ZEN AND THE ART OF MAKING LOVE

THEY HAVEN'T TOLD YOU
A FEW ESSENTIAL THINGS ABOUT SEX

The big paradox in our culture is that we have been able to land on the moon before knowing a few simple facts of sexual anatomy. And this says a lot about how insane our way of living and how violent the repression of our most basic instincts is.

When I wrote the first version of my book "Zen and The Art of Making Love", even I didn't know anything about this essential information on sex. It's an absurd situation. For years I have continued to spread this knowledge through books, articles, theatrical productions and television appearances. I am certainly not the only one involved in this effort, but it seems that people don't believe what we say.

To this very day a small percentage of sexologists have understood these basic aspects of sexuality and nevertheless continue to do a lot of people damage, giving them advice about sex without knowing the most basic things.
Concepts such as frigidity, the clitoris, the male L-spot, and female ejaculation seem impossible to digest. To think then that you can practice penetration in the absence of an erection seems a completely crazy concept. Not to mention
Tantric sexuality and the possibility of reaching ecstasy through sexuality. The situation is still more absurd if you consider that all this "incredible news about sex" aren't discoveries that I or some other contemporary genius has made, but simple objective reality that has already been well known thousands of years ago with all primitive cultures that have cultivated a healthy curiosity for pleasure and sexuality.
From this perspective, we can say that the Western researchers that have demonstrated the existence of these physiological realities are not discoverers, but rather re-discoverers, or better, they are those who have succeeded in translating something in the objective language of science which in more sexually healthy cultures was commonplace reality, such as the existence of the heart beat or the necessity to periodically urinate.

If you have the patience to read the following pages and do about ten-minute worth of experiments, you will be able to verify by hand, see with your eyes, better hear, that all that I am saying is pure truth. And even you like me will get pissed off for everything that, out of ignorance, they haven't told you. After milleniums, we are the first in our culture to concern ourselves with pleasure again.
Certainly, a culture's level of violence and fear of love keeps pace with the practice of war and every crime against humanity.
In the sixties, the slogan "Let's make love, not war" was born. It was only the beginning. Perhaps war will cease to be an interesting activity when we start seriously fucking.
