I know that women's rights in India are in many cases appalling and India's reputation in this regard is abysmal.
But in my long-term experience with India, it's a land and culture of extremes. Everything terrible that can be said about it, the other extreme is also valid, though perhaps less obvious or well-known.
So, with that caveat, I'd like to mention the Hindu tradition of Brahmacharya which is still, in some parts of India, adhered to and though Western culture and attitudes towards sex is beginning to obliterate it, I myself have encountered it time and again.
Brahmacharya is not synonymous with celibacy. Traditionally, young boys were sent to a teacher (guru) who would teach them, among other things, Yoga, meditation, self discipline, self-restraint. They'd be taught how to handle their sexual urges, not by suppressing them, but by channeling them into a higher energy through meditation. (I'm sorry if, to some of you, this all sounds like woo-woo; do still do hear me out, because it works.)
I've been told, by Indian (Hindu) men, that boys are/were traditionally taught to treat and think of all women as their sister, if she is young, or their mother, if she is older. The only women you should have sexual feelings for is your wife, your life partner. This can be inculcated.
I experience this myself a lot in India. I have dealings mostly with Indian men over there, and every one of them addresses me as Ma, or Amma, or Mother, and they all treat me with the utmost respect. My son has a youngish Indian friend (thirties) who is a bit modern and Westernised, and at first called me by my first name. But one day he said he couldn't any more, as it was disrespectful, and he wanted to call me Mataji -- the suffix -ji being a term of highest respect. And that's what he did from then on.
Generally, in spiritually inclined communities there, sexual incontinence or promiscuity is regarded as a sign of weakness in a man (or woman). It's not something you would ever boast of; it's an admission of mental deficiency. It's not a moral teaching, of sex being sinful, more a psychological one: that sex weakens you, which seems the very opposite of Western attitudes. They learn techniques of disciplining their urges, believing this gives them mental as well as physical strength. Mastering sexuality is seen as the highest achievement, and many men I've known (Western and Indian) have practiced it, some with success, some less so.
Here's a Wikipedia definition of Brahmacharya: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brahmacharya
Brahmacharya is traditionally regarded as one of the five yamas in Yoga, as declared in verse 2.30 of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras.[10] It is a form of self-restraint regarded as a virtue, and an observance recommended depending on an individual's context. For a married practitioner it means marital fidelity (not cheating on one's spouse); for a single person it means celibacy.[11][12] Sandilya Upanishad includes brahmacharya as one of ten yamas in Chapter 1, defining it as "refraining from sexual intercourse in all places and in all states in mind, speech or body".
Patanjali in verse 2.38[14] states that the virtue of brahmacharya leads to the profit of virya (वीर्य).[15] This Sanskrit word, virya, has been variously translated as virility and, by Vyasa, as strength and capacity. Vyasa explains that this virtue promotes other good qualities.
Married people are supposed to practice Brahmacharya after they have had the children they want; supposedly it is easier for women, who often naturally go off sex after they have had children, and so the wife can be of support here.
I've always wondered why, in a marriage in which the wife has gone off sex and the man hasn't, it's always considered her duty to get her libido back, instead of his to try and reduce his.
To the Western mind such a life might sound awfully boring and devoid of pleasure, but the opposite is usually the case, but I won't go into that.
