It has been said that nothing sells like sex. It is one of those topics that attract as much interest and then again, as much controversy. And not much has changed since Adam and the forbidden apple. Sex is an emotive word that evokes diverse reactions ranging from excitement, taboo, censorship, sleaze, shame to name but a few.

Sex has fascinated the human mind since time immemorial, and in this materialistic world where hedonism is worshipped, sex is arguably the only 'religion' that has the largest number of followers. And yet, it has always been regarded as a forbidden fruit, a taboo, off limits, 'hush- hush'...

Sex lies at the very root of life itself and yet it is the most misunderstood subject in life. Is sex a dirty word? Is homosexuality a sin? Are procreation and momentary pleasure the only dimensions to sex? Is the obsessive pursuit of sexual gratification for pleasure a futile delusional exercise? From sex to divinity...is it possible?

It is rare to come across a book which talks about sex so candidly and busts the myths associated with it. And furthermore, elaborates the hidden facets of it that are not known to many: sex and spiritual evolution. The author succinctly presents the physiological, psychological and spiritual dimensions of this ill-understood topic, besides offering the life-transforming sutras for transcending indulgence.

This book strikes a chord with everyone, for sex is a part of all our lives, whether we like it or not, whether we admit it or not. This in-depth elucidation will be an eye-opener and will give you another dimension to this much misrepresented and socially embargoed topic.

Someone has said: "Sex is the biggest nothing of all time". But how many people will arrive at this conclusion in their life- time? On the contrary, sex is on most people's mind, most of the times. Yet, it is a taboo. What an irony!

Nothing has fascinated the human mind as much as sex. Sex is the proverbial forbidden fruit and the taboo associated with it ensures that, albeit covertly, it is the most sought after source of pleasure. And at the same time, no one is comfortable talking about it openly.

There is a kind of moral embargo in the society on openly talking about sex and this has created so many misconceptions. The ignorance on what sex is really all about and the mad pur- suit of sex for getting a transitory feeling of pleasure, has contributed to sexual perversion, promiscuity and the sexual malaise prevalent in the modern times.

It is like a dog chasing its own tail - no matter how much sex one indulges in, it never leads to a lasting sense of fulfilment, the pleasure evaporates in a moment and within a short while the sexual urge is back...and the cycle continues.

Sex is not sinful and should not be censured, should not be condemned and should certainly not be forcibly suppressed. Rather, it needs to be understood thoroughly. And it is only after this in-depth understanding, one can become aware of the fact that sex can be utilised for much more than mere momentary pleasure.
