Sexuality, according to Nazorean doctrine, is a natural and normal urge whose ultimate source is the highest heaven, (Qulasta 213). These urges are to be understood as affecting five diverse levels. All acts, including intimate ones, should be understood in regards to how they affect the Flesh (Pagra), the Instincts (Napsha), the Emotions (Ruha), the Mind (Mana), and the Spirit (Nishimta).  Sexuality, according to the Order,  can be either a positive or negative experience depending on the motivations and conditions in which it is carried out. As a Gnostic, rather than Judeo-Christian, branch of Christianity, the Order of Nazorean Essenes has a positive but careful attitude toward sexuality. The Order teaches that the wise use of the sexual urges may increase ones spirituality and closeness to Heavenly Parents and Their children here on earth, but the Order also recognizes that sexuality, when abused and misused, leads to alienation from Deity, others, and even oneself.

Sexuality is a powerful tool that should be understood and used only with the utmost care and responsibility. It is expressed most appropriately and perfectly in marriage, but other expressions are not necessarily evil and sinful if  they do not involve deceit or irresponsible behavior. Sexuality, in and of itself, is neither good nor evil. How it is used, and how it affects oneself and others is the criteria for judging its harm or helpfulness. Gnostics never condemned loving intimacy to the same extent as is found in normative Judeo-Christian traditions. The Order does, however, severely frown on expressions of sexuality that cause hurt, pain, disease, breakup of marriages, unwanted pregnancies, deceit and betrayal. There can never be any excuse for such consequences for we are ultimately responsible for how our actions affect ourselves and others.

Indiscriminate and unwise sexuality can affect the five levels of being in the following way:

• Flesh (Pagra) - In unwise sexuality the flesh experiences short lived pleasure but possibly contracts fatal or debilitating diseases in the process. Unwanted pregnancy may result leading to hardship, resort to abortions, or family or social ostracization.
• Instincts (Napsha) - In unwise sexuality the sexual appetite and desire for unwholesome sexual contact is increased, and the instincts are conditioned and habitualized to self indulgence and possibly self destructive behavior. Repulsion and unrational hatred can also result.
• Emotions (Ruha) - In unwise sexuality the emotional capacity to love and bond in an enduring and beautiful manner is short circuited, and through continual engagement in lower forms of sexuality the heart grows cold and incapable of experiencing true love and affection. Others may become simply sex objects devoid of personality. Human interaction can become predatorial and devoid of human warmth and caring.
• Mind (Mana) - In unwise sexuality the mind fails to find companionship and eventually tends to shut down and let the lower instincts take over more and more.
• Spirit (Nishimta) - In unwise sexuality the purity of the Pearl Soul is severely tainted and the gulf between the spirit and its Heavenly parents grows more and more faint. Alienation from others practicing more compassionate and caring  behavior can increase. Guilt can riddle the person and cause despair.

• Flesh (Pagra) - In wise sexuality the flesh experiences revitalizing pleasure which leads to vibrant health and possible wanted and wise  pregnancy which perpetuates ones genes and provides opportunity for service and character building through rewarding family life.
• Instincts (Napsha) - In wise sexuality the sexual appetite and desire for wholesome sexual contact is increased, and the instincts are conditioned and habitualized to positive and caring expression. The repeated expressions of desire within marital intimacy builds mutual bonds of trust and concern.
• Emotions (Ruha) - In wise sexuality the emotional capacity to love and bond in an enduring and beautiful manner is developed, and through continual engagement in loving forms of sexuality the heart grows warmer and ever more capable of experiencing true love and affection. Family unity increases and the backdrop for caring home life increases.
• Mind (Mana) - In wise sexuality the mind finds comradery and companionship which eventually transcends limitations of the flesh and lower instincts, setting the stage for a more eternal bond of love and companionship.
• Spirit (Nishimta) - In wise sexuality the purity of the Pearl Soul is enhanced and the unity and harmony between opposites grows more and more profound, and the eternal spirit moves ever closer to merger with the Living Soul that transcends all duality.

• IX. If, O Great Life, we have sinned in any way against the Living Self by dishonoring the marriage bonds between Listeners, or the Sealings between married Monastics, or if  we have weakened a holy union between any two souls or  tempted them to separation or be unfaithful to their vows, and if we have weakened the unity of any quorum, or brought disharmony to any monastery or household in any fashion - then we now, O Great Life, pray to be forgiven.
• XVIII. If, O Great Life, we have sinned in any way to keep the dark and light separate, if we have mixed with the wrong type of people, or mixed low desires with higher ideals, or if we have created a wedge between good people or weakened the solidarity of the pure  - then we now, O Great Life, pray to be forgiven.
• XXXI. If, O Great Life, we have sinned in any way against Yeshu the Sun God and Miryai the Moon Goddess, or have sought to misuse the allure of  their light to improperly seduce or captivate others, or have mismanaged the attraction between male and female in any shape or fashion - then we now, O Great Life, pray to be forgiven.
