Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity is known around the world, sparked vigorous scientific debate and transformed theoretical physics and astronomy.

How about Einstein’s theory of monogamy? That is not so public.

He had a very unique way of thinking about a lot of things and thought monogamy was an artificial social construct. He married two times — and had several mistresses. 

Sexual desire is the most powerful human desire. Einstein says ‘energy can’t be created or destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another.’

Napoleon Hill describes the mystery of sexual transmutation as “switching of the mind from thoughts of physical expression, to thoughts of some other nature.

The transmutation of sex energy calls for the exercise of will-power and the reward is worth the effort.The desire for sexual expression is inborn and natural. The desire cannot, and should not be submerged or eliminated.

But it should be given an outlet through forms of expression which enrich the body, mind, and spirit. If not given this form of outlet, through transmutation, it will seek outlets through purely physical channels.”

While I understand what Napolean Hill is saying, there is also an altered state of consciousness felt during sex that is sometimes described as “erotic trance.

Have you ever felt high from sex?

Everyone describes this experience differently, as most times it’s very hard to put into words.

I recall an experience whereby, I felt fluid, I felt every cell in my body lighting up – there was a constant flow of electricity going through my entire body and all my senses were intensely aroused.

I felt like I had dissolved into nothing, because I couldn’t feel my body anymore. I felt like I became a beam of light and no longer a physical body.

The sexual act itself lasted no more than 2 minutes, and I didn’t have an orgasm, but it was the most transcendence 2 minutes I have ever experienced.

The affects of this experience lasted for at least 5 days. I was high on life, I experienced clarity and focus like never before, my creativity sparked, I felt at peace, I was so happy.

I think it’s safe to say that many of us crave the kind of sex that transports us to new dimensions into the outer limits of another universe.

Some of us may have had such an experience and had no idea how to describe it, or went into such a state of bliss that we don’t remember.

This type of erotic trance is life changing. It can create a deep peaceful meditative or ecstatic state of pleasure for hours and sometimes days.

It can be a profoundly bonding experience between you and your lover, or even a solo state of bliss within yourself.

The more we learn to surrender into the pleasures of lovemaking the more our smaller conscious and blocking self deceases allowing us to freely reach new heights of our true nature of receiving unexpected pleasure, perhaps because we had no expectations.

Throughout my travels I’ve engaged in many sexual conversations, it’s amazing how many people have had similar indescribable experiences.

These were regular people engaging in regular sex and suddenly experienced an altered state of consciousness without any stimulants, drugs or alcohol. Many of the people who shared their stories also shared that it happened completely by chance.

No one could recall or had any idea they had what they had done differently from other times that could prompt such an overwhelming experience.

The people who practice Tantra are more aware of the subtle energies they can cultivate as they learned in their practice to experience such states of transcendence.

I believe the more we are able to let go of our blocking self consciousness the more we will experience unexpected moments of sexual transcendence. Relax, be in the moment and fully enjoy your travels into the unexplored universe.
