remember when I read that in a marriage ceremony in India, the man was committed to give pleasure to your wife is really pleased and surprised us educated in the strict and hypocritical Western morality can not understand how in other cultures, not only in Tantric sex is seen as something natural and necessary, not only for procreation but for the enjoyment and the demonstration of affection.
On this occasion I shall not because a book read recently is all I could say.
Peace and harmony in everyday life

sex is generally regarded as something negative, as something subversive to the spiritual life but Ramana Maharshi and other teachers did not think so. Ramana Maharshi said clearly that, contrary to common belief, Brahmachari has nothing to do with celibacy ... ... ... ... .... Celibacy is not a necessary condition for the holding of enlightenment or realization of the Self ... .... When I tell him that in ashram of Sri Aurobindo was observed by a strict rule that married couples could live there alone under the condition that they refrain from sex, Ramana Maharshi promptly asked "What good is that? While sex is in the mind, what good is pressuring people to refrain from practicing?.
... ... sexual desire is essentially biological and therefore natural. In essence, sex is not the product of thought ... .... I given that sex is primarily something biological, it would be an eyesore punish through the mortification of the body. Self-punishment in the form of renunciation of sex can not in any way approach the Self Realization
At the time of intercourse, as well pleasure, is there not tenderness, joy, self-neglect, abandonment, absence of the "I" which is usually immersed in fear and anxiety of life? The problem arises only later - As Ramana Maharshi said, "Thinking about it later" - When the ego-experimenter was absent at the time of That-is, comes into play when wanting to repeat the pleasure or thinking that the experience was a sin.
I hope that the issue has concerned and, Ramesh's hand, clarifying this point to those who were in doubt. Namasté
