Sex, Sensuous, Sensual, Erotic

A thousand sensual feelings are emitted and at once sending out waves of climaxes which
thrill the mind to even greater heights.

All sexual ecstasy has a quality of self-abandonment, of surrender to a force greater than
the ego.

An openness of attention to each others thoughts can be as sexually “charged” as
physical contact.

Beyond the play of the penis in the vagina lies the play of the organism in its
environment.

Compared with sex under LSD, the way you’ve been making love, no matter how ecstatic
the pleasure you think you get from it, is like making love to a department-store-dummy.

“Drug” means positive things, possible growth, opening up the mind, beauty, sensual
awareness, religious revelation.

Each molecule is a heavenly octopus with a million floating jeweled tentacles hungry to
merge. Driven by internal pressure, sexual in nature, towards union.

Forms and colors of abstract visions can be perceived as lascivious and obscene or very
sensuous, sexually stimulating and seductive.

If no attempt is made to induce the orgasm by bodily motion, the interpenetration of the
sexual centers becomes a channel of the most vivid psychic exchange.

In addition to being instruments of philosophic revelation, mystical unity and
evolutionary insight, psychedelic drugs are very powerful aphrodisiacs.

Irrational, senile legislation preventing people from pursuing private, intimate
experiences—sexual or spiritual— cannot and will not be obeyed.

Alan Ginsberg said that the first time that he
turned on to women was during an LSD session.

Our Judeo-Christian heritage has denied the connection between sensuous life-affirming
wildness and the experience of the sacred.

Sexual activities can become freer, and potency in men, as well as orgasmic ability in
both sexes is often greatly augmented.

Sexual arousal can reach an unusually high degree and can be expressed in scenes of
orgies, sexual perversions or rhythmic sensual dances. (eyes closed)

Sexual energies will be unimaginably intensified and it will lead to a deeper experience
than ever thought possible.

Sexual intercourse on the session day can become the most powerful experience of this
sort in the subject’s life.

Sexual love may be transformed into a type of worship in which the partners are for each
other, incarnations of the divine.

Some female subjects have experienced the penetration by the sun as sexual, speaking of
the sun as a “cosmic lover” or using other words to that effect.

Strange mental results occur when the sex act is deliberately slowed down, prolonged
sexual unions.

The animality of the mystic is always richer, more refined and more subtly sensuous than
the animality of the merely animal man.

The dancing playful flow of life is, in the most reverent sense, sexual forms merging,
spinning together, reproducing.

The full splendor of sexual experience does not reveal itself without a new mode of
attention to the world in general.

The hippies raising questions about alternate realities was ontological promiscuity and
probably more threatening than their erotic looseness.

The increased sensitivity and awareness enhances the pleasurable aspects of sexual
experience.

The more expanded your consciousness, the farther out you can move beyond your mind,
the deeper, the richer, the longer and more meaningful your sexual communion.

The orgasmic feeling, if felt deeply and strongly enough in sex, always includes an
element of self-transcendence, or release.

The religions of the world either worship sex or repress it; both attitudes proclaim its
centrality. To understand the mysteries, always look for what is veiled.

The sexual mores of Asian cultures are in many ways far more liberal than ours and the
association of sexuality with sin is rare indeed.

This most intimate of relationships of the self with another, sex, would naturally become
one of the chief spheres of spiritual insight and growth.

This spiritual craving seems to be more basic and compelling than the sexual drive, and if
it is not satisfied it can result in serious psychological disturbances.

To the degree that we do not yet know what man is, we do not yet know what human
sexuality is.

You can no more do research on LSD and leave out sexual ecstasy than you can do
microscopic research on tissue and leave out cells.

A good experience with the drugs heightens and intensifies all experience and just as one
can enjoy music and art during the experience with a new and deeper appreciation, so one
can do the same with sex—it can be a beautiful experience under the drug.

A sexual partner may change in age or appearance, take on the features of mythical and
historical figures, and sometimes come to represent all men, all women, or natural
features like landscapes, rivers and oceans.

According to Freud, our best and highest aspirations are merely symptoms of neurosis.
He defines genius as nothing more than sublimated sexual drives, and our subconscious
as a sewer inhabited by monsters and vile incestrous desires.

All living things are throbbing together. One is joyfully aware of the 2 billion year old
electric sexual dance. One is at last divested of robot clothes and limbs and undulates in
the endless chain of living forms.

An enormous amount of energy from every fiber of your body is released under LSD,
most especially including sexual energy. There is no question that LSD is the most
powerful aphrodisiac ever discovered by man.

As the sexual activity continues and the drug takes greater hold on you, the sensations
intensify. The penis feels bigger, stiffer and strangely “rubbery.” Sensations of pleasure
expand to more areas of the body than usual.

Before taking LSD, I never stayed in a state of sexual ecstasy for hours on end, but I have
done this under LSD. It heightens all of your senses and it means that you’re living the
sexual experience totally. Each caress or kiss is timeless.

Before the invention of Christianity, sex was more often identified with religion than sin.
(It is questionable whether sex was ever identified with sin before the coming of
Christianity, but there is no question that sex was identified with religion.)

Bodily contact is probably the most effective method of softening hardened surfaces.
Your blood begins to flow into the other person’s body. You both drift down the capillary
river.

Every woman has built into her cells and tissues the longing for a hero, sage-mythic
male, to open up and share her own divinity. But casual sexual encounters do not satisfy
this deep longing. (That was Timothy Leary.)

If drugs can change the way in which the brain sees, hears, smells and assembles
meaningful form out of the chaos of sensation, they can also radically transform the
nature of sexual feeling.

If you get with yourself, get with gravity, get with energy, following its line of least
resistance, you will discover that all the vibrations of nature are ecstatic, erotic or blissful.
Existence is orgasm.

Individuals can feel that prior to the experience they had never really seen colors, smelled
the variety of fragrances and odors, tested the infinite nuances of food, or experienced the
sensual potential of their bodies.

Is it possible to celebrate the union of Heaven and Earth in a religion which has
consistently held that sexual love is disgusting and sinful except between married couples
for the sole purpose of reproduction?

Male-female union is a natural biological and physiological vehicle for transcendent
experiences, a merging which can be more complete and intertwined than they had ever
dreamed possible.

Religious, mystical, visionary states are powerful and wonderful—they open the doors of
perception, polish our sensory lenses, shake up our autonomic nervous system, and get
our hormones swinging—but they’re intimate and precious.

Saying that a drug experience can precipitate a psychosis is not the same as saying that
drugs cause psychosis. We do not say that sex and college cause psychosis even though
we commonly see that both can trigger it.

Sexual union that occurs in the context of a powerful emotional bond can take the form of
a profound mystical experience. All individual boundaries seem to dissolve and the
partners feel reconnected to their divine source.

Since the crisis in Christian culture is mainly sexual, we should not be surprised that
sexual elements are very prominent in the unconscious channels opened by the Drug
Revolution. These channels are a traditional part of religion outside Christianity, anyway.

Subjects see new dimensions in the universe, have strong feelings of being an integral
part of creation and tend to regard ordinary things in everyday life—such as meals, walks
in nature, playing with children or sexual intercourse—as sacred.

The brain replaced the genitals as the forbidden organ that must not be touched or turned
on by the owner. The only way in which consciousness-change experiences could be
discussed was in terms of philosophic-religious.

The grasping approach to sexuality destroys its gaiety before anything else, blocking up
its deepest and most secret fountain. For there is no other reason for creation than pure
joy.

The Hindus, the Moslems, the Buddhists, the Taoists, all the major religions have had
their sexual mystics and have honored them. Christianity is alone in thinking that sex is
entirely the Devil’s business and an offense to God.

The psychedelic drug doesn’t mean doctor-disease, dope fiend-crime or instant insanity
but ecstasy, sensual unfolding, religious experience, revelation, illumination, contact with
nature.

There is a state of consciousness in which the erotic no longer has to be sought or
pursued because it is always present in its totality. In this state all relationship and all
experience is erotic.

When you sit across the room from a woman during an LSD session, you’re aware of
thousands of penetrating messages floating from her through the air into your sensory
center, grenades of eroticism exploding.

You haven’t eaten, you haven’t tasted, you haven’t fucked, you haven’t seen colors, your
fingers haven’t touched rock and soil until you’ve had acid and then you know you’re
alive and you know what life is.

Evolutionary memories have specific experiential characteristics; they are distinctly
different from human experiences and often seem to transcend the scope and limits of
human fantasy and imagination. The individual can have, for example, an illuminating
insight into what it feels like when a snake is hungry, when a turtle is sexually excited.

Review of psychedelic literature shows that favorable results have been reported in a
wide variety of clinical problems, including depressions, phobias and other types of
psychoneuroses, psychosomatic diseases, character disorders, sexual deviations, criminal
behavior, alcoholism, narcotic drug addiction, and even psychoses.

Sometimes, there is very little actual perceptual distortion of the environment, but the
latter is emotionally interpreted in an unusual way. It can appear incredibly beautiful,
sensual and inviting; or comical; very frequently, it is described as having a magical or
fairy-tale quality.

The craving for and contact with transcendental realities can be more powerful than the
sexual urge. Throughout human history, countless individuals have been willing to take
enormous risks of various kinds and to sacrifice years or decades of their lives to spiritual
pursuits.

The current preoccupation with these latter-day mind modifiers ranges from a hedonistic
sensuality to a search for the highest of philosophical abstractions, from a tool for
deriving scientific data to a sacrament taken to achieve loss of self and union with the
All.

The height of sexual love, coming upon us of itself, is one of the most total experiences
of relationship to the other of which we are capable, but prejudice and insensitivity have
prevented us from seeing that in any other circumstances such delight would be called
mystical ecstasy.

There are myths of the creation of the world through the cutting up of some primordial
being, of its division into heaven and earth, into the multiplicity of things or into the 2
sexes— from which follows the generation of offspring. Thus many mythologies
envisage the goal of life as the “rememberment” of the original “dismemberment.”

An individual can experience scenes from famous red-light and night club districts of the
world, participate in the most ingenious strip shows and group orgies, become part of
Babylonian religious ceremonies involving indiscriminate promiscuous sex or witness
and partake of wild primitive rituals with sensual rhythmic dances and a strong sexual
undertone. (eyes closed)

Emotions are caused by biochemical secretions in the body to serve during the state of
acute emergency. The person in an emotional state is an inflexible robot gone berserk, a
blind crazed maniac and is turned off sensually. (This really refers to negative emotions
during normal waking consciousness, not the positive emotions which are part of the
LSD experience.)

I developed a whole theory of evolution based on psychedelics, saying that the critical
factor in moving advanced primates into being primitive human beings was the presence
of psilocybin, which improved acuity, thus improving hunting, stimulated sexual appetite,
and bifurcating consciousness, offering a choice between the static and a fantasized
alternative. (That was Terence McKenna.)

Modern consciousness research has confirmed the basic thesis of perennial philosophy
that the consensus reality reveals only one aspect or fragment of existence. There are
important realms of reality that are transcendental and transphenomenal. The impulse in
human beings to connect with the spiritual domain is an extremely powerful and
important force. It resembles, in its nature, sexuality.

We were dealing with a powerful aphrodisiac, probably the most powerful sexual releaser
known to man. The effect was sensory—contact was intensified thousand-fold but also
deeper. The union was not just your body and her body but all of your racial and
evolutionary entities with all of hers. It was mythic mating. Neurological union. Cellular
sex. Archetypes merging. It was the direct reliving of thousands of matings.

The summer of 1967 was known as the “Summer of Love” and saw a great emergence of
unstructured communal living, new found sexual freedoms, and growing interest in
eastern philosophy and religion. Displays of spontaneity, trust, non-possessiveness and
non-evaluativeness among the new arrivals were attempts to deal with what was
commonly thought to be hypocriticalness, rigid adherence to rules and a lack of
emotional spontaneity between people.

Absence of rush gives a very new and different approach to sexual relations.
All body contact becomes sexual.
Before taking LSD, I had all but lost interest in sex.
Drugs stimulate quiet, humorous, sensual, reflective responses.
Every cell in the body is sensed as involved in orgiastic creativity.
His religious and sexual interests could be combined. It’s an ancient union.
It heightens the capacity for introspection and intimacy.
Individuals sometimes spend hours in overwhelming sexual ecstasy.

It gives pleasure of a very sensual type.
It provokes a more sensual or aesthetic kind of concentration.
Making love under LSD is really where it’s at.
New forms of sexual experience are reported.
One of the great purposes of an LSD session is sexual union.
Orgasm is boundary-dissolving.
Physical union can be one expression or manifestation of cosmic union.
Psychedelic drugs not only enhance sexuality but transforms it.
Psychedelic drugs slow and magnify the sex act.
Psychedelic experience is by nature private, sensual, spiritual, internal, introspective.
Sensuality and spirituality are not truly opposed.
Sex is a matter for laughter.
Sex is sacred.

Sexual experiences and behavior can be deeply influenced by the LSD experience.
Sexual relations are religious, social, metaphysical and artistic.
Sexuality is a radiance.
The aphrodisiac effect is astounding in its intensity.
The essence of ecstasy, religion and orgasm is that you give up power and swing with it.
The sensual orgy of sexual intercourse can undergo unimaginable enhancements.
The sex act can become an event of cosmic grandeur.
The sexual impulse is not simply a biological drive, but also a divine, spiritual force.
The sexual orgasm has lost much of its mystical meaning in the West.
There are no books written by scientists about ecstasy and cosmic orgasms.
There can be no political revolution without a sexual revolution.
Touch becomes electric as well as erotic.
When sex and LSD converge, the experience is said to be indescribably ecstatic.
Without—in its true sense—the lustiness of sex, religion is joyless and abstract.

He and the room take on the quality of the music, erotic, the deep mystery of images
complete in themselves.

I can feel myself fusing with the other person. It is difficult to know even anatomically
what part of myself is me and what part is the woman.

Each color seemed to carry its own feeling tone, oranges, reds and yellows expansive and
sexual, blues and greens, cool, serene and rational.

It became a tactile experience of a kind that overshadowed any love-making I had known
before.

It was like looking at the world for the very, very first time and thinking, how beautiful,
how sensuous.

Margaret said she felt like a monkey. Not only did she feel like one, she was a male
monkey, and she had an erection, and she felt it and she knows what it feels like.

One felt perfect communication going on, a kind of direct interchange. It was like an
intense and overwhelming orgasmic immersion.

The delight and pleasure I received from that orange, the sheer sensuality of it, was
absolutely overwhelming, and intoxicating and…joyous!

The eyes, ears, nose and skin all become avenues of erotic communion, not just with
other people, but with the whole realm of nature.

The women changed toward ideal pictures or representatives of the sensuous temptress or
the Madonna.

There was an overwhelming and continuous, vibrating, sensuous, erotic-orgasmic feeling
and expression of ecstasy.

A merging. I couldn’t tell which of us was which. I was in her body and she in mine. It
was incredible and when I finally came, it was like no orgasm I ever had before. It was
my whole body.

The intensity of the love feelings caused sexual hungers and reactions to be markedly
heightened. Intercourse took on such depth of meaning as to have a religious
significance.

There was more than music: the entire room was saturated with sounds that were also
feelings—sweet, delicious, sensual—that seemed to be coming from somewhere deep
down inside me. I became mingled with the music, gliding along with the chords.

I experienced a wave of extraordinary bliss, like a full-body orgasm, and the sense I was
in the presence of something absolutely awesome. Sex is nothing compared to the ecstasy
I felt at that moment. I had no awareness of my body or ego or time, only a profound
sensation of illumination and the feeling I was in the presence of ALL That Is, eternity,
God, whatever you might call something all-encompassing.

Grapes and bananas tasted most delicious in a very rich and sensuous way.
I achieved transcendent sexual fulfillment.
I became Cleopatra, sensuous, beautiful, experiencing orgasmic ecstasy. (eyes closed)

The relationship of each being to the whole was somehow religious and also sexual.
The ultra sensuality of this plant was overwhelming. I was floored.
We were loving and the vibes were getting very intense.
