Regardless of Gurdjieff´s pronounced views of women and sexual activities that condemned onanism, homosexuality and prostitution - exercise of sex for pleasure alone - Gurdjieff´s own sexual relations with women confused pupils and observers alike.
To some pupils he appeared immoral, exhibiting what Samuel Johnson characterized as the morals of a turkish pasha.
Gurdjieff wielded uncanny sexual power over women.
When Jessie Orage complained to Orage about Gurdjieff´s advances, he replied that, ordinarily, he would take offense at such a man´s comportment with his wife, but he didn´t consider Gurdjieff a man.
