What is sacred sexuality and what does it have to do with me?

Sacred sexuality means many different things to many different kinds of people. It is a timeless art that has been passed down from many different cultures and practices. It is largely feminine directed and entrusted. However, that is not to say that men can not partake in her teachings or pleasures. The Goddess welcomes all. Sacred sexuality for me is the essence of self love, empowerment, spiritual connectedness and sexual heat that brings forth our unique sexual identity. It springs forth a warrior cry in the night right before we begin to do battle! This sacred sexual energy is a woman's right as our bodies are the most precious temple. Every day we are taught through mass media reproduction what we are supposed to be like, feel like, act like, look like and live like. We are taught as little girls how we are  to respond to men sexually, and many of us who seek same sex relations are often confused as to who does what? We are constantly consumed by false truths, someone elses truths and we find it difficult to find our own.

Not to beat a "dead horse" cause we love horses but check these stats taken from ABC in 2004 from a national survey given on how men think about their sex lives in comparison to and women:

  "Women are more conservative about sex in other ways. They're more apt than men to say there's too much sex on TV, 84 percent to 62 percent. They're less likely than men to condone sex before marriage, 54 to 68 percent. And 61 percent of sexually active women, compared with 50 percent of men, call themselves sexually traditional, not adventurous."

Now you may say: "But Nisha that was in 2004, what signifigance does that have at the end of 2011?"  Well I am going to share just that. This poll was taken less than 10 years ago, therefore it still represents the population in general. It has been shown from sex studies that women are far less "clear"about what their sexual needs are and less apt to explore them either verbally or physically with their partner! Check out that last line 61% of women said their sex lives were traditional! Uh hum.. this means NO ADVENTURE! I ask why is that?  During the dawn of 2012 the Goddess is providing women the opportunity to embrace our sacredness and our sexuality IS apart of that awakening, it's our divine seat of creativity within us, and we have an innate power to harness this power with whatever intent we choose to show it to the world or if you would like to keep your stage small, to yourself or to a partner!

It is time in my opinion for women to open up and discuss what they want sexually and to go for it with no apologizes. Now I am not saying lets line up with torches and spears and run down the male dominated establishment. What I am suggesting is we need to begin to TALK ABOUT SEX in ways that facilitate understanding and empowerment.  We need to create sacred spaces that allow women to come together and create sacred sexual circles that allow this kind of dialogue. Did you know that over 60% of women do not know what is happening to their bodies during sexual response and/or arousal?! If we don't know what is happening within, how we teach anyone what to do without?

I encourage all women to take a class on women's sexuality or sexual response! Begin to think about what you need as a sexual woman or if not sexual ask yourself why not if you are able to be? What is holding you back? Explore. Keep a journal. Heck send me an email! 


Until then I have included a link from Planned Parenthood that offers answers to these questions!  I will be offering courses soon on this very topic. Until then take some time to browse and read through the links information!
