Thanks Jessica. I agree with you. When I talk about fertility as something essential to sex, I don’t mean that a baby must be conceived every time or even intended or desired, only that the nature of sex as a fertile power must be respected. Perhaps the word “reverence” would be appropriate to describe the attitude towards fertility that those who really seek to enter the religious meaning of sexuality have.

Lovely piece, Brian. I would also venture to say that even if a child is not conceived, fertility is still part of the spiral, and that love is still life-giving in the way of spiritual fecundity (particularly in the case of those who can’t conceive).

You are a phenomenal writer, Brian. What a lovely analogy. You are definitely having a huge influence on how I am starting to think about sex. Thanks.
