If sex really has that fantastic function, wonderful. I am not sure about that, as I have no experience. On the other hand I don't like the would be tantric practitioner uses that as an excuse to satisfy their lust. Some famous monks are said to be involved in sex scandals. Maybe they are really working hard on enlightenment. Maybe just fun. I don't know. Regards, Anthony

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.
