is really just an extension of 'Sex-negativity' that has been much talked about. And probably exists in endemic proportion in India (so much that sexual problems don't get treated and we can't even use the word SEX..). Of course, if it is the cultural norm, it is possible that it can be possible that I/a few others who agree with me, am/are 'Sex freaks' who're rationalizing their over-working limbic brains. But well, from a Normative view being that of Health and higher quality of life (since sex contributes much to our quality of life), I think we might just not be triple breasted whores from eroticon 6 with erogenous zones extending miles outside our bodies (thank you, Mr Adams).
So the point is that, for some abstinence has some power to improve self esteem. Mostly by the loss of negativity associated with sex.
Some disclaimers: Of course, it is for some people. And of course, it may not apply if the meaning that one attaches to sex is remarkably at variance with that of the general folk. And of course, there can be a hundred reasons (and some of them quite reasonable, healthy and just too personal) for abstinence. But it might be worth our while if we really wondered if Sex-negativity contributes to it. And getting it cleaned out in our heads.. So that we needn't rationalize too much and allow ourselves to just Have Sex. Safely of course..
Osho.
