Yoga and sexual life

Another mistaken belief regarding yoga is that 'Yogis' are ascetics and have to keep celibacy. There is nothing like that. Majority of our ancient 'Rishis' were married and led comfortable family life. That simply means sex is not 'untouchable' for a yogi. I have read in several magazines, young teenagers asking the Doctor,

" Sir, I am masturbating daily and I fear that my weight is losing day by day. Is the masturbation the reason for that" Masturbation is not the reason, but your belief that I am doing a wrong thing, is the problem.

Practicing yoga will relieve the youth from all irresistible, silly tendencies of mind.
