The Sexual Energy Elixir by Caroline Robertson
For centuries Taoism and Tantra have taught that sexuality is a tool to transform the spirit. Now recent research suggests that satisfying sex also has the capacity to heal the body and mind.
Intimacy Immunisation When some of my patients revealed that a good “roll in the hay” eased their symptoms I was intrigued. There was the 40yr old man crippled with arthritis who found masturbation more effective than medication. A woman who sidelined crampy periods with a dose of premenstrual sexual healing and the carpenter who recovered from chronic back pain and depression after trying Taoist love making techniques. Investigating the phenomenon further I discovered a plethora of reports and anecdotal evidence supporting sexual energy as a powerful panacea. One of the most startling scientific experiments found that hamsters copulating freely remained healthy even after being injected with cancer causing drugs while their celibate compatriots dwindled and died from the same toxic injections. We know arousal creates feel good chemicals which is why sex sells but can it cure conditions? Measuring the effects of the “shagadelic state” on brains and bodies has led to revelations that it boosts the immune system, releases powerful painkillers, elevates the mood to orgasmic heights and imparts a youthful glow. In fact, before spending a fortune on wrinkle cream a Scottish study suggests you should consider investing in a bit of nookie. When the research panel guessed the ages of 3,500 people they estimated that those who had more sex looked 7-10 years younger than they actually were. No wonder China�s concubines considered canoodling the “best beauty aid.” High hormones may also be connected with greater longevity according to gerontologist Paul Niehans when after autopsying Thomas Parr who died at 152 discovered his huge testicles a storehouse of abundant hormones. Another 10-year study found that men who had more orgasms had a 50 percent lower death rate than those less sexually active. Conversely, castrated eunuchs of Egypt’s royal harem were found to suffer more illness and age prematurely according to Russian physician Serge Voronoff. Sexual suppression may be linked to certain diseases with an estimated one third of catholic priests dying from prostate problems whereas men who have sex a several times a week were shown to suffer fewer prostate problems.

OH Boy! I could make a joke using most of the words in this post, but I won't. That would demean the intent of the post. all of which I agree. However, I do have something personal to add about the healing properties of sex.
My dog Littlebear (who was never spaded) is having it on with a female dog half his size. Littlebear's penis gets caught between the rails of the balconey on my sister's porch, some 4-to 5 ft above the ground. over the balconey, her body, but not her butt managed to squeeze through, the weight of it all on my little guy's dick. Muscles so tight, it took a garden hose (gawd knows hw long he was hanging there, his dick now nearly ten-inches strtched out---so frightening, (you can imagine) the smaller (much smaller) german shepherd was dangling, TO DISCONNECT THE TWO!
The point of my story? While the sexual energy CAN be healing, it also can be DEVASTATING.
The other point: Let your dog hump whomever he or she wants too. Its healthy. Dogs don't hump cats, lions don't hump zebras, wolves don't hump deer (though pictures seem to look like they are) they snag 'em, bite 'em and eventually kill 'em. Female spiders kill their male partners after seducing them, and so on. HUMANS GOTS TO BE CAREFUL WHO THEY HUMP. (Does make sense to know that you're humping at least the same species first!) Sometimes we find out later, this person really is so diametrically opposed (just the the little german shepherd diametrically, literally situated in the position she was in). HERE"S A TOAST TO MASTERBATION (notice the master instead of mastur) INSTEAD OF COPULATION!!!! ....just to keep the playing field (sometimes wet grass in winter) healthy. (btw---masturbation, homosexuality---a safe means at reducing over-population?....hmm...hmm...)

But a really good "roll in the hay" can do wonders for your psyche, in a way that masturbation cannot. Not that I would know. Or would I? lol Let's just say I'm in REALLY great mood today.....and I've been HEALED! hahahaha! lol.....

Yeah, it did wonders with my psyche, too. Now I don't know where my Psyche has gone? I don't think it would be wise for me to follow Eurydice, Psyche or Orpheus, though. You know where all three of them ended up when they went looking for each other, missing each other so badly

I do believe Psyche was complete dissed by the "girlfriends" because Cupid loved her so much....Psyche was very beautiful, and so was Cupid. The girls all wanted Cupid to themselves, but his heart belonged to Psyche....right? And he was too much of a coward to stand up for his true love, so the women killed Psyche and Cupid died a sad lonely death, always pining for Psyche.....such a shame really......
You'd think we would learn from history.....

I am home, Osiris, but my lady is 6000 miles away, yet she is also home. It is the rainbow of love between particles of light who meet in the eye and ear of the rainbow, make love and return, each one of us back to the pot of gold we both came from, me on one end, she on the other end. Yet our love ontinues to travel back and forth from one end to the other all the time. Our homes, as you well know, (end of the rainbo) can never be found, until we leave them. We also still get to do it in private that way

Mel, how does history record the sound of a tear falling from your cheek or mine? Some answers are found in looking for them and never finding them. You are gifted with another find, that of knowing you don't HAVE to look any farther. Its been looking for you a long time before man was able to see. It IS the songs Orpheus played on his lute that charmed all of his ladies. Here is Killing me Softly with his song:

Here are a few more for the list Wild Dove, Billy holiday, marilynn McCoo, Tina Turner, Gladys Night, that's what friends are for lady, can not think of her name. Everyone you mentioned in your list was a big influence in my musical journey. Just as you said, the list could go on and on.

Dionne Warwick I think. Yup, Gladys Night (too-I WAS MISTAKING her for Dionne Warwick, I believe they both sang the song (even a third one whose name I can't remember sang it together) was next on my list, also Billie Holliday (Nina Simone sings her version of Holliday's Strange Fruit--which I believe Billie wrote herself), then of course there's the incomparable Ella, the incomparably foxy, sexy as well, Anita Baker:
Plus, Sarah Bernhard, Dinah Washington, Enya and, and, and.....
(The list for male songsters isn't very long, for me.) But it definately includes Sting, BB King, Ray Charles, Billy Joel, Tom Waites, Low Rawls, Joe Cocker, Harry Connick Jr. and Nat King Cole. The PBS show couple of months ago (the fund-raiser-2 hour show with Sting, Groban and the incredible Chris Botti on the sax), literally took me to places I had never been... the harmonies extraordinary between the three men AND Yo-yo mon (sp?) classical cellist....

Wild Dove, I can see that we share a love of music, funny you mention Ella Fitz. I have her music also. I go back as far as 1920's in my music and I am thankful to my Mom for sharing and teaching me music.

And then there is Dick Haymes. I met and lived with his lover for several years and got to hear some of Haymes unpublshed songs...Did you know he actually was used, had his voice substituted for Judy Garland many times when she was too doped up to fill her contracts..... To have that deep bass voice reaching that female contralto/soprano sound you can't tell the difference, is a remarkable range:

"...In like manner, Thou bringeth INTO BEING Souls...yoking sublime to frail vehicles..finding the Light, opening wide thine eyes, scattering the mists and the heaviness of the earthly mass, shining forth THINE OWN SPLENDOUR; for Thou art the Serene, that tranquil resting place of the steadfast. By a kindly law, Thou makest me to return to Myself by virtue of your native fire. Grant me, O Father, to climb to that august abode, at once the beginning, the carrier, the guide, the pathway and the end. -Boethius, AD 475-
