I hesitated to write this, actually I wrote it last night when the thread first started then deleted it..but after consideration and some sleep I think its a valid contribution to this thread, its neither talking from a moral viewpoint, nor about the sexual conditioning we receive growing up. Sex is more than a physical act, if we see it as such we are denying and cutting off various parts of ourselves, that in itself is detrimental of our well-being and experience of life. Sex involves a subtle energy exchange between both partners, it is going to effect our state of mind, our emotional body and our spiritual well-being. Each partner we interact sexually with gives us a part of them, and we give them a part of us. If this exchange is not equal, one partner can become sick spiritually, emotionally, mentally and even physically. Many people have said sex is not love, and this is true in and of itself, love is about union, joining, the dissappearing of differences, making one not two, one heart, one mind. The absence of love however in the sexual act, just introduces what I spoke about above, two people exchanging an unbalanced amount of subtle energy, which will be derrogatory to the people involved. From this standpoint, its adviseable to choose your sexaul partner wisely. This is an understanding within Tantra. To continue from a Tantric view, with your new found adventures, one benefit can be seen, the removal of inhibitions sexually, the pure utter joy of it, that ability to open yourself up and just share yourself, they are all really good things....and in this transitional phase of your self-discovery, just keep in mind.....there really is more to sex than just a physical exchange. Your exchanges are going to effect you in many ways. (Just a little bit of a different offering.) Regards slavejali
