Sex and spirituality can get along together?

Question

SORRY IF ANY GET HURT

Answer 1

Ok. Who said they couldn't?
There is a time and place for everything.

Answer 2

I think your asking "Can sex and spirituality get along together?"
But I'm not sure what you mean by the phrase "Sorry if anyone get hurt"...

If I answer what I believe your asking then I believe the answer is yes. Not only can they get along but they do.

Many religions don't have major constraints on sex at all.

But the misconseption is that religions that do have constraints on sex are in some way against sex.

They are not against sex.

They put limits on it to attempt to prevent other social issues. Now, that's not really the way it's stated, normally you're just told that its a sin if you do xyz at the wrong point in your life. But the end result is just that these religions feel that it's best if you have things like two parents if possible to raise children or that you can prevent problems due to jealousy through one partner relationships and so on. That does not make them against sex.

Think of it in terms of a different kind of pleasure eating.

If you just eat whatever you want all the time (as much of america does) you end up with a lot of fat over weight people (I fall into this catagory as well).

But if you put restrainsts in place, you can eat some of what you like, still enjoying food but live a much healthier life.

Answer 3

Of course! A lot of religions have spiritual sacraments based around sex. Christians have an entire book of the Bible (Song of Solomon) comparing the love between a man and a woman to the relationship between God and man. Unfortunately I am not too familiar with other religions, but I believe that Tartaric sex is a spiritual practice of the Hindu. There are a ton of books and articles on the subject. Take a look at the link below for some suggestions on resources.

Answer 4

I have sex often (with my husband) and I'm a very spiritual person. So I would say that yes, they can especially if shared in the bonds of marriage. It's a blessing.

Answer 5

Sex is based upon physical/material urges. Spirituality is based upon spirit experiences. They come from different motivation, but live in the same body.

Answer 6

It depends what you mean by "sex."

The ability to give life is a God given gift meant to be used as it was instructed to be used.

People say that cannibus was made by God, therefore I can smoke it. But cannibus was not made for that purpose.

Even though God made hard stone, it doesn't mean we can kill anyone on the street because with it because he made it.

Because we can have sex, it doesn't mean we can do it in any time, any way, with anyone, anyhow.

God instructed that sex is between a husband and his wife ONLY. Nothing else.

It doesn't mean sex is evil or can't be done, but that misusing it is evil.

Answer 7

Y=self (YES!)..... The fact is that when having sex with anyone, a stranger, a lover, a friend..etc....
You are giving and receiving their energy...
It's a powerful act that causes LIFE or DEATH!
Both should be on the same LEVEL, same Thought, same PLANE.....what ever you WANT out of life think about at the same time, CLAIM IT.. IT'S YOURS... GOOD LUCK.
PEACE AND BLESSING

Answer 8

Definitely. I am very spiritual. I believe I am a part of God, experiencing this life.

I am a very sexual person as well. This experience is of humanity and all that goes with it.

Answer 9

Without sex there would be no one to be spiritual

Answer 10

You might consider doing a search online using the term "Tantra"... There are tantric branches in both Buddhism and Hinduism...and while it's not all about sex, there are many exercises and practices to circulate, develop, and control sexual energy.

Answer 11

Yes, I do agree with that. Some of the kinkyfolk (those who are into S&M, Dominance/submission, etc) do describe what they are into as part of their spiritual lives. :-)

Being spiritual is a large part of being human, imho, so sexuality is a big part of our being human. :-) It all ties together. :-)
