definition
"Repression of natural energy breeds perversion; true spirituality honors sexuality, transforming it into a path of awareness and liberation."
According to Osho, no—Christianity isn’t uniquely responsible; repression-based doctrines across religions, especially Hinduism’s exaltation of celibacy (later echoed in Jainism, Buddhism, and Christianity), breed sexual perversion by turning natural energy against itself. He calls celibacy spiritually meaningless and divisive, and recommends tantra: honoring sexuality, joining orgasm with meditation, transforming brief peaks into ongoing awareness without dependence or guilt.
Not only Christianity—any religion that suppresses sex makes people twisted; it’s healthier to accept your nature and use love and orgasm to find calm, clear awareness.
