Enlightened Sexuality: Essays on Body-Positive Spirituality

From book's Preface: "Sex can be so much more than a valve for our neurotic need to feel good or be loved. * It can be joyous and illuminating * It can be a truly transformative force in our lives * It can reveal to us a depth of pleasure that outdistances the nerve spasms of conventional orgasm * It can yield a radical intimacy that penetrates the skin of our bodies as it penetrates the boundaries of our ego-personalities, until we recognize each other in the Majesty of existence itself Sensuality and enlightenent do not lie poles apart, as our inherited Victorian morality would have us believe. Sex can be a means to, and an expression of, spiritual enlightenment."
