Human Needs

What I've come to understand, at least from my own limited view of reality, is that sex is a human need. it is one of the many human needs, along with things like food water shelter and love and so many more. If you do not have sex you will dream about sex; because you need it. the body needs it. the mind needs it. I cannot imagine the pain and torment of the catholic clergymen and women who hold onto archaic belief systems that tell them that they must refrain from something so natural and human as sex in order to live the spiritual life that is our God given right while we are here. that has got to be frustrating. To wake up in a sex dream and be forced by your own beliefs to feel guilty for it. or to desire to give yourself or another pleasure but have to constantly tell yourself that you cannot and that it is wrong somehow. it is truly inhuman.

My own personal belief is that when the catholic church evolves out of this archaic belief of sexual celibacy in order to be spiritually pure, for after all there is nothing more pure than sex if done in the right way –- is there a right way? probably not – then they will then and finally then be ready to fulfill what they have always held the potential to do here on earth. I believe in their mission statement so to speak, as with many of man’s religious systems, just not too impressed with the execution as of yet.

But sex is completely different than love and relationship. They are inter-related but only to a certain degree. They are very different, fulfill different needs. Sex is one thing but it is not to be confused with love or relationship.

Ps –- the people in and of the scene, any scene, whether the art or movie or music or religious or money scene, always tend to over estimate the importance of it in the bigger picture. and ironically the people on the outside of the scene, any scene, always tend to underestimate the importance of it and the power in it when they are on the outside of it.
