Lust begins where "What might others think?" stops.

Why has sexual lust - and especially female lust - been suppressed and fought against for centuries, and in the truest sense of the word, even mutilated? Why do we still find it so hard today to openly admit that we want to live out our lust, to take the time for it, and perhaps even spend money on it? And at the same time, a whole shadow industry thrives on our repressed topics. When I started writing about sexuality and lust, I had the vague feeling that something terrible would happen if I went public with these topics - especially in a very personal way. The well-known Tantra massage trainer Nhanga Ch. Grunow calls this "the inquisition barrier". In the collective female memory, there is still the fear that women who live out their lust will end up on the stake. The way we are socialized, the mention of lust - or even worse: lust (a mortal sin!) - evokes associations of unbridledness, desire and greed, which in turn lead to jealousy, illness, addiction, downfall, murder and manslaughter, Sodom and Gomorrah. Let's ask ourselves what a society might look like in which the concept of "sin" did not exist at all, and where all individuals would have brought their lust out of the shadows, gotten to know it and integrated it. I could imagine that such people would radiate self-confidence, self-determination and dignity. That they would appear relaxed and nourished, and in good contact with themselves and their environment. These would be people who know what kind of sensuality and femininity or masculinity they embody: whether soft, warm groundedness, cheeky, playful wildness, powerful, determined presence - or all together. Who have learned to deal with their lust, their desire, to use it appropriately or to let it go completely freely if the situation permits. Yes, it's also about loss of control and unbridledness. They are even a prerequisite for ecstatic states. Unfortunately, in our society there are hardly any safe spaces, traditional rituals and experienced companions left to "lose one's mind", which is the literal translation of ecstasy. Lust also has something challenging, rebellious, unconventional about it.
Lust is not harmless.
Lust goes off the rails. This is one reason why it seemed and still seems so dangerous to most rulers. Lust begins where the thought "What might others think?" dies out. Where it's possible to turn off the inner critic, the externally imposed morality, to come to deep surrender. The surrender to life itself Conscious sexuality is a great playground to practice and experience these things. In the end, however, it's about the surrender to life itself. ~ Written by
mysexysalad 🌹 Your sexual energy, which religions called sin, is in truth love in motion. Love for life.
Love for yourself.
Love for all that you are. This is the fire that does not come from outside.
It has never come.
It has always been yours. Your lust is the call of your soul, the memory of your aliveness.
