Was Dr Ward Correct? He Believed in Unity through Sex

Sex has been accepted as central to human thought. Freud and Jung have alluded to sex as a great motivating force. There is no doubt that when a man mates with a woman, it is an act of sublime pleasure that nothing can match. Food,  travel, and adventures are fine by themselves,  but they don't match sex in any way, which is something special. But there is a question. If sex is so sublime can it unite the human race? Can sex alone bring unity in a divisive world, if sex was free?
In this connection the case of Dr. Ward, a doctor is worth examining. Dr. Ward had also met Gandhi and was a well-known and respected figure in the top echelons of London society in the early fifties of the last century.


Dr. Ward had a tragic life and he was arrested and charged with living off earnings from prostitutes. He was tried and from the tenor and conduct of the judge, Dr. Ward concluded that he would be sentenced to a prison term. Before the day he was to be sentenced, Dr. Ward committed suicide with an overdose of sleeping pills.
The fact is the charge that Dr. Ward lived of earnings from prostitutes was simply not true. Ward lived,later it transpired believed in global unity through sex. He thus organized sex parties and black men mated with white women to the delight of onlookers. Many girls with Ward like Christine Keeper and Rice Mandy Davies became famous later on, or shall I use the word notorious?
Dr. Ward also invited the high and mighty to his parties, which sometimes took the form of orgies. General Ayub Khan and War Minister John Profumo are examples of the VIPs who attended.
Ward had seen through mirrors installed and sex was conducted for all to see and savor. He helped many poor girls, but sex was the ingredient. Dr. Ward believed that sex could unite races. It was a bizarre theory,  but he believed in it. He was of the view that once sex was free and blacks mated with white girls the racial barriers would break.
But I feel that Dr. Ward's theory is too simplistic. Sex is a metaphysical force that generates myriad emotions of love,hate, violence and much more. DR Ward never thought of these aspects. Perhaps pleasure was his main motive and for that, he cannot be faulted.
