“In the last two paragraphs there is a justification of a practice which might be called sacred prostitution.” [via]

Consider also:

  1. “The title ‘Venus of Milo’ is an argument in support of paragraphs 1 and 2, it being evident from this statement that the female body becomes beautiful in so far as it approximates to the male.”
  2. “Those who are under the dominion of reason are called blind.”
  3. “But in this chapter, little hint is given of anything beyond physical love. It is called the Pole-Star, because Laylah is the one object of devotion to which the author ever turns.”
  4. “Even as the Lingam and the Yoni are but diverse developments of One Organ, so also are Life and Death but two phases of One State. So also the Absolute and the Conditioned are but forms of THAT.”
  5. “He is called the Second in relation to that which is above the Abyss, comprehended under the title of the First.”

  • “Making love to Jesse was more like drugs than sex, nothing was static or confined to one role. Under my hands he was a girl, a newborn child, a flowering plant, a sculpture that I was carving inch by inch, the perfection of all my desires. He was not conscious of himself other than as something undergoing change and seeking to minimize pain, he was open to all possibilities.”
