Ask Osho!

What should I do about my longing for sex at seventy years old?

Synthesized from Source practice

"Embrace your sexual longing without shame, for it is a natural and divine part of your being; only through acceptance can the energy transform and free you from obsession."

According to Osho, first accept your sexual longing without shame or repression; it’s natural, even divine. Your struggle exists because you’ve repressed it for decades—the repressed grows stronger while the repressor weakens. Drop borrowed religious guilt and say a wholehearted yes to your sexuality. Only through conscious acceptance can the energy relax and you naturally move beyond obsession or compulsion.
Stop fighting your desire; kindly accept it, and it will calm down instead of controlling you.
Why this matters practically
- Reduces obsessive thoughts created by repression.
- Dissolves shame from cultural or religious conditioning.
- Opens a peaceful, mature relationship with sexuality and the possibility of natural transcendence.
