Is sex good for spiritual growth?

Sexual bliss is as good as meditational bliss provided sexual act is away from obsession, fear, ego, dominating or controlling our partners. But this is not a replacement for meditation, as sex requires two soul to unite selflessly at physical , metal and spriritual levels. Yoga is unification. In meditation one unifies with universe and in sexual act one unifies with their parther. Pure unification in sexual act is a bliss.

Sexual energy is the kundlini energy and is very difficult to control. Human being is trying to control it for ages. If it's not controlled systematically and suppressed it causes the trouble in other aspects of our being. Controlling the sexual energy is like trying to control the water current or a flowing river. Consider blocking a river without channalizing the water, it will do more harm than help. One should not supress sexual energy but need to be channelized it such that it's used for constructive work and raising one to higher self of spiritual levels. If one tries to outright reject it and suppress it , it will find the ways which harms the society in general. If analyzed the causes, a major portion of the crimes happens because of sexual depressions, even in so called civilized world. We as society should have some rules to control the sexual energy and it's effect with due respect. Our society should have a positive outlook towards the sex.

From ages we have been embossed in our mind that sex as low moral thing. If so, have we though about why in first place nature has given sexual urge to us? It's natural as we are hungry, we gets the thought of food, like having sexual urge, getting sexual thoughts. Why to have shame about our natural needs?

In marriages or in general sex is used as tool to dominate other partner, a instrument of ego , a tool to negotiate and so on... Rather it should be used as stepping stone to our spiritual rise. Both the partners understanding each other, instead of using sex to achieve covert agendas, will help one to overcome ego , add a zeal of loving and caring nature to one's being. It will give one enormous satisfaction as one has helped their partner to achieve bliss along with them.

Have we though of just experiencing sexual act without any bonding, as a free flowing act , flowing with our partner to achieve eternal bliss? It's just need to be experienced.

Sex is not a replacement for mediation. We should be very cautious about sex as it can easily be divert us in to negative trends of our spiritual growth. It can make us obsessed, angry , jealous or egoistic. So one has to be careful. As we become used to be in bliss with meditation, one does not need sexual acts. But even then it does not harm indulging into sex as long as one have control on oneself making sure it's not pulling them down. This applies to any worldy pleasures but sexual /redroduction(creation) urge is primitive and it drives the universe.
