What is the difference between great sexual suppression and freedom from sex?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"True freedom from sex is not found in suppression, but in the natural flow of life and meditative awareness, where love becomes a doorway to higher consciousness rather than a prison of compulsion."
According to Osho, suppression of sex intensifies hidden fascination—antagonism is merely interest upside down—so the repressed remain haunted and controlled by sex. Freedom from sex arises not by condemnation but by natural, unrepressed living and meditative awareness: taste the let-go, be possessed by life, and ascend rung by rung until sex loses urgency on its own. Then contentment replaces compulsion; love becomes doorway, not prison.
Why this matters practically
- Reduces obsessive thoughts and guilt, bringing ease in relationships.
- Shifts energy from compulsion to creativity, love, and meditation.
