Sacred Sex

In Sacred Sex and Tantra, the penis is called the Lingam — a Sanskrit word that means “wand” or “sword of light.” The vagina is known as the Yoni, which means “Sacred Space.” The purpose of the Lingam is to bring light into the Sacred Space — to honor, heal, and connect. ​ ​ But what are we teaching boys instead? ​ Phrases like “boys will be boys” and “locker room talk” teach them to use their penis not as a source of light, but as a weapon. ​ ​ Still think sexual assault isn't on par with murder? When a boy or man repeatedly stabs a girl or woman with his penis, it doesn't just violate her body, it shatters her from the inside. It murders the girl she once was.

Women in the Middle East are forced to wear Burkas because of the illusion they are owned by a man. They can be maimed or killed if they are unfaithful.

 

Women in certain religions, such as Orthodox Judaism, are required to cover up so they may not “tempt men”. 

 

But with sexual abuse and harassment, shouldn't we require men to learn control?

 

With rape and sexual harassment always at epidemic proportions, shouldn't we require men to learn how to wield their sexual energy in a responsible, grown up way? 

 

Men rape and violate animals. Men train dogs to fight in dog fights. They bet on animals to win money. In some places in the world, men still organize cockfighting. Although the fighting is not usually to the death, pitting these animals against one another causes significant physical and psychological damage.

 

Men rape, violate, pollute and pillage the Earth. They go into other countries and kill people for land. 

 

NOW is the time for men to learn how to redirect and transmute their sexual energy.

 

We have put up with enough violence from men; sexual and otherwise.

 

Let them perpetrate their violence upon each other, but only if they want to. Let them learn sports or martial arts. Let them dominate in boxing or karate. Let them learn to express their wildness and violence in a respectful way.

 

Let them learn sacred sex; Tantra and practices of sexual healing. Instead of using man-written religious text ordering women to have sex with them, let men learn to Intuit the invisible maze and feel for subtler energy within a woman, connecting with her sexually. 

 

It is understandable that men get angry and frustrated when their woman shuts down sexually. But instead of raping, subjugating, or requiring her to have sex by religious doctrine; telling her that God ordered her to have sex with him (just think about how ridiculous that is ... do you think a man wrote that religious text? *sarcasm*), we must teach men from the time they are little boys, to notice the subtle energies, the ebb and flow of women... Indeed of the world.

 

Teach men to express compassion with their power. Teach them from the time they are little boys that their power is beautiful, that they can ride it like a giant dragon of which they can master. 

 

Teach men from the time they are little boys that self-mastery is the highest way.

 

At an understanding age, little boys should be taught that the true measure of a man is in his ability to wield his power with benevolence. 

 

 

Teach boys that a Woman is indeed turned on by a man's power. She is turned on by an Alpha Male. But if he does not know how to handle his power he will lose her or she will shut down sexually, and he will not understand why.

 

Teach men from the time they are boys that Power and Compassion are brothers who must go everywhere together. 

 

When a man has compassion but no power, Woman will perceive him as impotent. When he has power but no compassion, Woman will perceive him as immature.

 

When man has power but no compassion, even if she is turned on to him at first, eventually she will see him as a bully and a frightened child, and she will shut down sexually or simply leave him.

 

At an understanding age, little girls should be taught that all souls come down through a woman's body. She should be taught that her Yoni is the sacred portal to the Divine. That she is the direct conduit, the link to God and therefore should be revered as such.

 

Women from the time they are little Girls should be taught when a boy says she must "put out" or he will leave her for a girl who will, then he is not grown up enough to handle the Mighty Ocean she is.

 

I want all young men to be taught from age 13 to transmute their sexual energy. I want them to learn to run their sexual energy up their "center line," through their heart chakra. They must learn how to charge their sexual power with love.

 

In some religions and belief systems, young people are taught to suppress their sexual desire. This is incorrect.

 

Suppressing sexual desire is wasteful and wrong thinking. It does not benefit the person, and it does not benefit the world. 

 

We are all born from sex. Our sexuality is the hub and the center of who we are. This is why sexual harassment and sexual assault is a Soul Injury. It stabs at the center of our being.

 

Imagine a world where boys and men did not feel safe. A world where they had to hide their bodies. Couldn’t walk home at night because of fear. Were forced to marry and have sex before they understood what that even meant. How would they respond, if they were ripped apart by a baby because they were too young in the first place to give birth? 

 

What kind of world would it be if boys and men would consider this? If only we taught everyday, every year in school how power and compassion are brothers. Maybe then, women could feel safe and free. 

 

If boys and men could imagine not feeling safe in this world, having to hide your body or not take a walk at night or being forced to marry a man when you're 12, and have sex with him and be ripped apart by a baby because you're too young and little to give birth, if only boys and men could think about this, if only we taught everyday and every year in school how power and compassion are brothers who must go everywhere together, Women could feel safe and free.

 

 

Our sexual energy is the most powerful and potent energy we humans have access to here on Earth. You could be tired, hungry, even sick with the flu. And if you become sexually activated, you'll forget and overcome all of those obstacles.

 

Boys and men can learn to manage their sexual power in a responsible, respectful way, yes… But more than that, they can learn to charge their sexual energy with love, changing the world instead of dominating, conquering and destroying.

 

We need to change the way boys are trained to talk. Sex with a woman is not a conquest.

 

I want boys to be taught from the age of thirteen that their Lingam is a Sword of Light. That they are meant to collect subtle energies from the Yoni, extract the negativity injected within from years of sorrow, subjugation and abuse at the hands of the unconscious masculine. 

 

Sex is joy, freedom, passion, and connection. We must teach men from the time they are boys that rape and sexual harassment is akin to murder. To rape or sexually harass is a soul injury, violating the innermost sacred part of a human being. It is to decimate the very center of her being.

 

Sexual harassment and assault can permanently destroy a woman's sense of safety, her identity, trust in men and trust in the world. It tears away her balance. The way our society handles sexual harassment and assault causes the woman to feel like it's her fault, that she's bad or she deserved it.

 

I want sexual abuse to be treated in the same way we treat murder.

 

When a girl is sexually harassed or assaulted, her school grades can plummet, she can turn dark and angry, she can develop the mistaken belief system that she is worthless. It is not uncommon for her to feel suicidal. 

 

Sustaining a sexual assault destroys her self-esteem. It can permanently affect a woman's ability to believe in herself, to provide for herself and her children.

 

Sexual assault and harassment skews a woman's perception. It can make her think that her only value is as a sexual object. 

 

Men using women as sexual objects, then society judging women for how they dress, is like a man setting a fire, then placing judgment on the fire for burning down the house.
