The right use of Genitals...

SB 2.6.8 (SP Prji):

* The purport can be explained only by acharyas.
* Unless a person who has control of tongue, belly and genitals, one cannot talk on this verse. Only an acharya can speak on this verse.
* One challenge that can stop us from running on the path of KC is sex desire.
* We can give a lecture on it, but next moment maya will succumb us on this desire.
* It is an insurmountable disease, the sexual pleasure. Attraction to the opposite sex, opposite body, it is full in
us.
* By the guidance of acharya's, we need to know that we are not this body. That we are spirit soul. If we understand this, then the attraction to the opposite sex will not remain.
* From all the holes of this body, excreta is coming only. Where is the question of beauty.
* My obeisances to all those vaisnavas who are engaged in preaching in downtown's of the Western community.
* This sexual activity, there is little pleasure, but once we go through it there is so much difficulty to the
spirit soul.
* And so many material encumberances after that one has to undergo.
* This desire is the root cause of our existence in this material world.
* This attraction is the knot between the body and soul. This is binding it to the material world. Only the holy
name of the Lord can cut this knot.
* As soon as the activity is done, the living entity settles into planning for the rest of the life - building a
house, money, taking nice care of children and totally lost in material life etc.
 - It starts with the sexual attraction and then chanting takes the back seat.
 - When we are lost in this material activities in this way, there is no time for devotional service
* Srila Yamunacharya is saying
 - just thinking of the opposite sex, he spits at the thought
 - this happens only when one becomes steady in Krishna Consciousness
 - acharya's are the only way
* Krishna says: If this sexual desire done according to religious principles, then it is dharma.
 - for this guidance is needed
* Mind is strongly agitated, so proper guidance is very essentially required.
 - Also, wrt husband and wife, for the husband wife can help and for the wife, husband can help
 - with respect, they can relief each other their minds and help each other to overcome this attraction
