@mr_j:

The purpose of restricting thought is to make sure that sex doesn't become the centre of your life, which is exactly what's happening to you. Have you noticed than in almost every serious discussion we have here, no matter what it is, you switch from the original subject to talk about how religion/society are evil because they put restrictions on sexuality.

In my religion, there isn't a mention of sex being a vice, but it has laws and boundaries that need to be respected so that you can control your thoughts rather than having them control you.

This isn't just a religious practice, many philosophies emphasise on the need to control thoughts and emotions. It isn't about religion controlling you, it's about you controlling yourself.
