Why does so much religion or "spirituality" have such an aversion to sex and sexuality?
Could it be that we all want to believe we are higher beings yet our sexual instincts show us that we aren't all that different from all the other animals?
If there is an eternal spiritual realm by denying ourselves the joys of the non spiritual we would be lesser people. In an eternal existence which is being claimed then 99.99999999% or more will not be on earth. Why would you willingly keep yourself ignorant of what it has to offer.
It's like a kid who wants to be an adult too quick and forgoes his childhood.
If God created these urges for us only to suppress them there is a problem with God and not with us.

Having sex does require a lot of energy. Every time when you have sex, a significant portion of your light have been lost.
Should religious people also abstain from running marathons, working out, taking jobs that require hard labor? In fact, doesn't any average 9 to 5 job take "your light"?
Because we are here to train to become Higher Beings,

It has more todo with what you are after when pushing spiritual growth. I cannot see two people who are loving each other as they where one single whole as being unspiritual. If the need is filled in greed then I can see it as only a carnal pleasure.
To those who are flowing chi/light. How much light do you really need when your cup is overflowing at every moment? What are you after and using it for? It is not like chi/light stops flowing just because you have sex.

Moderation? Was Jesus exercising moderation when he fasted for 40 days? Celibacy is NOT moderation. It's another form of starving oneself to achieve enlightenment.
I believe that the journey is more important than the destination.

Why?
edit on 22-1-2014 by windword because: (no reason given)
We are incarnated onto Earth to become a Higher Being.
The higher you reach in consciousness with God, the less time you will spend time doing Earthly things (again, this has to do with sex, working, eating, watching tv, etc.). But before then, you must practice moderation in order to get there.
God wants us all to become an adult one day in the higher dimensions and live to our full potential. You can't function properly in God's many vast Universes in higher vibration unless you get your education right here, right now in the physical.

No one has more time to meditate than my cat. She's fixed, so not obsessed with sex. Eats the same thing everyday, and isn't obsessed with food. Doesn't have a job, doesn't read or watch TV. Surely, she must be a very "High" being!

Most animals do. Even if they do get angry, it's in the moment, then they are back to their normal self. They relax into the moment and anger go.
Animals are in a different course of evolution process than we are. This is why it is called the Animal Kingdom (vs Human & Plant Kingdoms).
Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
