According to Vedic culture, sex life is restricted. There are four divisions of society. The brahmacārī is strictly forbidden for sex life. The vānaprastha, they are also forbidden for sex life, and the sannyāsī, they are also forbidden for sex life. So out of four divisions, three divisions are strictly forbidden for sex life. Only the householders they can have restricted sex life with married wife simply for begetting children. That is the Vedic culture.<br /> <br /> Interviewer: Only for propagating children.<br /> <br /> Prabhupāda: That&#039;s all.<br /> <br /> Interviewer: Then there is a similarity to Catholicism. The priest is supposed to be celibate.<br /> <br /> Prabhupāda: Certainly. Anywhere there is spiritual conception, sex life is not indulged. Anywhere, either it may be Christianity or Hinduism... Sex life is materialism. That is opposite number of spiritualism. So people are trained gradually to refrain from sex life. And in the sannyāsa life he&#039;s completely trained. Therefore he&#039;s allowed to move in the society for preaching spiritual education.&lt;/span&gt;</div>
