Dear Deepak, List,
Sexual energy has a way of building up. When there is excess sexual energy
with no place to go, and when other circumstances are favorable, the sexual
energy can get diverted into Kundalini energy (the same thing, really).
With that kind of cause and effect, along with subtle (or not so subtle)
prejudices against women (or homosexuality) or sex in general, it is fairly
natural to "blame" sex as counter to spirituality.
And when K becomes active, it is often so pleasurable that ordinary sex
becomes less interesting. On the other hand as Krishna found out ;) Kundalini can
make the libido go into hyperdrive. It really varies a lot. Detachment is
simply part of the whole syndrome as the "ego" disappears and one's actions
become more automatic.
As Forrest points out, sex is extremely complicated. There seems to be a lot
of preprogrammed (DNA?) influences as well--things we can't control. Those,
combined with religious programming and other social influences can cause real
confusion.
An interesting site re: celibacy from Yogi Tom.
