very tightly, as if you are afraid that something will go amiss if you relax. Your whole conditioning has been to keep it uptight. Relax it, leave it to itself. Don't be afraid: fear creates tension. Drop the fear. Sex is beautiful; it is not a sin, it is a virtue.
Once you think in terms of its being a virtue, you will be able to relax. I have talked about how to relax the MULADHAR before.
