The man who became known as the Buddha (Sanskrit for "awakened one") did not seek to establish a religion or a dogma: instead, he taught how the human being can take advantage of their unique place in nature to become a fully developed and completely serene force of pure love and compassion. His famous "middle path" emphasizes the balance one needs between indulgence and avoidance: the very basis of this website.  His teaching eventually became dispersed into many schools of Buddhism, and within them all are many indications of the upright, healthy use of sexuality.
