The Red Thread of Passion

by David Guy

Is sex an enemy that must be subdued before spiritual practice can happen, or is it a powerful creative force and a vehicle of enlightenment? Opinions have differed throughout the ages. Rather than forcing his own answer, David Guy takes the question as an impetus for exploration, examining the lives and works of sexual pioneers-from poets to sex workers-for the wisdom they offer about how the sexual and spiritual might be united.
