I have a weird question, an akward one for dhamma practitioners. One that I cant ask elsewhere. 

I want to renounce everything and follow a semi monastic life at home in sense restraint. 

I'm a virgin. And feel like I cannot abandon that craving without knowing what its like. It will always be on the back of mind and some regret for having renounced which can hinder practice.


Should I experience sex before renouncing? Or is this just another trick from the Mara mechanisms in my brain?

My advice: have sex before renouncing.

But, it is also possible to meditate and reach 4th jhana and then you will no longer crave sex. But, I think it is best if you experience sex first then try to renounce it in your mind.
