Last night in the astral world, a friend asked about the time when a person may stop sexual intercourse in an old body.
I could not answer the inquiry at the time. I just laughed. What a question? I remember when I lived in Port Charlotte Florida some years ago around 2002. There was a report in a local newspaper that in Sarasota, Florida, there were swinging clubs for persons who were between 65 and death. 65 is the average age for retirement in the United States. This club was for retirees and it was an arrangement for meeting to have sexual intercourse in an elderly body.
So when should someone lose interest in this behavior?
Well your guess is as good as mine.
It depends on your culture and needs. For instance, where my body grew up in South American, the concept of having sex after 65 was just not in vogue. Nobody was thinking like that and nobody was expecting that as a privilege. Culturally it was taboo but people also did not expect to use an old body in that way. But there was an instance in my own family where I found out that some of the old-timers were considering the possibility.
An old Aunt of mine, a great aunt, had once brought it to my attention that her husband my great uncle, could not perform sexually after he was about 55 and she was distressed about it and resented him for it. He had what is now called sexual dysfunction. When the old lady told me that I was very surprised but I pretended that the statement did not jolt me.
In the skill of the kundalini yoga I practice, sexual indulgence is an unwanted feature except when it is done to beget children which will cause one’s karmic obligation to be paid off. Besides using sex for generating progeny, classic yoga, Patanjali yoga has no use for sexual indulgence.
But there are sects for tantric yoga and kundalini yoga which give process for increasing sexual pleasure, prolonging it and enjoying it to the maximum. There are also subtle dimensions in the astral world where people engage in sexual intercourse for days, weeks or months even continuous. It all depends on what interest and culture one develops as one transmigrates.
As far as doing it for the natural pleasure which it provides, in kundalini yoga we use the energy to get the pleasure in the head of the subtle body, by moving it up the spine. We consider the head pleasure to be a higher pleasure and so we are eager to use it there. If the hormone energy and life force energy are mixed and then used for sex expression, they cannot be used for pleasure in the head. This is why yogis are concerned to conserve it from sexual usage.
Both sex pleasure and the pleasure of risen kundalini in the head are pleasure. Look at these terms and note that ananda is the end of each word:
prajananda = prajaa (begetting) + ananda (bliss pleasure)
brahmananda + brahma (spirit) + ananda (bliss pleasure)
A yogi is interested in brahmananda or spiritual pleasure. To increase that the yogi avoids sex pleasure expression.
So the question of when to stop at what age of the body, would hinge on a person’s needs and desires.
I have explained in my books that it is the same kundalini which expresses itself though sex pleasure which is used to trigger spiritual pleasure. It might be hard to understand that sex pleasure is conducted by the kundalini, but I am insisting on that.
A sure way to shut down one’s third eye if it is functional and open, is to get involved in sexual pleasure. So it is a matter of making up one’s mind about one’s objective and also one should note the effects of one’s activities and make decisions accordingly. Of course sex pleasure is a basic instinct and even if one desires not to be involved with it, one’s decision might prove to be ineffective because of the impulsive force of nature, which does on occasion force one to go against one’s will.
