Sex is Simple

Sex is Simple

Sex is built into our body.From our emergence out of the symbiosis of microbes (read up on the work of Lynn Margulis for this) our body makes use of two mechanisms to continue to exixt:

1. Cell division; this is what is described in many medical text books.


2. Sexual recombination.

BOTH are relevant to our continued existence, as Both are essential for the continued existence of the human species. Sex is not a personal affair: it is part of the existence of our species. Cell Division and (sexual) Cell Fusion – together – are part of the mechanism of attunement of the part to the whole. Together they ‘straddle the interface’ between unit and unity.

Sex is already seen in the microbes. There, differences in experience are communicated by the sharing of information, which is done by the extrusion of a protein strand from one microbe to another. The mechanism for making hormones, enzymes, and proteins that is found in body cells is therefore already basis of sexual transmission. In it, one cell that has migrated to other domains communicates what it experienced to cells that did not. In this way microbes can build up immunity to antibiotics. (Which is good for those microbes, and also for humans as antibiotics treat only the symptom and not the cause. Most microbial infections are by microbes already living on our body, but able to live in unusual spaces because the body circulation was changed.)

Sex has many shapes: as many as the species that the microbes by their symbioses developed into. The logicality and necessity of sexuality is thus a natural aspect of nature.

Sexuality has many modes of denial; as many as there are cultures and social groupings who in a way try to impose their ‘rule’ as superior to that of nature. Sometimes, rarely, such social regulations on sexual behaviour are well-meant. Most often they are forms of cultural tyranny by which one group of people wish to impose their ‘superiority’ onto others. Churches are well-known for their abuse of sexual regulation instead of sexual education.

Sex is best understood by understanding the body.
In it, all the principles and ‘secrets’ of sex are readily found. For the body  they are necessity, not a secret. So, in order to understand what your sexuality means and represents, study the workings of your own body. And realise – as described above – it is part of the way our cells function and replicate: cell division within bodies; cell fusion between bodies.
