If you're a single Catholic, because he's likely to have the most relevant sex advice to offer you.

Honestly, I wouldn't go to Hugh Hefner for sex advice either, but he would probably be a better choice as he actually knows what it's like to have sex.

He's only a better choice if he appeals to you as a better model for sexuality.

If I were going to climb Mount Everest, would I ask an experienced mountaineer or someone in a fancy hat off the street?
Is that analogy better?

No, just as poor. You're still including the unspoken assumption that advice will only be sound if it doesn't advise against climbing the mountain in the first place.

All I'm saying is that the pope has not and will not have sex, so making him some sort of authority on it is a really bad idea.

You're still too general here. It's a really good idea if you're interested in Catholic sex. A really, really good idea. He's your go-to guy there. He's not very reliable for information on safe casual sex or technique, but that was likely never his aim and it doesn't negate his value for a particular kind of sex advice.
