The Spirituality of Sex

In the 10th and 11th centuries in in India, sex was  was thought to be a path to spirituality.

Today, sex has been denigrated to a fast-food item, to be consumed strictly for the high it brings without the heart and soul of exploration into the divine.

In their article “The Spirituality of Sex,” Jurriaan Kamp and Tijn Touber take you through the stages of change sex has undergone over the ages. They bring us full circle  back to sex as a meaning-making meeting of two souls for the purposes of personal growth and development. Sex Therapy Los Angeles

Helen Fisher Talks About Love and the Brain

Anthropologist Helen Fisher talks about why we love on this video at Ted.com.  She states that romantic love is a basic mating drive and can be an addiction as well. Sex Addiction Los Angeles

Love addiction is comprised of focus, obsession, craving, distorting reality, and taking risks.  It also shares the same features of chemical addiction such as tolerance, withdrawl, and relapse.

To watch the video, go to

Dr. Fisher states, “love is in us, it’s deeply embeded in the brain.”

Women Struggle with Sex Addiction Too

If you are female and are worried about your sexual behaviors, take a look at this video produced by faithave.com.  Marnie Feree, a long-time expert on female sex addiction, talks about the facts of female sex addiction. Sex Addiction Los Angeles

This is a faith-based message which I neither endorse or condem.  As they say in the 12-step tradition, “take what you like and leave the rest.”  To view the video go to:

Sexual Fluidity…

Is there such a thing as sexual fluidity or is our sexuality static?  This author offers both research and explanation as to why/how it’s possible that our sexuality fluctuates over time and according to who were with and where we are in our lives. Sex Therapy Los Angeles

“I Kissed a Girl” Sexual Fluidity: Understanding Women’s Love and Desire by Lisa M. Diamond Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 2008,  is available in  hardcover should you want to read the book.

Below you will find an excerpt of her book reviewed by Ellyn Ruthstrom:

In a culture most comfortable analyzing important issues using binary concepts—Democrat/Republican, pro/con, right/wrong—the straight/gay binary of sexual orientation is particularly well-defended. Admitting to any element of ambiguity or changeability in this most intimate part of our identities strikes fear into the hearts of many. Certainly the biphobia—prejudice against bisexuals—that is exhibited by both the straight and gay communities is a manifestation of that fear. If we understood ambiguity better, would we be able to accept that a fluid sexual orientation is as valid as any other? Would there be less distrust and apprehension of those whose sexuality doesn’t fit into a heads-or-tails reality?

Women Turn To Sex Industry Due to Economic Downturn

I feared it was a matter of time before we began to see young women, and men, turning to the sex industry to make ends meet. This article on the msnbc website tells us just that. With the loss of jobs and financial struggles many are having, young women are turning to stripping.

Often young women think they can handle the work and tell themselves that it’s just a “temporary” solution until they get back on their feet financially. Unfortunately, the money can be seductive and instead of saving the money and getting out, they start to create a lifestyle with it. Sex Addiction Los Angeles

This, sadly, becomes a trap that can have women turning to prostitution before they know it. If you or someone you know is thinking about selling their sexuality, now is the time to assist them in getting help before the trap-door closes.
