Was Plato against casual sex or adultry . If so why . Whats the harm if its concesual.?

Whether Plato was against or for is immaterial.

Sexual ramifications and philosophical pursuits are opposite poles.Adultery and casual sex indicate one is still longing for worldly pleasures and not yet fit for taking up philosophical pursuits

If one is interested in philosophy only for discussion, he/she may indulge in any thing and continue discussion as arm chair philosophy.

If philosophy is taken up for self realization and salvation, one should develop detachment and practice spiritual discipline.

Ask any positive qualities of Plato, who is a respectable philosopher. I do not no anything about his negative side.

Pl. spare me some more time. I am searching for the word concesual in my dictionary for the last one hour. I am not getting it.

In a society that is trying to act in a civilised fashion with morals and ethical behaviour to guide it. Adultery would obviously be frowned upon. Casual sex can be too casual and result in the birth of an unwanted child. That is the danger.

no

Plato taught that the true reality was the ideal of a thing and the ideal was determined by abstract thinking about it. To understand the ideal of anything it is necessary to consider it without any emotion whatsoever but simply to logically analyze it and be personally detached from it.

Sexual encounters by their nature are frenzied, emotional behavior that is anything but a detached ideal. Plato opposed them as being essentially unreal. He deals with this in the dialogue "Phadrus." He writes that it is as if each soul drives a chariot pulled by two horses. A white one represented the highest ideal and is trying to pull the soul to the Gods. A black horse represents ****** sex and constantly pulls the soul down toward the dearth and away from the ideal reality. The successful soul must stay on the upward path.

For Plato sex must be free of emotionalism. If a man was to have sex at all he should have it with a younger man, his student, and focus only of necessary sexual relief and ignore any feelings of pleasure or caring about the other person. Sex was based on status; the older man would always penetrate the younger mean. Sex, then, was about status and submission to a higher status person.

The idea of sex between two people who love each other and desire each other and to enjoy sex was revolting to Plato.

I dont think the subject ever came up. There are rules about coveting.

Apparently it makes people lose their ability to spell and punctuate correctly.
