Spirituality & Sex - III

How stupid it would be to think about the “after life,” which is uncertain and unknown and give-up the present life, at hand, following some stupid priests? It has nothing to do with your right or wrong, it is natural and the necessity of the body and soul, for every being. Nature wholeheartedly designs the human body for the propagation of the species.

In fact one can see the eternity during the climax or when one orgasms. I am sure everyone is going to forget all the anxieties, problems and stress during it. It is scientifically proven that having an orgasm relieves you of your stress and also acts as an antidote for few cardiovascular diseases; it’s also a kind of exercise. Note that the temples are places built to encourage and have sexual intercourse in the ancient India; even the Siva Linga signifies the male genital organ.

The Siddhartha of Lumbini embraced celibacy after he fathered a son, and going through all the relationships, marital bliss. He couldn’t find solace in all of them and gave them up and gave in to celibacy. The circumstances that had guided him in embracing celibacy, the reasons that made him follow a certain set of principles is more important, which may or may not exist now. So, it’s not true that each and every individual could find solace and peace by following the same principles. Don’t be pathological, he might not know the ways to enjoy and find solace except celibacy or he might have become Cypridophobic, fear of sexual intercourse. Celibacy is not a virtue for all.

Life is multidimensional. One should accept to enjoy, celebrate and rejoice in it. Celebration is the highest growth of consciousness, expression and manifestation. Some of the ancestors might not have found any enjoyment in sex and started practicing celibacy. It’s just might be the case of Siddhartha or Gowtham Budda or even Mahatma Gandhi, who practiced Brahmacharya. Gandhi even made experiments to test his celibacy, restraints etc., by sleeping naked with wives of his close followers, and even with his grand nieces.

So, don’t take it for granted, that celibacy is the way Hinduism is built. The success - howsoever temporary - of the fake swamis exposes the alarming levels of ignorance in society. Just start trusting yourself again. Once you start trusting your own being, no politician, no priest can exploit you. I prefer trusting something that has shown proof in the past rather than some random faith that promises to give me something after my body parts stop functioning.

Leonardo da Vinci puts all this from the artist’s perspective: “The art of procreation and the members employed therein is so repulsive, that if it were not for the beauty of the faces and the adornments of the actors and the pent-up impulse, Nature would lose the human species.”
