Quetzalcoatl, Tezatlipoca, and Celibacy

Chastity plays a role in ancient aztec thought.
According to this story Quetzalcoatl had a vow of celibacy.
Quote:
Now that He had caused chaos among the Toltec people and tormented their military commander, Tezcatlipoca set forth to trick His brother. He came to Quetzalcoatl’s palace disguised as an old man. He told the guards that He knew their ruler was sick, and that He had medicine which could cure him. The guards let Him in.
Inside Quetzalcoatl’s chambers, Tezcatlipoca produced an obsidian mirror and showed the ruler his reflection. Quetzalcoatl was immediately shocked by how old and frail he looked. Tezcatlipoca told him that He had medicine that could cure his sickness and make him look young once again. Eagerly, Quetzalcoatl drank up the potion that Tezcatlipoca gave to him. What he did not realize, however, was that the potion was actually alcoholic octli. Quetzalcoatl had never tasted alcohol, and so drank it quickly, believing it to be medicine. He became extremely inebriated and demanded that his own sister, Quetzalpetlatl, be brought into his room. As soon as she entered, Quetzalcoatl told her that she must try the fine potion that the disguised Tezcatlipoca had brought for him. As soon as she did, the drunken Feathered Serpent started to flirt with his own sister.
The next morning, Quetzalcoatl awoke next to Quetzalpetlatl, realizing not only that he had broken his vow of celibacy, but that he had slept with his own sister in doing so! He felt so shamed that he decided that he was unworthy of ruling over his people anymore.
The whole story can be seen here: http://www.amoxtli.org/cuezali/exploits.html
Quetzalcoatl was a priest and aztec priests were taught to be chaste. Aparently incest was a taboo in aztec society and so he felt ashamed by what he had done and forsaked his kingdom due to haing incestuous relations.
The hindus also see a value in keeping chaste:
Quote:
My Lord, O Aniruddha, You are the authority by which the doors of the higher planetary systems and liberation are opened. You are always within the pure heart of the living entity. Therefore I offer my obeisances unto You. You are the possessor of semen which is like gold, and thus, in the form of fire, You help the Vedic sacrifices, beginning with c?tur-hotra. Therefore I offer my obeisances unto You.

According to catholic traditional thought a person should only engage in sexual activity if that activity is for the sake of producing babies. No masturbation and no casual sex allowed. Many cultures view avoiding excess sexual activity as having benefits.

I think you conserve your personal energy when you abstain. Energy which can be channeled through other, perhaps more important, avenues.

i once heard someone say that the energy you expel during masturbation is quite a negative thing.

I close my eyes and seize it
I clench my fists and beat it
I light my torch and burn it
I am the beast I worship....
