a paper titled:
Death, Sex,Love and Neuroticism:Why is sex such a problem?
'Terror management theory posits that sex is a ubiquitous human problem because the creaturely aspects of sex make apparent our animal nature , which reminds as of our vulnerability and mortality.
People minimize this threat by investing in the symbolic meaning offered by the cultural wordview. Because people high in neuroticism have difficulty finding or sustaining meaning, sex is a particular problem for them.'
well, this IS an interesting paper.
But it is not only a difficulty for neurotic people, and the paper covers this too in reasonable depth.
it is a difficulty for all humans at our time and age to find a meaning in anything including sex.
we come out of an education and society which both tried to estrange us from ourselves.
none of us can count as non-neurotic, all of us suffer the same history.
instead of finding meaningfulness sex too was consumerized and cannibalized together with our shattered souls.
so let us just live and find joy.and have sex anyway.
and find and keep peace and breath and hope within as much as possible well knowing the restraints of our nature and of meeting each other
ps: i forgot to say that i found the introduction in this paper interesting. the techniques of a so called therapy are irrelevant in the context given above.
nobody can 'heal' this cleft in our stories and life but we ourselves, just centering in being and caring for ourselves . after all deconstruction of walls in our mind, free to another experience
