love/sex

Viktor Frankl, a Jewish mystic and Holocaust survivor, was the founder of Logotherapy and Existential Analysis. His writings deal mainly with the meaning of life and observations of the world around us. I am inspired by his views on love and sex:

Frakl explains that in modern society, the world confuses and blends the two very separate indentities of love and sex. Without love, he says, sex is nothing more than masturbation, and the other is nothing more than a tool to be used, a means to an end.

Sex can only be fully enjoyed as the physical expression of love.

I feel that today sex can sometimes completely miss the path of enjoyment, becoming instead a form of self destructive mutilation. Disrespecting one's body is the same as disrespecting a divine temple. It is easy to lose one's way, but guided by love and (both internal and external) forgiveness, we can always find our way back into the light.
