Editorial Reviews

Product Description

The Beginner's Guide to Sex in the Afterlife is the follow-up to David Staume's quirky and popular Beginner's Guide for the Recently Deceased. It assumes, as did his first book, that the reader is dead, and takes the reader on a "tour" of the subject.

With humor and intelligence, this guidebook explores the origin, purpose, and potential of sexual energy. It explains how sexual energy moves through our solar system and through us. Readers will also learn how to work with sexual energy for a richer and more fulfilled life, balance their masculine and feminine energies, and improve the quality of their love.

About the Author

5.0 out of 5 stars An excerpt from the Introduction, August 29, 2006

By	David Staume - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

One of the best things about being dead is the opportunity we have to explore and understand things from a wholly new perspective. One of the worst things about being dead, though, is regret- regret that we didn't know these things before we died.

Welcome to the second in a series of tours of the afterlife, following The Beginner's Guide for the Recently Deceased (Llewellyn 2004). On that tour we examined our surroundings and the capacities of our astral body; we explored what was going on in the astral world, and who and what we might bump into on our travels; and we delved into the whys and wherefores of existence. On this tour, however, we are going to explore just one subject - but the most profound and most mysterious of them all: sex.

During this tour we will determine the source of our sexual energy, and we will trace its course through our bodies to reveal some of its extraordinary power and capacity. We will see sexual energies that are imperceptible to physical eyes, and we will observe them with the benefit of additional dimensions of space and time. We will observe different types of sexual activity, and we will find sex in some very unusual places. We will look into the deepest core of the subject so that we can grasp its essence, as well as observe it in action from the foot of the bed.

Our primary objective is to present an expansive sexual philosophy - something we don't have but sorely need. Although sex is constantly being talked about, thought about and practiced, it all seems to happen with little real understanding. We experience sexual feelings without knowing where they come from, what they're meant to do, or how best to use them. We have virtually no comprehension of the sexual big picture and no solid philosophical basis from which to judge its phenomena. We therefore find ourselves subject to a great deal of ignorance and manipulation.

If you think sex is something that's only applicable to physical bodies, that it's all about pleasure, that it's simply a function of friction or a gathering of groins, then you have glimpsed but a tiny fraction of it. Sexual energy may well be the greatest power in the cosmos. It is capable of utterly transforming us, and it is the only power capable of unfolding all our potential. And if you think that's overstating the case be prepared to be amazed.
