Real Sexuality Is Not About Sex
When we talk of sexuality we are not talking about explicit sex, either in word or deed. Rather we are referring to a gut feeling that bypasses the mind and body parts and stimulates all the senses.
Have you ever noticed the lack of self-consciousness and the confidence that someone really sexual exudes?
That's because real sexuality has nothing to do with thinking; it has to do with being-being alive, feeling connected to an inner core. When we are allied with our Inner Self we are turned on and when we are turned on, people are turned on to us.
In the classical literature of Kashmir Shaivism, kundalini is Divine energy, the snake that lies coiled at the base of the spine. Uncoiled, it moves up the spine, where it reunites at the top of the head with God, the Divine, and your own true Self.
As this energy is released it creates a vibration that is very powerful. This vibration is an emanation of the Inner Self and moves with strength and speed in the physical world. When we are in the presence of someone whose kundalini has been awakened, we pick up a different pulsation; there is something very attractive and engaging about this person.
Most of the time we have no idea intellectually what is going on-we just feel attracted. Initially, we may think the attraction is sexual, but that is just how we have previously interpreted wanting to be near someone. Now, all of our senses are stimulated, and we are awake, aware of a different energy that is both intoxicating and alluring.
This force captures us, and we are inexplicably drawn to the juicy feeling. We feel the need to move closer and closer because the energy is familiar; it may be the other person's but it is our energy too, Divine energy, the same in us all-and when we feel it, we know it. We cannot help but respond. With the other as a mirror, we are drawn in, never realizing we are turned on to our own vibration.
Feeling whole, we glow from the inside. This is what real sexuality is all about.

Nice article, very thoughtful. I like your views of sexuality, and I like that you think it isn't about sex.
Awesome article. While I've heard before that sexuality isn't entirely about sex, it's nice to see it in writing, along with the body of thought that encompasses it.
I love this! You had me right from the title. I wish more people would realize and understand these ideas!
I enjoy how you explain your definition of sexuality in this blog, and I must say that I agree with you entirely. I have to admit I was sort of skeptical by the title, but I don't regret opening this page up at all. Men always mistake sexuality for sex, more so than women. I guess it's just another one of those male ego trips. Thanks to this blog, I can set them straight. Well done.
Your definition of sexuality is definitely interesting. It doesn't really apply to all circumstances though. What is going on when one person finds someone extremely sexual and attractive but another person just doesn't see it?
I found your article to be interesting and though provoking. I agree it has a lot to do with being alive. I do agree with a lot of what you say but I do think occasionally it is about sex and I am a woman saying this.
Hmm...to me this article is all about self-confidence. I do not know how I feel about the divine being a part of self-confidence and how that related to sexuality. I am attracted to confident people, but not cocky people. I just do not think that I agree with this take on sexuality.
Interesting. Your explanation of the "vibrations" really made me think. It is true that often we are attracted to someone but we don't know why. This could be it.
This blog is really awesome. The author explains about the inner energy and kundalini.It can be attained through regular meditation.You can develop positive vibrations in you and spread it to others once you develop your inner self.A thought provoking article indeed.
Great blog! I definitely believe that sexuality and sensuality are of the utmost importance and bypass plain old "sexiness"
Interesting ideas. There is more to sex than sexiness, true.
