Ever wanted to know how the divine perceives sexuality?

Good. As tantric sex is a touchy topic, part I of this tutorial offers an introduction to sexuality from a larger perspective than what is known in our current societies and models.

Spiritual sexuality is the merging of two souls in an act of pure Love. Those moments when "it's just so much better when it is the one you love"? Those are the times when we bypass what we assume is a rich sexuality to reach the divine, through the other - and completely embrace it.

According to the Dalai Lama : "Sexual intercourse can be used in the spiritual path because it causes a strong focusing on consciousness if the practitioner has firm compassion and wisdom. Its purpose is to manifest and prolong deeper levels of mind, in order to put their power to use in strengthening the realization of  [enlightenment] Otherwise, mere intercourse has nothing to do with spiritual cultivation. When a person has achieved a high level of practice in motivation and wisdom, then even the joining of the two sex organs or so-called intercourse, does not detract from the maintenance of that person’s pure behavior."

With this in mind, all the rules we currently apply do change.

The divine does not condone or condemn monogamy. It is a choice.

But, the least productive one in terms of creating life forms. Less babies, less lives spawned, less benefit to the whole of creation. It's okay, karmically fine. But it is only a choice in the realm of unconditional Love.

The divine favors polyamory

To them, jealousy is ego - an illusion rooted in the fear of losing our partner's feelings, mostly. Or of losing social proof when condemned by our "tribe" as a partner worthy of being cheated on. An illusion which treats pair bonding as a commodity. We sign marriage contracts as if we were buying an automobile - when instead we should get together to set each other free, which is the true nature of Love. We should appreciate the other person's inherent value as a free, independent, and evolving individual, while being able to mutually enjoy and benefit from a loving relationship. We should support their happiness before ours - not at the cost of our own, but regardless of anything besides the loved one's happiness.

In a world where everything is at the service of light - all Love all, and Love flows freely; form doesn't matter, and life and the giving of life are the most important acts for everybody. Polyamory, then, becomes a natural expression of unconditional Love.

It never should make one feel entitled to lie to women - yet offering them a choice, telling them upfront "I am polyamorous" results in most of them favoring shared time with a good and supportive man, rather than more time with a protector who is less concerned about their well-being.

Genetically, we are not hardwired for how we live romance. We are socially rewired to do it this way because in our current models, we usually need to have two parents in order to properly raise one kid over a long period of time.

Again, in an ideal world, all adults would be able and willing to protect all children - eliminating the social need for a pair bond while ensuring the well-being of all. And leaving only choices and possibilities without judgement.

Tantric sex will, however, enhance and deepen any type of relationship, whether monogamous or open. It is also known to bring peace, harmony, and abundance to any household it is practiced in on a regular basis.
