While to a certain extent, sexual energy transformed into other creative pursuits fuels genius and transcendence, there has to be plenty of sexual energy, in the first place, for that to happen.

From my experience of highly sexual people, which is vast, "perverts" tend to be much brighter than average folks... the idea of the "stupid pervert", is a prejudice of patriarchy.

It takes brains to look beyond the "missionary position", and guts to go against society's harsh repression. Certainly, one has to look no farther than the Genius-l to find individuals who boast about their intelligence to make up for their complete lack of sex life..

Everybody knows stories about sex scandals of the various religous institutions. JFK to the Maharishi.. leaders are horny folks.

From my perspective, intelligence and a high sex drive go together more often than not... and this makes sense, from an evolutionary perspective.. breed more smarter people... except that we thwart nature by being smart enough to use birth control.
   Then we assist evolution, by gathering sperm from Nobel Prize winners..
   Hi ho.

To my mind, the few religions that are sex-positive are the ones really invested in empowering the individual. The religions that are sex-negative/repressive... usually patriarchal, like the Judaeo-christian and some Vedic... tend to hide the sacred power of sexuality under a lot of warnings and tabus to keep the seeker controllable. (watch out for the snake!)

This works, coz most folks want to be controlled... followers outnumber leaders.

Awakened people cannot be so easily controlled... as Ghandi said about the still, small voice within, being the only tyrant he would accept. He was "married with children".

I get all the sex I want, eat meat, smoke... and my IQ has been increasing steadily. It kind of amazes me, but I think of the hierarchies of intelligence, thus:

The logical ego-mind... the conscious part that most folks think of as "I" is the most limited in terms of intelligence. It is preoccupied with fears appearances and limitations perceived as reality. In relationship to the much vaster unconscious, it is as the moon to the sun. Feeble.

That's most of the brain... and there are as many neurons in the human brain as there are stars in the known universe.
   Quite a lot..
   Yet the intelligence of the body is estimated to be a TRILLION TIMES that of the brain.
    Not only the brain, but every nerve in the body stores memory. With the spinal cord, that makes for more information stored in the body than in the brain. Added to that, is the "cellular intelligence". The fluid membrane around every single cell stores memory also. The body KNOWS a trillion times better!
   Zen and the art of anything... is disengaging the brain-mind and working with the body-mind. Perfect, effortless, miraculous, without thought. Instinctive.

Spirit is on the top of the hierarchy of intelligence, of course, being infinite and limitless.

Yet, spirit speaks thru the body more readily than the brain... the first part of learning to engage intuitional faculties, is learning to listen to the body: Hair rising on the back of the neck, goosebumps and energy shivers... the positive-negative answers from heart and gut. It is the body-mind that pulls your hand from a hot stove before your brain even knows about it... and the Woman who lifts a truck to save her child is not stopping to first ask her mind whether it thinks she can do it. Instinct is wiser than logic.

K-fires up Genius anyway, but I tend to think that part of the increase in intelligence is coming from my listening to my body more. Respecting my instincts, has opened me up more to the vastness of instinctive information, and the many signals that spirit sends thru body-mind. When I stop and focus on my body, in the zen space of silence there is room for all kinds of information to come into my mind... from not just my body, but from my Higher Self, spirit guides, guardian angels, faerie..
   It is an expression in the BDSM world, "The Mistress/Master is Always Right".
   Except in my case, it is more than an expression... With my slaves, it is more like an ironic running joke... coz I am right, an absurd percentage of the time... like almost always... about things I ought not logically to know... it takes them some getting used to. Tee hee... it does give them a sense of security, tho.
   Nice to know the one who is making the decisions has a strong tendency to always make correct ones.
   My pride in this achievement is very self-limiting... because the information is not coming from the "I" that would be prideful about it... it is coming when the logical self gets out of the way, and takes instructions from elsewhere..
   Sometimes it is really hard to be right, all the time, especially about some things... like premonitions of death.

Bodies communicate with each other, too, in a complex light speed communication that we are not conscious of.
   Zen and the art of Acting... we detect the difference between good actors and bad ones instinctively, thru the presence or absence of something called the "kinetic dance".
   It was discovered when some folks researching body language did a study: they filmed two strangers meeting for the first time with super high speed film. (many times) Then they slowed the film right down and analysed it meticulously for signals being exchanged.
   They were staggered to discover that within two seconds of meeting, there were more than 10,000 signals from one body to the other... reciprocated.
   Holy First Impressions, Batman! Your body has told your whole life story, and heard theirs, and exchanged opinions about each, before you can even say hello!
   It is this information, that forms the mysterious thing we call "chemistry" between people. It, like other higher awareness, is something "felt", but not usually clearly definable in words.
   So, if your body is calling for you to connect intimately with another body, it might be because it is wiser and knows what and who is good for you, much, much better than you do.

You don't need high speed film to observe the "kinetic dance", tho. Watch folks in a restaurant, or in any public place, and notice how each person moves in some way when each other person does, as if to maintain some invisible balance between them. It is most readily observed with friends and couples, but can be seen even between strangers carefully ignoring each other at a bus stop. Their minds think they are not communicating, yet by observing the kinetic dance, we see that their bodies are actually chatting away to each other.
   So it is with stage fright... self consciousness makes us try to control the body lest it tell too much about us in front of all those people... !80 and so we feel stiff and clumsy and stupid, the kinetic dance is absent, or rather, the body is busy telling everyone how scared we are, instead of sending the message we intend.

Some one, M. I think... asked about "fluids"..
   Far from being concerned about "lack of secretions", I am one of those women who can ejaculate... amitra, the sacred essence, I share it only with those who are beloved to me, as it has an intoxicating effect on those who taste it... Love potion #9... they describe it as a sweetness they find themselves thirsting for, with their whole being. Delightful. I get to watch/feel their vibration rising, as the energy of it shoots thru their whole bring, radiant with light. Blows my mind, too..
   Love is not like other energies, the more it is shared, the more of it there is... the fount will never run dry.

From a health point of view... sex causes increased heart rate, thus increases circulation causes sweating... both of which are important for cleansing the body of toxins and maintaining health... activating the lymph, and balancing hormones. Lymph is largely involved with cleansing the body systems... more folks suffer from too much clogged up than too little.. because of muscular tightness and stress. One of the best ways to get lymph moving to improve health by clearing toxins and tightness? Being touched by other humans... massage. 2 hugs a day for good mental health... Exercise and deep relaxation. Sex. Staying grounded and in a spiritual state is easier, in a body that is not being agitated by stress and toxic conditions.

Kundalites are in a process of cleansing not just daily toxins, but also the various detrius of past karma... best removed by raising the body's vibration by focusing on love... and unity... and is a wonderful release of stress. Stress is the big killer. Folks glow and look healtheir after sex, usually in my observation. (Unless it is reeeally disappointing sex... :( )

Hormones are closely involved in regulating moods, and being able to control feelings is an important aspect of detachment. It is the starving man, who overeats, and does himself harm.

Sex without love is like drinking wine to soothe thirst... the thirst keeps increasing with every glass, into addiction.

Sexual creative energy funneled thru the Heart and given up to Goddess.. feeds and waters All that Is. The cup runneth over, and must be shared more widely... the energy goes out from the act, to promote more love in other non-sexual interactions.

I use my sexual energy K-fired and combine it with creative visualization for manifestations and healing. Sometimes this diverts my sex drive temporarily, it goes wandering off to do the work and seems gone from my being... but it never really is... often it seems I live in a sensual world, making love to everything around me... but too much celibacy (defined as no orgasms) and I find myself getting cranky and oversensitive to slights. I can easily correct this imbalance, solo... making love to Self and Gaia, moving the energy with gratitude for my body's ability to feel such transcendent pleasure, and releasing it in orgasms as a Gift to Goddess.
   Without sex there is still intimacy. Greater intimacy after..
   Those who are beloved are in my heart, mind and body all the time, and I am in theirs... the connection is not limited to the physical, but charged and enhanced by it. Within the physical, I have literally hundreds of ways to explore the exchange of sexual energy, without any actual sexual contact... not even kissing... that is my personal pleasure, but also my profession... and my professional BDSM sessions cause KA.

These days, so does my healing touch. Reliably. It causes me some concern..
   Lately I have taken to volunteering my healing talents down at the local "medical marijuana compassion club", casually, in their lounge... and I am thinking of getting some folders on K.A. printed up, coz I feel like I should be explain K., with a warning, before offering healing... Give folks the chance to RUN! before I touch them and wake the serpents..
   (telling them that they won't ever be the same again, sometimes sounds pretty ominous..!)

One fella even "caught" just by curiously watching me work with the other folks, and wanting the same. Sigh.

Attempting control of shaktipat is useless tho... seems it is not up to me, it is up to the higher self of the recipient. I must trust that Goddess knows what She is doing, in having our paths cross in the first place, and will continue to guide them to what they need, whether I give them the "crash course" on K. or not.

I have had a few aware people tell me, that receiving my healing (not sexual) touch is more intimate than sex with some lovers they have known.
   When I use my empathy, we become one.

....all these statues of the Buddha in meditation sporting a big woodie?
   I have read many accounts of folks for whom the K. rises most transcendently, thru sexual expression, or as a result of it. Pleasure and transcendant bliss. The sensual world of Eden perceived, in the kiss of a warm breeze on the cheek firing energy orgasms throughout the body. Making love to the world.
