traveler doesn't know which end is up.<br />
Finally, there's the map drafted by those who declare themselves not<br />
only as tour guides, but proudly lay claim to this left-turning way in its<br />
entirety, hailing it as the very best place to be. However, should the unwary<br />
wayfarer consult such maps for even the simplest directions, it immediately<br />
becomes apparent that there's been some confusion. This mix-up, it seems, is<br />
due to a simple but enduring misappropriation of nomenclature. <strong>The</strong> area on<br />
these maps marked so conspicuously as "the left-hand path" turns out, on<br />
closer inspection, to be a different path altogether.<br />
Demons <strong>Of</strong> <strong>The</strong> Flesh, designed in part as a corrective to the false<br />
leads and detours described above, charts this hitherto misinterpreted path<br />
from a very different perspective. On our map, we clearly show you the<br />
complete road plan in all of its three-dimensional topography and<br />
complexity, starting from its remote ancient Eastern point of origination. We<br />
have also broken beneath the visible surface of this causeway to reveal the<br />
hidden archeological layers of the sinister current as it has coursed through<br />
time. Accompanying you through this voyage, we provide practical<br />
suggestions for navigating the leftward road in a contemporary Western<br />
world that provides no reliable compass.<br />

But enough metaphors about maps and paths. Let's face it, you<br />
picked this book up to read about sex.<br />
And there's certainly plenty of sex to be found in these pages,<br />
chronicling an infinite diversity of erotic experience. From the alchemy of<br />
menstrual blood and semen to the ritual worship of the vagina. Sex with<br />
promiscuous monks and sacred whores, from Tibet to Babylon. Necrophiliac<br />
sex in cremation grounds. Coprophiliac sex in Sicily. Incestuous sex in India.<br />
Vampiric sex in China. <strong>The</strong> orgasm as sacrifice. <strong>The</strong> orgasm prolonged. Sex<br />
with Goddesses. Psychic transexualism. Sex with disembodied beings.<br />
Sexual slavery. Sexual mastery. Sexual trance. Ancient Egyptian anal sex<br />
between Set and his nephew Horus. Oral sex. Autoerotic sex. Group sex.<br />
Telepathic sex. All kinds of sex sects. Tantric sex. Gnostic sex. Satanic sex.<br />
Sex with young virgins. Sex with the elderly. Sex with the wives of other<br />
men. Even sex with Jesus.<br />
However, the multi-bodied panorama of polymorphous delight that<br />
seeps from this book is not presented merely to stimulate the jaded or titillate<br />
ennuyé voluptuaries with novel deviations they have yet to try out. It's<br />
important to establish that there is a significant difference between the<br />
profound pleasure of sexuality enjoyed for its own sake as a physiological<br />
and aesthetic experience, and sexuality utilized for authentic magical or<br />
initiatory purposes – the nucleus of the left-hand path. Taken out of their<br />
proper context, the outwardly salacious tidbits pressed between these pages<br />
can – and probably will – be misinterpreted if this distinction is not taken into<br />
account.<br />
At the same time, it must be pointed out that the whole topic of<br />
sexual magic has been hedged about with a tremendous amount of hypocrisy,<br />
emanating both from practicing sex magicians and those merely observing<br />
their activities. For instance, many a curiosity-seeker has casually poked<br />
around the most superficial level of erotic magic, hoping to learn a few sex<br />
tips to spice up a lackluster love life. For the most part, this misguided<br />
playing at sex magic is merely a waste of time, generating little in the way of<br />
physical excitement, and absolutely nothing in the way of magic. But some<br />
self-righteous sex magicians have taken the school-marmish position that this<br />
fairly common phenomenon is "immoral" or "spiritually harmful", or even<br />
that sex magic must be performed without a scintilla of lust or emotion to be<br />
legitimate. Conversely, the non-magician may snicker at the whole idea of<br />
erotic magic, dismissing it as some sort of dirty joke, refusing to accept that<br />
sex magicians are doing anything more profound than satiating their ordinary
