THE SEXUALITY OF MAN

SEX has become the chief pleasure-giver in this modern world. It transcends the barriers of Time---the Psychological delusion! It relieves loneliness. Although the cosmic loneliness slaughter us constantly, Sex makes us forget sufferings. The pleasure from Sex is Psychological. It resorts our consciousness to relax from lassitude. Five senses play a vital role in promoting the Sexual affairs. To do this job, they first condition or train themselves and adopt some concepts as granted and revolve in a cycle of likes and dislikes.
Primitive man copulated without any craze in his act. But we are very crazy now as regards this matter of Sex. We made it divine, extra-ordinary and confused at last by asserting vulgarisation and vagueness and we too added rigour to Sex. Our civilisation has its basis on Sex. It has been a gradual course all the time. Its chief aim has been to cultivate the species. To promote the species steadily, it is necessary to see whether there is any use in doing so. The quest has concluded with the answer that there is an ecstatic pleasure in Sex which is incomparable to any other things like eating, seeing, talking, hearing and touching considering each one separately or not all of them at a time. Sexual element comprises all the senses or sense in general and it stimulates our thoughts according to experience and thus an urge has been initiated.
Since we are civilised according to the sexual set-up, we divided men and women into various relationships. Father, mother, son, daughter, brother, sister, uncle, grandfather and grandmother, friend, stranger, neighbour, teacher and our conditioning prohibit us to ignore incestuous relationships. Men are allowed or accustomed to engage themselves by abandoning close relationships or to a girl with higher age the reason being traditional.
Every community has its own setbacks. Here in Sex also there is violation of rules. Thus there is prostitution and the rest of it. The two main categories in Sex at present practised in the world are the Eastern & the Western. The former is more modest than the latter. Western culture permits free love. Thus we see, due to the domination of materialism in the West, Man has become accustomed to lead a comfortable life mingled with free sex. People even tend to be Sexual Radicals: the Western Society explores and evolves Sex to the level of subscribing to Homosexual / Lesbian exploitations. This contradicted the Nature’s concourse and brought further the Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). AIDS---the Satan’s one more boon to mankind which has the typicality of afflicting humans only had began to spread its deadly leaps hither and thither originating from the blunderous experiments of free love and its subsequent manifestations to contaminate the world has proved the failure of free love. As regards the East, its culture is pre-planned to take this matter of Sex politely (Western Sexual Globalisation will fail due to its inherent confusions) and restrict them to be radicals. Irrespective of the Western influence in the East, the orthodox ways of the East has nurtured its people with good norms as far as the Sexual Ethics is concerned. Thus, particularly in the East we see the bondage: Father, Mother - Son, Daughter, etc. We can deduce that the divorce cases are greater in the West than in the East. In the present world scenario of the transfusion of Western & Eastern ways of Sex, let us hope that mankind will not be descended to the level of subscribing to Sexual Barbarism.
Bhagvan Rajneesh said that if one controls the sexual drive, as the time goes by, one day the sexual desire blasts like a volcano! It is true because the curiosity cannot be controlled. But we are curious to Sex because of the craziness. This craziness is due to the exploitations of films, magazines and other entertainment medias. People are trained to change their mould-ups instantaneously like scapegoats as the trend in these medias alter its conceptions from time to time.
Up to now we have discussed Sex in a common way. We now argue whether the pleasure derived as an out put of the sexual act is generalised or not. We have already seen that the sexual pleasure is due to the psychological alterations of the dual---like & dislike which stimulates the nervous system and keeps it in an induced state momentarily. Everyone has to cross this greatest hurdle in life. Most of the people never restrict their sexual behaviour, like savage beasts they think about Sex, confuse their self and live a ruthless life.
Men are by Nature’s decree very sensitive and they suffer very much during their adolescence. What is the element that attracts men towards their lasses? Is it the vacuum in their minds that crept men in the direction of women? Simply not! We are making a mockery of what Sex should be! We get an exaggerated version of beauty in Sex. No doubt, this practise is nothing but carrying out certain punishment imposed by Nature upon us. That is, giving a helping hand in the process of reproduction.
Actually the concept of beauty is a hypothesis. It is subjected to modification. Change in the sense that there is not anything beauty at all except one’s inner self but we misinterpret newness to beauty. Newly married couples are a little more excited to show & know about Sex. As it becomes a routine, slowly the newness presupposed fades away and the familiarity leaves a void in both the couple. The curious one thinks that this is due to the ugliness in the other. But Lord has His own way of tackling this situation. There will be fertilisation and offspring. Kids emerge to compensate the emptiness stated above and help the couple to reunite. Sex is a slow process. Aging reveals the inability and lack of interest in the aesthetic drive. One must have shortened the practise of Sex gradually at first and completely as the time goes by, so that he / she can concentrate upon his / her life’s work, ambition or any other sacred goal.
Marriage is an essential procedure for Sex. Even it is a way of life. Chiefly it relieves loneliness. If you have the feeling of loneliness, then marriage compensates your problem. But it puts in your hand a permanent bondage and there is not a time left out for you to concentrate on the cosmic question. It presents a routine way to lead life. Major events are programmed in that case. If you are in an unavoidable state either to accept or to refuse any creative study, you just adopt what others, the normal neighbours do. Creative studies require intensive attention & concentration. To facilitate your work, you must develop craziness in a direction along in which case there is no distraction towards sexual questions.
BRAHMACHARYA is nothing but transferring the sexual energy into creative work. Work is important only with the meaning that if we do our duty with non-distracted attention, then we will get peace of mind resulting in happiness. Since Sex is a confusion, it leads us nowhere! But work is not so and it leads us to salvation!! Sexual practises develop lust which is a corruption of thought. That is, it needs to be cared & catered to always and there is no time to carry out acts of importance. To every great soul of past, present or of anytime with a career of everlasting success, bliss and peace, we can easily observe that enough work with disciplined sexuality or honest sexual practise or earnest sexual conduct is the secret of his or her REAL GREATNESS AND REALISED GENIUS.
