I am totally new here.I just happened to be here by accident in fact. I am on several forums, however this turns up something exciting and I do know people here. Randomly I chose this one, about spirituality.

Man is a funny animal. He wants spirituality and also sex. How can both go together in perfect harmony. Spiritualists or some orthodoxy guys are critical of it and Osho, I do not know whether you have heard about him had a different ideas as regards sex and its relationship with sex.

Sex has been suppressed for long and indeed it has been greatly suppressed by schools of Christianity for centuries. However it is something that should not be taken apart from spirituality.

If you partner yourself with a suitable one and have a bond of love and marry her is there anything wrong if you maintain a sexual relationship. Is it a sin to commit an act of sex?

When two souls want to conjugate by a thread of love and what sins have they committed then?

I do not know in many religions sex has been devalued and suppressed. It is on the contrary a great source of energy. It vitalizes human beings.

I want raise this topic not because I love pornographic things or I chose to deal with things of sexual perversions.

There are too many issues raised about sex and people more often than not misconstrue it and as a result youngsters go astray failing to understand the hardcore of it.

Let us not confine it to a world of secrecy. People satisfy this urge of them secretly and stealthily as if it is a sin and something that needs to be confined to privacy. The fact why should it be private to anyone and why can it not be a matter of celebration is something I want to dig into.

I apologize to all if I sound perverted.

Osho is one Spiritual Master who has spoken much on this topic and try to address this issue.

Some one asked Osho - "What's the difference between Normal sex & Tantric sex ? "

http://www.messagefrommasterscom/Shiva-Shakti/Normal_Sex_&_Tantric_Sex.htm

Osho Answer to above question : "Your sex act and the tantric sex act are basically different. Your sex act is to relieve; it is just like sneezing out a good sneeze. The energy is thrown out and you are unburdened. It is destructive, it is not creative. It is good -- therapeutic. It helps you to be relaxed, but nothing more.

The tantric sex act is basically, diametrically opposite and different. It is not to relieve, it is not to throw energy out. It is to remain in the act without ejaculation, without throwing energy out; to remain in the act merged -- just at the beginning part of the act, not the end part.

This changes the quality; the complete quality is different then. Try to understand two things. There are two types of climaxes, two types of orgasm. One type of orgasm is known. You reach to a peak of excitement, then you cannot go further: the end has come.

The excitement reaches to a point where it becomes non-voluntary. The
energy jumps into you and goes out. You are relieved of it, unburdened. The load is thrown; you can relax and sleep. You are using it like a tranquilizer.

It is a natural tranquilizer: a good sleep will follow -- if your mind is not burdened by religion. Otherwise even the tranquilizer is destroyed. If your mind is not burdened by religion, only then can sex be a tranquilizing thing. If you feel guilt, even your sleep will be disturbed. You will feel depression, you will start condemning yourself and you will begin to take oaths that now you won't indulge anymore. Then your sleep will become a nightmare afterwards.

If you are a natural being not too much burdened by religion and morality, only then can sex be used as a tranquilizer. This is one type of orgasm -- coming to the peak of excitement. Tantra is centered on another type of orgasm. If we call the first kind a peak orgasm, you can call the tantric orgasm a valley orgasm.

In it you are not coming to the peak of excitement, but to the very deepest valley of relaxation. Excitement has to be used for both in the beginning. That is why I say that in the beginning both are the same, but the ends are totally different.'

HAHAHAHAHAHA! I guess one man's "celebration", is another man's "orgy"....

Umm... Seriously. The answer to this depends on whether you look to the Truth for your answer (which there is only one place to get Truth), or whether you want to write your own rulebook to satisfy the passions/perversions of the flesh...

what do you want deleting
