Women and the Sex Game

 

- “Shanti has overlooked giving his beloved a name! So let me introduce myself - I’m Gaia and I am the talker.

Peace on Earth - that’s what it’s about. ‘Peace on Earth - Goodwill to Men’ - is an idea whose time has come.

The masculine energy has been in control for many centuries and the wars continue to get more devastating. What’s wrong with this picture?

The world game seems to be about war. The game of war is about domination and submission - winner takes all. Winning is about who holds the most destructive power”. Women have joined in the game by trying to emulate the man. We have worked hard at doing whatever it takes to be accepted in the “man’s” world.

We mold ourselves into their sex symbol, their mother figures, their slaves. Their images are our own molds! "He’s so strong - I’m so weak. I need him to survive." These are the concepts that have been drummed into our minds through our parents, churches, schools, and media. The current state of the media spreads this sick thinking at an ever increasing speed worldwide.”

Shanti comments: “Yes, I just recently read there were millions of pornographic sites on the web”.

Gaia responds: There will be a lot less when women quit participating so let’s talk about women and the sex game.

 Women have been playing to men’s sexual fantasies for way to many centuries and men’s fantasies are based on power and control. Men approach sex from an “I know all about this so you just be quiet and let me teach you the ‘right’ way!” I remember a past lover who, when I said “That hurts!” kept assuring me it was my fault and that it wouldn’t hurt if I would just ‘relax’. In other words, shut up woman, it’s just your body and what do you know?!

Like many women of my era (born 1938) I was raised on True Story, True Romance, and many such magazines containing myths about love and sex and I therefore received the message that men were the leaders in sexual experiences and they would teach me the right way to do “It”. They would bring me to ecstasy and pleasure.

Now don’t get me wrong. I certainly have had many pleasurable experiences and I certainly learned a lot about what men believe sex is about. I did it all and I did it their way! I even studied hard and became a sex counselor and sex surrogate where my job was to help impotent men return to a satisfying sex life.

Then one day after many, many headaches and heartbreaks I withdrew from the world of men and began to explore my own wants and needs. I began to learn about my own body and what my pleasure was about. I became “somebody”, a real somebody, more than somebody’s wife, mother, lover and/or caretaker. I became a woman!

A woman, “The working tool of the Holy One”, (Shanti argues it’s “human” that is the working tool of the Holy One; I say whatever!). It is a woman’s touch, a woman’s thoughts, that are needed to lead our world to peace and harmony.

My plea is “women of the world unite”. Take time to explore and get to know yourself, talk to each other about your real wants and needs and then “ask for what you want when you want it, the way you want it and do not settle for less. Settling time is over; it is time to state our wants and needs clearly without hesitation or doubt and insist, better yet, demand that they by filled.

Let me clarify that sex and love are not the same. You can have a great sex experience without being in love with the person involved; you must, however, definitely be in love with you!

A great sexual experience is not about the looks of the person, the size of the organ, or the length of time he can remain erect or your partners desire to please or prove his prowess as a great lover. You can enjoy an ecstatic sexual experience and never even have penetration!

Shanti asks: Are you certain you want to send this information for the entire world to see?

I am surprised that you would ask. My question is why not? Is there something here I should be “ashamed” of ? Is there something here that is not true? Is there something here I have doubts about? My answers are no, no, and no.

My answer to your question, Shanti, is emphatically “Yes!” It is time for change and change will only come if we are willing to bare our souls and speak honestly from our hearts. The time for hiding behind polite smiles and half-truths is over! Women of the world unite, support each other, praise and encourage each other; we are the way to Peace.

I send this out with a deep faith in the women of the world who are ready to step forward and be true to themselves and each other. Women of the world unite!

Yes, Shanti, indeed send this out.
