Which begs that question that this article spurred for me: what are those people do to? They can't marry, and they can't have sex. Are they to just be alone for their whole lives, no choice?

Theologically and practically, Mormons offer no practical answer. Abstain from sex which is not genetic, until the afterlife when you won't want it through a miracle of God removing something you didn't want any way.
At this juncture, the solutions of our culture are quite incomplete and unsatisfying.
