You know the sex thing can really be taken the wrong way, as in something "bad". Everyone is always looking for an excuse to make their strong desire for sexual enjoyment important for their evolution. Like when studies showed that drinking wine can be good for your health. I could almost hear a Bachanalian roar of approval across the globe. All Percival and I would think others are saying is that sex is fine but that sexual desire, the desire to be made whole by another through the body and it's senses is an expression of and the cause of duality. Have all the sex you want but sex lives in the world of birth and death, and sooner or later, if one grows weary of this gross body bound existence then sexual desire will have to be transformed into the desire for self-knowledge.
