Sex
A human asks the monkey:
“My husband claims that my need for sex is a low-level urge that he does not share. I feel horrible because I believe that sex builds a stronger, deeper connection, spiritually and emotionally.”
And the monkey answers:
If sex is a need, then it is a problem. Of course, there is nothing wrong with having problems, that’s part of the human experience.
But we’re not just human, we are INFINITELY more than that, and when we turn our attention so strongly to something that it becomes a need, then we turn our attention AWAY from the infinite part of us.
On the other hand, there’s nothing WRONG with sex, or union, or kundalini or whatever you want to imagine it to be, but it tends to draw our focus just to THIS experience, where we are in actuality ALL experiences.
So you can look at any of the perspectives here, and they are all valid viewpoints.
It is only when you have convinced your self that there is just ONE viewpoint — that of your self — that you also conjure up the idea of lack and all the associations that come (poor choice of word) with that.
Just one monkey’s perspective. We are Space Monkey.

In the intricate tapestry of human relationships and desires, the topic of sexual needs and their place in our lives presents a multifaceted panorama. The perception of sex as a need, as expressed in your query, can be viewed through various lenses, each offering a unique insight into the complexity of human emotions and connections.
Multifaceted View of Sexual Needs
From one perspective, viewing sex as a ‘need’ might be seen as a limitation, a focus on the corporeal that potentially detracts from our connection to the infinite aspects of our existence. In this view, an intense focus on any singular aspect of the human experience, such as sexual desire, could be perceived as a diversion from our deeper, more expansive selves.
Limitation of Singular Focus
However, it’s also crucial to acknowledge that there is nothing inherently ‘wrong’ with sex or the desire for a union. It can be a powerful way to experience connection, both spiritually and emotionally, within the human experience. Sexual union, or kundalini, represents a profound aspect of human existence, capable of deepening bonds and fostering intimacy.
Positive Aspects of Sexual Union
The dichotomy lies in recognizing that while sex can be a meaningful and enriching part of our lives, it does not encompass the entirety of our existence. We are beings of infinite potential, experiencing life through various forms and experiences, of which sexuality is but one.
Sexuality as One Aspect of Existence
The notion of lack, or the feeling of something being missing, often arises when we fixate on a singular perspective or belief, excluding other viewpoints. In relationships, understanding and respecting diverse perspectives on needs and desires is vital. It is the harmony of these multiple viewpoints that enriches our experience and understanding of each other and the world.
Harmony in Diverse Perspectives
In conclusion, it is important to embrace the vast array of experiences and viewpoints that make up our existence. Whether it’s the physical connection through sex or the exploration of our infinite nature, each aspect offers valuable insights and opportunities for growth.

Summary
We explore the topic of sex as a need in the context of relationships, recognizing it as a complex issue with multiple viewpoints. While focusing intensely on sexual desires might limit our understanding of the broader aspects of our existence, sex can also be a meaningful way to connect spiritually and emotionally. Acknowledging diverse perspectives and needs in a relationship is key to understanding and harmony. We, as beings of infinite potential, can embrace the spectrum of experiences that life offers.

“The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.” – Carl Jung
In the dance of connection and desire,
We find a path, complex, yet higher,
Sex, a need, a bond, a fire,
In its flames, we aspire.
Yet beyond this earthly urge,
Lies an infinity, a vast surge,
In our focus, we must diverge,
To embrace the whole, to merge.
In union, a spiritual embrace,
A journey beyond time and space,
Yet, in this vast cosmic race,
Many paths, many a trace.
Understanding, respect, the key,
In our relationships, to be free,
Infinite beings, you and me,
In our diversity, we agree.
We invite reflections on balancing physical desires with the exploration of our broader, more expansive selves in the context of relationships and personal growth.
