Think about sex is harmful than sex itself. Sex can be easy and natural but th…inking about it too often is unnatural, is a perversion. After examining the experience of thousands of people, the psychoanalysts tell us that man is taking too much interest in mental sex and he does not derive any pleasure from the actual sex activity. The sex that is going on in the mind seems more interesting and colorful. If sex is thus perverted in the mind, confusion will be created within us.
To think about sex is not the function of the mind. The intelligence of the person who uses his mind to do the work of sex center becomes depraved — is spoiled. Gurdjieff used to say so. The intelligence is bound to get spoiled, because the functions of these two are different. It is like this: If a person tries to take food with his ear, his ear will certainly be spoiled, and food will not reach the stomach. Both will be harassed.
