"The disordered sexuality of the Western (and some other) cultures is surely due to the fact that the sexual relationship has never been seriously integrated with and illuminated by a philosophy of life. It has had no effective contact with the realm of spiritual experience. It has never even achieved the dignity of an art, as in the Indian Kamasutra, and would thus seem to rank in our estimation far below cookery."
--Alan Watts, Nature, Man, and Woman, pp. 11-12
