I think many people are aritficially commiting to intiation.

HpS - ASA -- It seems like a very general article.  Very good. Rather than "I think" or "Everyone I know", it would be nice to see some survey results. Of course, the demographics of the survey would be nice to know.   As we have heard the Kinnsey Report gave specific results on pressure for sexual relations etc., but was that Westerners?  It was 50-years ago. General survey reports can help in a general way, but we are faced with our own specific situation, and then we need specific details of how people like us are dealing with things.

Prabhupada had a reasonable amount of time to make basic adjustments, see the situation, so his perspective seems to be very valid, it is, just as the article says, a matter of how to apply his perspective.

We disagree "However, in marriage, all other religions condone sexual intimacy as a God-given privilege."  The Catholic church also had a standard like ours. Maybe they have changed. Also, Sufi leader I know also explained a rather strick standard in their Muslim tradition.

What level of attachment to gross sexual action do we have. Always some people more than us, always some people less than us, then understand from Prabhupada how to make INDIVIDUAL progress.

Otherwise The Evil One will catch us and make us work for his Clothing Industry.

O.K?
