Hi Anthony. Yes, that's right, imo. Since this is a Zen list, I
deliberately refrained from appearing to target other traditions.
In my opinion, this is one of the great risks associated with
Tantrism. To give the Dalai Lama credit, he did go on record as
saying that, until you are capable of drinking piss and eating
shit with equanimity, you shouldn't think of toying with sexual
impulses as a spiritual practice.
