Sacred Sex

I discovered a wonderful little book a few years ago which talks about the spiritual dimension of sexuality. Zen Sex, by Philip Sudo, explores the divine aspect of our capacity for feeling ecstasy and giving joy. For those of you who are still battling sexual guilt and shame from your religious indoctrination, sex may seem far removed from spirituality. But at its essence, sex is the origin of life.

"At its best, sex takes us back to the beginning, transcending mere fulfillment of our animal desires to reveal our inherent divinity as Creators; it becomes a spiritual endeavor, as profound as any religious rite..." Zen Sex challenges us to "put technique aside. Stop fretting over sexual frequency. Love your body. Frolic. Tease. Make love. All it takes to be a good zen lover is a giving heart, and the awareness of the life force coursing through our bodies."
