Answer by Suminda Sirinath S. Dharmasena for If sex is prohibited, how do we survive?

Sex is prohibited for monks and nuns

If you are not observing higher precept like 8 or 10 precepts sex is not prohibited for lay person. Lay person has only to adhere to 5 Precepts. This prohibits wrongful sexual acts, i.e., sex with someone under another's protection.

As you said sex is craving and can lead to suffering. But not very body or householder is in the stage to eradicate higher stages of craving for sensual pleasure than the dudeumentary level which might lead to misconduct. At the basic level this is what is required.

Also Vipassana Meditation can help reduce sexual urge. You can try http://dhamma.org or http://ift.tt/1MBhSqV.
