9xlust

[Guest guest]

Maybe this would be a very good issue to finally get done with, as it is so

often being stamped on the backs of the women. Did or did Prabhupada not say

that women are 9 times more lusty than men? If yes what does he mean? Is

there some esoteric explanation? Was it in the "good" old days? I agree with

the statement below that in reality it is the men who are lustiest. It is

very sad that devotees preach this (and they often do) when actually it

doesn´t match reality. In one sense I understand because in the media there

are at least nine times more naked women than men, but I guess that is

another story, cause who´s looking at the pictures?
