On the one hand, I've had the best subjective experiences in TM during times of celibacy. On the other, living in a society where every billboard around every corner is enticing you to "schwing!" if you get my drift, celibacy can be excruciatingly frustrating and, yes, dangerous to your health. I think if one is in a monastery or a surroundings that is protected from the influences of society then, yes, celibacy is a worthy ideal to aspire to. Otherwise, you're on a really hard and unpleasant road... > --- curtisdeltablues <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > > I honestly think celibacy is an unhealthy practice. > > Use it or lose it > > is the rule in biology.
