Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 10, Verse 28

Of weapons I am the thunderbolt, of cows I am Kâmadhuk; I am the Kandarpa, the cause of offspring; of serpents I am Vâsuki.

Even desire itself is named here as real and legitimate when it's actually aimed at its proper purpose.

This doesn't dismiss physical attraction as inherently wrong, it draws a real, careful line between its intended use and its misuse. What matters is described as the direction desire is actually pointed in.
