>From the same web page as the one I addressed to Feste:
Well, actually our Sanskrit teacher and our S.C.I. (high school precursor to 
Vedic Science) teacher would spend long days talking to us about the dangers of 
masturbation, sex before marriage, sex before turning 25 (when 'our brains 
would be fully developed') and that sexual release would slow our brain power 
and also alter our physiology in ways that would make it harder to transcend 
through TM and thus harder to reach enlightenment.
These topics were covered extensively through grade 7 through 9, and were 
touched on in 10 through 12 briefly. These ideas were pulled directly from 
vedic scripture, and from Maharishi's talks on subjects like sex and how to 
keep the physiology pure for optimum ability to transcend during meditation.
So whether or not you want to talk about the TM movement's open views about sex 
or not, this is what was taught to us at Maharishi School of the Enlightenment 
(MSAE), in Fairfield, Iowa, which sits on the campus of Maharishi University of 
Management. MSAE is one of the flagship, shining stars in the TMO fleet, as you 
have pointed out in your other post, so I hope you aren't about to back-peddle 
and say that TM has nothing to do with MSAE.
I will let the rational, non-weasel, non-TM-apologists in this thread decide 
for themselves what the TMO has to say about sex.
