Actually that's not the reason I suggested some ascetism (in the form of abstinence from sex). The reason was that I thought it would be fun to have some symmetry in the various castes' view of the fires of Calyz. In the evening caste case it's not a question of morality and prudishness, more of a holy taboo for esoteric reasons.

This is a pretty cool idea. I may have to change my picture of Teshnos somewhat to accomodate this.
