Sex and Lust are Very Different (171)

Sex is not Lust

This post makes the point that sex is very different to lust. We always make the mistake of thinking lust and sex are the same.

Consequence

The consequence of this is to then think that sex is dirty because we see lust as dirty or wrong. But that is not so. If we make this separation we will see that sex can be managed without lust.

New Possibilities Open Up

Then many possibilities open up for us, namely the spiritual use of sex. Without making this separation the spiritual use of sex is very difficult or impossible. This separation will help us to relate correctly with sex and know what sex really is and also to gain insight into the mysteries of sex.

Conclusion

We can dissolve lust, and still use sex. We can in fact use the power of sex to dissolve lust, which is a psychological structure. We can only do this if we separate lust from sex!
