Whilst it is certain that sex is a form of pleasure that belongs to the most exciting part of one’s life, cooking accompanies you for your lifetime. Nonetheless some could object that food in infancy and in old age is reduced to strange mixtures because of the lack of teeth, hence the impossibility to give a good bite on whatever eatable comes across your mouth. That pityful state corresponds also to a extremely happy period where one does do not know what will happen next and on the other hand a most sad one where people do live on bitter memories of past times. Some could also object that even children and elderly people do have a sexuality. Of course like any other animal or plant on earth !
Now to simplify things, let’s consider “the most exciting part of one’s life”, the one where we can both eat and taste food as well as enjoy the pleasure of having sex. In our developed western countries we note a dual approach which results in a number of obese (who do not necessarily eat properly) and a quantity of pornographic material made available to anyone with a TV set or a computer screen (again people who are not necessarily satisfied with their sex life). Let’s have a look on the average Western adult : fit because always on a diet, sexually active because it is healthy, most of the time overworked or underemployed, continuosly on the verge of splitting up with the partner or settled in an everlasting relation with some tender half. That’s how many of us find their balance in excess. Then food and sex become like the rest : on a diet you spend your time watching the others “eating” what you fancy most, and in other circumstances you “put on weight” and regret it whilst you watch those who can show off on the beach.
Should we live on air and meditation to be in tune with today’s life, just like unsatisfied static stones, or roll over life like unbalanced animals and implose when we become too old to experience pleasure or even meditation ? I end up with a question because I am too lazy to answer.
