Can sex be transcended without experiencing it?

Synthesized from Source outcome

"You cannot transcend sex without experiencing it, for every cell of your being is born from the dance of male and female; true transcendence arises not from avoidance, but from conscious engagement."

According to Osho, sex cannot be transcended without going through it, because you are already born of sex; every cell carries male–female polarity. Avoiding it only creates repression and perversion; celibacy isn’t transcendence. Move through sexuality consciously—natural, un-neurotic—until the compulsion and the need for the other disappear. That understanding becomes transcendence.
You can’t rise above sex by avoiding it; live it with awareness until it no longer drives you.
Why this matters practically
- Prevents harmful repression and inner conflict.
- Supports mindful, healthy intimacy and self-acceptance.
- Opens a path to freedom from dependency through awareness.
