We have grown up in a world that is ‘genitally armoured’. Kids are taught to refrain from touching and to hide their genitals. Masturbating is a taboo and premarital sex a sin. We have a very strong sense of moral civility in which sex is a shameful and blasphemous thing to indulge in. But this isn’t about a question of being moral or shameful, but understanding what our bodies need and what they don’t. A deep-rooted fear of sex can lead to certain disbalances in the body such that many people are not able to come to terms with their bodies. Since times immemorial, Taoist masters, tantric adepts, and shamanic healers have emphasised the importance of sexual indulgence. The principle idea behind sexual healing is that one’s well being is a state that can be attained by one’s own means. A body is self-sufficient to cure itself and fitness comes from within.
