Yes, I didn't see the possible sexual aspect of Gopi Krishnas experience.
Perhaps I haven't read something you have... And I'm yet to see the sexual
aspect of my *own* experience.

I would be one of those replying no, definitely not. And I am also rather
surprised about the amount of yes-replies. What was the ratio of
man-to-woman in the yes-replies? Perhaps this is really a personal thing,
and me being rather young (23 by the end of the year) I don't feel the
impact on sexuality in the same way as some slightly older people would,
the hormones having different concentrations in individuals of different
age/heritage.

I think K is called sexual energy because celibacy increases the intensity
of K, and people with K sometimes choose to "preserve the energy" through
not ejaculating.

I have to disagree. For me, orgasm is a rush of feeling great for one
second, accompanied by strong sensation of relief and relaxation (after
all, Mother Nature/DNA has to somehow reward us males for squirting our
fluid). My spiritual rushes are quite different. The highest sensations I
have got from sex (not orgasm) have been deep love for my girlfriend,
sensation of "one flesh", and other "minor" experiences. It's all fun and
stuff, but not spiritual, in the light of my own experience. And no, I'm
not celibate, I have to think of my girlfriend also.

I think "sexual ecstasy" is so often spoken about because of democracy. It
would be unfair if ecstasy was limited to boring old solitary men on
Himalayas, while Mr. and Mrs. John Doe wouldn't get any of it. So someone
comes around telling that sex, when done correctly, is just as fun. And
the universe is happy again.

YMMV.
