Explain the original single-sexed nature of the human being, what the division into two sexes entails, why the problems of sex become more complicated with the evolution of the human being, and the impossibility of giving a satisfactory rule for sexual behaviour to all seekers and why it must be adjusted to the varying stages and circumstances of individual seekers. State the ultimate goal which all have to attain eventually. Point out (a) the dangers of premature monastic celibacy so far as it affects the next incarnation, and (b) the dangers of overstimulation of sex in modern civilization. Explain how those who seek to curb or control sex desire may get help from the physical disciplines. Breeding children is a duty which cannot be prescribed for all but depends upon individual circumstances, natural inclination, and evolutionary stage.
