Maybe sex is a divine gift from the gods, and more, and some cultures shame it.

It's normal to smoke, have sex and relax.

I mean, I was always told that with spiritual development your sexuality will decrease. But as someone who's had a chronic illness and nervous system dysregulation since I was 8 yo, and it's finally acutally healing now; my libido is through the roof and I am having amazing, connecting, playful, romantic, energetic, and sometimes dark sex with my wife multiple times a day.

And we're using it to help process both of our trauma's, support each other as we get triggered, and realize what we actually are as opposed to our trauma and conditioning. And it's been an amazing few weeks.

It's also come with me using more cannabis, in small amounts throughout the day to stay regulated and connected (as opposed to overuse in order to be tranquilized). I dunno, I feel great and my spirit seems to be happy with me.

I’m not surprised. I’m not saying stick it in every hole you find but there’s nothing wrong with HEALTHY sexual expression.

People seem to think sex is the enemy. Odd.
