H.H. Sivarama Swami on Sex

His Holiness Sivrama Swami weighs in on Gauranga Kishore's blog post on sex in his recent podcast.

It's a few minutes in length so it doesn't give a very nuanced presentation. If you only get a 15 second sound bite on television or radio, make sure you use it to say something simple and catchy like: "Osama bin Laden is a terrorist!" or "Meat is Murder!", rather than wasting it with "The situation is nuanced, and there are a number of factors to consid...."

Ideal theory is always necessary and fundamentally important, but if you've been alive for very long you've probably realized that this isn't an ideal world and requires some management (balancing of contradictory considerations in dynamic tension). So for a thirty second sound bite an ideal theory is good, but for actual implementation you will probably require something more.

For that you are would do well to read "Family Matters - Dealing with Illicit Sex" by Matsyavatara das.
