Where We Conflate Love & Sex

We have the idea that sex without love is profane and yet we do not believe the same about love without sex. We pump up feelings of romance and attachment as a means of avoiding the power of sex. We tell ourselves we are adding when in actuality we are diluting or obscuring the knowing of this force on its terms. There is a raw and true intimacy of human-to-human contact rooted in non-attached connection. We come to see an underlying cultural addiction to attachment, possession, and grasping that is an extension of our ego rather than the ego-dissolving force of raw connection.
