    I know the impression of Jedi is that they are basically monks, forbidden to engage in sexual activity. I had even briefly wondered, as I do, if it might be a rite of passage for male Jedi to apply the lightsaber in such a way that it ended the blue balls problem forever, turning them all into eunuchs. (yoda)What fun! Let's go hang out with the Sith! (emperor)

    But wait - didn't Yoda say that it was attachment that the Jedi feared as leading to the Dark Side? What about simple, untrammeled sex? Yes, sexual relationships can also lead to dark feelings, what with jealousy and rejection and passion being part of the game regardless of whether the participants form loving attachments. But it seems to me that sexual frustration might also lead to the Dark Side, so why wouldn't Jedi be allowed or even encouraged to seek out no-strings encounters? (lightsaber)

    Again, I realize that this is counter to the image of the Jedi as presented especially in the prequels. They are essentially presented as the equivalent of Buddhist monks or Catholic priests (and nuns). But to me it makes more sense that they were allowed free rein to satisfy their physical needs, as long as they did not form emotional attachments.

    What do you think?

    I don't usually fall for click-bait titles, but you got me!

    Yes, all Jedi are virgins or liars. Just another reason to become my Dark Apprentice.

    Give yourself to the Dark Side! Embrace your passions!

    Since it has been established that force sensitivity is hereditary, and that most force sensitive children are brought into the Jedi Order before they reach reproductive age (in TCW it is established that the jedi keep a list of every force sensitive baby in the republic, and when they reach the right age, bring them into the order), it stands to reason that if Jedi do not have sex at all, the Jedi order would have died out long before the events of the PT.

    While it is well known that the Jedi are not allowed to form relationships, the few data points that we have about the personal lives of Jedi lead me to believe that they go ahead and do it anyway more frequently that is commonly believed. For example, we obviously know that Anakin fathered offspring, and that Obi-Wan and Duchess Satine had a relationship at one point. It was clear that Ahsoka had romantic interest in Lux Bonteri, but nothing ever became of that.

    Based off the little information that is available on the topic, it is my assumption that Jedi do infact get frisky from time to time, but it is one of those things that most of them do, but nobody talks about, as they all know they really are not supposed to be partaking is such activities.

    Hm... interesting concept posed. On your first point though, I find it rather hard to imagine Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, Dooku, and the rest as eunuchs.

    Is that a lightsaber in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

    maybe before being chosen as an apprentice they do Amish. a Jedi Rumspringa if you will. a test of will to se if they really are committed. but then again at that point it may be to late. as far as being force sensitive due to genetics... Jedi sperm banks. its a great deal think about it.

    They are as celibate as the men of the Night's Watch in Game of thrones.

    That was a stupid addition to the prequels that is very obviously not part of the lore when the OT was being done.

    If anything I would think abstaining from sex would be something Masters do but is not required of Knights. And with Masters there would still be tantric-esque like sex paths if one was so inclined. And what about alien species who HAVE to spawn, or die.. or what if they were endangered? You're telling me the 'greater good' is to let the sentient race die off for an ideal? Please.

    They obviously aren't going to touch on all that in Star Wars stuff though.

    Just because the force can run in families does not mean it only runs in families. The force has a will of its own.

    Let's be honest here. Obi-Wan totally is lying when he says he wasn't involved with Duchess Satine. Sure, not a relationship, but Kenobi, man, you definitely had a one night stand with her.

    Agree completely on that. If DNA was the only factor then at least one of the parents would have probably been a Jedi, and you would have had a lot of siblings also in the order.
