There is no connection between sexual liberalism and being a hippy.
I'm 100% sexual liberal, but I'd still like to punch some sense into hippies. Ugh.
I'm a hippy and I am not sexually liberal.
I am not sexually liberal because I notice sex comes in two packages.
The first is physical which we are all familiar with, and indeed some of us take precautions against physical infection.
And the second package is psychological. And being invisible is hard to see. And very few of us take precautions against psychological infection.
And yet most of us are familiar with the cynical truism not to have sex with someone who has more problems than oneself. And like most truisms, it contains a grain of truth.
But what we are most blind to is that we are transformed every time we have sex. We are obviously transformed physically by the foreplay, the plateau, the orgasm and the afterglow. But the psychological transformation that comes with the physical transformation is far less obvious.
And the fact is we can be transformed for the better or for the worse.
In physical transformation we take on some of the physical characteristics of our lover. And in psychological transformation, we take on some of the psychological characteristics of our lover.
We readily use prophylactics to protect ourselves physically but we don't think to protect ourselves psychologically.
But it is worse than mere protection, for we don't have a plan for transformation.
But what you might ask would a plan for sexual transformation look like?
Well it might look like Tantric Sex.
We all know that what we eat today walks and talks tomorrow. Well, our appetite for sex leads us in the same direction.
And it is a very good idea to know where we are going and who we are going with.
