I have a similar view, have never been one to exist on intellectual or spiritual food. Often envied those that apparently do... but also tend to have some skepticism that such a life can truly be fulfilling. Also an age thing I believe, for many people.

Well, if you miss sex from your life, maybe denying it to yourself is not the best idea? I think there are many different relationship constructs that can involve it. I did not withdraw sex from myself when I got sober, just did not engage emotionally very turbulent and taxing relationships for a while. But I never had the dilemma of viewing sex as a sin or an obsession (more that it should be done in ways that is acceptable for everyone involved and certain relationships can be obsessional for sure), so cannot comment on that part. Maybe others can.
