Do you want to wait to have sex until you’re married but want to experience spiritual sex? Don’t worry; it’s 100% possible to have spiritual sex by and with yourself. Karezza” is a term in tantric sexuality that refers to gentle love-making. The focus is on the act itself rather than the goal of orgasm. And when you remove this goal and slow down the speed of sex, it allows you to connect to your body and emotions in a deeper way, as opposed to having someone pounding into you and creating a lot of friction. That isn’t ideal for anyone.

During the Kamakura period, many shrines and temples, which provided for miko, fell into bankruptcy. Some miko started travelling in search of livelihood and came to be known as aruki miko (歩き巫女 lit. walking shrine-maiden). While aruki miko primarily provided religious services, they were also widely associated with prostitution. [66] However, no religious reasons for miko prostitution are known, and hence the act might be unrelated to sacred prostitution. The Hebrew Bible uses two different words for prostitute, zonah (זונה)‎ [33] and kedeshah (or qedesha) (קדשה)‎. [33] The word zonah simply meant an ordinary prostitute or loose woman. [33] But the word kedeshah literally means set apart (in feminine form), from the Semitic root Q-D-Sh (קדש)‎ meaning holy, consecrated or set apart. [33] Nevertheless, zonah and qedeshah are not interchangeable terms: the former occurs 93 times in the Bible, [34] whereas the latter is only used in three places, [35] conveying different connotations.

Face each other, and hold hands if you want to. Look at their left eye, or right eye, or softly gaze into both eyes. Feel the sacredness of this moment. See the divine in your partner. Bring awareness to any emotions that arise for you or if you are averting your gaze. Afterward, slip into something sensual that you keep solely for sex, like a robe, a slip, or whatever else makes you feel good. 7. Meditate We invite all persons involved with the Academy to help us realize a safe and positive environment for everyone.

If you are interested in having spiritual sex, then you have several options. Your first and most important step should be to decide whether you want to explore spiritual sex on your own or with a partner. Like I said in the point above, having an orgasm at the end of sex is not the goal when you’re having spiritual sex. But if you have an orgasm (at any point), bring awareness to the energy created, connect with it, and move it up to your heart.
