		<description>Wow, that's interesting.


&lt;blockquote&gt;It is now widely known that Gandhi shared his bed with young women as part of his experiments in brahmacharya, &lt;/blockquote&gt;

"It is now widely known" is not enough proof for me at the moment. However, I remain open to the possibility of it. 

The first thing that popped into mind for me was Michael Jackson sharing his bed with children very openly.</description>

		<description>Have you heard about this:



&lt;blockquote&gt;It is now widely known that Gandhi shared his bed with young women as part of his experiments in brahmacharya, a Sanskrit word usually translated as "celibacy," but generally understood as the ultimate state of yogic self-control.  Gandhi believed that Indian ascetics who sought refuge in forests and mountains were cowards, and he was convinced that the only way to conquer desire was to face the temptation head-on with a naked female in his bed.

 

I take Gandhi at his word that he did not have carnal relations with these womenâ€”his sleeping quarters were open to all to observeâ€”so he was not among the left-handed Tantrics who engaged in ritual sex with their yoginis.  At the same time, Gandhi's Tantricism cannot be right-handed kind because this school proscribes intimate contact with women.  &lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;/a&gt;

I have a great book called "The Intimate Sex Lives of Famous People". A great read.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I could never share worlds, with a woman who did not have sex with me.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I would like to better understand what you mean by this statement.</description>

Maybe it's just their symbolic logo. It's just somehow a visually striking image.</description>

		<description>Well that strikes me as very honest and I find that to be wonderful. More damage, I think, comes from not openly expressing or recognizing these things and acting according to hidden personal agendas at the expense of others.</description>

		<description>I actually &lt;b&gt;need&lt;/b&gt; sex.  Perhaps there's another route to my feeling like a woman really deeply loves me, in the romantic way that my heart yearns for, but if there &lt;i&gt;is&lt;/i&gt; such a way, I have never seen it.

I've tried a lot of things.  I have tried several different types of relationships with women.  What has really moved my heart, though, is love and sex, which are very close together for me.

Further, sex permeates my whole life and being.  You might call it, "sex obsessed."  To me, though, it is just a natural part of who I am.  I like sexy &lt;i&gt;everything.&lt;/i&gt;  Consider it a personal style:  There are some people who decorate their room in &lt;a href="http://www.spaceagecity.com/googie/" rel="nofollow"&gt;1950's googie style.&lt;/a&gt;  Some people decorate their room in Santa Fe western style.  There are all these ways of doing it.  Myself, I live in gypsie/pagan/fairy sexy.

If you want to relate with me as I really am, rather than how you would like me to be, then this is something that you have to accept about me.  This is my freedom, and this is my joy.  I could never share worlds, with a woman who did not have sex with me.</description>

		<description>[...] Reflecting on Gandhi&#8217;s words about sex has lead me to further clarity on the subject: that most of what we consider to be the &#8220;sex-drive&#8221; in fact is not &#8217;sexual&#8217; or biological at all, but is composed of emotional needs expressed physically. That is, being incomplete unto ourselves curses us to seek completion in others - I believe wrongly so. [...]</description>

		<description>This is probably the best defense to me of the celibate Jesus, that he did *not* in fact do it with Mary Magdalene and have a bunch of kids. See also: caritas.</description>
