By Aasheesh Jain
We live in a sexually pluralistic world and whatever our conviction, sex is here to stay. Through the realities of sex and sexual experience we can gauge a person’s inner most truth, his/her consciousness.
But how sad, despite global interaction and expansion in awareness, most people still tend to conceal bodily experience; they do not recognize wisdom of the body, which is worth loving for its grace, truth and reality.
Painters, photographers and poets view the human body with all its senses, emotions and intellect as a repository of actual pleasure, pain and ecstasy. They express it with imagination and philosophical intuition, making us conscious of our varied realities. They are not inhibited by false shame. They know human sexuality, if presented and used properly, should help us fuse the primordial male-female polarity into energy which could then make life in harmony with the original source, bring the individual and humanity closer, and promote stable sexual relations. If used unwisely it may degenerate into a diffracted and miserable world.
Sex : A metaphor
Artists do not question the cult of pleasure or the reverence for abstinence as they explore the naked physicality in all its dimensions. They do not create a work for the sake of casual stimulation. Rather, they know that sexual symbolism becomes devalued and inexpressive if it loses the wealth of its actual sexual experience and fails to illumine ones inner landscape; they seek to illuminate the realities of life through body-images.
Sex is a metaphor: the encounter of man and woman, woman and woman, man and man to express feelings, to feel valued or loved, to explore relationships, concerns, roles, to react against false ethical and cultural values, against stereotypes and prejudices, against hypocrisy and dubious social standards that enchain, and debase honest aspirations as lust or vulgarity.
Against a gnawing sense of loss of meaning and purpose in the computerized, simulation-filled emptiness of our life today, including gimmicks, imitations, romantic overtures, and even plain silliness that are often noticed, sex serves as an antidote to the fast dehumanizing existence: Its expression is a means of defying the disgusting sociopolitical world without; it’s a form of active resistance to political manipulation day in and day out.
No Narrow View
With their erotic presentation, artists and poets seek to create what is physically balanced and confident, and elevating to the senses. They know that the naked body is a pretext for a work of art and it can be made expressive of a far wider and more civilizing experience. There is, therefore, a sense of purpose in a poet or artist’s eroticism or sexuality – love of the self through exploration of the body, or naked physicality leading to love, or libidinal sublimation, or sexual union of two consenting adults.
It cannot be objectionable to express the real human needs and experiences, the physical body artistically re-formed or sex-acts re-enacted with a sense of shared delight. The sexual imagery indeed conveys a mixture of memories and sensations, a desire to perpetuate ourselves in the complex of living.
Octavio Paz writes in The Double Flame (1995) that eroticism is a social form of sexuality which is transfigured by our dreams. I see it as a means to rediscover the original magic of life just as sex is the mainspring of ones psyche and constitutes the sensory experience besides being the balance-point of various beings.
Sexpression: Indian Heritage
Many of our thousand-year old temple sculptures are an undisguised exaltation of physical desire; the sensuous friezes of the temples at Khajuraho and the figures carved on the stone walls of the Sun Temple at Konark are great works of art because their eroticism is part of the Indian philosophy; it is our cultural heritage.
The process of erotic creation, like Kama-adhyatma, pursuing sex to spiritual height, is something positive in Hindu ethos; it is an important psychological fact of life, a sort of libidinal sublimation if one also performs with an awareness of the rich and ennobling pluralistic dimensions of the Hindu culture.
Love and celebration of womanhood, as part of erotic experience through a process of exhilaration, stimulation and relaxation – swimming through the river of heavenly happiness, uniting the eye, mind and imagination, and losing ignorance – is both physical and spiritual. Orthodoxy Undesirable
But somehow, in recent years, largely due to lack of the spirit of enquiry and appreciation of the Hindu culture, tradition and values, discussion and expression of sex in public seems to have been denigrated. Authors and artists have been frequently subjected to violence of the orthodox right wing which seeks to ban honest sexual self-expression and is intolerant of recreational and non-procreative sex acts.
There was no social tension due to unsatisfied lost. Sex practice was not looked down upon just as men and women enjoyed healthy emotional relationship both within marital and larger societal contexts. The writers of the ancient Sanskrit manuals like Kamasutra, Panchasakya, Smara Pradit, Ratimanjari, Kokashastra, Ratirahasya, Ananga Ranga etc. educated men and women in the art of courtship, foreplay, actual intercourse (including various postures of union) and post-coital activities; they treated love not only as a matter of giving and receiving pleasure, but also as a means of access to the realm where human and divine meet.
Emotional lyrics of poets like Kalidasa, Bhavabhuti, Bhartrhari, Amaru, Yashovarman, Jayadeva and others reflect frank eroticism but create a transcending spiritual effect and meaning with their expression of the primordial pursuh-prakriti, or what the Chinese call Yin-Yang interplay.
God Created Sex
The Bible, like the ancient Hindu scriptures, does not decry sex. In fact celebration of physical union is God-ordained; man and woman are expected to stay together, love each other as their own flesh.
Because God created human beings as male and female, He created sex and ordained sexual union (in a socially acceptable form) to bind man and woman together, to make them dear to each other as husband and wife, to lead a healthy emotional life through love and sex, and thus ensure personal and social stability.
As I see it, it is God’s design that we enjoy life, be happy, be one flesh in coitus, and thus glorify Him in body. In the Vedas and Upanishads, too, sex is the source of happiness in equality, in oneness of man and woman, in love.
The search for love, or desire for sex, even if erotic, is essentially the aspiration for entering into another to know, to understand. It is the search for a bridge between the uncontrollable external events and the often impulsive, subjective, or internal responses.
Body as Soul
In brief, depiction of sex in art and literature has been metaphysically serious in India, just as sexual desire and fulfillment is an action of the spirit in body, leading to pleasure and harmony. The body images illuminate the realities of life; sexual metaphors in art make it possible for artists to convey what it feels like to be filled with desire, transmuting and transmitting memories of experience.
Artists visualize human body as a picture of the human soul; they celebrate it to understand the world and the self. If they glorify nudity, it is to explore the consciousness, in conflict with the muddling external chaos.
As a poet I realize humans are flesh in sensuality and there is divinity in it. The fleshly unity is the reality, the passage to experience divinity, and its expression should not be repressed through governmental interference in the name of morality and all that.
Sexual self-expression should be treated as ones fundamental right just as personal freedom of choice, sexual privacy rights, and tolerance for diversity are the hallmarks of a liberated enlightened society.

How To Make Your Regular Sexual Life "Sensual"
By Cheetu Jaisinghani
Are you facing boredom in your sex life? Then why not to try sensual hypnosis to increase your sensuality so that you can enjoy all the pleasures of sex.
Senses are the greatest gift, given by god to us. As we know, that we have mainly five senses sight, smell, hearing, taste & touch. And if, we use all of these senses during sex, then it will be erotic, sensual, and divine sex.
Sensual Hypnosis
Why most of us don't feel sensual in our regular sexual life?
Because its natural and interconnected with both male and female. Naturally for males anything repetitive becomes boring. Senses become neutral and stop stimulating.
Woman, basically she is richer of the senses than any selective male, but in response to the dry senses of her partner she absorbs the feeling of boredom and dissatisfaction, and how can a unsatisfied woman makes her man satisfied?
Here comes the need for Sensual hypnosis to express all that feelings physically which is inside your heart, the touch, the smell, your passion, obsession, fantasy, excitement, tickling, light caresses to create all the sensation in your body, mind and soul.
How It Works
It removes all the blocks in the sensual system, no matter where it's in your body, conscious mind or subconscious mind.
Sensual hypnosis commands your subconscious mind to automatically zoom into the feelings of sexual pleasure, communication and mutual satisfaction or it can be customized according to your specific circumstances as your age, sex, nationality, attitude and desires.
Magnetic Aura
Magnetic Aura is an ancient kamasutra technique. Your partner will respond automatically according to you.
Just after going deep in trance, imagine that you both are mating and feel a magnetic aura of energy is covering both of you.
This energy is alive, powerful, and vibrant, taking you to the sense of deep arousal, complete sex and satisfaction.
Now the key to transformation is to do this session just 15 min before you plan to mate, and enter with this aura in a casual and natural way.

Best Sexual Positions For Sex Out of the Bedroom
By Sacha Tarkovsky
In the Best Sexual Positions series we cover the ideal sexual positions for all circumstances and situations. In this article we discuss the best sexual position for sex out of the bedroom.
Use this information to spice up your sex life, and remember that variety is the secret weapon against complacency.
Sex Out of the Bedroom Situations – At Home
The areas of greatest advantage are the living room, where the sofa and easy chairs are; the bathroom and the kitchen.
The living room
Gives the bed replacements in the sofa and easy chairs.
The best sexual position in these cases are supported doggy style, with the woman on her knees on the sofa seat, and her hands supporting her holding on to the sofa back.
The man is standing, and easily finds a rear entry. This is a marvelous position in that it is pure sex for both partners, and the woman is getting full g-spot stimulation.
The second best position in this case is the man seated on the sofa, and the woman mounts him, facing him, or even with her back turned.
Penetration is easy and deep, and trusting is up to the woman. This is a maximum clitoral stimulation position, and usually ends up with the woman achieving a profound orgasm.
The bathroom
Presents some great possibilities, but the best is the standing rear entry. The woman will support herself against the bathroom sink, and spread her legs wide.
The man will easily find rear entry and in this case, all the thrusting is up to him. This position is a standing doggy style, and thus gives both clitoral and g-spot stimulation. This is really a pure sex position.
Sex in the kitchen
Is never as easy as it might seem. The best sexual position here is to have the woman sit or lie back on the kitchen counter (if low enough), or kitchen table.
A small pillow should be placed under her buttocks.
The man will raise the woman’s legs to her breast, and expose her genital area. The woman can assist him by giving feed back.
Then the man can begin thrusting in various ways, such as alternating short and long thrusts.
The woman is very much stimulated by this position (which the Chinese refer to as the standing horse), and the man usually can last a great amount of time also without ejaculating.
There are other great positions for sex outside the bedroom and outside the house, and these are covered in later articles in this series.
