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.

also I think why women often feel defeated and men victorious after sex, because the woman has briefly taken on the role of time and space and been defeated, while for the man, all time and space has briefly become his kingdom.

Actually I would call any reaction to sex that does not cultivate a feeling of equality between partners, to be an impulse that favors the archontic influence that hates flesh. Thus I think that the "archons" favor this impression and promote it.

Zoology tells us that males compete for the chance to mate, and then the victorious male must persuade or coerce the waiting female. I wonder though to what extent our conditioning reads into what is going on.

Sex is not a "victory" of male over female, but people are encultured to think that way. If a woman feels defeated afterwards, she is not inclined to feel closer to the man with whom she was just intimate. She will in the future feel more guarded and less inclined to be open.

Riane Eisler had an interesting thought. What if the vagina were described culturally as a force that conquers by surrounding and overwhelming? Or as a "genetrix" that envelops and surrounds with life-giving warmth?


I literally forget what I've got sometimes

Me too. I like when that happens. :-D

I thought you were into BDSM - am I missing something? (Probably!)

Nnnn... well, yes, *I'm* like that, but Casby seems to be just the opposite. ;)

lol, I've thought of that. Still rather have a willy though.

Oh, I am! But I practice it as consentual power exchange. The very idea of "power exchange" implies that two (or more) people who begin as equal partners negotiate an exchange of power for mutual growth and pleasure.

Some might take 'defeat' to be a kind of violation; others might take it as a welcome conquest. Some feminists have described all heterosexual sex as rape; whereas I know women who love to feel 'taken' in just the right way. The key difference is that violation is an act committed without respect or compassion.

So it is not the act of ravishing itself that is the problem, but the spirit in which it is done, and the closeness or isolation it cultivates.

Hehehe. Most of the time I wish I could veer back and forth at will. It would be really nice to have a yoni, but I don't want to give up my lingam to get it.

Ah, we *were* talking about the same thing at cross purposes. That all makes sense :)

If so, I am unaware of it.
