Only in the sense that you avoid "using" another person for sex alone. If there is no genuine mutual love or affection,..that is using. Bad karma.

If you could substitute all the sexual thoughts and acts with spiritual advancement then you will certainly get ahead in your spiritual pursuits. You must be willing to give up something very important to get something else of greater importance. It all depends on which of the two you consider is more important.

There is the matter of level of vibration to be considered. When you meditate you litterally raise your vibration. This physical plane on which we live is the lowest vibration. Our bodies are heavy. I have personally avoided sex in pursuit of maintaining a higher vibration. And it makes a huge difference. The most potent time to meditate is at night before going to sleep.
