Monks, Nuns and abstinence

BunksBunks Australia Veteran
Apologies if this question is a little explicit for anyone's sensibilities but does anyone know if monks / nuns are allowed to masturbate?

Just interested.

    I believe Japan and Tibet both have a buddhist school that permits it.
    The ordained of those schools are sometimes viewed as laity by more traditional schools.
  • Oh, good point. I was thinking of the Patimokkha, which only Theravada monks follow these days, as far as I know.
  • I have heard something about some orders/schools allowing their monks to 'walk in the long grass with no underwear on', I am not entirely sure what that would do though.lol

  • I read that that's explicitly forbidden in the Patimokkha.

    Japan and Tibet have schools that allow marriage, and schools that allow "spiritual marriage". (In Japan, as I understand, those are one and the same thing.) In Tibet, 'spiritual marriage' means using a consort for certain ritual purposes.

    Ok, I am back and ready to say that running commando through my neighbours prized ornamental grasses did little for me but certainly excited him..
