THEY
HAVEN'T TOLD YOU
A FEW ESSENTIAL THINGS ABOUT SEX
The
big paradox in our culture is that we have been able to land on
the moon before knowing a few simple facts of sexual anatomy. And
this says a lot about how insane our way of living and how violent
the repression of our most basic instincts is.
When
I wrote the first version of my book "Zen and The Art of Making
Love", even I didn't know anything about this essential information
on sex. It's an absurd situation. For years I have continued to
spread this knowledge through books, articles, theatrical productions
and television appearances. I am certainly not the only one involved
in this effort, but it seems that people don't believe what we say.
To
this very day a small percentage of sexologists have understood
these basic aspects of sexuality and nevertheless continue to do
a lot of people damage, giving them advice about sex without knowing
the most basic things.
Concepts such as frigidity, the clitoris, the male L-spot, and female
ejaculation seem impossible to digest. To think then that you can
practice penetration in the absence of an erection seems a completely
crazy concept. Not to mention
Tantric sexuality and the possibility of reaching ecstasy through
sexuality. The situation is still more absurd if you consider that
all this "incredible news about sex" aren't discoveries
that I or some other contemporary genius has made, but simple objective
reality that has already been well known thousands of years ago
with all primitive cultures that have cultivated a healthy curiosity
for pleasure and sexuality.
From this perspective, we can say that the Western researchers that
have demonstrated the existence of these physiological realities
are not discoverers, but rather re-discoverers, or better, they
are those who have succeeded in translating something in the objective
language of science which in more sexually healthy cultures was
commonplace reality, such as the existence of the heart beat or
the necessity to periodically urinate.
If you have the patience to read the following pages and do about
ten-minute worth of experiments, you will be able to verify by hand,
see with your eyes, better hear, that all that I am saying is pure
truth. And even you like me will get pissed off for everything that,
out of ignorance, they haven't told you. After milleniums, we are
the first in our culture to concern ourselves with pleasure again.
Certainly, a culture's level of violence and fear of love keeps
pace with the practice of war and every crime against humanity.
In the sixties, the slogan "Let's make love, not war"
was born. It was only the beginning. Perhaps war will cease to be
an interesting activity when we start seriously fucking.
