INTRODUCTION

Someone has said: Sex is the biggestnothing of all time. But how many people will arrive at thisconclusion in their lifetime? On the contrary, sex is on mostpeoples mind, most of the times. Yet, it is a taboo. What anirony!

Nothing has fascinated the human mind asmuch as sex. Sex is the proverbial forbidden fruit and the tabooassociated with it ensures that, albeit covertly, it is the mostsought after source of pleasure. And at the same time, no one iscomfortable talking about it openly.

There is a kind of moral embargo in thesociety on openly talking about sex and this has created so manymisconceptions. The ignorance on what sex is really all about andthe mad pursuit of sex for getting a transitory feeling ofpleasure, has contributed to sexual perversion, promiscuity and thesexual malaise prevalent in the modern times.

It is like a dog chasing its own tail nomatter how much sex one indulges in, it never leads to a lastingsense of fulfillment, the pleasure evaporates in a moment andwithin a short while the sexual urge is backand the cyclecontinues.

Sex is not sinful and should not becensured, should not be condemned and should certainly not beforcibly suppressed. Rather, it needs to be understood thoroughly.And it is only after this in-depth understanding, one can becomeaware of the fact that sex can be utilised for much more than meremomentary pleasure.

To most people, sex is either for pleasureor for procreation. People are largely ignorant to the fact that inpursuit of momentary pleasure, one ends up losing invaluable vitalenergy and Gurumaa explains this in great detail.

Sex can be used as a stepping stone for ourspiritual evolution. Why use 1000 watts of energy merely to light atinsy winsy bulb? Why live like a pauper when you have a treasurehidden in your own backyard?

In this book, Anandmurti Gurumaa candidlytalks about all aspects of sex, holding nothing back and lucidlyclarifying in-depth; in a way, demystifying sex and revealing thebigger picture. Importantly, she reveals that dimension of sexwhich is largely unknown to most of us. This book is for one andall, for understanding sex is the beginning to understanding lifeitself.
