The word sex is very beautiful. The original root of the word sex means division – sex means division.
If you are divided inside, then sex will be there. When you hanker after a woman or a man, what is happening? One of your parts is hankering to meet the other, but you are trying to meet the other outside. You can meet for a single moment; again you will be alone, because outside there can be no eternal meeting. Sex is bound to be just momentary because the other is the other.
If you meet your inner woman or man inside, then the meeting can be eternal. And when all divisions are lost this meeting happens. This is an alchemical transformation: your woman and man meet inside – you become one. And when you are one, you will have love.
