THE HARMONIOUS COUPLE – SEXUAL HARMONY (ESSENCE OF GOOD SEXUALITY)


To be in sexual harmony is to affirm life and negate death. This is the essence of good sexuality, and it takes us back to the dual concept that I introduced at the beginning of this book: Eros and Thanatos. Each time a couple can break through the resistances to effective bonding, they have scored a victory over death. The act itself is a victory, for it affirms their own vitality, arouses their emotions, senses, and intellect, and clears up perceptual confusions. When we are having loving sex, life suddenly takes on a more optimistic meaning and we become more loving and accepting of ourselves and of humanity in general. Our characterological rigidity (a kind of death itself) recedes: We are less obsessive, less impulsive, less hysterical, less critical, less demanding, less opinionated, less argumentative, and generally less intolerant, even—and this is most important—of our enemies.
