A well-written piece, covering all aspects.

Here I would like to point out the commentaries to the famous Gita 7.11 verse, dharmāviruddho bhūteṣu kāmo'smi bharatarṣabha. Here, 3 of our Acharyas repeat the same thing, legal sex means (matra/only) that with one's wife for the purspose of begetting children.

Śrīdhara: dharmeṇāviruddhaḥ svadāreṣu putrotpādanamātropayogī kāmo'hamiti. Viśvanātha: dharmāviruddhaḥ svabhāryāyāṃ putrotpattimātropayogī.

Baladeva: dharmāviruddhaḥ svapatnyāṃ putrotpattimātrahetuḥ.

Another, rather fascinating thing to hear, is how 'matter-of-factly' Srila Prabhupada presented this, in the famous video, to the Director of Social Services, dated May 1975. A must watch. How Prabhupada didnt deter from presenting siddhant even to a person who does not appear to be religious.

From all these information i just got points like one should know difference between desire,need and lust..either it about eating, sleeping or sex.

Marriage should be much focused on upbringing of krishna concious kids for which couple also has to set example.

Focus on self lifestyle how ,when and what is affecting our sadhna.

Hare Krishna prabhuji 🙏🏻 apologies in advance if comment wrong
