Analysis: The Relationship between Power and Sex

Relationship State of the Art Sex and Power

Bizarre sex scenarios have slithered in our hyper sexual lives and power plays long before IMF Managing Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn made the headlines of global pop culture or when the Terminator Governator Procreator Arnold Schwarzenegger dallied the release of his jittery dalliances. 

These cases of small dog or small man syndrome are plentiful in their weakness masquerading as power and pleasure. They are un-relationship, un-power and un-sex.

The abuse of power and/or sex has percolated in the human condition since we chose to eat the one fruit in the Garden that was mortally dangerous. How ravishing a fruit was it? We are drawn to the breath that poisons. 

Why is it that we embrace danger and bore so easily when we have it all?

Still more interesting is why so many think this is all something new.

Throughout history this kind of behavior has been endemic. It was going on before and during the Golden Age of Athens as well as amid the power and might that was Imperial Rome. It never abated in the Dark Ages or the Enlightenment and has continued into the Decline and Fall of the United States of America and the Rise of Glorious to be Rich China.

The key is relationship, how it weaves into sex and power. Our behavior with these pillars of humanness, raw humanity and inhumanity must be harnessed by humility and meekness. These are words and concepts much maligned and misunderstood, they may seem boring but they grasp within clenched fist lighting bolts.

This is the docking of our primal sexual urges and application of our control paradoxes within the parameters of healthy relationship and overflowing life.

What does this look like?

As I write this article on my iPhone I sit in a cafe where my pretty young waitress has bent over pointing out the specials on the menu while pointing her significant dual specials into my personal space. The pretties dual delights duelling my character some would say but I refer to something more fundamental than character. Certainly character is more important than reputation, reputation is merely the shadow cast but character is who we are casting the shadow yet I am thinking more of who we can be not who we are by our own measly abilities.

The cleavage of my pretty waitress sought leverage in the theatre of my mind. Yet said cleavage lacks the capacity as lure for me to cross the bridge from observation or recognition to attraction or desire.

This is not because I am a heterophobic male, I am as red blooded a heterosexual male as you will find yet my attraction and desire is splendidly endowed towards that of my lavishly attractive wife. Yet again this attraction is not made from our biochemical makeup or driven by her application of cosmetic makeup.

It is not a case of erectile dysfunction, slavish morality application or sex addict self help. Sex and power are indelibly inextricably intertwined but the Golden Thread of humility and meekness is unquenchable even if bent it will not break but will apply the brakes for safe steering.

Yet my pretty young waitress who doubtlessly wears such tiny scraps of skin covering cloth because of my diminishing tips, exposing more of her tips does not manage to claw her blade-like nails into my desire because of the humility and meekness infused into my life by the King of Humility and Meekness, it is not because of anything special about me, far from it.

The power of humility and meekness.

To be a king is to have power and to be in control so to juxtaposition such with humility and meekness may seem a quandary or contradiction but it is not. Humility or meekness being power under control does not lessen power but unleashes it.

If you are endowed with sufficient power and authority one need not be self enslaved to a felt need or the burning of the blood. The molecules and DNA of this world are no the end all be all.

Indeed you are free and at liberty when the State of the Art surpasses the brokeness and slavery of power and sex obsession or addiction.

Interestingly power and sex are vastly more interesting and satisfying when relationship is within this State of the Art. This is the upgrade from the slavish fear based power and sex thresholds of the sex snare scenarios so common to our resilient yet fragile species.

The game changing Zoe Life

The State of the Art Relationship sex and power woven into the Golden Thread of Humility and Meekness gifted by the King are powerful and exhilarating even when we are weak and fragile. This is true beauty; I need not depend upon myself, my character or personal guidelines as this is not about me.

When infused by the State of the Art the way I see my waitress is completely different, as I am transformed my vision of her is likewise changed. She is not a sex object requiring conquering or pleasure principles or the fulfillment of my sexual gratification, the occupation of waitress and the person she is becomes elevated. She is now the one I serve as a respected equal even if she chooses to denigrate herself. She is now my mother, my sister or my daughter not an object of sexual allure.

Such humility and meekness is powered by love, not romantic love but otherworldly love. A spiritual love that transcends the flesh and mere fleeting emotions, it is love as a verb, a plan of action in action. It is not a fluttering of chemistry or spark of exhilaration flirtation but the interceding of the Zoe Life which is profoundly more dynamic and exhilarating. A life that is not simply led on the physical plane but is infused by the spiritual dimension, this makes the impossible possible, this is when the infinite intercedes within the finite making us more than we can be. This is the heart of the spiritual life and the core of spiritual sex.

This is the ultimate relationship between sex and power, the Zoe Life, the Life on the Blade.

Now Madam Max will I am sure dish up an intellectually sexy lashing of this theme so let us step into her boudoir.
