Actually "oneness" does not imply "whoring" as actually right considering all sexuality is "transfer". A person loses, or projects, a part of themselve through sexual intercourse effectively dividing themselves.
When the people take care of eachother this projection brings back an inherent unity to the situation. Divide, rejoin. However that is not the case with "whoring". The other person either leaves, becomes unavailabe, etc. causing a further degree of division.
People's emotional states become divided between extremes of ups/down causing instability.
The offspring are not unified with there parents.
Etc.
Sexuality is a process of divergence and convergence. When a person loses themselves to another, and the other "leaves" or does not maintain a reciprocal relationship, then a process of fragmentation occurs.
Sexuality is rooted in creation as well, when the creative aspect is taken out (maintaining the relationship, children, etc.) then "unity" is lost as "unity" observes a perpetual creation through time. Sexuality is "joining" as well.
So in sex a part of oneself is lost, and joined to another. Joining it to multiple people just causes further fragmentation, physically, emotionally, etc.
You realize you’re making all of this up, right?
Why is it
divide rather than
build? Why is it
loss rather than
gain? Do you think your gene/energy pool needs to be kept “pure” in its initial state? What if you have a defect that can only be transformed through the energy exchange with others?
I do not see any harmful effects to me, nor detriment to my life, from my “exchanges” with others throughout my life. (What kind of messed up dynamic would that be?) Exchanging love and having fun seem like sacred and respectful celebrations of this life of forms and sensation.
A person’s “intent” and “spirit” seem to be key on how they are integrating and balancing all of it. Being genuine and present in the moment is a wonderful thing -- which must surely be a healing elixir for us on many levels. Connection seems totally natural and efficient to me.
You change the word "whore" with "free spirit" but there is no freedom in lust...it is just bondage and slavery to an ever dying world. It is justified and "true" when transmuted to love, when it is transmuted to creation.
What you call "fun" is just low grade hedonism. A higher and fuller pleasure, one for which we (including myself), should all strive for is one of agape. Lust can be transmuted to this, but observing the human condition as strictly one of "playing with oneself" is strictly a degradation of not just the "body" (the temple of the divine spark, the "logos" or "atman") but a degradation of any sense of true real love.
We are all raised, both men and women, to view the other as an object of gratification...but it does not work when takes the time to look into the other's eyes, eyes which embody the divine sphere of being itself.
Exchanging "love" is sacred, and "fun" is sacred, but if you need to use the other person's body to do it...what type of love is that? There is nothing genuine about "whoring"...it is one extreme over another (prudishness). Both are harmful...both are wrong.
Those "connections"...are they really connections when you are dividing the human constitution? To please the body, but to forget the "immortal soul"? You are fooling yourself.
If you cannot accept the person you are with fully, faults and all, to suffer with them...to feel joy with them then your connection is not real.
Each person is infinite as an image of Divine Reason, a universe unto themselves, and that must be embraced. To "whore' around...is to avoid the infinite and true within each person...to run away.
You want to separate eros from agape from philios...but they are all one and the same in the relationship between man and woman. Sex is valuable. Sex is the closest thing to divinity we can observe. Why? Because it is when two opposite join and "create".
You argue for death.
You argue for distraction.
You claim "value" and "love", but what you argue for is desolation. If all you can do is offer an orgasm, first you are shorting and limiting yourself and what you can offer...second you are just destroying sex by idolizing it. All value is not just found in proper timing, but keeping the self in its proper placement. If you don't believe me, then just look at sex itself...if it is not "naturally" creative by nature...then why need birth control?
