The sex act is Gods gift to a man and a woman. In the world over the sex act focus is orgasm,but sex is more than that.

On this topic

The sex act is Gods gift to a man and a woman. This act of procreation and is sanctified by religion. The act per se has many interpretations. For example in the West the focus is on orgasm. Most Western social scientists and sex experts give a lot of advice on how to achieve orgasm. The result is that the average man or woman is obsessed with the concept of orgasm.

Most people view orgasm as the final denouement of the sex act, yet the ancient Hindu Tantra texts advocate the sex act, where in the end is not orgasm but a path to some thing greater. Here orgasm is not the goal, but just a milestone on the way. The focus as per Tantra is to achieve union with God. This may appear a far fetched theory, but a deeper study of this concept can help to understand the sex act and its relation to God as per the Tantra theory.

In tantra the goal is to prolong the sex act. The theory is that the sperms of a man have life giving power and can be the vehicle to ignite extra sensory powers popularly referred to as ESP. I also recollect that my Yogic teacher once told me in an informal chat, that the sperms if conserved can slowly go upwards to the brain via the spinal cord. These life giving sperms can then ignite ESP in the human body. The act of Sir Asana (Yogic Head stand) is the vehicle for the sperms to go up to the base of the brain.

Thus the end of a sex act need not be an orgasm. Also the aim can be to just pleasure the partners body and go on and on with the sex act. Some famous religious teachers also advocate this concept. Acharya Rajneesh also propagated this concept, which in any case had been borrowed by him from Hindu tantra thought. Western doctors who have studied this concept of Rajneesh have been appreciative of it.

In simple parlance when a couple mate, the aim should be to try and get closer to the Alma mater and not just a furious act that leads to an orgasm. In the ultimate analysis this may by itself be not all that beneficial. The ancient Hindu scriptures thus need to be looked at afresh and a man and woman would be the better of if they were not obsessed with orgasm.

Can Sex Unite Races and People * 73

In the middle of the last century a gentleman named Dr Ward made news. It appeared he lived of prostitutes and that was the crime for which he was charged. Dr. Ward committed suicide, but one statement of his that all he was trying to do was to break racial barriers through the sex act, is food for thought. Thus, he felt that copulation between black and white and white and black would break barriers and the races can integrate.

On the face of it, this looks a very plausible hypothesis because Dr. Ward has simplified a complex chemistry and reduced it to a single act. In real terms this is not possible as there is another quality of human beings that cannot be ignored and that are jealousy and racial superiority, not forgetting religion. These are the divisive forces and till they are erased this theory cannot function. The sex act is a representation of this thought process and the chance that a man or woman who considers himself or herself as belonging to a chosen race or religion will accept sex as a common denominator is well nigh impossible.

Thus the Germans during the reign of Hitler and the Moslem invaders and much later the white race have ingrained ideas of sex and race. Thus though sex is extremely desirable it cannot form a basis of unity of the races in the world. One can say that Dr Ward was wrong.
