Sex
 

If this is an exchange of energy between two beings and they say be careful who you are close or intimate with as you will become like them, say, if I want to increase my intelligence, I should then get intimate with a nerd or whiz. Just out of curiousity. It's funny I know but thought I'd ask.

This reminds me of what I used tell my daughters growing up. ....that are who you hang with (meaning you will acquire the behavior and be influenced by those who's company you keep)

Hanging out with losers and low-lifes drags you down and choosing good quality friends who have a sound moral compass improves you....

I'd say choosing good people to go to bed with falls into the same category. .......screwing low life people with negative energy and questionable morals could not possibly improve your own energy!

Above all else, IMO, it's down to whether you share an authentic love for one another as people and as friends first and foremost. A mutual authentic love, where you desire & actively seek the highest good of the other, and for no other reason but their good. And then commit to one another in partnership.

Within the circle of belonging, authentically loving sex is good, healthy, and loving. Without authentic love, it's imbalanced and draining. It's always negative and misaligned, energy-wise. To a woman, it often feels like rape or coercion without authentic love and presence.

Regardless of the social status of the other.

Likewise, the same goes for one's friends...do they seek my highest good and can I count on them to truly look out for me? If this is the case, then you have a true friend.

Otherwise, you do not...and this may be a friend you relegate to an acquaintance so that you have more of yourself to give to those who do appreciate you and who resonate with you more deeply.

Peace & blessings :hug3:

One of my past practice partners decided to get drunk at a party and I felt hung

over for the duration.

She lived a few states away from me.
