I honestly don’t feel like Rachel’s post was clear at all, and perhaps that’s because Rachel herself hasn’t reached a point of complete clarity on the subject. Why would a “path of holiness” require not having sex? I don’t think it’s possible to answer that question can be answered without invoking at least some of the shame-based purity teachings Rachel so adamantly rejects. And so Rachel’s trying to get around that by invoking self control and even monasticism.
