      Our sexuality, our libido, is the yin to the yang of our social nature. We have plenty of examples of what happens when either of those sides of our nature overly dominates the other; chaos on both ends. How then do we balance ourselves to survive?

 

       We use our heads for the purpose it was made; to gather knowledge. The Eternalist not only looks but also uses EXPERIENTIAL knowledge, that is, knowledge gathered in a real, tactile way, as in having sex with others (masturbation might also be a way of gathering tactile knowledge, however it is more of a limited source, a closed curcuit, so to speak) . It is not only the tactile experience that is valuable, it is the EMPHATIC value - the sense of feeling what your partner feels, getting into her or his skin by means of imagination and,... something else. What the 'something else' is will be a subject for a future blog, at the moment our issue is natural balance.

 

       Sex is strong because it is beyond opinion. Knowledge is that which cannot be divided by an equal and opposite opinion. It is TACTILE in that when we feel it, our mental capacities are diminished temporarily in order to maximize our attention toward FEELING. It wouldn't entirely be true to say orgasms shut down all thought processes, but they obviously weaken them, temporarily. This is NOT to say SEX makes us stupid, quite the contrary, we bounced back having caught the gem we sought with greater insight and advanced perspectives. Sex is good, when balanced. Many excuses can be made for where our minds roam as we're headed towards culmination - all of them valid, I'm sure. Even and perhaps espescally with a partner we're not totally in the 'here' and 'now' until the climax, where the real knowledge is. Sex is good because it is important, and not only because it produces children. In fact, on a human-centric planet, overpopulation can deliver a death blow if it's not put in check.
