I am a cultural anthropologist, which pretty much makes me an expert of nothing. It is from my personal experiences and from the experiences I have shared over the past five years with other members of the TMA that I have developed my perspective. I have received many requests for information and have also had numerous discussions with people about these issues. People are searching for answers in this important area of their lives. Since her developing TM, we have read about dysfunctional sexual issues and the physiological causes both for men and for women.
Sex is among the most complicated aspects of our behavior.
It is most certainly a physical behavior, but it is also a social behavior, and a psychological behavior and a spiritual behavior. And for most people, the distinctions are not at all clearly drawn. Well, my point is that there are lots of people in America and lots of couples in America who are fully functioning in the physical realm who do not have functional sex by someone's definition. It is not functional because they do not love their partner or they do not love themselves. It is not functional because they are not honest with their partner or they are not monogamous.
