I just came across Osho?s provocative words below?? And I am asking anyone with long? experience of Osho and Osho?s ashram/commune, (such as many of the contributors to Sannyasnews),? whether Osho is just here ?the speaker?,? as is often said speaking very well, but contrary wise on all manner of subjects to take his disciples beyond their egos ? and sometimes with the tongue very much in the cheek?? Or when He pronounces on such subjects,? can he be said in the normal sense to be standing behind his words??

Osho: Premarital and Extramarital Relationships
Man is by nature polygamous. Monogamy is enforced on him. To satisfy his polygamous nature, man created prostitutes. Prostitution and Private Property are by-products of Marriage and Family. And this ugly institution of prostitution and possessing private properties will not disappear from the world unless marriage disappears.
Most of the marital problems arise because premarital and extramarital sex is denied. In a better human society premarital and extramarital sex should be appreciated.
Unless a man or a woman has lived in many pre-marital relationships there is no possibility of choosing a right partner. This is such a simple phenomenal! Unless you have experienced many women and men in your life, how can you choose who is going to be the right person to live with?
I am not against extra-marital relationships. Extra-marital relationships help marriage, they don?t destroy it. The people who are against them are really teaching you possessiveness in an indirect way. When I say I am not against extra-marital relationships I am teaching you non-possessiveness.
Extra-marital relationships are very significant, immensely helpful to psychological growth and maturity. In the new world, to which I have dedicated my whole life, there should be no marriage ? only lovers. And as long as they are pleased to be together, they can be together; and the moment they feel that they have been together too long, a little change will be good. All the psychologists are agreed on one point: couples who love each other should have a few love affairs once in a while. Those love affairs will renew their relationship, will refresh it. You will start seeing beauty and a greater intimacy again in your old lover. Intimacy is far more fulfilling than any sexual relationship can ever be.
If one allows nature without any inhibitions to take its own course, one transcends biology, body, mind, without any effort and can taste the ultimate bliss which is not dependent on your biology, body or mind. But we are full of inhibitions. If you are repressive, then you cannot transcend biological pulls naturally, without any effort. So, the first thing to be remembered is that nature is right.
To transform sexual energy into spirituality is my basic approach.
