Sexual intimacy as prayer is a prayer for wholeness.
It matters not if you choose to make love with or without God. Just as it matters not whether you believe in a higher power, divine or otherwise. You will have sex. You may even have great sex. However, since I do believe in a transcendent co-creator who is present and active in my life, sex for me has never been as good as it is now. And it just keeps getting better.
Never before in my life have I thought about God or, for that matter, sex as often as I do now. Just ask my husband and my best friend. I recently realized that I never make love without sensing the ever-presence of this mystery of God. Call this mystery what you want, the energy is charged and one's perceptions shift.
This not about religion. Many religions fashion what they choose to acknowledge as revelation into a rule book. Break the rules and one is shamed into submission. Shame and sex don't mix well and the combination precludes the grace of sex as prayer. I choose Divine sex to guilt and sex.
