Before I start, I apologize if I shouldn't have posted this type of topic due to kids being on the site. I am not trying to break any rules. For any kids looking at this, please exit out of my post. It is only directed at adults, and yes, I am an adult myself.
So, recently I decided to look up what exactly sex magick is and now I'm generally curious to learn more and talk to people who have had experience blending it into their spiritual practices. Why do people use sex magick? Is it normal? Am I normal for asking? :O If you have practiced and/or wanting to talk about it, feel free to join. If you have practiced, please message me. Thanks!

Sex magic is really all about the natural process of Life itself. The male and female of all living things, Flora and Fauna. The idea is to "honour" that truth by an act of sex. But mainly, it is symbolic; the insertion of the Athame (penis) into the Chalice (Vagina). There is, of course, what is known as The Great Rite; but that is another story!
Interesting. I didn't see the athame and chalice symbolism in my readings. Thanks for telling me that! It makes sense.
From what I read, they say sex magick is a more powerful release of energies and that is why some people prefer to practice it when they do a ritual since it helps them to build up an intense amount of energy, desire, and will to see their wish manifest. I'm assuming that's correct?
There is a practise of Dharma called secret mantra but the only problem is Iv'e taken vows which prohibit me from telling anyone about it unless they have had the same empowerment.
However I am also very interested in sex magic as what I have learned from my secret mantra practise has given me some insight that sex magic is just as real as ordinary magic.
It is extremely powerful stuff and I would say that the two people engaging in it would need to ;
1) Fully trust each other
2) Have a high spiritual understanding of body and mind
3) Be able to distinguish attachment from love
4) Be very in control of their spiritual minds
5) Have an exit strategy if anything goes wrong
We can see by the likes of Allister Crowley that when he engaged in such things, he became out of control and in a sense went mad. Although he was a genius, his practise was certainly not under control, almost like a pilot without flying lessons.
I would like to do a bit of digging into history especially surrounding the Egyptians and the Vikings, as far as my understanding goes they were two civilizations that were pretty big on sex, so that might be a good place to start.
If you do come across anything please message me to, and likewise if I find anything I'll be sure to message back to you!
I have always thought that sex magick is more powerful with two people that are closely connected. Such as a couple or two people who have been blood bound, probably because their energies would be so similar. Though I wonder, would it be possible to practice sex magick on your own? Would it be as strong as a couple? And would it have to be with two people of the opposite gender, or could those of the same gender get the same effect?
The general advice if you are working with the wetern mystery tradition, alone is better first. There is a lot more to this subject than just sex and most people, including myself, will not point you in the right direction as people do not realise the prepartory work which is needed for sex magick.
As for same-sex couples, there are some techniques they could not participate in, however, the majority of uses of sex as a form of magick would still very much so work. There are many same-sex partners who are able to use literature written for heterosexual partners and fit it into their work- you don't need to have a vivid imagination to do that!
