    Can 2 males have relationship in Jainism

    3 months ago 44

    In Jainism, the focus is on brahmacharya (sexual restraint/celibacy) and non-attachment. A relationship between two males is not specifically discussed as a separate category in Jain scriptures, but any sexual activity or attachment-based relationship is generally not aligned with Jain vows for a Jain follower.

    For householders, Jainism allows a disciplined life with responsibility, but it still emphasizes:

    • restraint,
    • fidelity,
    • non-violence,
    • and reduction of desire and attachment.

    For ascetics, all sexual relations are completely forbidden.

    So, in simple terms:

    • As a Jain ideal: such a relationship is not encouraged if it involves sensual attachment or sexual conduct.
    • As a human relationship: Jainism respects all beings and teaches compassion, restraint, and purity of conduct.

    If you are asking from the point of view of right conduct in Jain ethics, the main principle is self-control and ahimsa, not desire-driven attachment.
