Acharya Prashant explains that engaging in sex for fun is far more innocent and spiritual than doing so to fulfill a social obligation or responsibility. Sex is a deeply intimate act that should not be driven by social norms, dictates, or the expectation of future rewards. He argues that when sex is performed for a purpose—whether personal or social—it becomes corrupted. True intimacy requires total engagement and immersion between two partners, without the mental presence of society or external considerations. He defines the real meaning of cheating as having a relationship driven by considerations other than love, such as exploitation or social duty. Regarding procreation, Acharya Prashant asserts that children should come out of love, unplanned and uninvited, much like fruits on a tree or butterflies to a flower. He strongly critiques the idea of having children for the 'welfare of mankind,' pointing out that the planet is already overpopulated and burdened by human consumption. He suggests that if one truly desires to care for a child, they should adopt an orphan rather than adding to the population. He encourages the individual to prioritize their own spiritual welfare and understanding before attempting to benefit the world, noting that social pressure often masquerades as a sense of duty. Ultimately, he emphasizes that true welfare in the current age does not lie in reproduction but in understanding the nature of life, love, and birth.
