That is a grossly wrong assessment. First of all, you make this too naive by using the phrase "limits on sex", because that is not under consideration at all. The issue is of self-control, and since you seem unaware I must tell you that actions based on self-control is also part of Yoga called the Karma-Yog. And it has been suggested as one of the greatest means for uplifiting of the self.
Old saying: A man who can conquer himself, can conquer anything.
LOL. Buddy, you seem to have deep interest in 'Adhyatma'. Alright, let me try.
The things you are talking about are considered as ideal way of living life. But is that possible for everybody? No. One should always try to make progress, but it isn't possible for everyone.
So, what others do? Are they not worth living? They are. And most beautiful thing about Hindu Dharma is - it considers everybody. Naturally they have a way for such people who are only interested in day-to-day life. The lifestyle recommended for them is known as 'Gruhasth-ashram'. You wont find any rule saying "have sex only when you have to reproduce" for this class. These people are supposed help and please others of their class, as much as they can. Husband and wife are supposed to make each other happy and satisfied. That includes sexual life.
So you want to remain as "common people" and do not want to alleviate your self...well then so be it. But I must tell you that life takes you either up or down, you can't remain stuck at one place for long.
Well, depends on what you consider as important. There are examples in which saints had a regular life. When you marry, you are supposed to fulfill all your duties which come along. Only condition is - don't get stuck in there. There is nothing wrong with having regular sex life. It has nothing to do with getting near to God.
Sexual desire is considered one of the toughest desires to control, other than anger and ego. A person who cannot control these three feelings falls towards darkness, thus making his character weak.
I never supported uncontrolled sex. It should be within our bodily limits. Also, we should be faithful to partner. That's it. It does not mean "sex for reproduction only". Sex is a need of a body. Why ignore it? It's like eating. You should see what you eat and how much you eat. Same goes with sex.
Yes, that is why it is revered in the west but has no significance in Indian culture. People who are obsessed with sex are the kind of people who need Kama-Sutra.
Who told you it has no significance? Sure it has. Just your view should be healthy.
Everything is significant in life and life is significant in Hindutva. This is something to be proud of. We are followers of a religion, which covers everything under the sun, and beyond it.
