Dealing with sexuality.

[Sacred Fool]

 
Hi there.
 
The good news is, I would say, that this catalyst is very deep for you, ergo the healing of it should have a deeply helpful effect on your spiritual sojourn.
 
I would offer that the proclivity to use sexual contact for self serving purposes derives from underlying pain and the need to heal that pain.  It may have to do with betrayal, abandonment, shame, etc.  Your task then would be to travel into your inner landscape, perhaps with the help of an accomplished healer, and bring love to these areas of pain.
 
In general terms, the process is to offer ample healing love and encourage these areas to accept the path of love if they feel so inclined.  It's difficult work, I might add, because that landscape is shadowy and confusing, and it's harder than it might sound to offer love of the necessary degree of purity.  But, as I mentioned above, you are likely to find such experiences deeply and very personally rewarding.
 
I wish you Godspeed.
