Sexuality and the Sacred
Every now and again I go looking for this, online—on blogs.
I don't know that I'm looking for religion, per se, as much as I'm looking for validation that I am not wrong (and of course satisfying prurient desires). But I am also looking for belief, conviction, or practice. I am looking for personal experience.
I have run across blogs written by folks who claim that what they do is fulfilling and part of fulfilling sacred work. In name they call themselves sacred. But the blogs are not about those things. They are about politics and sex-workers rights. Frankly, I'm so not interested in reading about that. I believe that (an it harm none) there is nothing about sexuality that should be illegal between consenting parties. In my case, they are preaching to the choir.
But where it concerns sex and the sacred, all I want to know is what it feels like to you. Are there rituals? What do you do? How did you arrive where you are? What happened in your life that tells you without a shadow of a doubt that you are on the right path?
Those are the things that convince me. That matters to me much more than reportage of events. That matters to me more than erotica. That matters to me more than litanies of the offenses of western civilization. I know these histories. Tell me what I don't know. What I can't know is your experience. That is what will bring me back.
