Abstract

This article analyzes sex as a vital and sacred dimension of human experience, based on the GAESEMA Ontology and the philosophy of the Angolan thinker Gilson Guilherme Miguel Ângelo. The author argues that sex is the fundamental creative force of existence, an intimate, personal, and non-transferable experience—comparable to the act of savoring a juicy fruit. By integrating the concepts of “Decision” (the 6th Element of Human Nature) and “Consequence” (the 7th Element), the text shows that every sexual experience is rooted in conscious or unconscious choices that generate emotional, spiritual, and social outcomes. Repressing sexuality without understanding it is to deny the essence of life, opening the door to illness, guilt, and spiritual disintegration. This article proposes a conscious, disciplined, and ethical approach to sexuality, reclaiming its sacred value as a portal of creation, self-knowledge, and healing.

Introduction

To the Angolan philosopher Gilson Guilherme Miguel Ângelo, speaking about sex is to touch the most sensitive dimension of human experience—not merely due to its biological role, but because of its spiritual, emotional, and energetic function in shaping the self. In this chapter, drawn from the GAESEMA Ontology, sex is not treated as a taboo, but rather as a field of creative power, a source of existence, and a sacred portal reconnecting us to the origin of life.

This text assumes that each human being experiences sexuality in a unique and silent way, making it impossible to fully regulate this experience through social, religious, or political norms. Within this framework, the author presents the elements of “Decision” and “Consequence” as keys to understanding how sexual experiences shape character, identity, and spiritual health.

The aim of this reflection is to demystify sex as a tool of repression, to free it from the symbolic ignorance imposed by systems of domination, and to restore it to its rightful place: a space of consciousness, respect, and transcendence.

1. The Origin of Sexual Taboo and Its Invisible Power
   The word “taboo” comes from Polynesian culture, meaning something both sacred and forbidden. Throughout history, this concept has been used to place a layer of fear and mystery over sex. When sex is labeled as dirty or dangerous, it ceases to be free. The taboo becomes a tool of control, chaining desire with guilt. The more sexuality is repressed, the more society submits to external rules. Thus, sexual taboo has evolved from a tradition into a mechanism of social and spiritual domination.
2. Sex and Fear: How This Alliance Was Formed
   Since ancient times, many traditions have linked sex to sin, demons, or impurity. Religions and institutions reinforced this idea, instilling fear of the body and pleasure. This fear turns into guilt, and guilt breeds submission. When a person fears their own desire, they lose autonomy over themselves. Fear of sex is essentially fear of freedom, as sex awakens power, instinct, and creativity—forces that rigid systems find difficult to control.
3. The Body as Occupied Territory
   By controlling sexuality, the system also controls people’s bodies. The body becomes surveilled, silenced, and punished. Natural touches, desires, and emotions are deemed “sins.” This creates a disconnection between the self and the body, leading to repression, shame, and alienation. Sexual taboo acts like an invisible fence: the body ceases to be free territory and becomes a field of cultural control. This blockage limits individual freedom and self-awareness.
4. Sex as Creative Energy
   Sex is not just a physical act: it is vital energy, creative force, and a motor for transformation. When this energy is repressed, creativity dies. When it is released, the impulse to live, love, and innovate emerges. Controlling sex means controlling creation; it interrupts the natural flow of existence. Therefore, controlling sexual desire is one of the most powerful tools of domination systems—it strips people of their most sacred power: the ability to create their own reality.
5. How the Taboo Became a System
   Sexual taboo didn’t arise by chance. It was systematized as a strategic instrument. Christian morality, for example, reduced sex to reproduction and dismissed pleasure as unworthy. Female sexuality was denied, silenced, and domesticated by patriarchy. Under capitalism, sex became a product—still wrapped in guilt. The taboo didn’t disappear; it simply changed form, shifting from prohibition to controlled consumption. The system profits by selling pleasure and guilt simultaneously.
6. Religious Morality and Pleasure Censorship
   For centuries, religions—especially monotheistic ones—taught that sex is a sin. The Catholic Church, during the Middle Ages, condemned pleasure, allowing sex only for reproduction. This caused a collective trauma: pleasure became dirty, and the body, dangerous. The result was a society burdened by internalized sexual guilt, fear of nudity, and disconnection from its own nature. This morality didn’t educate for love but for repression and suffering.
7. The Control of Female Sexuality
   Historically, the female body was treated as male property. Female virginity became currency, and sexual purity a moral obligation. Women who expressed desire were labeled sinners or promiscuous. This control was not only religious but political. By repressing women, the system kept patriarchal structures intact. Female sexual autonomy has always been viewed as a threat to traditional social order.
8. Capitalism, Desire, and the Body Market
   In the modern world, sexual repression gave way to another issue: the commodification of sex. Sexual repression was replaced by a new form of control: the marketing of desire. Capitalism turned sex into a product—exploited by the fashion, pornography, advertising, and entertainment industries. The body became a display or bait, and pleasure a commodity. But this is not liberation—it’s another form of domination. Guilt and shame persist, now masked as apparent freedom. This “freedom” hides a new kind of oppression: manipulation of libido without spiritual awareness. The market of desire hijacks vital energy, creating frustration, guilt, and emotional emptiness disguised as liberty. As warned by GAESEMA Ontology, when sex is reduced to a commercial function, it ceases to be sacred energy and becomes psychological noise, weakening the human essence.
9. Emotion and Repression: The Psychological Impact
   Repressing sex is also repressing emotions. Sexual desire repression means repressing the emotional being. Sexual energy is not separate from our soul—it is the expression of emotional life. Those who repress desire also repress love, tenderness, crying, and anger. This energy is the source of tenderness, affectionate touch, creative rage, joy, and healing tears. Blocking desire blocks the most authentic expression of our humanity. This leads to emotional blockages, psychosomatic illnesses, emotional disorders, and toxic relationships. Sexual repression is a form of spiritual anesthesia, preventing individuals from living authentically. Liberating sex is also liberating the heart.
10. Creativity and Sexuality: One and the Same Energy
    The creative energy that drives art, science, projects, and dreams comes from the same energetic center as sexuality. Sexual energy is the same that creates music, projects, artwork, and revolutionary ideas. Every creative person is essentially an integrated sexual being—whether consciously or not. When this force is blocked, denied, or judged, creative potential is also repressed. The person becomes passive, repetitive, and dull. Sexual repression not only affects the body but also the creative and productive power of the being. Those in conflict with their own desire rarely create with freedom. Liberating desire reignites creativity. In GAESEMA Philosophy, the productive human being is one who integrates desire with work—who sees life’s eroticism as a force of construction and invention. Liberated sex is also liberated creativity.
11. Sex, Power, Domination, Submission, and Inner Freedom
    Historically, sex has always been used as a tool of submission or empowerment. Whoever controls the body and desire of another, controls their soul. Totalitarian regimes, governments, religions, authoritarian families, and patriarchal systems have all used sexual taboo as a form of control. These systems suppressed pleasure to subjugate bodies and shape consciousness. Whoever controls their own or another’s desire controls the soul. But the opposite is also true: whoever reclaims their own body regains their inner power. True freedom only occurs when the human reclaims ownership of their desire and pleasure—when the individual stops obeying imposed guilt and starts listening to their deeper truth.
12. How to Break the Cycle of the Taboo?
    Breaking the taboo is not about attacking others’ morals, but healing the root of our own shame. The solution is not to deny the taboo but to bring it into the light of consciousness. We must ask: Who taught me to fear or be ashamed of pleasure? Why? Where does my guilt come from? This internal inquiry is a liberation process. It is not about libertinism or a war of counter-values, but about re-humanizing the body. The first step is to look at the body with respect and understand that pleasure is a right, not a sin. As defended by Gilson Guilherme Miguel Ângelo in GAESEMA Ontology, sexual shame is a culturally imposed decision that generates deep ontological consequences. Overcoming it requires awareness, self-respect, and a new pedagogy of love.
13. Sex as a Spiritual Path
    Conscious sex is a bridge to the spiritual. When presence, desire, and love coexist, the sexual act becomes a living prayer. There is no separation between body and soul—the body becomes a temple, touch becomes blessing or communion, and orgasm becomes expanded consciousness. Sexual energy, when well directed, can heal traumas, dissolve fears, and reconnect the being with the divine. Conscious sex is not libertinism—it is embodied spirituality.
14. Sexual Education as Philosophical Liberation
    A mature society does not repress sex—it educates about it wisely. The absence of sexual education generates ignorance, fear, and the perpetuation of violence. The GAESEMA Philosophy proposes education that unites body, mind, and spirit—teaching pleasure with responsibility, desire with empathy, and eroticism with ethics. We need schools, families, and community spaces where sex is treated as life, not taboo. To educate is to illuminate; to illuminate sex is to enable more human, freer, and more conscious relationships.
15. Where Are We Going?
    The next sexual revolution will not be marked by libertinism, positions, total freedom, or moral breakdown but by spiritual reconciliation. It will be a revolution of presence, awareness, and loving responsibility. Thinker Gilson Guilherme Miguel Ângelo defines this new era as “the restoration of sexual nature as a sacred force of existence.” The future demands courage to review inherited beliefs and maturity to honor the body as a divine dimension. The taboo will not disappear overnight, but truth—once embraced—dissolves fear. The path is inward: from trauma to transcendence, from shame to the sacred.

Sex: The Sacred Portal of Human Existence in GAESEMA Ontology
For Angolan philosopher Gilson Guilherme Miguel Ângelo, sex is the most profound and sensitive expression of the human being. It is not merely a biological, social, or pleasurable act. Above all, it is a portal of existence, the primordial force that enables life’s birth, species continuity, and the being’s reconnection with itself. Talking about sex is talking about the origin of humanity itself. It is about the vital spark that propels the body, moves the soul, and connects the spirit to its ontological mission.

Contrary to reductionist, moralist, or purely hedonistic views, Gilson Ângelo invites us to contemplate sex as a multidimensional energetic field where body, soul, and spirit intertwine. In this sacred space, touch becomes language, gaze becomes bond, and pleasure—when experienced consciously—becomes healing. The way each society understands and lives sex largely determines its emotional health, spiritual maturity, and inner freedom.

According to GAESEMA Ontology, sex holds a central place in forming the integral human being. Denying or repressing this energy is to deny human nature itself. That is why the author affirms that sex should be disciplined, but never repressed. Repression breeds shadow, disconnection, guilt, and obsession. Conscious use of this vital energy leads to elevation, true love, and inner balance. When sex is understood as sacred, the body is seen as a temple, and the sexual act becomes a liturgy of touch.

In this sense, each human being experiences sex uniquely, as one savors a juicy fruit. It is an intimate, sensory, affective, and non-transferable experience. No religion, doctrine, or theory can translate what happens in the core of a true encounter. Physical and emotional contact with another is deeply personal. As the author himself says: “no one explains the taste of a fruit; one simply feels it.”

The attempt to moralize sex without penetrating its complexity and depth produces devastating effects: religious guilt, psychological disorders, abusive relationships, symbolic violence, and emotional ignorance. For Gilson Ângelo, the way forward is not censorship but disciplinary consciousness: understanding, accepting, educating, and integrating sex as a life dimension.

This is where the logic of the Elements of Human Nature in GAESEMA Ontology comes in. Sex, like any expression of existence, is not dissociated from the decisions we make and their resulting consequences. Gilson structures this dynamic in Elements 6 and 7:

• The 6th Element is Decision: every sexual act arises from a choice—conscious or unconscious.
• The 7th Element is Consequence: that choice bears effects—life, pleasure, love, but also pain, frustration, illness, or trauma.

This vision replaces the logic of sin with the logic of ontological responsibility. If the sexual decision is made without awareness, consequences inevitably arise as warnings of disconnection between body and soul. But if made with respect, consent, truth, and care, sex becomes a vehicle for self-knowledge, liberation, and healing.

The author also highlights the impact of unresolved sexual experiences on emotional, cultural, and spiritual levels. Sexual repression imposed by certain religious systems or cultural norms disconnected from reality only intensifies individuals’ and societies’ inner conflicts. Thus, educating for conscious sex, in the GAESEMA perspective, is educating for freedom, respect for life, and the flourishing of healthy love.

Sex, when aligned with nature, heart, and spirit, reconnects the human being to their original state of unity. It restores communion, mutual respect, and meaningful pleasure. Instead of being a source of pain, it becomes a bridge to the divine, a language of the soul. This is the invitation from Gilson Guilherme Miguel Ângelo: to reclaim the sacredness of sex as a path to reconnect with one’s essence.

As Carl Jung once said, “what is repressed becomes shadow.” Repressed desire returns as guilt, addiction, or obsession. Today it manifests in pornography, compulsive adultery, pedophilia, forced prostitution, and various distortions of sexual energy, highlighting the prominence of decisions and consequences in every human.

Yet there is a path to healing: conscious reconnection with the body, sacred pleasure, healthy intimacy, respectful touch, and listening to desire. Sex, in this sense, must be educated, ritualized, spiritualized. Its place is not one of shame, but of truth; not repression, but respect.

In a world where sex is used as a weapon of manipulation or an object of consumption, GAESEMA Ontology proposes a return to the sacred sexuality as the foundation of healthy, integral human life. This demands new forms of sexual education—not only technical, but also philosophical, emotional, and spiritual. It requires courage to look inward and recognize how sex reflects our own relationship with life.

Ultimately, each human being has a unique sensitive field. Like a fingerprint, touch, gaze, desire, and pleasure are individual. The true challenge is to cultivate this field with discipline, love, and awareness so that sex is not merely reproduction or pleasure, but above all, communion, creation, and transcendence.
