Alan:
..... Oops!  My only excuse is that I'm getting old.  I
have heard though that the original E.S. rules re celibacy
have been relaxed to a kind of equivalent of Victorian
British morality at its worst ....

Katinka:

aye, sex in marriage or a stable relationship is allowed
and homosexual relationships are allowed or not, depending
on which national section you are in!

And then I read in the HPB collected writings that it was
only advised to be celibate, not eat meat and not drink
alcohol...
How has the spirit of the rules disappeared, I wonder?
