Great book on celibacy

[Guest guest]

Dear Madana-mohana Prabhu,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All Glories to Srila Prabhupada.

 

Thanks for this superb file. I never new that the modern sexologists have

such a respected and favourable view to continence or celibacy.

 

An extract from Dr. Siegmeister:

 

"`You eject the substance of the synovial fluid. You send

forth, to gratify a moment's passion, the very material of which

the brain is made. This is a fact which you will acknowledge when

you consider that all this semen is the material of which all

these substances are made and supplied, and when the semen is

ejected you have selected the best part of the body to go out and

become to you a useless inert mass, which can never be restored

to you under any circumstances. It is lost and gone. Then, the

semen being out of the body, the sexual penalty comes apace. The

penalty for this loss of semen is so far reaching and so

concealed from the body of people of the present day that we do

not know the exact spot to look for it. But we tell you, when you

see paralysis, palsy, apoplexy, rheumatism, brain softening, bent

shoulders and haggard face; when you observe a young old man and

the dried up young lady, in all of these cases, and in dozens of

others, you may set it down that there have been sexual losses

and a waste of the bodily substance from the sexual organism.

 

"`You will see this penalty all around you, and there is no

place where you may go but you will see the fruits of this sexual

indulgence to excess. The penalty may be denied, and all these

diseases may be attributed to every other cause under the sun,

but you will be right in laying it at the proper place, and that

is to the sexual drain which has sapped the blood corpuscles of

the victim before you. We assure you nothing can be so very

enervating as this sexual excess, and any sexual mating is an

excess, providing it is not for the purpose of having children.

 

"`The penalty for the disobedience of this law is in the

shortened lives and the increased amount of disease which are

everywhere around us."

 

Dr. Siegmeister arrives at the same conclusion Srila Prabhupada has

instructed us, i.e. sex if at all indulged in should only for the

procreation of Krsna-conscious children.

 

Your servant,
