I don't think so. This would preclude asexual types & renunciates (monks, nuns, etc) from experiencing that oneness.
And I'd bet that most renunciates would say that their sacrifice brings them closer to the Source.

I think it all depends on your faith system.  If you see sex as a spiritual experience, maybe.
If you see giving up the fleshly pleasures as part of a path toward spiritual purity, then surely not.

Oh you all make great points...I actually dont know what i think about this subject....I have heard that to but i guess it depends on the person and what they believe....But for me,hmm id say errr no....Maybe i think that because i have never felt as one,hmm probably.

That WAS an ingenious post by MrPhatLips and I related very much. I'm not in a relationship now and am in a healing process. Maybe in the future sexual intimacy will involve more of the whole of me, but in the past it has involved a split in a sense. Not integragted. There is a meridian that can occur...some focus more on the waist down and others above the waist...the mind. It would be wonderful to feel that closeness in your heart with someone and fully express that bond with thoughts and sensations below the meridian...physically, emotionally, and spiritually. But at the moment, for me, closeness with others is about developing nonsexual relationships.

Hey id be happy just to get a bit
Then i could answer that

A very valid point Charles makes.

In that case, what tips or suggestions can be given to couples who wish to explore these experiences with each other more readily?

Also, is there anyone who has achieved the feeling of oneness through sexual intimacy and can you describe the feeling for us?  Can you tell us what key aspects we should work on ourselves to obtain this experience for ourselves and what all should we look out for?
