World of Sex by Henry Miller

World of Sex, as you can see in the title, it seems to be so taboo-ish that you will not seem to wonder if it had been banned and will come to the point that no one will have the courage to publish it. Luckily, there were people who got the balls. Thanks to them, I was given this wonderful chance to read it.

Ohh ... Christine Reyes

Long ago when I was a still a participant in our organization, there was this Fat and Scary Alumni Facilitator who gave us a lecture about Psychoanalysis. He asked, “Why are there Human Beings? One of my co-participants immediately answered, “We evolved from apes.” Then another one answered, “It was written in the bible that God created us.” To my surprise, there was someone who answered, “It was because of malakas and maganda.” He meant that the first humans came from a split  bamboo tree –The Anak sa Liking Kawayan Theory. After hearing their answers, I said woooh, just inside my head. Throughout hearing their answers, the Fat and Scary Alumni Facilitator was laughing sarcastically. “You know what guys,” He responded. “You're wrong.” He said, “I wasn't asking where we came from. I was asking you why are we here.” We were all silent trying to get his point. Then he stopped talking for a brief moment and asked, “You wanna know why guys?” Obviously. He smiled then –it was pretty obvious that he was preparing for a big laugh. He said, “It's because of SEX! He said with a funny voice of conviction. "We have a lot of people here in this world because a lot of people FUCK. That's why we are still here Human Beings." Huge laughs blew the roof away out of the room. Not to mention we are having the session in a Holy place. It was a Religious Renewal Center. Imagine us having this kind of talk here.

Psychoanalysis is the school of thought in Psychology that primarily deals with the Unconscious –the unconscious drive which are pleasure-oriented and sexual in nature.

World of Sex –Spot the humor

Because of my Freudian background. I had a fun and easy time understanding this book, World of Sex. We people have this repressed energy in us. Energy is life. Doesn't matter whether it's positive or negative. And a suppressed or repressed energy can mean less life –lesser being. The book says the same thing. The only difference is, it also talks about love. Love and Sex. Two of the most interesting matters here in this world. It will usually take a huge amount of time ─life to understand this. Sex can strengthen love, but love is just not all about sex (But for some, it is though). It can even destroy love. Sex does more than the procreational process. It also gives off hot pleasure that can make you go crazy about it if you're using only your dick when you are doing some fucking. But when you fuck with your heart, body, and soul and being, if that happens, you'll discover the deeper meaning of sex.

I'll make sure the girl I love won't feel fucked –but loved. I learned that valuable lesson from one of my favorite books, A Million Little Pieces by James Frey.

Sex is a gift in which everyone have to receive. Not really. Birth is. Sex does not only give birth to babies –it also gives AIDS. What I am trying to say is –not figuratively, is Birth. Our ability to give birth to moments, friendships, dreams, life, inspiration, and more. Perhaps, sex was nothing but a symbolism that we misunderstood.

We have our desires. To destroy or to procreate or to whatever. One can't be free from desires –it takes desire in the first place to do so. A desire suppressed or repressed can mean a lot of trouble. You can delve inside you desires and understand it. You can control these desires –be a master of it. Not the other way around.

And as the cliché says “It always starts with a choice.”
