Osho on Sex and Domination

By Jennifer Elizabeth Masters

"Sex is a natural phenomenon, as a rose flower, or dewdrops on the grass leaves in the early morning. And it is the most
Osho, also known as Ranjeesh
beautiful phenomenon too, as beautiful as the calling of the cuckoo, as beautiful as the stars in the sky. But down the ages it has been condemned.


Condemning sex has been one of the most important strategies to dominate man. The moment you condemn sex you have condemned life itself. Life arises out of sex; life is an expression of sex. If you can find God anywhere, utterly present, it is the moment of sexual orgasm. But to condemn sex is a great strategy. Through it you condemn man indirectly; you poison his very source of being. And then he feels guilty, a sinner, worthless; and then it is easy to dominate him, it is easy to exploit him - and that's what the politicians and the priests have been doing.


They don't want you to have freedom, they don't want you to enjoy life, because the man who is blissful is rebellious. The man who is enjoying his life cannot be easily dominated - it is very difficult to dominate him - and cannot easily be deceived, because he has clarity.
