1-One of K's primary teachings involves a new definition of love. What
most of us refer to as love, K calls attachment. This is a bad thing in
his paradigm, something to be shed. So as one begins to live in the now
and all of that, observing ones self and becoming convinced that this is
indeed true, one can come to believe they no longer truely love or are
loved.

2-K also disparages marriage. Please don't ask for a quote, if I look
long enough I could find one or two but they ARE there, I've read them.
So one who is really intent on following K's teachings may learn to
discount marriage and anything meaningful.

3-K clearly has a cult following. One who is really "into" K, who views
him as a true avatar could then make the jump via the power of example
from fidelity to licentiousness. People who follow Jesus often say "what
would Jesus do" or "do as Jesus did." So one who is a cult follower of K
could say "do as K did" and since the example is that he took his best
friend and managers wife to bed and so no problem with that, then why
should a true follower not do similar things? 

I would hope K, if he were alive would have been shocked too find this
was the inspiration someone took from him, but never the less this is
what has happened.

He may also be shocked to know that someone would interpret his living in
the now concept to justify a hedonistic lifestile, but when one is
rationalizing, powerful teachings such as this are so much fodder.
