Description
Sex matters to us all. The Osho approach to sex begins with an understanding of how important love is in our lives, while at the same time acknowledges that the journey into love cannot exclude our innate biological energies. With this perspective, it becomes clear that the tendency for religions, and for society in general, to associate sex with sin and morality has been a great misfortune.Sex Matters begins by deconstructing the layers of sexual repression that the condemnation of sex has inflicted on humans. Throughout Sex Matters-in response to questions about everything from jealousy to premature ejaculation, the role of intimacy and the differences between men and women-Osho proposes a vision that embraces sex as a fundamental gift from nature. We learn how orgasm offers a glimpse of timelessness, thoughtlessness, and pure awareness -- biology's way of pointing toward the consciousness that helps us to understand ourselves.Finally, we are presented with a clear choice: a repressed sexuality that leads to pornography, perversion, and a stunted humanity or a playful, respectful, and relaxed innocence that supports us in becoming fulfilled and whole, as nature intended.
Author Biography
Osho, an inspiration to millions in the U.S. and around the world, describes a unique view of sex as a door to self-discovery.
Reviews"[Sex Matters] links sexuality to transcendence, insisting that sex is important for both physical and mental well-being." "Sex is your only energy, it is life energy." "Sex Matters rediscovers the human and rewards rather than punishes one for being in that state. It is a wondrous revelation that will give peace, confidence and courage all at the same time."
