Eros and HealingAn Introductionby
JOHN
YATES
One
hears
a
lot
these
days
about
sexual
healing,
which
seems
to
have
been
given
buzzword
status
in
recent
years. Problem
is,
little
of
what
I
hear
about
or
read
on
this
subject
seems
real
to
me.
It
simply
doesn’t
ring
true
with
what
I
have
seen
in
my
own
life.
Much
of
it
is
rather
esoteric,
combining
aspects
of
Tantra
with
generic
New
Age
healing
beliefs.
I
suppose
it
is
fair
to
say
that
I
am
not
especially
esoteric.
Something
seems
missing
to
me
in
these
approaches
to
sexual
healing.
What’s
missing
for
me
is
the
language
of
the
heart. This series consists of two poems and a prose piece that can be read as either fiction or a play. They reflect my own experiences in life, and the realities I have lived.
