What should everyone know about sex?

There is this story.About a yogi living in mountains.He was the perfect practitioner of detachment.Lived in a cold, dark place away from humanity in a makeshift hut.One evening, a newly wed couple appeared at his doorstep.They were drenched in rain and sought night shelter. Yogi relented.The hut only had one room, so yogi hung his dhoti on a rope in the middle of the room to create a partition and grant them some privacy.The couple got rid of their wet clothes and went to bed wrapped in sheets.After some time, the yogi heard the woman groaning.He couldn't resist stealing a glimpse.Plus the cloth got momentarily blown away by wind. So there he saw them having hot blooded sex.He turned his back towards them, and spent the night.The couple bade him farewell in the morning.But he could only think of one thing now- sex. There is this thing about meditation. You store energy in yourself. And whatever you focus it on, boom! You can have it all.You can learn any science, anything you focus upon.Unfortunately for him, this couple visited and his focus went to sex.He became mad. Left his place and began wandering.He could make no sense of it all.If he wanted sex, he couldn't know from where, whom and how much?Was he to fuck every woman on earth?Would that give him salvation? He could find no answer. He killed himself.

Now the questions raised by Yogi himself indicate that desires are bottomless. You can't fill the pit of desire. So if you indulge, you have to know how much and how far.

But there is another angle as well to it: perhaps it is important to find sex in life. It killed a Yogi, so who are we? If yogi had had sex in his days,he could have just said, "humm, going at it. I don't give a damn, I have had enough of it for my fill". So not having indulged made Yogi crave for the taste of it. His meditation broke because of lack of indulgence, not because of too much of it.

So here it is, one story- looked at different ways gives different interpretations. This ain't no duality. It is a paradox ,maybe?
