Interesting.
I believe desires should be followed in that they do not harm other people or strengthen the negative, self-defeating, disempowering aspects of ego.
But if one can view purely carnal sex in a positive and enjoyable manner only, I do not see the problem. It's not discarding the mind so much as feeling good and enjoying a very natural and positive path.
Look at the heart of celibacy. Why do you think religious figures took this path? They may or may not have had a reason for rejecting their natural impulses.
