Hmm.
Purity.
I've never had sex.
But I wouldn't consider myself 'Pure'.
I spent so many years with a yoga organisation/sect that tried to promote purity in mind, emotions, thought, body, actions... and that really damaged me.
It cemented the .. isolation and lack of sexuality promoted by my parents - I had to stay their 'little girl'. Right into my teens and beyond.
The body is what it is, and desires are what they are. Healthy development is important. All round development. We don't want people who're so repressed [like I ended up] that their lives lack connection, meaning and relationship along with a distorted body image. We want people who respect their bodies, themselves, and their relationships with others.
