What I have said is never out-dated, because for the self realized soul....sex is distasteful and unnecessary for they are experiencing a higher taste.
Mean while those who are shackled by sex desire, (the conditioned souls) will always worship sex for there is nothing higher in their mundane lives of suffering, and they are struggling very hard to satisfy this sex desire which is available to the hogs, dogs, camels and asses.
Yes, I know the picture you are painting, but I would suggest that your portrait is one of some 20-25 years ago, at least.
Do you have any idea at the rate of change that young people are going through in this age of pc's and the subsequent influx of huge amounts of info?
I know what you mean by "What I have said is never out dated" , but , in relation to that comment, I would reinterate that to have your base chakra closed would stop any furthur evoltution and invigoration of the rest of the spiritual body. One must be open to be "sexy". To feel confident about their sexuality, to understand it (not from books 😉 ), and then to possibly come to these higher truths that you talk about.
While I am not denying that there is some truth to the way you have presented this arguement, it is old and stale and in need of some serious ispiration and imagination to recreate it for the "modern person" .
We are all shackelled to something, so some may give up their shackles of sex for maybe the shackles of a crappy job? Or perhaps the mindless repitition of a mantra that they have no idea why they are chanting in the first place? How about a shackle of living a "good life" and becoming addicted to helping those more needy than themselves? Addicted to having a happy family and a lawn that is better kept than the one next door?
Why are there 84000 sutras? Because there are 84000 follies!!
Sex is not distasteful. Not understanding the energy exchange of a sexual act is distasteful. To lead on a girl, for example, and say you love her just to get into her pants and ultimately hurt the girls feelings (knowingly) is distasteful.
