Paul, you may recall that Nancy and John Coker and I
wrote an essay on sex for the Theosophical Network
years ago.  There was a deluge of comments, all
critical, suggesting that good theosophists didn't
need sex and were above such nasty things.  Not
one wrote in favor of our essay--which was to the effect
that sex is a normal and natural part of life, and that
one can have a sexual life and still tread the spiritual
Path.  Theosophists are as prudish (and wrong) today 
as they were last century.
