Sex is such an important part of life.

It is not my intention to sound Freudian, but after all as a human behavior it is often the fulcrum and the gravitational center of countless other behaviors. Evolutionary psychologists would have us believe that all of our arts and society evolved from primitive mating rituals. Similar to this Bower Bird structure. These are not nests, they don’t rear offspring here. They merely do this to attract a mate.

I would tend to agree with these pioneers of science. We probably did evolve all of our sophistication from sexual impulses. I also believe that the thing can come full circle. Sexual impulses can be manipulated in order to produce higher levels of sophistication.

Enter sex magick. The basis of Thelemic magick as developed by Aleister Crowley, the basis of Tantra, the basis of at least one major sect of Gnosticism I have found online, probably the basis of the magick of many ancient secret societies.

At least this is the prejudice of advocates of sex magick, which include myself.

What is sex magick? I have done a lot of reading and listening to lectures to try to answer this question for myself. Let me first say that any answer I can give will be an understatement.

Sex magick is a trick by which humans can tap unto previously unknown levels of awareness and energy for any desired outcome. Nope, that one is an understatement.

Let me try again.

Sex magick is the use, conservation, and willful release of sexual energy and sexual force in the pursuit of deeper outcomes than low energy forms of sexual gratification. Still an understatement.

Probably the worst understatement of all is that sex magick is the saving up of sexual energy for other goals.

I could write a whole post on what’s wrong with the above definition, yet all of these contain some truth in the matter.

When I call myself a novice please don’t interpret that as an excuse to patronize. I am just beginning my research into sex magick, and what little I have discovered has already transformed my life.

First let me address a major problem which prevents us from truly opening our third eyes to this wisdom. That problem is that society is, generally speaking, sex negative. We live in a world where sex is considered dirty, things associated with sex are censured, and public discussion of sex is considered to be in bad taste. Society represses sexuality.

Don’t get me wrong, I am not 100% permissive. There are sexual behaviors such as rape and pedophilia which are abhorrent. But the repression of sexuality enforced by our sex negative culture actually prevents the development of good sexual ethics, instead the individual is left to pursue impulses in secret with very little useful guidance offered.

I envision a healthy society where sexuality is treated like education, art, family, fraternity, and trade as another crucial aspect of a healthy pro-social existence. I believe that we dismissed the sexual revolution to early. I believe that this creates psychological problems for our society as a whole.

Again, I promise I am not Freudian. I am just opposed to all manner of backwardness.

In my own experiences sexual energy is easily dismissed. Especially these days where the internet provides all manner of stimulation for free with ease. When I was a kid I had to pay almost $10 for a porno magazine, much more for a movie, and these things tended to get passed around like herilooms among friends. At least this form of masturbation required some will.

Pursuing sexual partnership is psychologically expensive. It will require the individual to be saavy, sensitive, display empathy, catalyze enjoyment, one needs a nap just thinking about it.

But this is precisely what we are built to do, and we have such great apexes of personality and empathy to share with one another that require the sexual impulse to manifest. At least this is what I believe.

People can also become sexually lazy in relationships. Sex becomes a kind of hygenic duty. The only hygenic duty I want in my sex life are those associated with medical fetishes.

In fact fetishes are a great area for a committed couple to enact deeper levels of their own sexual energy. I particularly recommend prolonged seduction, for when release comes to easily or too quickly, you rob yourself of higher and higher states of awareness and empathy.

I also agree with the hermetic mages who I have studied that say sexual energy can be redirected. Though I believe part of this includes a sexual charge into the actions of the mage, so is not any form of chastity, but a state I have come to refer to as a Hypersex. I created the term by remembering a similar term incorrectly used to describe the brilliant comic book author Grant Morrison.

Hypersex is prolonged peak levels of sexual arousal paired with meditation, psychic exercise, and direct focused channeling of ones will. But I will add that in my view sex magick in total is much bigger than this. Sex magick is like a new node of perception in the human brain, because it increases awareness, it begins to process data differently. Or at least this seems to be my experience. Hypersex is one way to use this awareness.

I also believe Hypersex is a good part of sex, if you are attaining the state of Hypersex before a sexual act, then you should have been basically engaged in some kind of seduction or foreplay for a minimum of days before the sex act.

Remember, Hypersex goes beyond mere arousal. Hypersex is saturating your whole being with arousal.

With all this said, again I confess that I am a novice. I strive and pray to all gods to be able to engage in a deeper practice of this most perfect of wisdoms.

If there was ever anything like Atlantis, or the Silver City, or El Dorado, or High Brasil, or Utopia, or Krypton, or Vulcan sex magick would have been a major aspect of their social code.
