Is there a specific age for women when transcendence of sex occurs?

Synthesized from Source definition

"Transcendence of sex is not bound by age, but by the depth of one's experience; when sexuality is fully embraced, it naturally leads to a higher state of being."

Core Insight:
According to Osho, for women the natural point of sexual transcendence is around forty-two, the same as men, provided her sexuality has been lived freely, lovingly, and without repression since maturity. When fully lived, menstruation and sexual desire naturally fade then; if sex has been suppressed or not total, transcendence is delayed. Orgasm is the first step toward samadhi; live it consciously, then go beyond.
Yes, about age 42 if she has loved and lived her sexuality openly; if it's been suppressed, it takes longer.
Why this matters practically
- Cultivates a guilt-free, healthy approach to sex so natural transcendence can unfold.
- Prioritize love and awareness over repression; use sex as a step toward inner growth.
- Sets realistic timing: don't force 'beyond sex' before fully living it.
