What is upside-down about sex?
I'm posting this blog about sex because I believe it is an area
in our lives severely influenced by attitudes that have caused all
kinds of ravages to the human spirit, when really, it is meant to
be one of the most beautiful forms of union, reunion, and communion
between people.
The damage has been done and continues to be done in some very
subtle ways. In 2006, we live with both extremes, from the proliferation
of more and more violent pornography to the many forms of subversive
Victorian-era style prudishness that still exist within most cultures,
including the complete veiling of women in some parts of the world.
But if you dare open the subject with just about anyone, the truth
is, people LOVE sex! They want it and they're grateful for it and
they wish they could do it more often, sometimes with more people,
or in different ways. Because it feels good to be so close to another
human being... to break through the barrier of apparent aloneness
and reconnect with the Oneness of the universe... and it happens
directly in your actual body!
Unfortunately, both extremes tend to stop this from happening,
and the many-colored in-betweens of the ordinary people you and
I all know are filled with their own inner contradictions on the
subject, depending on the views they grew up with and their willingness
to change them, and how.
In the middle, there's a simple truth. In my opinion, it comes
down to love. Sex is possible without love, and love without sex,
but sex shared with love is the most beautiful, soulful meeting
possible. To unravel all the things that get in the way of experiencing
love during sex and in life in general, we're each given our lifetime
to practice.
And if this discussion gets to include love, (which it does seeing
as I get to do all the talking), well then I can blog away for a
lifetime.

To answer Nick's question: "How do you draw those?"
They are traced from photographs using a graphics tablet and Macromedia
Flash MX, then colored in just like with wax crayons in kindergarten,
except on the computer screen (less messy). The self-portraits are
exactly that; the scenes of sexual encounters are most often images
taken from porn sites.
