All three penetrations.... Simultaneously.. That's the best...

I love Osho but I take issue with him on this point. The greatest penetration is when physical, mental and spiritual all merge as one.

When you separate one from the other you are existing in a marginal state.

I like the sentiment, don't like the photo. It shows two people with perfect bodies perfectly entwined, suitable for a porn film or a perfume ad. Love, sex, and connection are for everyone.

This assumes the three are separate. I’d argue they’re inseparable. Perhaps there are degrees, a spectrum of experience. But there’s no such thing as purely meaningless, animal sex since whilst we are animals, we are not purely so... or at least profoundly unique in the animal kingdom.

With rape, physical penetration is NOT a superficial thing. Girls are torn apart physically and even die after being raped.

I feel deeply offended by the first sentence. Obviously written by a man.

"Osho" was Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh.

Wow. Way too many people were obviously having a bad day yesterday. By the sheer fact this was posted in the 'real intimacy' group should give you all the information you need to know about what this quote and image were trying to convey. How people took this message down the road of rape, criticized the author (and each other), had issue with the photo (amongst a plethora of other things), and other comments that had NOTHING to do with the intent of this post is simply beyond me. Just relax, take it at face value and stop nit-picking every damn thing you come across on this site. There are other groups and way more important topics out there to get 'worked up' over. Real intimacy is a beautiful thing and thats what this group is for. Keep it positive people and I hope that each day you get to experience love and intimacy on this level. Peace.

Ha - OSHO Rashnish... half good stuff and half total crazy. I've always been a Krishnamurti fan myself. K used to love fucking with that guy!

It's an interesting thought for sure. My only critique of Osho was that I'm not sure he could fully understand love with an ego like that.

Ahhh... I take it too serious. Fuck it! Let's go to Oregon, start a cult, get some Caddy's, and have an orgy!

Sex is certainly no superficial thing. Those who treat it as such reveal the shallowness of their thought and the callousness of their feeling.

I remember once crossing a road at a busy intersection. There was a couple of dogs smack bang in the middle of the intersection. Eight cops were watching. My girlfriend said: " Looks these dogs are making love." I thought they were just having a fuck.
Another time we went to a piggery with about 20 pigpens. As we walked along these pens I realised that each was occupied one a pregnant sow who was either sleeping or slowly moving about. It was siesta time. When we reached the last pen my girlfriend said, pointing at a larger pig: "That is the husband." She just laughed when I asked her whether they had a group wedding or just a series of weddings.
I wished I could have interviewed these pigs.
I think we often engage in mental acrobacy to deny the fact that we are animals.
Perhaps we should cleanse our minds of the idea that sex is cleansed when wrapped in pink love.
Even if love is envolved sex is animalistic. Herpes probable doesn't care whether it was transmilled during a fuck or a session of passionate love making.

Love is a bourgeois concept for those who can afford it.

Penetration is certainly not superficial ...

What my psychology professor had said is humans do not have instincts. That everything we do is a choice decided by environmental cues, learned behavior and other peoples signals. Breathing and heartbeat are reflexed that can be controlled.

Can there be love without sex? Absolutely!
Can there be sex without love? Absolutely!

I feel like it's a little more complex than that.

Excellent quote! And totally correct. When the merge is compete, or nearing so, that is when I develop "faith!"

If only it didn't come from that nut job Bagwan Shi Rajneesh!! Lol

Amen, sister. OH! I mean...well, you know...

Very nice.

Beautifully stated.

Nice photo, though.

That true connection....nothing can match it

I have to disagree with the first statement. I believe that penetration can and should be far more than animalistic. I do not believe that satisfactory sex occurs without more than physical penetration. There are many sad old jokes of the ilk of "all a woman has to do is open her legs and think of England", "have you not finished yet", George, the ceiling needs painting", " Did you orgasm dear? No! I could have sworn that you moved" to point up the fallacy of believing that all it is is penetrative animalism. You have obviously never orgasmed because your lover asked you to whilst you were at quietly working with no stimulus or distraction and he was miles away and not talking with you at the time. That does not fit the first statement and can only occur normally through the second and third statements.

The third situation is synergy and badly described in my profile but as you ghost me I will not hold my breath waiting for you to read it. ???????

Awesomeness

Wouldn't that be nice. =]

How do you feel about love being simply defined as a set of neurochemical transmitters firing off simply because our biology is designed to pass on our genes? I don’t think love needs to be anything so grandiose. It’s a nice to have.
