Let's Talk about Sex


I think it is time to talk about sex. Before I introduce you to my theory, I'd recomend you read an article; "The Meaning of Sex"by Marty Klein, Ph.D.

The idea is to prepare you for, what might appear to many, as a bizarre, not an ordinary theory. If truth be told, it is not a pure theory any longer. I'll write about it in the second part of an article.

"Sex has no intrinsic Meaning. Almost everyone wishes it did.

Ecstatic sexuality--that is, body-centered instead of mind-controlled--is possible only if we let go of socially-constructed, allegedly ontological boundaries of sex.

The desire to pretend that sex has meaning is understandable. It indicates a desire to be grounded, to depend on something. But developmentally, we all have to get off the floor and walk, even though it seems so terribly high up there, and the floor seems so terribly hard, and falling is so terribly scary.

As with all fears, how we respond to this one is a clear statement of where we are. Pretending we don't have this fear is immature, and it prevents us from moving forward. Acknowledging this fear is a prerequisite for constructing a mature universe.

So we need to deal with this fear by confronting it: by looking sex straight in the eye of its deep, black maw, and walking straight in--whistling a happy tune, if necessary --trusting sex and ourselves, knowing that the worst thing that can happen is merely that we'll have an experience we don't want to repeat.

Because we can't learn to walk without falling a few times. The question is, what's more important--learning how to walk, or preventing a few bumps along the way? "
