On the topic of sex and the ego/pain-body, here’s a radio Interview with Eckhart Tolle on the subject…
This can sometimes happen when you’re not conscious of your own pain-body and your pain-body has linked into the sexual center, then you may be seeking out somebody as a sexual partner or life partner who you can sense—or rather the pain-body can sense that this person will give it what it needs, which is further pain.
The way out of it is obviously to make it conscious. To realize, to become conscious of your own pain-body as it arises. Bring awareness to it. You may not be immediately free, but at least you can be there as awareness. And awareness gives you a choice of following the impulse that you feel inside your pain-body, or by saying “I can feel this impulse in my pain-body, but my choice is not to follow it, not to act on it.” And so then as more awareness comes in, more freedom comes in—freedom from being controlled by the pain-body. It may not go away immediately. Old patterns may remain still for years, it can happen. But at least there’s not complete identification anymore with them.
