Taoism, Celibacy and Western Sexual Culture

Maybe the Western culture is so obsessed with sex 'cause people

aren't actually

having sex. Yes, bodies are smacking against one another,

but is sex actually happening? I would say not, and this

is why. One, in Taoism, sexual practices are meant to bring good

health and longevity. In the West, sex seems to mainly be

mutual humping. So is it sex or some sort of weird body handshake?

Celibacy is also practiced in Taoism and is seen as a way to grow inner

power. In the West, people use celibacy as an era of

victimhood.

People are like, "Oh, my God, I've been a month without sex." Get a

grip.

If you cannot sustain in that way, you don't have power over yourself.

Number two, this is actually really sad.

Many men in the West have been circumcised.

This can create a reduction in sensation for both the man and the woman, a

trauma in the lower area of the body.

Like, okay, why are so many people addicted to corn?

Why are so many people circumcised?

And since the eggplant loses its foreskin, the body fluids don't stay as

intact during this experience. Number three, sex is powerful when

people feel secure in their bodies and healthy, that as well.

We currently have a lethargic culture that lacks the ability to move

and to eat well. When your altar, your body, doesn't feel loved

and taken care

of by you, how is sex, a language of ultimate

love, going to play out? It's not. If we're not taking care of our

own altar, our own inner being, our own body,

that language of love will be

distorted when we try to communicate it, and this is why you have so much drama for

people around sex when it's supposed to be a language of

such beauty.

When sex is built off of lies and inner denials, it

becomes a weapon that people use against one another,

and this is why I

think that people in the West aren't really having sex.

Doing some type of physical thing that looks like sex, but

I don't think they're speaking the language of love,

at least not all of them.

Some of them are, and I've met them. No, I'm just kidding.
