Alan, how about "Most theosophists?"  The vast majority
believe in sex for procreation only, just like the Catholics.
This goes back to HPB's extolling of celibacy.  I am not sure
that they understood the psychological need for physical
and emotional intimacy in those days.  Intimacy with
a Significant Other is healthy, while sexual repression leads
to pathology.
