Celibacy and Chastity
women, eunuchs, fairies or beasts of the opposite sex1 or a corpse or a dead body and even homo-sexuality of extreme type. When there is a complete or an incomplete sexual intercourse with full intention of having sexual intercourse sometimes by persuading and convincing the woman, sometimes with a view that it would not lead to drastic consequences, because the other partner is either permanently or temporarily incapable of producing a child and therefore forcibly indulging in it, and getting involved in such acts out of mad passion are the examples of 'pārājika' offence, which would lead to their excommunication.

In the second category called Samghadisesa come offences milder than those of 'päräjika'; these offences pertain to what are called secondary sexual activities. Intentional or unintentional emission of semen, 3 coming in close physical contact with a woman, embracing her, holding her hand or plait of hair, praising her beauty out of lust, admiring her organs connected with sex,* addressing a woman in coarse and indecent language which stimulate sexuality,5 or persuading a woman and begging for sex relationship and convincing her by saying that sex relations with a religious person would give her religious progeny or will enable her to obtain her husband's love etc. is Samghãdisesa, in so far as it is not actually committed, but if the act is materialized it is 'parājika'. However, it is the presence of lust which makes all these acts sexual, if, for example, to explain the doctrine of Ibid., P. 36.
