“…Perhaps for this reason, the transpersonal potential of erotic experience has more or less been wholly abrogated within psychoanalytic literature, perhaps especially in its North American contributions (cf. Goethals, 1976). Notably, by the end of the 20 th century, commentators were bewailing the extent to which sexuality had either disappeared from psychoanalytic attention or was retained only nominally (cf.…”

Transpersonal perspectives on the meaningfulness of being human, and especially the significance of subtle energy teachings, necessitate a rethinking of the notion of sexuality, beyond definitions in terms of sex acts, biological endowments, or perhaps even the complex fantasia of desire. This redefining of the erotic dimension of human life leads both to appreciation of healing as inherently sexual and to understanding how the processes of transmutation by the forces of subtle energies profoundly differ from the transformations that representation of thoughts, feelings, and wishes may undergo. Cognitive access (including that of reflective self-consciousness) to these forces is inevitably limited and necessarily distorted. In this context, it is suggested that the esoteric traditions of mystical sexuality, including the teachings of authentic tantric practice, be reconsidered and appreciated for their transpersonal dimension.

The purpose of the present research was to develop an easily administered measure of intimacy that could apply to several types of relationships in adolescents and adults. In a set of four survey studies, the sixty-item Psychosocial Intimacy Questionnaire (PIQ) was found to have high internal consistency (alpha = 0.97) and good test-retest stability over a three-week interval, r = 0.84. Correlations with other measures provided evidence for convergent and discriminant validity of the PIQ. Factor analysis indicated that psychosocial intimacy may be a function of romantic love, supportiveness and communication ease. Intimacy level of heterosexual relationships in young adults appears to be more affected by partners' feminine qualities than by sex-typing or androgyny.
