Sexuality Quotes
Short Quotes
"In their ignorance, other priorities drive them--the needs of their weaknesses--fear of loneliness, the desire for security, the craving for financial power or social recognition. Even the need for sexual reproduction can have a dominant force on people, and bond them to those with whom they have no true purpose."

Long Quotes
"This first stage is a trial-and-error period. Many relationships will be attempted for various forms of gratification: sexual gratification, companionship, financial gain, shared political or social views and even marriage itself. Here, again and again in relationship, people will attempt to use the other person to fulfill their ambitions. And again and again, this will prove to be painful, destructive and disappointing, for the other person will be attempting to use them for a similar purpose.".....
"Here it is important to observe people to learn more about them before you become engaged with them. In terms of sexuality, this is quite important. As you learn to become more discerning and therefore wiser in your decisions, eventually you will only want to have sexual engagement with one individual with whom you can become fully united. This represents wisdom. For, in truth, this is the purpose of sex. Sex is to regenerate the race and to establish union with a true partner. Sex merely for recreation or for temporary stimulation ceases to be pleasurable and is recognized as leading to grave disappointment and even physical danger in terms of illness."

"Sexuality is very important. It is something sacred to preserve. It is where life force is exchanged in the physical world. It is an expression of vulnerability and intimacy. Do not take it lightly. Do not engage in it casually. Do not use it for personal gratification. When you engage in sexuality with another, you are engaging your physical life force. If this life force is not shared within a meaningful relationship, it will be wasted. If it is wasted, you will lose energy and vitality. Physically, you will experience a loss of power, vitality and health. Mentally, you will experience discouragement, depression, a loss of vision and your sense of direction and a loss of your sense of purpose and meaning."

"Sexuality... serves two functions: First, it serves to regenerate the race, to provide a vehicle of entry for new life here—intelligent life like yourself. Secondly, it is a means of establishing deeper union through the body; it is a physical exercise to experience union. Beyond this, sexuality loses meaning very drastically. When you join your physical electromagnetic system—your body—to another, you are transferring energy to one another.We are not speaking of orgasm.We are speaking of uniting your physical vehicles.This has a very great impact on the body and a very great impact on the emotional self.Your nature does not discriminate at this level. If you have sex with someone, your body and emotions will attempt complete union.Your body and emotions do not discriminate. It is like digesting food.
If you have this engagement with someone you are not in true relationship with, you will damage your physical system and you will disrupt yourself emotionally.You will lose energy and efficacy as a result.This depletion of your physical vehicle and disruption of your emotional nature has serious consequences if it is repeated over and over."
