Contd..... Origion of Virginity: As I mentioned we are directly or indirectly longing for the pleasure. Out of the five sensual pleasures, the richest one is the pleasure which comes form the touch of a body to body ie sex. Religiously, we can see none of the sensual pleasures are appreciated, however, sex is highly disregarded amongst. For example: Monks and Yogis are not allowed to sing songs and listen to music -restrain of ear sense. They are not allowed to watch any means of intertainment - restrain of eye sense. They are not allowed to use any type of perfume - restain of nose sense. They should eat whatever they are given in the begging bowl - restain of nose sense. Similarly, they shouldn't be involved in any type of sexual activities - restrain of body sense. The plesures given by the first four senses are too weak compare to the pleasure given by the fifth, ie sex. This might be the reason why more importance is given to refrain from the sex. Teaching of Yogies was embraced by the householders. However, it was not possible to follow scrupulously as that of Monks, they tried to follow as much as they can. To live a life of celebacy after marriage was not practicle, so they decided to have celibacy before marriage. This might have been the beginning of the concept of virginity ie not to have sex before marriage. In Hindu/Baudha tradition, in Indian subcontinent, it is found that more importance was given to man to have celibacy than woman.They said बह्मचार्य , which was mostly followed by man. However, in Western wold, Judaic (Jews, Muslim, Christian) tradition, emphasis was given to woman then man, to have celibacy. Now some questions have arised: Why to refrain from the pleasure? Why to follow these Yogies? What these Yogies have to offer us? What are the disadvantages of sensual pleasures? Contd........
