2007.03.25 The Female Orgasm

[Tenet Nosce]

That makes sense, more than one kind. But I'm not so sure of the delineation based on chakras.....the energy system seems much more integrated to me than that, we just break it up into male/female, seven chakras to understand it, I think. To me it seems more like music, lots of different chords and possibilities of harmony.

That is interesting... to think about it in terms of music. For example, in the western system of music we are most familiar with there are seven notes in a scale and twelve in an octave. But in Indian music they recognize 22 different notes in an octave. Of course, in the ultimate sense one could tune a string to an infinite number of notes. Still... I do think there is some objective validity to the seven chakra system, based upon the anatomy and physiology of the human body.

Energetically speaking, I tend to think of male and female energy as counterrotating spirals. We can use terms like "clockwise" and "counterclockwise" to discern between the direction of rotation, however these terms are relative to perspective. For example, if I held up a clock in front of my chest and you were to look directly at it, you would see the hands moving clockwise. But let's say my body were translucent and you were standing behind me looking through the back of the clock. To that perspective, the hands would appear to be moving counterclockwise.

Beyond these rotational directions, there are other qualities which emerge from a spiral, such as contraction and expansion. Personally speaking, I tend to associate the clockwise direction with contraction and the counterclockwise with expansion, although I accept the possibility that another could see it the opposite way.

The contraction spiral is what I think of as male energy, while the expansion spiral as female energy. I also get a sense that these alternate in neighboring densities. So, for example, in 2D or 4D it is the female polarity that manifests as contracting energy and the male as expanding energy.

Since the body is a microcosm of the universe, I imagine that a similar dynamic occurs. I understand that chakras are manifestation of these counterrotating energies... so if we were to imagine two overlapping spirals moving in opposite directions this is what they would look like.

Now in any given chakra, there is going to be a predominance of male (contracting) or female (expanding) energy. Yet the energy of orgasm is always expanding... therefore it will be more easily noticed on those levels where male energy predominates and there is more resistance to flow.

I suppose there is no rule which says that the predominating energy on each level needs to alternate, however when I think of a person who is energetically balanced that is the image which comes to my mind.

Anyway, I don't mean to overwhelm you with theories and speculations. It's just what I go through when I am tracking down my thought processes to see where an idea came from.

Yes, and not only that, but the orgasmic experience changes and evolves, as the relationship evolves and as blockages are cleared.

Yes, that is very true. I have observed when partners are new to each other, there is a tendency to contract the abdomen during sex which can result in a more physically intense, but less emotionally satisfying orgasm. Not necessarily bad, but it can be confusing if one is not aware of what is going on. As the relationship progresses, and each learns to relax and trust their partner, the orgasms might become less physically intense and somebody might incorrectly perceive that something went "wrong". I must say I do think men are more prone to making this error as likely at that stage of the relationship is when the woman is just starting to enjoy sex. Of course, this can cause issues for a woman as well if she misreads the situation and thinks that men bolting just as soon as she starts to open herself up to them means that something is wrong with her.

So much suffering over such a simple misperceived thing. It's just a natural process. If one wants to have more physically intense orgasms, simply clench the abdomen as if one were in the grips of fear as the energy begins to rise. Nothing wrong with this from an ethical perspective, but I will say that there were a few times I took this to excess and the result was not entirely pleasant!

That also reminds me- there can be periods where orgasms just don't come as frequently or are as enjoyable. That's a normal process too, and can happen in both men and women.
