I have recently been introduced to Gnostic teachings. I keep coming across sex and reading that the orgasm is wrong and that the Great Work cannot be accomplished if there is an orgasm.
So what if I have been having sex for a while? I will be 28 soon. I have a masturbation issue that I have been working on. I plan to stop. Will it make any difference since I have already engaged in sexual promiscuity and have had orgasms? Also, what about rape? I was assaulted at 12. I am not able to have children. I read a post discussing that men should not have a vasectomy or alter the organs in any way. What about for a woman, like me, who has had reproductive organs damaged? Is it still possible to gain spiritual understanding?

The only solution to our suffering is to harness all the power we have available inside of us, and direct it towards creating benefit for ourselves and others. No matter how terrible our suffering and mistakes have been in the past, or how limited our circumstances in the present, since we are still alive there is a chance to turn everything around and move in a better direction. The key to this is to genuinely understand what is beneficial behavior and what is harmful. The most important aspect of this is sexual, since sexual behavior accesses the greatest power within us.
It is stated in these teachings that a superior power (law) will make an inferior power (law) inert. By adopting positive, beneficial behaviors, we can eliminate the harmful influences within us and around us. In synthesis, no matter how bad you may have been, become very good now, and your previous actions can be forgiven or paid.
The reality is that all of us have sexual dysfunction and damage. Physically speaking, the most important physical element needed for our redemption is proper functioning of the sexual energy, i.e. the glands should be functional and capable of receiving and transmitting sexual energy in the cycle that we normally experience. Many men and women have varying degrees of damage to their organs, yet make progress on the path.
