Comic 30: Married Sex
Posted by admin on May 6th, 2011
In 1936, Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood, went to India and met with Gandhi.
The two argued about human sexuality. Margaret Sanger defended sex; it is natural, part of a spiritual calling for men and women, she said. Gandhi would hear nothing of it, describing the sexual act as a carnal, lustful act that made real love impossible. According to Gandhi, sex should be used exclusively for the purpose of procreation and at no other time.
The Mahatma was rarely affected by opposing viewpoints, but his conversation with the feisty feminist “left him in a state near nervous collapse”.
Silly Mahatma.
