Horniness Will Save Us In These Times

I'm begging you to let yourself be shamelessly, guiltlessly horny! Let yourself enjoy the lovely sensations of turn on. Allow yourself to be swept up in the pulsation and undulation of blood flowing to your genitals. It's not a sin. It's not a malfunction of your body. In fact, I think it's going to be the one thing that's going to save us in these wild, unprecedented, scary times. Horniness will save us all, if you let it.

AI cannot be horny. And this is why its art will always be just pictures. AI cannot imitate the ache we feel, the rush of hormones we experience, or the satisfaction of finally getting that pleasure. It will never be able create art from that place of lust and passion. So, it will never achieve what we humans can.

Your horniness may feel like a burden to you. It may feel like a distraction, or a waste of time and energy. But I believe that it is the missing key to your healing, your partnership, and your life. Healing without pleasure is just an intellectual game. Your partnership without fire is just a roommate situation. And your life without lust is passionless and futile.

Your sexual energy lights a fire in your creative potential. You've probably had some of your best ideas after some deep, soul-shaking pleasure (I know I have). Or maybe you feel light and expressive after pleasure. Some of you may even feel a connection to Goddess and all living things after some types of pleasure. Yes. That is the flow of creative genius pulsating through your bones.

However, some of you may feel drained, exhausted, uninterested, guilty, or shameful after following the thread of your horniness. First, that's totally normal for the way that our society talks about pleasure. If your pleasure is singularly focused on orgasm, penetration, or disconnection then yeah, that makes a lot of sense you would feel that way. When we watch a screen and let that screen dictate our horniness and pleasure, then yes that's going to feel draining.

But imagine if you were to redirect that energy back up and into your body. Horniness is begging you to reconnect to your body, not stay stuck in your mind. In fact, it damn near demands embodiment! And that doesn't even have to include genital play. It wants pleasure, not necessarily sex. That could be an activation of your hands to create art, your mind to imagine a new world, your eyes to see the beauty in front of you, or yes, your genitals to drop into mind blowing pleasure.

We have to reimagine this relationship to horniness in order to find all the amazing benefits of living from this place. I'm feeling it right now and letting it pulse through my fingers as I write this. It also lets me imagine a different kind of world where people embrace their sexual energy in all aspects of life, and it's beautiful!

Horniness is not an escape, though. It's easy to let pleasure be an escape, especially how media, corporations, religion, and political systems treat it. They profit and flourish when you treat pleasure as an escape, or as something shameful. Suppressing sexual energy is the first step in controlling you, because then you have to find what you've lost through something you have to pay them for. But it's all inside you already. It's all yours for the taking.

And here's a practice for alchemizing your horny potential! But first note, that it's totally ok to use that energy for sex, or self-pleasure. I love doing that! And it can also be easy to fall into a trap there, where every time you feel horny you have to release it through orgasm. Notice if you fall into this pattern, and then try this practice some of the time instead so you can harness all of what horny has to offer, and not just one aspect!

ALCHEMIZING SEXUAL ENERGY

1. You can do this when you first start to feel the energy or horniness coming on, or when you're actively pleasuring yourself. You can even do this without pleasure in public anywhere. Just don't be weird about it. wink

2. Once you tap into the energy start to draw it up your back body and down your front body in the microcosmic orbit. Move energy with this principle: where attention goes energy flows. So, follow your attention in a line up the back body and down the front body. I like to visualize a ball of energy so it keeps my attention.

3. Once you get the hang of the orbit, start to feel the sensations. Energy speaks through sensation. Let yourself feel bathed in this energy, let yourself feel blessed, and alive. If it feels natural start to feel grateful for this energy, the blessing that it is.

4. Remember that you don't have to pursue pleasure just because you're horny. And you certainly don't have to rush towards orgasm because of it. Enjoy the process.

5. Keep sending it through the microcosmic orbit. Feeling maybe how it changes quality as it goes up and back down.

Energy work is subtle! So, if you're new to it you'll have to build the sensitivity to this sensation. It's just about practice and coming back to the principle of where attention goes energy flows. Trust your intuition here, and trust that the sensations you're feeling are the energy moving. Horniness is just an energy, so let it be exactly as it is.

Then after you do this practice, notice what happens, notice how you feel and what you're inspired to do. Maybe after you're inspired to go outside, or paint, or dance! This practice can also slow down sexual pleasure, and allow you to bask in the joy of every inch of it. So, use it with and without pleasure to discover the power of your horniness!

INSPIRED ACTION: You can try the practice right now with or without horniness. Give it a go and notice how it makes you feel. And if you feel numb remember that you just have to learn to resensitize yourself to the energy. Plan to do this 3 times a week to really open up your sensitivity and awaken the lessons of horniness.
