One very big mistake people are making in this society, is to go looking 'for a relationship' meaning 'a partner to have sex with'. We teach that sex is properly and naturally an expression of love and devotion, not something to go looking for.
.
It is part of the ideology of this new spiritual path that when people meet each other, they will ideally think only whether they enjoy each other's company as potential friends, and not make immediate assessments as to whether they find each other sexually attractive or not. If their pleasure in each other's company, over a long period of time, turns to love, that is the right time for them to ask themselves, and each other, whether they both wish to express their love sexually.
.
We recommend that people do not indulge in casual sex. When sex is an expression of love and devotion between two adults, whether of the same gender or of the opposite gender, who have made a loving commitment to each other, then it is a spiritual activity. But any relationship where the sex is the main reason for its existence is really based on casual sex. Or, look at it this way, any relationship which would cease to exist just because the sex stopped, is really based on casual sex. We recommend that if you meet someone and wish to have a sexual relationship with them, that you first get to know them for about two years, and you both make a meaningful commitment to each other, and have other ways of showing love and devotion to each other, before you enter into a sexual relationship. This allows time for a real relationship to become established, which will then, hopefully, withstand the various pressures of every day living over many years. We do not suggest this to be unkind, but to try to help people avoid getting into difficulties by jumping unprepared into hurtful or unsuitable sexual relationships. Our society is, unfortunately, full of sexual abuses, of which casual sex is one, and we recommend that you take proper care of yourself by refusing all offers of casual sex, no matter how tempting.
