Thanat-eros.

The act of sex is equivalent to spitting the eye of fate.

It is life, defying its death sentence. It is celebration in the face of eventual loss and sorrow. It is closeness and intimacy in spite of the fear and aloofness bred into us by callousness.

This is why sex is sacred, and why it is such an important battlefield with the archons. The archons must control sex to retain their control; this is how they play ape politics with us. Archontic control of sex is the equivalent of "collaring" the entire society.

The only caveat on that I would note, is that for some celibacy appears to be an effective mystical tool. However, my stance on that is, if that is what works, then fine; but it seems to me harmful to advocate celibacy for anyone other than an anchorite or maybe a priest (depending on the order).

The issue here is that the archontic hegemony mistrusts direct mystical experience and anything that resembles it.

I have no problem with most anything if it is a self-chosen mystical path. But when something is foisted upon the young & told it is "holy" to "mortify the flesh" or be celibate until marriage that just squicks me out.

I do wonder if the huge amount of BDSM I see these days will diminish if children are raised more in love & respect & caring than they are now. I would not attempt to answer that question, but I would like to see a comparison of two cultures with very different levels of sensitivity in child rearing.

hehe -- whereas I distrust any & all groups (and persons) which (or who) distrust direct mystical experience
