I've just read a report in the press here that a group of scientists (with too much time on their hands) have concluded that the value of a 'good sex life' is around A$71,000 per annum. That's around US$50k to our currency-challenged american brothers.
Their definition of a good sex life is 4 humps a month 
Putting aside their limited shagging ambition and lots of questions about how they put a value on it, it made me wonder how much sex we could get for A$71,000. At current exchange rates, that's around 2,060,000 baht. Hehehehe... I think that might keep me happy for a while.
Gimme a quarter of that for shagging, and I'd die within a few months.
LOS - best value happiness in the world.

In some sect of Buddhist religions ( tantric ), one believes one truly see the face of the Creator ( or the " void " ) when one is cuming with the big " O ". It is believed that when the mind is totally devoid of thoughts ( as when "cuming " ), we are one with with the cosmo. But I was surprised to read similar belief in the popular book " the Da Vinci Code ". So the value of sex is beyond the physical pleasure of the flesh, it is spiritual ( for those who are " awakened " enough to experience it ) when the two sexes make union. Can you put a value on that ? No. Should we get some all the time ? You bet !

tantric is Hindu. Not even really Hindu, it has more to do with Shiv and Kali than rest of Hinduism.
The big O is what you get when you worship the Yoni.

An excerpt from the following article reg. Tantric Buddhism
http://members.aol.com/Heraklit1/tantra.htm
A history of pantheism and scientific pantheism by Paul Harrison.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quote :
I have visited in my wanderings shrines and other places of pilgrimage, But I have not seen another shrine blissful like my own body.
At first sight nothing seems more alien to the oldest form of Buddhism, Theravada, than Tantric Buddhism. Where Theravada urges us to reflect on the repulsiveness of the body, Tantric Buddhism tells us to revere it as a temple and to indulge its most sensual impulses. Theravada preaches the renunciation of all desires: Tantric Buddhism their over-fulfillment.
These are very real and significant differences. If we regard nirvana as an ultimate reality which is revered as virtually divine, then most Mahayana schools of Buddhism are pantheisms of the world-rejecting and world-denying varieties (see Varieties of Pantheism). Tantric Buddhism is a pantheism of the world-accepting variety which sees nirvana in the midst of sense-phenomena.
Tantric Buddhism also laid great emphasis on mantras (incantations), on mudras (symbolic gestures) and on mandalas (symbolic diagrams of deities and cosmic forces), as well as on magic and a multiplicity of deities.
Yet it has two major points in common with its parent.
The first is that it aims at the abandonment or transcendence of the self. Once again, its favoured method - the ecstasy of ritual sexual intercourse and orgasm - is quite foreign to Theravada Buddhism. The Buddha scolded his pupil Ananda for giving in to female attractions.
The sexual aspect of Tantric Buddhism has attracted a great deal of attention, sometimes puritanical, sometimes prurient. Some of the Tantric sutras, such as the Guhyasamaja-tantra, describe elaborate rituals for group orgies. Many scholars claim that these passages are not to be taken literally. They are said to be symbolic of the union of wisdom (symbolized by the female) and means (the male).
However, some groups did practise the rituals literally and in the flesh. These are likely to have been primarily males of the higher classes, who could buy lower-caste women or high-class prostitutes to do what they liked with, or landless castes, who had no property to pass on, and for whom female virginity was less critical.
Tantric Buddhism shares another factor with many schools of Mahayana Buddhism. It claims that the existence of the physical world is illusory, and therefore there is no difference between samsara (the world of transmigration and shifting appearances) and nirvana.
If this is true, then all we need to be liberated is to realize it. As long as we do so, it makes no difference how we act. We can rape, murder, commit incest - as some of the more extreme Tantric texts encourage - and we will remain undefiled by the world of illusion. In this amoral position Tantric teachings resembled those of the Nicolaitan Gnostics and the Brethren of the Free Spirit.
Tantric sex rituals were elaborate. In the chakrapuja between eight and forty eight male and female celebrants gather and take cannabis. The priest anoints and has intercourse with a nude young girl, retaining his semen for the congregation to drink. Feasting and drinking follow, and the ceremony ends in ritual copulation accompanied by reciting of mantras. The purpose (allegedly) is not to have a good time, but to use sexual union and orgasm as a way to extinction of the self and fusion with the underlying reality and unity.
Tantric Buddhism probably began around 300 AD as an esoteric development among small circles of initiates, passed down from guru to pupil. It gathered momentum after 600 AD, and was espoused by the rulers of a kingdom known as Uddyana (possibly around Peshawar in modern Pakistan) and by the Pala dynasty in Bengal (750-1150). It was largely suppressed during the Moghul period.
