Do we really NOT have bodies on the other side?

It's curious - or perhaps it isn't - that the sexual behaviours of humankind would remain an attraction for certain folk.

As sexual reproduction was devised as a means of providing new human shells - bodies - to allow spirit entities to experience earth lives, there is no need for sexual activity after physical (earth) life has been left behind.

That's not to suggest that the urge to indulge sexually will necessarily disappear immediately. That's because it's embedded in our psyches while we're in-the-body. For some it may take a time for the desire to fade, especially if we consciously want to retain it.

It's also quite possible that retention of one's sexual parts can happen if there is a strong enough desire by an individual - even though there is no longer any necessary function for them. And given a desire of male and female to associate sexually, they will be able to achieve that.

I have absolutely no idea whether that would be a more, less, or similarly pleasurable act compared with what is experienced in the physical level. Many complain that little enough is known about the etheric levels and ways of living there and aspects of sexuality are hardly likely to be communicated more widely than the basic understandings I would suggest.

Ideas about sexual activity and pleasures may be little more than wishful thinking, simply fantasies I suspect.

By the same token, people who are addicted to cigarettes have a hard time after leaving the body because the addiction remains....(or so I've heard).

You must always remember that ours is a mind world, a spirit world where conciousness is king. The mind is enthroned and mind rules. What mind dictates is reality. When you have read of the appearance of those who come from the higher, or inner, planes, do you not find they are described as shining figures radiating light, rather than as having shape? That is because personality has gone. It is because there is less of the bodily expression about them."


Me :- the penis reply was a wind up.

This is also what I meant when I posted. If you cross and go through your transition, you will not see people as male/female, or beings with bodies. From when I went over, at first they were like I remembered them. To put me at ease I suppose. Then the body image faded and I saw them as colored energy, but they still were those "people" I knew. :)
