This part - to abstain from sexual misconduct and sensual overindulgence
Why is this relevant to buddhists?
Its found in this description…
"The moral code within Buddhism is the precepts, of which the main five are: not to take the life of anything living, not to take anything not freely given, to abstain from sexual misconduct and sensual overindulgence, to refrain from untrue speech, and to avoid intoxication, that is, losing mindfulness"
I just want to know why they think too much sex is bad. Religions see it as bad because the bible sort of insinuates it, but why do buddhists think its bad?
How does a buddhist define "sexual misconduct" or sexual overindulgence"?
Im not looking for the right answer, I prefer opinions, please chime in?
