arises at the age of forty-two. If everything goes naturally, then at the age of forty-two, sex will again disappear. But nothing goes naturally, mm? So seventy years, eighty years, and sex.... Because everything is repressed. Exactly at fourteen years, sex starts, at twenty eight it reaches its peak, and at forty-two sex recedes; the circle is complete. Suddenly sex disappears. So this may be the last flame of it. Don't be worried.
Otherwise it can linger on -- that's why I say to be active, so you are finished with it and it doesn't linger. Because this is the problem: if the body becomes old and sex lingers on in the mind, then it is very difficult to change it, because now no bodily expression is possible. Then sex becomes a ghostly phenomenon... then it hovers around the head, and you cannot do anything about it. That's what happens to old men... that's why they are called dirty old people (laughter). They cannot do anything but their mind goes on thinking, fantasising -- and they fantasise more because now that is the only activity left.
So before that happens, I would like everybody to be finished with it. What is your age right now?
[She answers: Forty-six. I thought I was over it!]
Mm... just be active, and be finished. It is going to go, so before it goes have a last taste of it!

[Osho gave an individual meditation to a newly-arrived sannyasin.... ]
Start doing one meditation in the night before you go to sleep.
Put off the light and just stand in the darkness. Then start shaking from the head, just the head. Enjoy the shaking and feel how it feels from inside, mm? Then shake the upper part of the body -- the head, the hands, the torso; don't shake the lower part.
When you feel and enjoy that, then shake the lower part. Then when you feel and enjoy that, shake the whole body. So in three parts: first the head, just the head, second the torso, third the whole body.
