The author Ronojoy Sen says and I quote: 
"Mahatma Gandhi called sex a serpent, a poisonous scorpion that was determined to bite him. He fought it all his life. His strange experiments with celibacy scandalised his ashram."

Mahatma Gandhi is a biographer's delight. Not only does his collected works run to nearly a hundred volumes, unlike many public figures, he is also explicit about personal physical details - even to the extent of dwelling on his bowel movements. That is perhaps why, even after so much has been written on him, new biographies continue to ferret out something that may have either gone unnoticed or at least slipped under the radar. This is particularly true of Gandhi's sexuality, which has been the subject of considerable controversy, a surefire way to ramp up book sales and, unfortunately, a provocation to the Indian state to ban any mention of it.
