Please consider this:
"...Sexual energy cannot be neatly
separated from the rest of the energy spectrum that activates and
animates us all. ...The expression of sexual energy manifests the
deepest and most powerful urge to merge ourselves with another.
"While
most of us think of it as just physical, ... sexual conjoining involves
all three basic dimensions: matter/energy, subtle energies, and
consciousness. In the orgasmic release we open ourselves completely to
the other, but also give ourselves to the other. In its fullness, this
is the most profound recognition of our connectedness not only with the
one other, but to all others. In the momentary weakening of our own
defenses we simultaneously sense the fullness of our own power.
"That
is why western cultures and religions fear sexual energy and try to
repress it. They do not want humans to know about and realize the
extent of their own powerfulness. By keeping sexual energy boxed up it
can be redirected to violence of all kinds or to mindless work.
"People
who are sexually alive cannot not be suppressed and manipulated as
others. Being truly sexually satisfied makes possible the use of the
rest of the energy spectrum for its most visionary and creative work.
Such a use of the mind threatens the hierarchical powers of religion,
governments, corporations, and other institutions designed for control
of the masses by the few."
