According to Osho, suffering persists because suppression breeds obsession: celibacy without meditation traps you in fantasies. Sexual thoughts aren’t “bad”; moral condemnation turns natural energy into inner war. Recognize sex-energy as your basic vitality and transform it through awareness, not repression—meditation converts the same force into spirituality, a fragrance, ending fixation.
If you just try to stop sex without meditating, the thoughts get louder; don’t hate them—watch them, and let meditation turn that energy into something higher.
