SEX AND SPIRIT
Indic texts often declare that the four goals of human life are:
1-Dharma--ethics.
2-Wealth---wealth.
3-Karma----pleasure &
4-Mokhsha-liberation.
(A)In dharma-sex,the purpose of sexual activity sonly procreation..Their is no love affair,no desire or attachment.If a man doesn't do his duty to fulfil the need of a women ready for conceiving,he is cursed.We observe this type of physical relation between 'rishis' & their wives.For example 'Kashyap rishi' warns 'Diti',that having an sexual union without the onset of the mensural cycle will result in birth of devils.So was 'Hiranyakashyap' was born.
In another story,'Kardama' is obliged to sleep with 'Devahuti',only for purpose of having a child.
Eventually 'Kapila Muni' was born.'Vyas Rishi'also goes to the widowed wives of 'Vichitravirya' under dharma sex,on instruction of his mother, and sons with wisdom were born.
(B)In karma-sex,the purpose is only pleasure--nothing else.
Homosexuality also falls in this category.
Karma,the god of desire,is feared as a great warrior who defeats mightiest of sages.He only faced a defeat before Lord Shiva-who is the Fountain-Head of KAMA-SUTRA.
(C)Kama-Sex is seen as a lethal force that can distract the ambition from their goals.Lord Vishnu has used it for over coming the devils.There are many mythological stories like this in Indic religious books
Artha- sex is transaction,a service offered in exchange of material favours.We see this act every where in our modern as well as historical societies.
(D)Moksha- sex is to break free from the unending cycle of birth & death.Tnatics practice it for Siddhi.In the narratives of Gorakhnath,one often hears references to Yoginis who live in the jungles of Banana grooves,have access to occult power and they will offer this only to them who is capable of having sex with them.
This idea is found in stories of Padmasambhava,who took Buddhism to Himalaya.Tara reveals this to Bodhisattwa & Shakti reveals it to Shiva,as Laxmi reveals it toDatta,the ascetic of Vishnu.
