CONTEMPLATIONS ON GOD AND ORGASM
CATHERINE FAIRFIELD HAYES
“Very well documented. Brought up ideas I had not thought of before.”
Lenard Davis, Author
“The author is a very creative thinker. This book has given me innovative thoughts regarding God and Orgasm.”
Harriet Bemus
“A brilliant psychoanalysis of God.”
Linda Winkle, Attorney
“The Author’s very thoughtful analysis and hypothesis equating god to orgasm are indeed a provocative one for regious zealots but more importantly, stimulating for researchers of psychoanalytical personality theories of behaviour. It will be interesting to observe the extent and perspective of articles that will follow “Contemplations on God and Orgasm”
Richard S. Schnarr
M.A. Educational Psychology
“Though a series of fscinating questions, the author encourages readers to ponder the parallels between orgasm and our human perception of the divine. “Contemplations” is an engaging, enlightening and always thought-provoking read”.
Marti Kanna, New Leaf Editing

Introduction
If the Three Wise Men were alive today—i.e., Balthasar, Melchior and Gaspar, the Magi who followed the star of Bethlehem to the manger where Jesus was born—they would most likely be in jail. It would not be for spreading any false propaganda about the birth of Jesus, but for the crime of incest.
As members of the priestly class of Persia, the Magi, they were practitioners of Khvetukdas—i.e., next-of-kin marriage—whose tenets were as follows:
"The consummation of the mutual assistance of men is Khvetukdas...That union...is...that with nearest kinsfolk, and, among near kinsfolk, that with those next-of-kin; and the mutual connection of the three kinds of nearest kin, which are father and daughter, son and she who bore him, and brother and sister...is the most complete that I have considered."*
(Thus explained by a Zoroastrian priest to a Jewish objector.)* Others who doubted might have reconsidered its merits by this efficacious description:
"When the millenium is about to dawn, ‘all mankind will perform Khvetukdas, and every fiend will perish through the miracle of Khvetukdas. The first time that a man practices it a thousand demons will die, and two thousand wizards and witches...and when he goes near it four times, it is known that a man and a woman become perfect...Whoever keeps one year in a marriage of Khvetukdas becomes just as though one-third of all this world...had been given by him...unto a righteous man...And when he keeps four years in his marriage, and his (funeral) ritual is performed, it is known that his soul goes into the supreme heaven; and when the ritual is not performed, it goes thereby to the ordinary heaven. The good deeds of those who observe Khvetukdas are a hundred times more effacacious than the same deeds performed by other pious men; and the penalty for dissuading from it is hell." ¹
Since this practice was well known throughout the classical world, and by no means pleasing to everyone, why had the early Christian fathers brought the Magi into the manger? Could the answer have come in the 19th century, when the Crucifixion was interpreted in psychoanalytical terms as a symbol of incest?
"Look upon the cross, with its outspread arms, and you will agree with me. The Son of God hangs and dies upon it. The Kreuz (cross, os sacrum) is the mother, and upon the mother we all of us must die. Oedipus! Oedipus!²
But other religions have also connected man’s sexual desires to God. In Judaism, the Divine Covenant between God and man is circumcision:
And God said to Abraham...This is my covenant which you shall keep...Every male among you shall be circumcised...in the flesh of your foreskins...So shall my covenant be in your flesh an everlasting covenant.
(Genesis 17)
In ancient Egypt, the word of God was symbolized by the phallus of Osiris, and in the Old and New Testament the word of God is repeatedly used. The famous opening of John is thus:
"In the beginning
