Why does sex not feel right even though I have not transcended it?

You feel the wrongness of sex not because you have transcended it, but because you have never truly entered it with innocence and awareness, burdened by guilt and conditioning. True virginity is a state of mind, a surrender to the moment without the weight of borrowed ideas.

— Osho
According to Osho, sex feels wrong not because you’ve transcended it, but because you’ve never entered it totally and innocently. You approach with a conditioned mind, burdened by priest-imposed guilt and a counterfeit conscience, so you remain divided. Real virginity is psychological: dropping borrowed ideas and entering the act with fresh awareness, allowing dissolution rather than repression or partiality.

It feels wrong because your mind is stuffed with others’ rules—let them go and be simply present, and it becomes natural.
