The homosexual isindeed a pathetic figure. His awareness and appreciation of the beauty and magic of the opposite sex and his ability to participate in the act of procreating life is lost. The wonder and joy of the opposite sex is denied to him. In their frustrations and inadequacy, homosexuals turn upon their own kind seeking an unnatural outlet for the sexual instinct. The perversions and tyranny of the instinct of sex are frightening and degrading. Sex is perhaps the greatest provacator of human emotions. When this powerful instinct is warped it causes the most awful abberations in human nature.

There are some basic facts that we need to understand about sex. The instinct is exceedingly powerful and begins to make its presence felt very early in life. Science has not yet been able to identify the exact age of the awakening of this instinct, but all indications point to the fact that sexual awareness comes almost at birth. By four the instinct is sufficiently pronounced and by the age of puberty it is well developed. The problems and pressures of sex are very complex and disturbing during the adolescent period and guidance and help available at this time is usually insufficient understanding and control to guide the instinct. They usually face these bewildering days alone. Many mistakes are made during this period which may seriously curtail its fullest enjoyment.

Sex is generally associated with youth and most people believe that between 14 to 24 years one experiences the most intense passion. But actual studies disprove this simple belief. It has been found that human beings have a lifelong capacity to enjoy sex and it is most satisfying during the years 23 to 55. With skill, technique and proper control the enjoyment of sex can even be anhanced during the later years of life. Sexual practices which interfere with the reproductive process are biologically unsound and harmful. Monks, nuns, spinsters, bachelors, and permanent homosexuals are all, in a reproductive sense, aberrrant. Society has bred them, but they have failed to return the compliment. A study of the celibate population in France showed that their mortality rate was nearly double that for married people. There were twice as many in asylums and hospitals as patients. Celibacy evidently creates problems, both for the individual and the state.

In our times there seems to be an unseemly interest in sex. It has become the hottest selling product. Sex-charged literature and pornographic material find the best market. A wild, promiscuous wave seems to be sweeping the world and all are secretly enjoying this new freedom and titilation. In a way it is right, for too long sex has been shrouded in mystery and sin. A young person speaking enthusiastically on the subject said that sexual freedom is a very unique achievement of modern times. For the first time man has been able to overthrow sexual inhibitions and is free to enjoy and indulge his greatest and most powerful urge.

This generation would be naive to believe that it has discovered something new and wonderful about sex, unknown and untried by all the generations before. The freedom, abandon, promiscuousness, lasciviousness and perversions of sex in all possible forms have all been practised before. Out generation cannot claim any frame or originality in this matter. The blatant exploitation of sex in the balmy days of teh mighty Roman empire are too well-known. The orgies of sex, its enjoyment and exploitation reached giddy heights during the days of the Roman empire. People still remember with wry amusement the sexual abandonment of the people of Sodom and Gammorah and the story in the book of Joshua of how, when the two angels visited the city, the people lusted after them. Poor Lot offered his beautiful virgin daughters to the crowd so that they may spare the angels.

In Greece the beauty, grace and worship of the perfect body reached its zenith. Greek sculptures of the human body are still unsurpassed in their beauty and perfection. The theme of sex and its appreciation and enjoyment attained an all time high in ancient India. The carvings in the temples of Bhubaneshwar, Puri and Khajuraho are breathtaking in their boldness, zest and abandon. The sheer beauty, grace and variety of sexual poses and modes of intercourse in life size figures is shocking and exciting in its daring display. And yet there is a beauty and dignity in all these daring poses which leaves one profoundly impressed.

The enjoyment and bold participation in sex which ancient India achievfed as depicted in his temple sculpture of some thousands of years cannot be easily surpassed. Sex play and love-making became a highly developed art. Ancient India literature such as the Kama Sutra, Kokshastra, Kama Kalpa and Ananga Rana are recognised the world over as the most exhaustive literature on sex. These writings study the subject of sex with a thoroughness and scientific detachment which the Western sexologist has not yet displayed.

The popular modern western literature on sex often over-emphasises the mechanics of the sexual act. The Hindu literature and sculpture on love and sex is exceedingly rich and wide. Vatsyayana, the great Hindu mystic and author of the famous Kama Sutra, the treatise on sex, maintained that sex is an essential as food for the happiness and well-being of man and woman. He considered sex the greatest gift of God and gave detailed instructions and guidance for its full and proper use.
