Hello Bothi,

I ve asked myself the same question many times, why monks are not allowed to have sex??!! I thought the Buddha taught us to be free, not to be conditioned by his own teachings!

From my limited understanding, the Buddha did not ask us to starve or repress our desires, but to go beyond desire by observing it and seeing the futility of it. The Buddha himself enjoyed having sex during the first 29 years of his life and he got enlightened afterwards!

Regards,
Bundokji
