My suggestion to you virgin keti is that if you have decided to refrain from sex so that some day you would find true love then you might be disappointed. kina bhane true love cannot be engineered. It is a rare event. Some say it does not even exist. There are no rules as to how and when it happens. Some say it never happens. So, timile tapasya gardaimaa Mahadev is not going to say 'tathastu'. But, if remaining a virgin boosts your self confidence in some direct or indirect way and if you think that is important then you should maintain your resolution. As for the guy who was philosophizing about pleasure and heading towards recommending a hedonistic approach I would say think deeper. Yes, there are five senses and the sixth sense or whatever-alright call it mind. Actually, bhagvad gita calls that 'man' which is 'chanchal'. Along with five senses and 'man', mind, consciousness and soul are supposed to be other means of perception. I don't know the exact distinction between these three but depending upon your level of awareness of the 'paramatma' or your progress in the realization of 'paramatma' perception through a particular mean is supposed to be dominant. For example, an animal's perception is dominated by the five senses and perhaps the 'man'. An enlightened being is said to perceive through the soul itself. So, the point is that don't get carried away by the philosophy of pleasure. Think what is important for YOU - the feeling of relegation that may remain after sex with a stranger or the momentary pleasure that you will have during the activity.
