As a philosopher, do you find that celibacy or tantric sex are effective tools in obtaining new philosophical insights?[/size]

Philosophical insights?
How?
No thesis, plus “As a philosopher” doesn’t make a post philosophical. Moved to MB.
As far as I can tell, for the purposes of spiritual energy work, it’s six of one and a half dozen of the other… whatever floats your boat, in other words.
Tantric. Celibacy gears toward thanatos or the death principle, whereas tantric gears toward the pleasure principle, given if both: tantric and celibacy practices result the same way.
The practices’ application differentiates the age group it is geared toward. Younger people may not be suitable to tantra. Also, the type of tantra matters. As I understand it, there are various kinds of tantra yoga, and it is one of the difficult ones. It should follow simpler yogas.

Are you planning on studying tantric yoga further?[/size]

Yes, if the ends justify the means.

What type of tantric yoga are you looking at?
Why do you think tantric yoga may not be suitable for younger individuals?[/size]

Weird threads.
The kind that will move toward spiritual enlightenment.
I believe younger people should be geared toward celibacy, because before spiritual practices are attepted, an understanding of the real world should be pretty well grounded.
A master once told me, that tantra can be a dangerous toga, if the principles are not well understood.
Yuounger people are too busy doing homework, to attempt it.
Celibacy for me, coz I ain’t open to being used and abused for another’s pleasure.
Bill might be a pervert and nothing more… as far as I can tell from his threads - perversion shrouded in a philosophical cloak of deceit.

[size=124]Wow…I guess perversion is in the eye of the beholder.
Sorry about your sex life…[/size]

What are you sorry for me for? I aint 
it’s a lifestyle choice, but I’m not celibate when dating, and right now I’m dating

When someone’s first response to the subject of sex is, I ain’t open to being used and abused for another’s pleasure, I kind-of think something bad had happened.
You’ve had some bad experiences. Sorry.
…and sorry if I am wrong or if you cannot face your truth…

You are supposing that people cannot make judgement calls without having to base them on a bad (or good) experience. Does what I said have to have a basis on which to have to spring forth from? and on that note… I’m sure you can gather what the answer to your premise must be…

Perhaps you need to close the generation gulf between us, and make it a generation gap
