We have an open mind and are receptive to various literature, media, conversations when it comes to health, nutrition, finance, academics, sports etcetera which we believe will enrich our lives and rightly so. Sex too is an equally healthy and enriching experience – physically and emotionally. Why do we then narrow the scope for sex and suppress it with various social, moral and religious inhibitions?
I used to watch an elderly couple aged around 60, going for a walk. For some reason, I felt they were sexually very happy. I don’t know what it is, may be the way they looked at each other, talked to each other, whatever it is, it was a pleasure to watch. I felt like a teenager trying to get a glimpse of his/her crush. If the essence of sex is – Release of hormones due at a physical act out of mutual craving resulting in irresistible pleasure, it need not be confined to intercourse alone. It can be as simple as a passionate look or a gentle touch out of strong desire. A happy sexual life will almost nullify any conflict of interest in a relation and will build everlasting memories – is this not an enough incentive to be passionate about and work upon.
A reply from me on twitter
Few years back, after seeing a post on Facebook, I called my Client asking why his daughter is getting married at 19 years and if he is happy about it. My frustration was how could he not convince her daughter against it. In his words – “I advised her that she might not have enough experience to be able to take a rational stand at this time. Encouraged her to explore few other men for next few years, so she would understand her sexual and emotional compatibilities. She still wanted to go ahead, and I assured her of my support, even if this fails”. I always liked him and liked him even more after this. Not acknowledging the importance of “understanding and exploring sexual compatibilities in relations” is regressive.
Nurture your innate sensibilities and celebrate sex.
