  • "Religion and Sexuality" is an Alan Watts discussion from the Myth & Religion collection (link & details below). Alan Watts believed we have been hypnotized-literally hypnotized-by social convention into feeling and sensing that we exist only inside of our skins… That we are not the original big bang, but just something out on the end of it. And therefore, everybody feels unhappy and miserable.

    “Perhaps the foremost interpreter of Eastern disciplines for the contemporary West, Alan Watts had the rare gift of ‘writing beautifully the un-writable’. Watts begins with scholarship and intellect and proceeds with art and eloquence to the frontiers of the spirit. A fascinating entry into the deepest ways of knowing.” - Los Angeles Times

      Of course you love his voice. Alan loved to think and talk. So naturally, you love his voice. His voice is simply one aspect of his actually living his philosophy. It is his authentic expression. Find yours.

    I've looked into Hinduism and Buddhism, my take on their view as far as their main topic was on inner peace and harmony within the chaos of the world and how to get there. Hinduism has the Kundalini, which to my understanding requires for you to refrain during the act to fully experience the moment of union.

    The bible doesn't say sex within the marriage arrangement is wrong or bad at all. Any scholarly writing outside of the bible on sex is merely an opinion but if you believe the bible is of value or God backed than sex within the marriage arrangement is perfectly acceptable.

      Paul clearly states that for Christians, procreative marriage is an inferior and unpreferred option to celibacy. He recommends it not as a good in itself but only as a remedy for lust.

    It's not just Western culture that's hung up on sex. Chinese and Japanese and Taiwanese culture are too. For sure. But Alan Watts tried to make all Eastern cultures sound good and free of flaws. Too biased and one sided.
