This idea has been floating around in my mind since a discussion some time ago in [livejournal.com profile] yahvah's journal.

For a time I actually wrote an online column about the subject of sacred sex. The idea that sex is sacred, and sacredness often has a sexual undercurrent, is natural to me.

The authors of Why God Won't Go Away believe that the mystical parts of the brain evolved hand-in-hand with the parts of the brain that make sex enjoyable.

Hey! I'm "sex positive", I just don't have much of a sex drive myself! Let's make that distinction clear shall we? :)

(just kidding, I know what you mean)

I think you may be on to something regarding the difference between certain types and styles of spiritual approach though. They do tend to range from advocating abstinence as a way of generating (or maintaining) chi, to sex as a means of experiencing union with the divine...
