Erosian Treatise on the Physical Self
Erosian Theory And Practice may at some points be
abbreviated as ETAP.
DPT
As an Erosian is well aware, our theory and practice stems
from the physical act of sex. Sex has been defined on many
levels, detailing its influence in love, family, lust,ect.
However it is in the best interest of the studied Erosian
to separate the levels of his/her sexuality and come to an
understanding on each level. By following the above listed
order of sexual definition, we will look at how Erosian
Theory can apply to all levels of sexuality.
LOVE - Erosian Theory finds its biggest opposition, as
well as it's biggest supporter in the love relationship.
Unless both parties are involved in the Erosian study,
growth, desire, and demand will differ. However when two
compatible people, who both work and understand Erosian
Theory join together in an EXCLUSIVE EROSIAN RELATIONSHIP
they join together to grow, experience and build on the
Erosian concepts together, exploring to the desired growth
potential. Erosian concepts do allow for non-Erosian
relationships, at which time the Erosian should be aware
that he/she will need to limit the physical experience
growth, and expand mentally, or look to physical self
growth via self gratification.
FAMILY - Although Erosian Theory takes a backseat to the
proper way to raise children, many of it's ideals can
apply. Personal respect for ones's thoughts and actions,
dignity in sexual relationships, respect for the thoughts
and actions or others, as well as the non-judgemental
aspect of Erosian Theory makes for strong teaching tools
when working to define a child's attitudes toward sex.
Once again, it cannot be stated emphatically enough that
Erosian Theory and Practice in no way espouses any sexual
activity amongst children.
LUST - This is the cornerstone of the Erosian Theory.
Although we have grown to respond to lust as a negative
term, usually defined as base sexual instinct, this is
merely another program set by narrow minded individuals
who cannot understand the natural goodness inherant in
sexual activity. When we understand that so many of these
individuals see sex as the original sin, it is easy to
understand the misdefinition of the word LUST. Lust is
merely the physical side of sexual desire, divorced
somewhat from love. Love details the emotional state of
two people together, whereas lust defines the physical.
Lust can be experienced without the trappings of love very
rarely in our society. ETAP allows us to change this. With
ETAP as our motivating focus, we can recognize desire, and
channel it independent of a love interest. When the lust
motivation is present in an individual who cannot
differentiate between lust and love, or can differentiate
but feels guilt associated with the lust not love
relationship, the focus of desire is diminished, guilt
replaces happiness, and sadness and confusion grow where
there should be happiness and enjoyment. One of the first
questions an ETAP follower should ask him/her self is
this: "Am I in love/like with this person, or do I desire
a physical experience(s) with him/her?" When the answer is
determined, and if it is the latter of the two choices,
then the Erosian should be very aware that the
relationship is fun, enjoyable, growth oriented, but
should not place love-valued emotions into play. False
love can build unnecessary jelousy, anger, guilt and lack
of self worth. You need to remember what you are and why
you are doing what you do. Don't be afraid or guilty to
call a sexual relationship what it is; a sexual
relationship. If both parties define the terms, it becomes
comprehendable to forsee relationships where two or three
people get together because of a specific sexual desire,
and work toward fulfilling that desire. It is not
impossible to forsee special interest groups formed where
the members would exchange ideas and work toward a
guiltless group that could interact together. The key to
this is honest and open communication and participation.
Philosophy aside, there is also a certain degree to be
said about performance and satisfaction. If an Erosian
recognizes his or her sexuality, they must also have a
desire to increase their abilites. In otherwords, a
by-line to ETAP is increased sexual prowess. Please
remember that this is not a measure of how much you please
youself, but how much you please your partner. Mutual
satisfaction leads to greater input from each partner, and
makes positive growth faster and stronger. (For more

and Guidelines)
But to the focus of the treatise: The Physical Self. To
paraphrase Stephen Hayes, reknowned martial artist and
author, "I have experienced many things that people would
say go beyond the physical realm. However upon closer
examination, I have found that they are inherently
physical." The purpose of his statement was to show that
many times we associate the occult and the unknown with
magic and evil, when in reality, these things are the most
natural, and most assuredly of the physical realm.
In my concept of the physical plane, I find that all
things come from the state of the physical self. Our
body's organs, glands, nerves, etc are the instruments of
our passage of this plane. The health of these tools and
our ability to utilize them for our own pleasure is the
focus of Erosian Physicality.
If we conceive of the power that drives our physical
bodies as energy, or the aura as I call it, then positive
reinforcement of the structure that houses that power can
only be good. The pleasure associated by the experience of
the focused power in action is often seen by a runner's
"high", an adrenalin surge, or in our situation, the
orgasm. To enhance this pleasure, we should follow a
course that stresses health, fitness and training of our
sexual selves. When the physical self is honed to a fine
point where we can experience the pleasures of orgasm in
depth and focused, then we can begin to channel the energy
released at this point for positive use in our lives.
The point of physicality and the physical self is of value
to the Erosian only. Sadly in today's world, many people
experience orgasm like a fast food meal. Quick and tasty,
but lacking in nutrition, and with no real value to the
senses. Orgasm should be the dessert in a seven course
meal, the coup de' gras of the experience, to be savored
and remembered. However unlike a seven course meal, an
orgasm should be a frequent and common activity.
