# Sex & Reproduction > Sex expresses neutral energy alignment whose meaning depends on intention and consent, treated as energy sharing that aligns all levels and can serve as a permission slip. - Canonical: https://sassani.app/topic/sex # Sex & Reproduction Across these transmissions Bashar treats sexuality as a fundamental alignment of energy and a sharing of the energy of love, not primarily as procreation. The same acts that on Earth carry shame and guilt are described, in his civilization, as a natural expression that begins in adolescence and continues by choice into later life — and the difference is attributed to the definitions a society wraps around the act, not to the act itself. ## Essassani reproduction and sexuality Bashar describes his civilization as still physical and humaniform, with a reproductive mechanism similar to Earth's. Gestation is about seven months; consciousness enters the body just prior to birth, having made its pre-birth agreement with the parents beforehand; birth can occur on the craft as easily as on the home planet. Children communicate telepathically within roughly three years, after an early period in which their concepts come through as whole, undiversified, non-physical bursts — closer to dream logic than to localized speech. Sexual interaction itself is described as a sharing of the energy of love. The capability to bear children begins on average around age 16; it ceases somewhere in the 200s by choice rather than by menopause. There is no circumcision, and masturbation is simply part of the emotion of the moment — alone or with others — with no judgment attached. His civilization creates no neurotic behavior and no negative emotion, because no emotion is treated as negative until it is judged. ## Sex as energy alignment Beyond procreation, Bashar frames sex as the alignment of all of a being's energy levels. It is one way to access different levels of consciousness — including the physical — and to ground higher energy into the body in an aligned way. In this framing the act completes a circuit: once the path is defined, it allows a "lightning strike" that aligns the centers and opens clear communication back to the higher levels. A shared climax can therefore be used as a personal permission slip — a focused moment for holding the visualization of a preferred reality. Bashar affirms this as "a lovely permission slip," while reminding the asker that its power comes from the meaning and permission assigned to it, not from a mandated technique. ## The act is neutral; intention decides Bashar consistently treats sexual acts as fundamentally neutral. Whether masturbation or any other act, the effect depends on the intention, alignment, and honesty with which it is done; if it genuinely represents your highest excitement, by definition it cannot harm you. The work is not to obey or reject a fixed bodily rule but to honestly examine motivation, because self-deception — pretending something is excitement when it is not — is the real risk. A specific question about semen retention is answered with an exertion analogy: sweating releases water without permanently reducing power, because the body regenerates. The point is not a rule about retention but an invitation to attend to intention — a genuine excitement regenerates what is spent. ## Why Earth carries guilt around sex When asked why sex is so burdened with guilt and disease on Earth, Bashar locates the cause in society's inherited definitions: fear of being out of control, fear of discovering portions of the self, and a belief in not deserving love. Over time those fears hardened into the moral and legal prohibitions forbidding the very feeling itself. The remedy is not a new rule but a re-examination of the definitions that loaded the act with shame. The same principle is applied to the collective symbol of homosexuality and AIDS. Bashar frames these as a society-scale reflection of an imbalance created by refusing to blend male and female energy within each individual. Once each person allows that blending equally — regardless of physical form — the symbols that were needed to force the issue are no longer necessary. ## Consent as the sociological principle The ethical frame Bashar gives for sexual interaction is consent and clear communication. When individuals explain themselves and their beliefs clearly so that everyone involved knows who they are interacting with, and when those involved consciously consent to interact on that level, no harm has been done — and no judgment need apply. He is explicit that this consent must come from "those that are capable of giving consent," drawing a clear boundary around children and any case where genuine consent is absent. ## Practical implications The practical orientation these transcripts offer is inner before it is behavioral. Because the act itself is neutral, the work is to examine the intention, alignment, and definitions you bring to it; a feeling of guilt or fear is a signal to look at the underlying belief rather than a verdict on the act. For couples, a shared practice can be used as a permission slip for a preferred state, with its meaning assigned by those who share it. The collective implication is that society-level friction around sexuality eases as individuals blend the male and female polarities within themselves; what gets forced at the collective level is no longer needed once that inner balance is chosen. These are Bashar's attributed teachings on the inner and symbolic dimension of sexuality; they are not medical, psychological, or reproductive health advice, and nothing here should be read as direction regarding any health condition or therapeutic decision. ## Representative passages In keeping with this topic, I'd like to know some information on the procreation process for your species. [...] The physical process is, again, as you would say, practically, identical to your own, with the exception for the most part of what you turn to eat the gestation period. How long is that? Seven months. At what point does the consciousness enter the body? Same as your own, just prior to birth.— Bashar, Sex (sex#qa-1) How do your people get sexually stimulated [...]? The energy of the love being shared [...] simply we recognize that it is in this way the energy and the event which we thus allow ourselves to flow into. [...] How old does the females start having children? [...] The capability exists in this way, upon an average of what you turn to be 16. [...] Do we have menopause? No. [...] It will [...] usually cease somewhere in the 200s.— Bashar, Sex (sex#text) Aside from procreation, what is the purpose of sex on this planet? The alignment of energy points within you. Accessing consciousness, different levels of consciousness, including the physical level [...] one of the ways beings can express the connection to all the different levels, all the different polarities of the energy that they are [...] why is there so much guilt and so much dis-ease and so much upset around the sexual issue? [...] mostly because of some of the fears that your society generated certain ideas, certain perspectives of limitation, and being out of control [...] fearing to love yourself, believing you don't deserve the love.— Bashar, Consensus Reality (consensus-reality#qa-2) Is masturbation a positive thing or a negative thing? [...] Anything and everything can serve both functions. Everything is fundamentally neutral. [...] If it is truly your excitement, then by definition it cannot harm you.— Bashar, Masturbation (masturbation#qa-1) Sex is an alignment of all the different levels, thus then grounding the higher energy into physical energy in an aligned way and opening up channels within the body that allows for communication back to the higher level. [...] as long as there is consensus and consent among the idea of those that are capable of giving consent, then in that sense, it is all for a positive reason.— Bashar, of2Graph Of Growth (of2graph-of-growth#text) ## Related - [Essassani (Bashar's Civilization)](https://sassani.app/topic/essassani) - [Children](https://sassani.app/topic/children) - [Unconditional Love](https://sassani.app/topic/unconditional-love) - [Definitions & Beliefs](https://sassani.app/topic/definitions-and-beliefs) Markdown twin of https://sassani.app/topic/sex.
