge Luis Borges
In 1517, Fray Bartolomé de las Casas, feeling great pity for the Indians who grew worn and lean in the drudging infernos of the Antillean gold mines, proposed to Emperor Charles V that Negroes be brought to the isles of the Caribbean, so that they might grow worn and lean in the drudging infernos of the Antillean gold mines.
