hare krishna...
yes it is,doing or thinking about such activities is secondary ,first of all u should not even speak bad words in such places is a sin, because in such holy places each and every plant and tree are the incarnations of maharishis who attained mokshalokam at lotus feet of krishna,there water flow on chanting the supreme's name(hari...hari..)and all the stones and soil ,air ,animals are all the mirror images of ultimate.. so eating meat,speaking bad words, taking alchohol,wearing slippers or shoes in the temple premises or in that holy place is a sin..........and more over we go to some holy place to reach god, try our best to be with him and think only about .. we go there to forget all our daily routine and be with him... when this is the case .. then where does the time or situation comes to have sex... sex is not life, its just a part of it... i wont say having sex is bad thing.. but see that has a right time right place and its has its own proper channel.... we are not beasts or animals , that we can have sex anyehere any time, god had given us something called six sense to us we should use that....... who does someones soul accepts to do that thing in such holy and sacred place...
krishna says play while u play... work while u work......... it means we should only those things at those situations only... everything is not granted for in life... we should behave according to the situation... we all know god is eveerywhere.. but dhams are place where god resides... that is the land peaceand truth ... even you should speak false thing in holy places.... if not he knows what to do with you
Dear devotees, PAMHO,AGTSP
Sense gratification is the basis of our presence in material world.
Hare Krsna
Hare Krsna Prabhu,
I am really apologetic for not being able to quote Prabhupada or previous Acharyas, but sex within the regulative principles is allowed within the Dham. That is Sex that is meant to conceive Krsna Concsious offsprings is allowed. There are many Dhaam vasis who procreate for the purpose of begetting new children and this is prefectly allowed as Krsna himself says in Translation of BG 7.11:
"I am the strength of the strong, devoid of passion and desire. I am sex life which is not contrary to religious principles, O lord of the Bhāratas [Arjuna]."
I hope this helps

Sin done in such Holy Places is bigger for 1000 times. If we do any sense gratification that is a sin. So doing that sin in Holy dham we increase our burden. That is why it is not recommended to commit offense in such places.
If there is inclination for sense gratification then one should immediately leave the dham. Because spirituality and material sense gratification go ill together.
It is for our safety only.
Your servant,
