Chrisk, you said:
“Anyways, as for the un-spirituality of sex, it is not entirely true, there must exist some blocks in regard to sexuality, I think it is just one way of giving direction to this spiritual power as you mention it.”
I do not understand this sentence. WHAT “is not entirely true”? Please clarify. Thanks.
Well put. I prefer to focus more widely, on the giving, the partner, and the infinite world beyond - rather than duration, erection, or any special part of one of the bodies; that makes it easier to isolate the ejac. reflex from the orgasm itself. Then, male heart/head/wholebody orgasms become quite invigorating (and I guess, not very different from a similar female one 
).
I do agree AYP is an array of techniques, but just like in asana or meditation, the spirit shall ride the techniques when you’re there - as opposed to being ridden/worried/obsessed by them, or by their consequences.
The yoga attitude is very helpful. Gently but firmly prefering the ecstatic upward flow to an ejac. is much like favoring a mantra in meditation; and, the “progress” in both keeps on 
coming in steps, over time…
L. & L.
Well, I was referring to the offspring for example, which might be a consequence of sex and have to be dealt with, as well as, if you read Human Psychology there is a whole array of mental processes, other deep, or other shallow which affect a person’ s subsconcious due to the invovlement in sex acts, sex is not just a simple get in/ get out thing. This is what I was referring to which is a large subject.
Chrisk, I have an M.A. in Psychology so I am indeed aware of the issues you mention and that was kind of my point with regard to one’s own personal perception of sexuality and its relationship to spirituality. In our culture we are unfortunately conditioned to regard sex as un-spiritual and depending on the extent to which we have bought into this, it may create blocks to our ability to engage sexual energy in our spiritual practice. My partner is Native American and his culture celebrates sex as spiritual, so this was an advantage for him in learning tantra and flowing with the energy. In any case I wish you all the best in your exploration of these matters and on your spiritual path! Blessings.
Yes, I agree with you. I also have a Minor in Psychology (about 6 courses) and I am furthering it now since it interests me. It is up to the individual to slowly develop an open mind, rather than follow, or listen to the commands of other people.

Yes, the rushes up the spine etc, may be a small sign of developing spirituality, but in this field, I beleive hardly they determine that the path is nearing an end. It very much depends on the individual and the amount of blocks they have accumulated.

Hatha Teacher, good point.
