I found this Yoga article fascinating, compared to intimacy.

I dont practice yoga, but I found three paragraphs in this article fascinating, for some reason. Its sorta weird after reading this considering the spot mentioned my GF found one time, and uses it almost referring to my clitoris, in this article called the Kanda.

The attainment of androgyny can start with an adult who retouches their prepubescent or "third sex" feelings and perfects the source of those feelings. Adults suppress and forget the marvelous feelings associated with the perineum and lower abdomen of early childhood. The strong sexual-like feelings in that region are aroused with such things as holding your breath, twirling, dropping such as in a swing or teeter totter, or with pressure against the sensitive spot above the perineum. It can also be obtained from either inner muscle tensions or movement or from external rubbing, pounding, or tickling...

...This model starts with a description of an organ described as a yoni (a term also used to describe a woman's pudenda) that is associated with the vagina in women and in the same place in men but hidden beneath the male perineum. Portions of the yoni, called the kanda, can swell considerably when properly stimulated. This kanda extends to the surface of the perineum in both men and women and is manifested by a swelling that results in the formation of a tube-like protuberance that runs from behind the clitoris or penis back to the anus. The kanda when developed will have a thickness or diameter reaching up to two inches and is quite observable. During the initial development the kanda is very soft and easily pressed back although once more fully developed is able to exert considerable controllable outward pressure.

The development of the kanda is associated with the rise in very feminine sensations and characteristics that result in the increased union with others and sensuality of the body and senses. The development of the Shiva linga results in the increase in very strong masculine characteristics that forms a very directed drive toward a chosen goal and the attainment of the powers required to attain it. As the kanda is maintained, the body becomes softer, the breasts and nipples develop and become sensitive and active, the senses become more sensitive and the mind becomes more open. As the linga becomes maintained, the muscles become more efficient, limber, and quicker to respond; physical energy is increased; endurance is increased; and the mind becomes more analytical and directed.

The resulting individual, with the developed third sexual powers or with the kanda and Shiva linga, becomes truly androgynous with the physical characteristics of both sexes that in their union produce the source of ecstasy and power over the world

Actually quite interesting...a "third sex" organ...oh the puns we would make with that. 

Still, as one who once was very interested in yoga, (and would be again if they could get off their fat lazy hiney), I know very well how much truth can be found in their teachings.  Thanks for pointing this out, it could prove to be "enlightening" (Sorry, bad pun, but honest truth).

And, because you know I simply cannot be serious for very long, I just have to ask how your GF "found" this...was she bouncing you on her knee?

 i'd love this to be true, but I can't believe in any article that talks about the joys of childhood dying.

[Laurry]

Pica...you are telling me you never played "Cops and Robbers" or "Army" or "Cowboys and Indians" when you were a child?  I know you live in the UK, but still... 

I have great memories of being "shot" and rolling down a long hill into a pile of leaves...laughing all the way down, only to climb back up and do it all over again. Or of being the Captain on a ship, blown to pieces by cut-throat Pirates and doing the "dead man's float" for as long as I could hold my breath.

Watch the production any child makes out of "dying" and it just makes you feel wonderful inside.

Keep in mind that this only applies to PRETEND dying.  The real thing, especially when it happens to a child, is a tragic event and was not what was being discussed in the article.

Oh....

I was a great dyer. Could flip from standing still onto my back without hurting myself...dying was great because you could then be someone else.

Though I never played any of those games, I used to pretend I was a bird who invented things.

article meant play dead.

I still remember my five minute death scene as the wolf in my kindergarten's production of little red riding hood 

I watched too many cartoons and got a little carried away hehe

Hm, well, I read through the whole article, and although I found the information about how a child does not truly consider gender until instructed did interest me, yet, at the same time I argued that using natural instinct as a parameter[...] Nevertheless, as soon as the yoni and kanda jumped onto the stage I quircked a brow, and pondered if the authors were (as lisa said) 'religious cobblers'... Since as fascinating it may be to have a tube somewhere hidden in my body, it really does all appear a tad too hidden for me.

I do know that even religously India has had several main gods that are intersexed and have both gender behavior for many many years. Thus yoga coming from india and being related to religion, I would be surprised at the religous mixture of techniques, sexuality (Kama Sutra also came from India), and beliefs. Also the third sex gender did have a place in society in the past though modern ones are pushed into the gutters of society, like the article (Saturday, 05 July 2003) mentions in http://greatreporter.com/mambo/content/view/108/8

Interesting.

This "Kanda" might explain some experiences I've had which haven't been explained by other Yoga or Tantra teachings.  I sense much truth with this one.  Putting it into practice is another story.

I will have to meditate on this.  This may be the "hidden mana" I'm searching for.
