Ask Osho!

Isn't sex animalistic?

Synthesized from Source definition

"Sex can be a bridge to the ultimate; when infused with awareness and love, it transcends mere instinct and becomes a sacred experience."

According to Osho, sex can be animalistic, because man is also animal, but it need not remain so. Human freedom makes sex a raw possibility: it can degrade into mere instinct or evolve into love, prayer, even samadhi. Recognize your animality, bring awareness and heart into sex, and it becomes a bridge to the ultimate rather than a fall.
Sex is just an energy—if you add awareness and love, it can lift you up instead of pull you down.
Why this matters practically
- Transforms guilt and repression into conscious, loving connection.
- Turns sexual energy into a path for growth, intimacy, and meditation.
- Encourages choosing awareness over compulsion in moments of desire.
