Responsible sex between two self-aware, individuals can help them separate and differentiate between physical lust and soul love. The experience can create more clarity in the relationship. Even if the relationship isn’t intended to be long term, responsible, consensual sex can be beneficial.
In times past, in some Gnostic and Hindu practices, ‘temple whores’ were incorporated into meditative practice as a way to achieve spiritual union between the male and female. Here, the word whore does not mean a lustful indulgence in eroticism. When honored, the sacred prostitute was ‘virgin’ in the original sense of the word (one-in-herself); a person of integrity whose welcome for the stranger was radiant, self-confident and sensuous. Her purpose was to bring the Love of God into direct contact with mankind. Sexuality and the religious attitude were inseparable.
Jungian psychologist Nancy Qualls-Corbett describes the Holy Whore as "a woman, who, through ritual or psychological development, has come to know the spiritual side of her sexuality; her true Eroticism, and lives this out according to her individual circumstances.” By this definition, a Sacred Prostitute uses sex as a means to enlightenment; a way to experience God.
The Sacred Prostitute is a woman who has reclaimed her Self and reconnected with her own self-will; she has reclaimed the sacredness of her body. When a woman reprograms her thinking from the dogma she has been fed and has come to accept as truth, she frees herself to explore her deeper sacred, sexual feelings; those feeling that are just waiting to be tapped.
If women felt more in control with their sexual selves and how to connect with God through their sexual selves, it is speculated that the divorce rate would decrease because it would force men to see women in a new and different way, making the sexual relationship more sacred.
If we as humans saw each other in this new way, relationships would change dramatically, and change quite possibly for the better. by Rich Ernest
