Love and sex are not the same thing! So many people think they know the difference. Yet, when you come right down to the truth, it is easy to mistake one for the other.
Love is a natural instinct. Love makes you feel warm and fuzzy, protected and secure, bigger than life and welcomed in life. When we are loving and being loved, a sense of well-being permeates our entire existence. Love makes us feel totally accepted, totally fulfilled. Love allows us to experience one another at the deepest level of our identity. When we experience love in its fullest and truest form, we want to experience it again and again. In fact, this is what we look for in and expect from our sexual encounters.
Sexual activity is a perfectly natural and normal expression of who we are as human beings. We need not make excuses about our desire to experience ourselves sexually. Our sexual experiences are opportunities to abandon ourselves, our coverings and masks. A sexual encounter is a powerful experience in which bodies can share pleasure, with or without the benefit of intimacy. Because sex feels good, we often mistake our sexual experiences for true giving and receiving of love. We tell ourselves we were in love, that is why we "did it!"
In love, there is a total acceptance of self, and a willingness to give of self without an expectation of receiving anything in return. When you love, you are not afraid to share the truth of who you are, and you accept the truth of others without judgment. Love feels good because it is good, not because of what you do, but because of who you are.
Until today, you may have thought your sexual experiences were true expressions of love. Just for today, devote yourself to giving and receiving the intimacy of love, without physical contact.
