Osho Quotes on Sex
- You can be intense in sex and you may not be sincere,
because sex is not necessarily love. You may be very, very intense in your
sexuality -- but once sexuality is fulfilled, it is finished, the
intensity gone. Love may not look so intense, but it is sincere -- and
because it is sincere, the intensity continues. In fact, if you are really
in love it becomes a timelessness. It is always intense. And make a clear
distinction: if you are intense without sincerity, you cannot be forever
intense. Only momentarily you can be intense; when the desire arises you
are intense. It is not really your intensity. It is enforced by the
desire.
- Love is the creative refinement of sex energy. And so,
when love reaches perfection, the absence of sex automatically follows. A life
of love, an abstinence from physical pleasures is called brahmacharya, and
anyone who wishes to be free from sex must develop his capacity to love.
Freedom from sex cannot be achieved through supersession. Liberation from
sex is only possible through love.
- The more mind is filled with chattering, more sex has
appeal.
- Why is so much sex needed? Because you are tense, sex becomes a release. Your tensions are released through it -- you feel relaxed, you can go to sleep; if you repress it, you remain tense. And if you repress sex -- the only release, the only possibility of release -- what will happen? You will go mad. Where will you release your tensions then?
- Only in sex the noise sometimes stops. I say
"sometimes". If you have become habitual in sex also, as
husbands and wives become, then it never stops. The whole act becomes
automatic and the mind goes on its own. Then sex also is a boredom.
- If you fight sex, sex becomes the center. Then, continuously, you are engaged in it, occupied with it. It becomes like a wound. And wherever you look, that wound immediately projects, and whatsoever you see becomes sexual.
- Brahmacharya is not against sex. If it is against sex
then sex can never disappear. Brahmacharya is a transmutation of the
energy: it is not being against sex, rather it is changing the whole
energy from the sex center to the higher centers. When it reaches to the
seventh center of man, the sahasrar, then brahmacharya happens. If it
remains in the first center, muladhar, then sex; when it reaches to the
seventh center, then samadhi. The same energy moves. It is not being
against it; rather, it is an art how to use it.
- If you go on loving a person deeply, by and by sex
disappears. Intimacy becomes so fulfilling, then there is no need for sex;
love is enough unto itself. When that moment comes then there is the
possibility of prayer dawning upon you.
- When you make sex to a person, woman or man, you think it unites you. For a moment it gives you the illusion of unity, and then a vast division suddenly comes in. That's why after every sex act, a frustration, a depression sets in. One feels that one is so far away from the beloved. Sex divides, and when love goes deeper and deeper and unites more and more, there is no need for sex. Your inner energies can meet without sex, and you live in such a unity.
- When you are feeling very passionate, lust, sex takes
over. Just try to be tranquil in the breathing, and you feel sex has
disappeared.
- When sex desire arises, one simply pays total attention
to it, not judging, not saying this is good or bad not saying this is
evil, not saying that this is a provocation from the devil. No -- no
evaluation at all because all valuation belongs to the mind and witnessing
is not of the mind. Good, bad -- distinctions all belong to the mind, and
the witnessing is undivided, one. It is neither good nor bad, it simply
is. One pays attention to hunger or to the sex desire, total attention --
and total attention is such an energy, it is fire-the hunger simply is
burned, the sex desire is simply burned.
- A great poet, a great singer, a dancer who is moving
totally in his commitment, automatically becomes celibate. He has no
discipline for it. Sex is superfluous energy; sex is a safety valve. When
you have too much in you and you cannot do anything with it, the nature
has made a safety valve; you can throw it out. You can release it,
otherwise you will go mad or burst -- explode. And if you try to suppress
it, then too you will go mad, because suppressing it won't help. It needs
a transformation, and that transformation comes from total commitment. A
warrior, if he is really a warrior -- an impeccable warrior, will be
beyond sex. His whole energy is moving.
- If you are involved totally, sex disappears because sex
is a safety valve. When you have energy unused, then sex becomes a
haunting thing around you. When total energy is used, sex disappears. And
that is the state of brahmacharya, of virya, of all your potential energy
flowering.
- If you can come to this nowness without sex, sex, by
and by will become useless, it will disappear. It will not be a desire
then. If you want to move in it you can move into it as a fun, but not as
a desire. Then there is no obsession in it because you are not dependent
on it.
- What happens with your sex energy depends on how you
use it. What it can become does not depend on it alone, but on your
understanding and on how you live your life. Have you not observed that it
becomes brahmacharya, the state of celibacy when it is transformed?
bramhacharya is not hostile to passion; brahmacharya is the purification,
the transcendence, the sublimation of passion. In the same way, the energy
that manifests itself in violence becomes peace, serenity and tranquility.
It is only a question of transformation.
- Be a witness of sex too. Don't be the controller of it.
Don't try to forcibly bring it under control, remain a witness of it too.
Just as you are a witness of everything else, remain a witness of sex too.
- Transcendence of sex is a totally different phenomenon
from the suppression of it. But suppression can give you the feeling that
you have transcended.
