Hi Edgar- Hmmmmm. Sex as an aid to enlightenment. I think I've heard that somewhere before...
When I was young all the hippy boys kept telling me I was a shakti (I have the space between my two top-front teeth) and wanted to do Tantra with me. Even then I had to admit this was quite creative and much better than "Haven't I seen you someplace before?" I'm sure sex can be an aid to enlightenment - it has not been my experience. Others experience is different of course. I too am a hermit, eight years now. It's fantastic, including my sex life. Aside from all this- seriously, if I said what I really think about sex and love there would be a lot of misunderstanding and I would be stuck writing way too many posts trying to explain. I can guarantee there are people who would take it very personally and be very upset. It's not worth hurt feelings. I'm not sure I want to put that much energy into it.
