Sex & 4 Angstformer

By ChaosNavigator

'It
is lovemaking that sweeps people into glorious new dimensions and
realities, rips the veil between the worlds, and produces ecstasies a
thousand times more powerful than the most exquisite orgasm.  It is
lovemaking so spectacular that it really is a religious experience.  It
is lovemaking that transforms people’s lives.  It is called transcendent
sex.' -  Transcendent Sex, Jenny Wade

I believe I know one of the primary reasons at least.  According to my schooling in childhood it has to do with a primal phenomena; the fear of pain. 

If
we are not in contact with our own suffering, blocking it out, we tend
to block empathy out as well - the quality to take another human being's
perspective on a deeper level. 

Fear of pain itself is one out of
4 very deep archetypal fears (death, pain, insanity, sexuality) that
are deeply subconsciously rooted in the psyche of humanity.  Fear of
death is the strongest.  The other two forms of fear are fear of insanity
and fear of sexuality. 

Fear
of sexuality is more difficult to grasp because it is associated with
joy and pleasure, but because real sexuality transcends the ego, the
results can be powerful energetic streams throughout the whole body,
sensations beyond the body, spontaneous recalls of problematic
childhood-experiences, visions and even loss of consciousness and
extreme fear of death – all these can emerge during the sexual act
beside other things. 

Actually
those primal fears are angst, a deeper much more excruciating
unsettling emotion than fear.  Fear is of the known – and angst is of the
unknown. 

There
is something abyssmal about these fears.  And people unconsciously guard
themselves from these fears - therefore they block other people's
suffering out as well.  Its basically a defense-mechanism. 

Thats
why some people can become quite aggressive, anxious or otherwise spooked out when
confronted with these fears (by experiencing someone having a
panic-attack for example).  But even less could do it: Their aggressions can actually be triggered merely by someone talking about pain, death, insanity, etc.  I've seen it happen quite a number of times.  Yeah,
it is a strange world......

A strange coincidence is that not only Bob Moore, but Irvin D. Yalom and others (existential psychology) also define 4 ultimate concerns in life related to angst.  For in depth see death, freedom,isolation and meaninglessness. 
Slightly different and overlapping but whereas the former category of four are
observed from a school of highly clairvoyant psychology, the latter
developed from existentialistic orientations. 

'Aggressive and sadomasochistic aspects of this matrix reflect the biological fury of the organism whose survival is threatened by suffocation, as well as the introjected destructive onslaught of the uterine contractions.  Facing this aspect of BPM III, we might experience cruelties of astonishing proportions, manifesting in scenes of violent murder and suicide, mutilation and self-mutilation, massacres of various kinds, and bloody wars and revolutions.  They often take the form of torture, execution, ritual sacrifice and self-sacrifice, bloody man-to-man combats, and sadomasochistic practices...

..Sexual experiences that occur in the context of BPM III are characterized by enormous intensity of the sexual drive, by their mechanical and unselective quality, and their exploitative, pornographic, or deviant nature.  They depict scenes from red light districts and from the sexual underground, extravagant erotic practices, and sadomasochistic sequences.  Equally frequent are episodes portraying incest and episodes of sexual abuse or rape.  In rare instances, the BPM III imagery can involve the gory and repulsive extremes of criminal sexuality – erotically motivated murder, dismemberment, cannibalism, and necrophilia.  The fact that, on this level of the psyche, sexual arousal is inextricably connected with highly problematic elements – physical pain, suffocation, vital threat, anxiety, aggression, self-destructive impulses, and various forms of biological material - forms a natural basis for the development of the most important types of sexual dysfunctions, variations, deviations, and perversions.'-  Grof om Giger's sexuelle afbildninger som BPM

'Transcendent sex is to
sex what near-death experiences are to dying.  It takes you beyond the
limitations of yourself and the everyday world into spiritual
experiences so profound that you will be transformed.  Sex can trigger
episodes identical to the highest spiritual states of shamanism, yoga,
Buddhism, and mystical Christianity, Judaism and Islam, including:

Shapeshifting

Being possessed by or channeling animals, plants and supernatural entities

Seeing visions of divine avatars

Reliving past lives

Transcending the laws of physics with paranormal powers

Awakening to the enlightenment of nirvana

Seeing the face of God

These
experiences are so breathtakingly powerful, they can be destabilizing. 
For people who know how to integrate them, though, they often are the
most transformative, healing events of their lives.  Research has shown
that like other spiritual events, transcendent sex can result in:

Becoming whole and shedding a lifetime of shame and guilt about sexuality. 

[2] 'Most functional disturbances of sex seem to be related to the dynamics of the third perinatal matrix and can be logically understood from its basic characteristics, described in chapter 2.  When, during the termination period of a therapeutic session, a person is under the influence of the sexual facet of BPM III and does not reach resolution in the transition to BPM IV, this can result in an enormous increase of sexual appetite, which is clinically termed "satyriasis" or "nymphomania." 

In this condition, the insatiable drive for repeated sexual intercourse is typically associated with a sense of incomplete release and lack of satisfaction following sexual orgasm.  It thus represents a strange combination of hypersexuality with orgastic impotence.  On closer inspection, it becomes obvious that this situation appears sexual only on the surface; in reality, it is pseudosexual and has very little to do with sex in a narrower sense. 

The core of the problem is that the individual is flooded with perinatal energies that are seeking discharge through any possible means.  Because of the similarity between the pattern of sexual orgasm and the orgasm of birth, the genitals, under these circumstances, become an ideal channel for peripheral discharge of these energies.  Since the reservoirs of perinatal energies are enormous, repeated sexual intercourse and even orgasms bring no relief or satisfaction. It is not uncommon under these circumstances for a male to have sexual intercourse as many as fifteen times in a single night and have a complete but unsatisfactory orgasm each time.  Within a matter of minutes after coitus, the perinatal energies, present in enormous quantities, tend to recreate a state of tension sufficient to induce an erection and initiate another intercourse.  Hypersexuality of this kind in both men and women is frequently associated with promiscuity.  This seems to be related to the fact that because of the lack of orgastic release the sexual act is unsatisfactory.  It is common under these circumstances to blame the partner instead of recognizing that the real problem is the perinatal outpouring of energy.  Frequent change of partners also seems to reflect a tendency to compensate for an abysmally low self-esteem that is typically associated with the perinatal unfolding, as well as a strong drive toward erratic behavior due to chaotic energies seeking discharge. 

If the intensity of the perinatal energies is excessive, the possibility of discharge can be perceived as extremely dangerous, although the nature of this danger might not be clearly defined.  Under these circumstances the individual might sense deep fear of losing control of these elemental forces and unconsciously block the sexual experience.  Since the discharge pattern of perinatal energies is inextricably connected with the pattern of sexual orgasm, this situation will result, for men, in an inability to achieve or maintain an erection and, for women, in an absence of sexual orgasm conditions that old psychiatry and colloquial jargon refer to as "impotence" and "frigidity."  Traditionally, impotence was seen as a symptom of energetic deficiency or lack of masculine power, and frigidity was interpreted as a lack of erotic sensitivity and of sexual responsiveness.  However, these concepts are completely erroneous and, as a matter of fact, could not be further from the truth. 

Impotence and frigidity of psychogenic origin are due to the exact opposite a tremendous excess of driving sexual energy.  The problem is not only the enormous amount of these feelings and sensations, but also that they express not pure sexual energy but sexually colored perinatal energy.  Consequently, this driving energy is associated with sadomasochistic impulses, vital anxiety, profound guilt, fear of loss of control, and a gamut of psychosomatic symptoms characteristic of BPM III.  These involve fear of suffocation, cardiovascular distress, painful muscular and intestinal spasms, uterine cramps, and concerns about loss of control over the bladder or anal sphincter.  In the last analysis, this energy represents the unfinished gestalt of birth and an organismic state of vital threat. 

A person suffering from impotence or frigidity, then, does not lack sexual energy, but is literally sitting on a volcano of instinctual forces.  Since, under these circumstances, the sexual orgasm cannot be experienced in isolation from these forces, letting go in orgasm would unleash an experiential inferno.  The unconscious fear of orgasm and loss of control thus becomes equivalent with the fear of death and destruction. 

This new interpretation of frigidity and impotence is supported by the dynamics of therapeutic changes observed in the course of successful treatment.  When the excess of perinatal energies is discharged in a structured nonsexual situation, one can observe the development of transient hypersexuality satyriasis or nymphomania before the client reaches a state in which the remaining sexual energies can be comfortably handled in a sexual context.  Finally, when in the course of the death-rebirth process the individual experiences elements of BPM IV and BPM I, he or she becomes fully sexually competent and, in addition, the orgastic ability tends to reach unusual heights."-  Beyond The Brain, Stan Grof'Erectile
dysfunction (impotence),the inability to develop or maintain an
erection,and orgastic incompetence (frigidity), the inability to attain
an orgasm,have a similar psychodynamic basis.  The conventional approach
to these problems sees impotence as an expression of sexual weakness,
lack of masculine power or prowess.  Orgastic incompetence in women, as
its old name “frigidity” indicates, is usually interpreted as sexual
coldness and lack of erotic responsivity.  According to my experience,
the opposite seems to be true; in both conditions, it is actually excess
of sexualized perinatal energy that is the problem. 

Individuals
suffering from these disorders are under strong influence of the sexual
aspect of BPM III.  This makes it impossible for them to experience
sexual arousal without simultaneously activating all the other elements
of this matrix.  The intensity of the energy, the aggressive impulses,
vital anxiety, and fear of loss of control associated with BPM III then
inhibit the sexual act.  In both instances, the sexual problems are
connected with COEX systems that, besides this perinatal component, have
also biographical layers and transpersonal roots, individual and karmic
memories of sexual abuse, rape, association between sex and pain or danger, and similar themes. 

The
empirical support for the involvement of perinatal dynamics in
“impotence” and “frigidity” comes from experiential psychotherapy.  When
we create a nonsexual situation in which the elements of BPM III can be
brought into consciousness and the energy associated with them
discharged, impotence can be temporarily replaced by a condition called
satyriasis - an excessive sexual drive and appetite.  This is due to the
fact that a connection has been established between the penis and the
sexual energy generated by the trauma of birth.  It is now this perinatal
energy and not the ordinary libido that is being used in the sexual
act. 

Because
of the excessive amount of energy available on the perinatal level,
this situation can result in an insatiable appetite and ability to
perform sexually.  The men who previously were not able to maintain
erection at all are now capable of having intercourse several times in a
single night.  The release is usually not fully satisfactory and, as
soon as they reach orgasm and ejaculate, the sexual energy starts to
build up again.  More nonsexual experiential work is necessary to bring
this energy to a niveau that can be comfortably handled in a sexual
situation. 

In a similar way, women who were previously unable to
let go and attain an orgasm can become orgastic when they discharge in a
non-sexual situation some of the excessive energy associated with BPM
III.  When this happens, the initial orgasms tend to be overwhelming. 
They are often accompanied by loud intense involuntary screams and
followed by several minutes of violent shaking.  There might be a
tendency to briefly lose control and bruise or scratch the partner. 
Under these circumstances, it is not uncommon for the woman to
experience multiple orgasms.  This initial liberation can also lead to an
increase of sexual appetite to such a degree that it appears
insatiable.  We thus can see a temporary transformation of “frigidity”
into a condition known as nymphomania.'-  side 39 - 40: http://wisdomuniversity.org/grof/module/week1/pdf/Architecture%20of%20Emotiona.PsychosomaticDisorders.pdf

[3]'The third perinatal matrix (BPM III) is based around the dynamic stage of labor, where the cervix is now open and the frail head of the fetus is jammed into the narrow pelvic
opening by powerful uterine contractions.  Accompanying themes include a sense of
titanic fight and mythological battles, sadomasochistic arousal based on suffocation,
confrontation with demonic energies, scatological materials, and pyrocatharsis
all in the context of an intense death rebirth struggle. 
Tarnas recognized that this complex mixture of experiences corresponds precisely with
the archetypal character of the planet Pluto. The classic Plutonian themes, widely documented in the astrological
literature, include a confrontation with the shadow side of human
nature, issues around power and aggression, the problem of evil,
sadomasochism, scatological materials, a confrontation with purifying
fire, and sequences of breakdown, renewal and rebirth.' -  se side 17:- 'Archetypal Astrology and Transpersonal Psychology: The Research of Richard Tarnas and Stanislav Grof'http://www.stanislavgrof.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Richard-Tarnas-and-Stan-Grof.pdfSe også: http://www.stanislavgrof.com/wp-content/uploads/pdf/05_Archai_Grof_Holotropic_Research.pdf
