Sex can be a very spiritual thing. Sometimes sex is nothing more than just sex. Sometimes its a real expression of honest feelings and if thats the case I think sex can be spiritual. If you really like someone alot you are gonna try ur best to show them sexually if u fail or succeed. Sex can be very highly spiritual and tantra is what its called. I feel if you have sex with someone u do share energy with that person.

I don't think so. If you were to look at yourself in the mirror during this wonderful act, it is hardly spiritual. As far as the 7 year thing? Come on, your pulling my chain. I've had many "incounters" in the past seven years and never have I felt drained since breaking it off with them. I hardly think of them anymore, let alone feel a connection with them. For some of them the only connection I had was a one night stand. Barely remember their names. I am happily married now so I don't think about it anymore. Anyway do you think a female praying mantis feels a connection when shes eating the head of her mate mid-coitis. We are part of nature. I don't understand why humans try to distance themselves from that. Nothing spiritual about it. Unless you want it to be. Then it becomes a choice.

sex with someone you really love can be VERY spiritual! but i think love is a neccisary part of it; before i got married, i fucked around a lot. i fucked hookers, i picked up bar-sluts, i boned any woman who would spread her legs for me, and none of it was any more satisfying than if i would have masturbated myself. in fact, sometimes jacking off was more satisfying. but now that i have someone i truly love, and who loves me in return, it's like night and day!sex is so much better, because its no longer just about getting an orgasm, its a physical expression of intimacy, and is on a whole new level. i used to be deathly afraid of getting my partner pregnant, and all the complications that would arise from that, now, i look forward to having children with my wife, and enjoy sex much, much more.

I have never had the desire to break a connection with someone I have had sex with and never plan on doing so. I feel sorry for someone who has to elimate the past to go on with the future. I feel the same way about friendship I do not regret making a friend even the ones that have caused some hardship. Hopefully we learn from encounters and are able to give more the next time not less. If a partner decides to break all connection with me I would respect their choice but always feel some connection for myself to that person. As far as sex being spiritual I would have to say yes even when some try to say it's only sex... and nothing else... there are still emotions involved that should not be denied.

everthing is. The only differences are the degrees of conscious awareness. Sex is a thing. Thoughts are things. Bodies & minds are things. But "things" are not who WE are. Every thing is but a subconscious manifestation of "spirit". Enlightenment, as i would percieve it, would be a "conscious" awareness of "spirit". Sex is only a subconscious physical manifestation (or thing) created out of a desire to know oneself through "relating". And as we all have both feminine & masculine sides in our psyche then "truly relating" to a member of the other sex helps us in the discovery of "self" (as apposed to sex as a relationship avoidance strategy in order to anesthetise for emotional pain). And "self" is god (for want of a less loaded term) & there is no such THING as god.

Anything can be spiritual if you want it to be. Eating, Sleeping, why not sex?

AGAIN IT BOILS DOWN TO FREE WILL AND WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR IFIT IS JUST A MEETING OF GENITALS THEN IT IS LUST HOWEVER IFIT IS LOVE THEN IT IS SPIRITUAL AS GOD IS LOVE AND AS ONE OF YOU HAS PUT IT GOD IS A SPIRIT AND WE ARE ALSO SPIRITS HOUSED IN AN ORGANIC BODY AND IF YOU BELIEVE THAT YOU HAVE A MATCH OR SOLE MATE THEN THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT IT IS NOT JUST AMATING OF YOUR GENITALS BUT A MATING OF SOLES

Love can be spiritual but not sex. Sex has to do with the physical body and God is a Spirit, so sex is not spiritual.

Makes me wonder, i dont think it needs to be spiritual if you dont want it too(or the partner)! Well it becomes spiritual when you get babies out of it... i think...

Yes it is, but don't take my word for it - what's your inmost disposition? masculine or feminine?

It's better than even money that half the world are in the wrong body. Why?, because it's a case of "as above : so below"; inside, you are what you are because you've probably always been that way. On the spiritual level gender is necessarry because all interaction is sexually orientated; the ideal is a strong even blend of both, but whatever form you take depends entirely upon your predilection.

Want to know what the masculine attributes are? - there is only one, 'decisiveness': that quality which makes everyone look up to you as the father because you are in sole control of the situation. All the other attributes, courage, fortitude, creativity.... are all feminine.

Read C.G.Jung, there was a bloke who gave this subject plenty of thought.

Sex is definitely spiritual and it should embody not only two physical bodies becoming one, but two souls meshing into one entity. I believe that every sexual encounter you have, part of you is carried away by the other person and that may explain why some who are extremely promiscuous find themselves feeling empty after a while, they have given and given of their essence without any permenantcy or constant return of the circle of spirituality involved in sex.

I think that this is a question of just sex, or making love. I believe fully that there is a difference between the two. In fact, I've experienced it. Can you remember every person you've kissed in your entire lifetime? I doubt it. But I bet that one can remember every person they've had sex with, with the exception of under some intoxicating influence. And when you truly engage in sex with someone that you fully give yourself to heart and soul, it is very much so and incredibly spiritual. Two people becoming one is spiritual in itself. All around the world, in many cultures, sex is looked to as a very spiritual thing. It brings two energies into one entity, and even vreates life. What other force in this world can do that? If sex isn't spiritual, I don't know what is.

Sex as a spiritual thing? Well, depends on how someone believes and their own personal psyche. If someone is one of those guys who wants to have sex every week and at every party then no. If someone takes it from the religious stand point. That people should have sex until marriage then maybe. My belief is no, well not anymore now that people's psyche have evolved so much that we don't take into consideration those type of ideas.

Sex is spiritual because it is the binding of two souls comeing together as one

desire= itch. sex= scratch people think of sex as being dirty/sordid, and by thinking of it as spiritual/sacred act, this makes them feel better about it somehow in their own minds.

people just arent comfortable about their own desires, so they make believe they aren't doing it for the reasons they really are doing it.

same way people think going around naked is wrong (you can even get arrested for it OMG!), but i'm betting that if the bible said it was ok, a lot more people would discover they liked it (let all their true desires come to the surface).

for people who think sex is spiritual- what about animals, is sex spiritual for them too? if not (i'm betting the answer is no), why not? what is so different about the sexual act for animals?

In the Bible, it says that when you have sex, your souls search for the other's afterwards, because they are combined during sex. It is definitely VERY spiritual. In essense, everything is spiritual. Your spirit is always with you. It know what you are doing. You can harden your heart towards your spirit and develop the ability of ignooring it to an extent, but everything you do affects your spirit. If you kill someone, your spirit is haunted by this act. If you love someone, your spirit is made happy in this.

I believe with the right partner and the correct amount of trust and love, sex can be a connection. The deepest of understandings, if you will. But spiritual? I am not a spiritual person so I am not sure. However, I do think, if done properly and not casually, sex can make you feel your soul. Actually feel it.
