Depends on if your a repressed catholic or not.

God plays a big role in my sex life. I call his name repeatedly in appreciation of this neat thing called sex he thought up.

Does spirituality play a role in your sex life? No Not really..

Does it enhance it? Nope sorry

Is sex itself, a spritual act? Not that I know of, Ithought it was a Biological act of Reproduction...

being a catholic is great , you can do anything you want as long as you feel guilty afterwards

I'm not catholic and YES sex is spiritual for me. After all it is a gift from the creator. I for one want Him to know just how very thankful I am and that it is a gift I use often.

So nobody, by that definition oral sex, anal sex, cyber sex. mastrabation, et al. are all failed attempts at reproduction. practice perhaps. hmmm. i wonder.

I'm a spiritual person, but I don't necessarily relate it to a specific act, such as having sex. However, I do thank "whoever" for the people in my life, including the man I'm in love with.

I do find it interesting that some of the posts so far mention "catholic" (which wasn't mentioned in the original post). (So much for the power of "catholic guilt"!) I too am a survivor of catholic education (12 long years of it), but the spirituality I live by now is not determined by any specific religion.

Good thred, Alltherage. Hope you share YOUR thoughts with us too!

Anytime you cum it is not a failed attempt at pleasure!

JennyOmanHill - thank you

why does one go straight to the bible when your mention the word "Spiritual"

From the Wesbster:

1. of the spirit or the soul. as distinguised from the body

2. of, from or concerened with the intellect, or what is often thought of as the better or higher part of the mind

3. of or consisting of spirit; not corporeal

4. characterized by the accendancy of the spirit: showing much refinement of thought and feeling.

Just to add.....this is not the complete... but should add to the meaning.

Take a good look at the American Indian......I think they have a few "Spiritual" thoughts......some rather good I may add.

So with than in mind.......The spritual link I have during any sexual act.......is that of pleasure......and hope that my spirit has given pleasure to the other party.

My first true love

I was close friends with a young lady for two years. I became madly in love with her.

The time came when she invited me into her bed. We spent the night enjoying each other.

In the morning she heard a song on the radio that somehow turned on the Catholic guilt. She started freaking out, that she had sinned, put us before God.

We stayed friends for a little while longer. I still loved her but she was too guilt ridden. We parted ways. Twenty some odd years later I still have warm feelings towards her. On occasion I search through the web looking for her. No luck. Maybe someday...

My thoughts on this are really very simple. I do see the link. I had, at one time in my life, a very deep and satisfying relationship with a woman. One night, after a particularly intense orgasmic love making session we were talking. She described our orgasms as something we created in each other. Created. To me, there are times when sex is creation, and uniquely special to the parties involved. I do know that there is a difference between making love and fucking. I dont find that spiritual link to be as strong if all i am doing is fucking. If i am making love then i find there are times when sex is transendent. I never have felt a twinge of guilt after making love, but i often have felt guilt after fucking. I always feel happy and energized after making love, but have often felt regret after fucking. There is no biological explaination for this.

To the degree that sex is uplifting, the expression of love, an act of creation, a sharing of self, and a connection to another beyond the physical i have to say yes that sex is spiritual.
