      I guess I'll be that guy and point out this actually is what the word "celibate" is supposed to mean, and not having sex at all is the word "chaste"https://twitter.com/SWTweets/status/1357859074512089088 …

      the only striking thing here is the view that love is a bad emotional attachment but lust isn't especially since for the jedi, it's not about outward acts, but the inner attunement of their soul with the force

      I am pretty sure that what George means by this is getting "obsessed" with one person is always generally bad even if you try to tell them it's only a sex thing

      this answers some questions but raises more like, is monogamous love verboten but free love totally okay, under the jedi code?

      It's okay to get your rocks off if you have to but you can't let it be a big part of your life, basically

      It's like, to a lesser extent, the whole monastic relationship with food, the "simple diet" thing, how "Buddhist food" isn't "allowed" to use spices It's not the purity/contamination narrative people think it is, or at least not supposed to be

      When monks swear off eating meat it's not supposed to be because there's anything inherently bad about eating meat It's because you're not supposed to spend more time and effort and money on eating than you have to to stay alive

      So while monks are supposed to eat from the communal refectory that only serves simple porridge and vegetables it's not that eating "outside food" instantly destroys their vows, usually

          It would become a problem if a monk was hoarding money to go out to restaurants on a regular basis, or started saying "I refuse to eat oatmeal without cinnamon because I NEED it"

          i remember reading about a monastery that only allowed meat in the infirmary, since the protein might actually help a sick monk ...eventually it became customary for all the monks to have dinner in the infirmary
