SEX

While it remains that I have written many things this one, because of the title stands to be probably the most read. That is neither a bad nor a good thing, it is simply a fact of life that the word sex and sex itself has the most in common with all of us, and us with it and with each-other through it. Time and time again we are reminded that perhaps the largest employer of women throughout the world is the sex industry, which, like it or not provides a living for many families and in some cases even helps them out of poverty, just like in other cases it buries with drug abuse, violence and ill health.

We spend so much time fighting the sex industry and the innate desire for sex in all creatures that we have never taken a genuine look at the matter of sex. Sex researches will disagree, they will point to countless studies that have been done on the topic, either by perverts or well meaning scientists. There might indeed be a positive value in academically understanding the properties of sex but I sincerely doubt it; coming out with statistics that teenagers are having more sex, or finding out that XY percentage of the population is gay hasn’t any socially significant relevancy. The study of sexual behavior only serves to promulgate the belief that there is something wrong with it, or to indicate that a portion of the population suffers from aberrant behavior.

Let us face the reality, the facts are that teenagers, specially in advanced civilizations, are probably having less sex today that ever in the history of humankind. This is because before the 17 century there was no self indulgent embargo on feelings. It was in the seventeenth century which seems to commence the official embargo of all human sentiment and mark the beginning of the inquisition of rational against feelings and unknowns; but that horrible century, which must and will be condemned in some future histories, that seventeenth century marks the most official denial of sex, for it was by the seventeenth century that religion was officially dethroned wholly by the rigors of secular thought; the idea that a church and a state did not have to share power had been fully absorbed by then, the concept of logic as being more important than faith had fully planted itself in the human psyche; after the 17 century it wasn’t a question of weather secular values could control the planet it was a constitutional mandate that no monarch, no person, no belief could dominate the earth but that all things must first be studied in order to say what we know of them, that we must dissect everything so as to void ourselves of all doubt and myth, that a turtle could certainly not be the pivoting point for an earth circling itself; that was proven beyond all doubt by the seventeenth century. And more, for it goes on, and prepare yourselves my darlings for this is going to be a long paragraph, it was in the seventeenth century that it was decided at last that there was no going back before the magna carta, that the doings seeded by the magna carta would hold, that power and decision making could be diluted so that no concentration of power could ever again be held by one subjective monarch; Napoleon becomes immediately the personification of this collapse of center, at once emperor at once the last possible idea of emperor; torrents of immensity collapsed, and the common man now had a chance at being a noble through the edification of his being by following the processes of organization. Ladies and gentleman this was the fatal century, this was the century where we would realize that by controlling sexual urges we could designate the inherent human sensual energy for industrial use. A sexually repressed people will become organized, clean and productive! Thank you seventeenth century! But it did not stop there did it? because the climax of the seventeenth century which may well rhyme for good reason well with the enlightenment, the climax of this beast was in turning the religious dogma against sex without reproductive purpose into a secular dogma where one could have sex for fun and not beget the earth its children; here enjoyment became the paramount reason for sex as reason could not accept any other conclusion for sex, people have sex for fun, you can have sex with anyone, casual sex was born in the seventeenth century! And from there it wasn’t difficult at all to secularize the intimacy of sex, because once you can have sex with any one or any thing, and society permits it, then you have the ability to rape yourself, and that my friend is a requirement in order to create a self that is constantly repairing itself. You see before the seventeenth century the world, tyrants, religion, gods, monarchs, barbarians abused the individual but after the seventeenth century the enlightened individual could abuse the self with complete impunity, and he or she could do this only because they were granted the authority to have secular sex, sex without intimacy, sex without feeling, sex for sex sakes; and thus is born the new puritan, a puritan that is willing to live completely outside of emotion, the new puritan where it is not religion that forms the alienation from the world, it is the self that alienates it-self from the world; no longer an external force, the seventeenth century finally manages to compact the world into one workable microcosm, a self sustainable individual that can judge itself and act as a policing-judge against others. No longer do we need monarchs, priests and gods to judges us and punish us, we can judge ourselves and thus is born the autonomous and lonely unit that we call modern civilized individuality!

Why is it so important that we become aware of this, because the cold blooded reality is that we have frozen ourselves in some static high-minded act which in itself becomes a puritanical bent to control ourselves, our senses and our lives to every minute detail. The modern individual is nothing more than a self contained unit of control systems which constantly monitor the reference points of science and state so as to correct their actions! No longer do they need the grand inquisitor, the new self correcting puritan doesn’t even need a puritan ideology, that is to say, they will voluntarily sterilize themselves. And this is only possible because secular lovemaking has no feeling, it is simply a circus act, a pure raw performance, in that world even a pill can give you sex.

Now of course that sex itself doesn’t just vanish simply because it is suppressed through a process of depersonalization, making sex secular doesn’t mean that it now becomes something that we can control, it merely means that we have the capability to funnel it, the less sexual the individual the more productive. The less sexual the individual the less sensual the connection to his fellow beings and this more isolate being becomes more loyal, pliable and amenable to social and systematic structures. This is why societies like Japan, Germany, England and America are so productive, they have managed to take sexual energy and turn it into productivity. The formulae is simple enough, a sexually frustrated individual has a tendency to want to be clean and to do work, the greater the restrictions on sexual wanton the more likely that the society will produce, but also the more likely that the society will suffer perversions. Societies that secularize sex eventually suffer greater degrees of sadistic and masochistic behaviors so as to compensate for their lack of intimacy. When an individual is sterilized of sensuality there is nothing left but to hurt or be hurt so as to feel.

The supremacy of the secularization of intimacy has other perverse side effects, it will turn the very productive societies that embody it into the most aggressive societies in the world, and as a result, in order to avoid internalized violence they will export it. They will externalize their violence in order to save their compatriots, the nationalistic embargo on intimacy forces the energies to turn into action, and that action mandates a destruction of the lack of intimacy, but sense the lack of intimacy is internal and the self repairing secularized citizen is taught not to self destruct, it has to externalize the feelings that tell it to destroy and so this automaton will go forward to rationalize the maniacal agglomeration of weapons so as to have the greatest amount of punch power, so as to be invincible. Repression creates a need for invincibility, a need for power is always the desired result of lack of intimacy! The most sexually repressed nations will always have the greatest amount of weapons and an endemic anxiety to make an impossible enemy so as to use them.

We are then now faced with a world that wants to avoid the topic of sex, everything about sex is a scandal, which is why even as the sex industry is one of the largest in the world and one of the most economically successful stories of all time, it doesn’t make the news in any other guise than a negative. It is the affair, the perverted politician, the gays, the whores, the porn stars, the libertines that make the headline news. This is because sex has to be kept mentally as some kind of perversion, it is only when viewed as a perversion that the individual can castigate him or her self for wanting it, for desiring it, “I must be a pervert if I want to have sex every day,” “I must be a pervert if I desire same sex partners,” and this self imposed inquisition will assured failed satisfaction and the most plausible outlet for it is cleanliness and work effort, desire energies are thus turned into work energies; the fruitless become fruitful.

The less aggressive the society the less inhibited. You don’t have to go to far to observe this reality, the societies that have the most children at a younger age will be the most sexually liberal; this is because they are inadvertly displaying a lack of trained restraint. They will be having sex with siblings, with cousins, with the babysitter, with their uncle, with every next door neighbor and so on, that shows that there is lack of an internalize taboo against sex, and so the flimsy mandate for the taboo is external, say for instance the church in the case of Latin American; and because the church is an external force it does not have the impact that the very same taboo would have on first world nations that have managed to secularize sex and turn the individual into a self correcting grand inquisitor.

In catholic Latin America it is the catholic church that is telling the people not to have sex for other than reproductive purposes, and not to consummate the relationship until after they are married by god and church. Yet Latin America societies have very relaxed morals and their peoples are so easily overtaken by the urge to have sex that they have it when they want it without much psychological maneuvering; and hence any scientific study of those countries should show a very low perversity ratio as compared to highly developed nations.

Homosexuals and transvestites are very common in Latin American societies, however these are repressed, heterosexual sex is held in high steam but homosexuals and transvestites are not as accepted, and so the repression of these should equally show that there is a greater perversion within each practice. However even in this realm, the third world catholic societies, due to a lack of systematic structures, are mostly silent on the matter, that is there is a silent approbation of the matter, a reluctant tolerance, they know it happens, and so the relationship that a bisexual husband has with some male partner is accepted through inaction. Unlike in more advanced countries, such as America, where it is supposed that homosexuality has gained greater acceptance, yet even the homosexuals themselves have an outing program to force gays who don’t want to become public figures, to be exposed as part of the freak show that gay parading has become. This is caused by the highly systematized individual conscience which has to turn any aspect of its personal life into a political statement.

But as sexuality is not an element that can be controlled by secular or religious organizations, or even as done in first world nations through secular puritanical-individuality or/and the medical establishment, then we must speculate what is the actual intent of sex. Is sex really only for reproduction and for immediate carnal pleasure as the majority would have us think?

The answer is of course no, that sex leads to reproduction is interesting and we re not going to dispute that that is one of its primary purposes; as well that sex satisfies should not be overlooked, a good orgasm has no attractions, that I can imagine, that can beat it; but the question lurks what is sex for?

As it is so often the case with other things I do have the answer for this one, and I am sure that that will be used against me; but I cant help myself for I am not self regulating as are others which must wait for expert professional conclusions or facts to reach them before they can know anything. Self correcting secular beings can be identified because they will only reprogram themselves after they have studied expert and professional advice as given to them through systematically approved channels.

In order to answer the question we must go back to first principles, one must assume that sex is part of a first principle because it is one of the primary activities of all creatures, you have it in common with everything that reproduces on this planet or in any other planet, it is safe to assume that sentient beings have sex in common, if you don’t have some form of sex, you are probably not a sentient being. So we have already made our first primal connection, sex and sentient are inextricably related. This is due to the interesting fact that in order to have sex or to act out the sperm egg dance ahoy you have to have a sentient connection, you can not interact with something that doesn’t place an emotional burden on your existence, at least at the sexual level. Still I should point out that asexual reproduction is both the most popular form of reproduction and the most abundant species in the universe do in fact reproduce asexually. But since our discussion is about sex then that doesn’t matter to us; though I should further state that asexual reproduction is equally within sentient being.

Everything sentient being in the universe is made up a sentient energy that I call an ergio, it is a miniscule but complete sentient energy, this energy is what allows us to sense one another and it is the energy which seeks to replicate itself throughout the universe against all other possible conceptions of energy, which arise from the nothingness to represent themselves in our universe. Sentient beings embody sentient energies-ergios and these all form a singular universe within the known universe.

It doesn’t matter what type of species you are, dolphins, whales and monkeys are sentient beings, your inability to feel them as such is simply a limitation that you have imposed upon yourself through reasoning, as reasoning tells you that you are one bright human being that you posses unique intelligence, etc. Rational is what separates you from the mud that you came from, rational isolates and so you can not feel the emotions a whale possesses but regardless a whale is a sentient being, and so are aliens living in other planets and all of them with all of us share one thing in common, ergio energies. These ergio energies seek each other at some level, specially when they are separated by distance or by ideas, if you use logic then you have distanced yourself from your emotions, even as logic is a result of those emotions. The space program is largely the construct of logical applications being used to seek out other forms of sentient life in the universe.

Our quest to seek other forms of life causes us to reproduce beyond the sustainable possibility of our earth environment, we subconsciously know that we have to reproduce and reproduce our sentient energy so as to reach out to the other sentient ergio energies in the universe. First principles tell us that there is no division between sentient beings other than that which is artificial or socially or physically contrived; irremediably there is a consciousness and a subconsciousness that unites us all as one, but we are not able to perceive this throughout all the dimensional aspects of its manifestations.

However since there are things like the akashic record which sustain and commune all the events and histories and memories of sentient beings, then these things equally seek to reunite us as a way to eliminate the vast coldness of all the disparate things that have apparently nothing in common with us. The true measure of our communality is in feelings and shared experience; what you feel for your cat or dog, what you feel for your children, for your soul mate, etc is constricted with what all of them feel for you. Such is the communion between sameness. These things construct and align and realign themselves throughout the universe even as we are not physically in touch with them, they are in touch with us through same essence habitations. The fact that civilized human beings have not realized that they are the same person as the aborigines is because they don’t comprehend action at distance, they don’t comprehend the embodiment of the concept of humanity. Any person that can murder another human being has isolated the concept of humanity, as one singular entity; in a sense when you stop having sexual relationships with the world you gain the ability to destroy it. This is because sexuality and sensuality are inextricably intertwined, which is why when you endorse the secularization and monogamy of sex there are only perverse results from it.

First principles then indicate a native connection that is shared by all sentient beings, all sentient beings, when the connection becomes extenuated through interference from local, global or cosmic forces seek to repatriate it through whatever means. We are seeking the unification of all sentient life forms in the universe. Sex is a means by which we generate and propagate sentient beings, but it is also a way to heightened our awareness of other sentient beings, and this is the truly why sex! Sex heightens our awareness of those that we touch through those that we touch.

Take the seemingly simple act of paying for sex with a prostitute. First the only way to generate money is through labor, like it or not money is the production of our sweat and toil and as such when we pay a prostitute for sex it is not just money, money is just a representation of a connection that we have to the rest of the world and that is being handed to the prostitute as a form of payment. The very word prostitute has in itself an ugly sounding tone and the harshness is defined to separate us from her, even as the payment unites us. After the transaction, notice the element of a transaction which is recognized, and which occurs the world over probably more times than married couples have sex, we enter into the world of what is presumed sex without a burden. But you need to look deeper than that, there is no such thing as sex without an emotional burden, as the very connotation of the act of sex is to unburden yourself through an interaction.

What is really happening is more fascinating, every prostitute is uniting humanity, is voiding out the civilized isolation of humanity, the prostitute is a vessel by which all the individuals that cannot touch may touch and feel one another, and transfer their ergio energies throughout each other. It is touching at a distance, it is sensuality removed through a third person, the urge for connectivity is such that it will not be voided through social straightjackets, the urge to unite and to feel one another is embodied in the prostitute, she serves humanity by becoming a vessel which all can touch, and through her, every man that touches her touches every other man that touched her, and equally touches every wife and lover that those men and their wives have touched.

Prostitutes are an affordable extension of the Harem, and in the same way so are extramarital affairs or cheating in general; this is all a reflection of our search to touch all the untouchables, made so by the narrow measuring eye of morality. We have Harems and Polygamy through these various means, and the means betray a profounder cause, the need to feel.

The prostitute is and has been throughout time the first and foremost social worker, acting out of her urge to sense the despondent nature of feelings, accepting the void which her vessel becomes by allowing men and women to congregate through her.

This is so. And it is so because when you conjugate with another, you leave a portion of yourself in them, and that portion of yourself travels with them wherever they go and leaves a portion of itself with whomever they touch; your sense of being is made greater by the greater amount of those that you’ve touched, either through sex or through kind acts or through business transactions. A politician and a movie star have all the energies of all the people that think of them, stare at them, all those ergio energies are at their disposal and accumulate within them, and give them more energy to go on, to be more to symbolize us, to represent us all, that which gets our attention gets more energy to go on, in part as part of us, and in part as part of it self.

Seeing in this light the propagation of our urge to become whole again, encourages us to violate moral imperatives with promiscuous want! Sex and even its vice prostitution, is how we sensually reach out and touch one another and the others within them, in a world that denies us that right.
