Acharya Prashant addresses a questioner who believes that transitioning from having sex for fun to having sex for the social responsibility of procreation is a sign of maturity. He argues that it is actually far better to have sex for fun than for social obligation. Sex is a deeply intimate act that should not be driven by social norms, dictates, or the expectation of a future reward. When an action is performed for a purpose, especially a social one, it loses its innocence and becomes corrupted. He defines true cheating or infidelity as engaging with a partner based on external considerations or exploitation rather than pure love. If the mind is occupied by society during such an intimate act, the relationship is already compromised.
