Sex

[Buttercat Apocalypse]

I noticed Erin mentioned something interesting in one of her blogs (I think? Might have been in the forum now that I think of it), about how when a couple have sex their energies mingle and you can see them carrying parts of each other's auras around afterwards.

To intuitives out there, I'd like to know, what does sex do to your vibration? I wonder about those guys that go around laying women like they could get some self esteem out of it. Are they causing themselves damage? Will they be mixing with too many different energies and possibly pick up on some negative vibrations that way? Is sex with a real connection the way to go?

My intuition... or, well I'm not sure enough of myself to say whether it is intuition or some other voice, but somehow the whole culture of having sex with strangers... for shallow fun... doesn't sit well with me. I feel like it should be more sacred than it is in modern culture. What do you think?

I pass no judgment on anyone who sleeps around from a moral point of view as I'm not into passing moral judgments on people (you live and learn, is my take on things!), but I will say that if you're using sex to bolster your self-esteem, then obviously that can hurt you on an emotional level.

Hurting yourself on an emotional level is probably not causing damage to your energy body. Instead I'd say that the fact that you're consistently hurting yourself in that way is probably a reflection or symptom of something already awry in the energy body, like a bit of damage at the heart chakra, to give the most common example (as heart chakra damage can affect your sense of worthiness.)

If that's the case, there will probably be a bigger issue underneath that energy body damage. You would need to address that bigger issue to heal the energy body damage and fix the behaviour...

My intuitive work has not really affected my experience of sex that much.

Then again, working with the spirit realm has definitely fostered my sense of oneness, so it tends to be a fairly connected experience. But I sometimes get that just from chatting to people!

Im pretty young & havent had sex yet, but It seems like sex is the one thing that is encouraged to death by our bodies & our minds. Maybe too greatly encouraged, there are 6 billion people on the planet & numerous starvation problems, along with ridiculous overpopulation, leading to extincting resources(such as crude oil) & global pollution. If you don't reproduce you also feel huge negative isolation emotional problems which you really have little control over. Which choice is selfless?

I've never reproduced, and am unlikely to ever do so, as I am in my mid-forties. I've never once regretted it, and don't feel any kind of negative isolation problems about it.

Of course, sex does not necessarily mean reproduction.

I don't see that I have any business passing judgment on anyone's sexual expression, or that I can judge how much is "too much" sleeping around. I think you have to pay attention to how it feels and honor and respect the other person/people.
