Acharya Prashant explains that human beings give excessive importance to sex because they use it as a proxy for numerous unfulfilled desires. Unlike animals, who have fewer desires and no need for such cover-ups, humans often feel like failures in various domains of life and seek a sense of victory through physical intimacy. This obsession is a symptom of spiritual ignorance and a lack of genuine fulfillment. He notes that the social order, including the structure of the family, is often born out of this ignorance, making both men and women victims of a system that does not serve their higher consciousness.
