The Laws of Sex
There had been numerous debates about sexuality, lust and love in recent times, and philosophers have tried to discern the connection between chastity and religion, and in this book, the correlation between human sexuality and psychology has been intensely researched and studied.
Celibacy, purity, virginity and chastity were frequent themes in medieval religious discourse and particularly prevalent in the ideals of monotheistic religions and over the years, I conducted investigative experiments, and interviewed hundreds of participants who volunteered to take part in my genialised study of sexuality, celibacy, productivity and religion, and I found many interesting results and discovered that human psychology had a huge part to play in people's promiscuity.
Philosophy tries to understand the world, and ourselves, by appeal to raw sensation and to thought and the methods of inference, and in the past centuries, philosophy tried to harness sexuality to its own very different ends. The great Greek thinker Plato studied psychology or the human psyche. Plato stressed that while eating and sex were not such bad things, but as an upper-class Greek, he preached and practiced restrain. He believed to be rational was to be in control. For this reason, Plato like his mentor Socrates, was deeply distrustful of sexual activities and even romantic love: they referred to sexual indulgence as a madness, and the very act of sex was viewed as highly revolting and dangerous. Sexual activities destroyed the ability of man to function and both Plato and Socrates held that at the moment of climax, human reason cannot be in charge. It is well known that Plato always counselled abstinence and it was he who introduced the notorious argument that since the birds and the animals do not do it this way, neither should we.
