The idea of sex orgies in this modern day is used without religious connotation. An orgy originally was a religious service.
I can be systematic in what I do. Some weeks I go I decided to trace and study the history of the swinging life, what is called lifestyle.
I read Psychology of Sex Relations, Theodor Reik (New York: Rinehart, 1945), Factors in the Sex Life of Twenty-Two Hundred Women, K. B. Davis (New York: Harper, 1929), Female Sexuality, Marie Bonaparte (New York: International Universities Press, 1953), The Psychology of Women (Vols. 1 and 2), Helene Deutsch (New York: Grune and Stratton, 1944-45), Psychosexual Functions in Women, Therese Benedek (New York: Ronald Press, 1952).
We have been through a sexual revolution of major proportions. In the course of that revolution we are now learning from history.
The Hindu religion is a mystery religion. A mystery religion is a religion with all kinds of practices that lead to some deep secret. The deep secret of the Hindu religion is the elevation of sex and sexual pleasure to the level of spirituality. Why do you think among the holy books of the Hindu religion is Kamasutra? Kamasutra is a book seeking to mimick animal sex practices and incorporates them to humans.
One of the most amazing aspects of wild sex is the fact that all five senses become extremely dulled as the act increases in intensity. The ability to feel hot and cold, to feel pain, or to hear sounds becomes almost nonexistent. The eyes take on a characteristic trance-like stare, and vision becomes constricted. The entire mind and body are concentrated fully on the mounting sexual feeling and exclude all else. In orgasm itself the anesthesia of the senses is almost total. Indeed many people experience a temporary loss of consciousness for a matter of seconds. Some, according to Kinsey’s findings, remain unconscious for two or more minutes.
Full sexual satisfaction is followed by a state of utter calm. The body feels absolutely quiescent. Psychologically the person feels completely satisfied, at peace with the world and all things in it. The woman in particular feels extremely loving toward the partner who has given her so much joy, such a transport of ecstasy. Often she wishes to hold him close for a while, to linger tenderly in the now subdued glow of their passion.
There are many who take a mystical view of this ecstatic coupling of man and woman in love. They think of it as a symbol of a lost unity between the sexes that strives to reassert itself in the act of love. Others see in it a foretaste of heaven, the carnal representation of endless spiritual delights for mankind. Many who are able to experience orgasm in intercourse find it difficult not to ascribe some purposive intent on the part of the Creator; the experience is that profound.
Sex worship has always been there throughout history. Aphrodite was the Goddess woman of wine and sexual pleasure in the ancient world. Aphrodite through application of herbs during bath became sexy woman. True other women were beautiful. But Aphrodite can be rightly called the Mother of Sexy women. A beautiful body and a sexy body are different. A sexy body has the pulling power, the woman through sensual movements, posture and grace is so seductive that men loose their minds and abandon their wives and fall for her. Thats what happened with Aphrodite. Gradually, as it is often the case, many women began coping Aphrodite.
How has this history influenced the modern times?
