Sex And Marriage

A lot of fuss is going on regarding the age of consent for sex and the age for marriage.

Discussion for deciding the minimum age of marriage is Okay.

But, I don't see the need for discussing the topic of the age of consent for having sex.

Why should we decide the age of consent to have sex at all? Sex will be there automatically when one is married or matured. Why think of sex and get deprived of other values of life?


  • The modern generation has already become more and more materialistic and sexually extra conscious. 
  • Ethical and moral values of men have decreased very much. 
  • Everywhere, we witness crimes and violence. 
  • Each person wants his own selfish enjoyment and growth at the cost of others. 
  • Nobody cares about the others. He does not even hesitate for a while in causing trouble to other people for attaining his own desired motive.


In such an environment, publicly debating and wasting time in fixing an age of consent to have sex is very irrelevant. It indirectly implies that the institutions are encouraging the public to have sex among teenagers.

Our institutions should concentrate more on other important issues of life like giving a standard education to children and through that education make them aware of our moral and ethical values of life. And, concentrate more on eradicating the social evils of life and in the upliftment of living standards of people.



  • Students must concentrate more on their studies and their health improvement. 
  • Enjoyment of sex will be there on time after one is fully matured.
  • They should not look for sex till their education is complete and get settled in their life.


Indulging in sex will distract your concentration from other goals of achievements. So, until education is completed, your priority should be your studies and in getting higher degrees and, thereafter, in getting a better career. Until then, sex should not be indulged in. Better devote extra time to improving health and in extra-curricular activities and the development of some nice hobbies. You may spend time with friends for improving these healthy habits and in building up your career.


What is alarming is matured parents debating over the age of consent for sex. Instead of taking care that younger generation does not involve in sexual indulgence, they discuss it publicly as if some most important thing of career is discussed.

We must not encourage sex before settlement in life and if it happens by mistake or spontaneously, we must guide those youngsters to be reasonable and not get flown by emotions.

So, do not waste your time in fixing the age of consent for sex.


One thing more I may want to point out is that sex should not be treated as a mere physical enjoyment.

It is more of a mental joy and peace.

When you have sex with your partner, besides the physical enjoyment, you will be experiencing a pure mental love and satisfaction with your partner. So, when enjoying it after marriage with your spouse, the bondage between both of you will become stronger (both mentally and physically) which will be more fruitful and eternal.

Stop and Think - Whither We Are Going

Nowadays, the lifestyle of most of us people has become a show buzz. It's a platform of display and exhibitionism. Full of materialistic and physical notions. We tend to measure everything materialistically in terms of money, prestige, glamour, and social status. There is No Value for age, virtue, and wisdom of the person.



All our actions are centered around one goal. How to make money and how to establish our position in society. All other values are set at rest

And, to maintain your status, you try to earn more and more money, purchase more property and assets, adapt to the latest fashion of clothes, and to the so-called modern and contemporary western culture and social habits. All this at the cost of your own culture and heritage. Our age-old culture and knowledge get dumped into a corner by such pursuers of modern culture.

.



Stop and Think


Why all this race for money, status, fashion, and glamour?

What will you get in all this pursuit? Instead of Tensions!

You will always be racing for this and that; and, don't have any time to rest or to enjoy it.

Further, the more money you earn, the more is tension in handling and managing it.

You will be scared of losing it. You Can't have good sleep and will be restless always.


The same thing happens to the pursuer of status also. 

You always indulge in competition with your companions and look at them suspiciously. 
You can't be friends with them and enjoy their company. 
You try to be aloof from them in order to maintain your status.

You will be losing happiness and satisfaction in your family and circles also.

This race for money and status or prestige in society- these are all causes of dissatisfaction, greed, anger, irritation, and whatnot.


The desire for money makes you restless. You try to work overtime and take up more jobs. It will decrease your efficiency and deteriorate your health also.

Thereby, you develop mental tensions and irritations in your family. You can not be happy and find fault with everybody.

Moreover, if you are indulging in false prestige and fashions and increasing your spending, it may result in more demand for money and increased pressure and tension on you.

Further, you are spending on the latest designs of clothes from western-cultured markets which are too much costlier than your local indigenous products.

Thereby, you are making yourself financially overburdened. For this, you want to make more money and the quest for money never stops.


What To Do?


So, better You stop Now and Think of all this unnecessary extravaganza.

Is all this hotchpotch necessary for us to survive in this world?

Is it not enough, if we have enough money, shelter, food, and clothe which are sufficient for our livelihood?

Why am I indulging in these unnecessary accumulations of wealth and property which will not come with me when I leave my body one day?

Why give up the present happiness and mental peace for the sake of that false prestige and status?

Why not keep satisfied with whatever I get that may be sufficient for myself and my family's needs.


Instead of running for false prestige and fame, you may better try to think of the great heritage of our country, its culture, its social, ethical, and spirituals values.

Why should I keep unaware of them or ignore them? Why not take pains to understand those values and benefit from them.

Instead of running behind the materialistic aspects and glamour of the foreign culture, try to give some value to our own cultural and spiritual norms.


Indulgence in materialistic life is not enough. It is only momentary and does not provide all that kind of satisfaction that you may get by understanding and by following the ethical and spiritual values of life.

We can not carry material wealth and false prestige with us to the other world after death. Only moral and spiritual values come with us at that time. Remember this Fact.

So, think of your Happiness and Peace of Mind.
