Well you've certainly peaked my interest! I'm not sure how insightful I can be, but if I could, I would like to bring in some different terminology. First, I have heard similar reports about the brain, but I don't buy it, and here is why. First, I think that we are not merely our brains - which basically means that our brains are not the controlling entity of our beings. I think that biblically it seems clear that we have a spiritual nature, and while our spirit and body are intricately connected, the controlling entrolling entity is the spiritual and not the physical. So, it could still make sense that the brain would have the same part stimulated, but that would not mean that there was necessarily a physical or even a psychological connection.
That said, there does seem to be a reality where these are connected in some way doesn't there? I would be willing to venture a guess that it has much to do with the heart - and in this sense I am talking about the heart as the core of who we are spiritually. I think few of us really know much of our heart - there is an ocean of sin, hurt, brokenness and bits of goodness, redemption and the Spirit of God working throughout. I think that when we tap into our spiritual depths, we open up a window to our hearts, and what we have in there comes to the surface. For many, particularly because of how taboo sexuality has been in the church, we have pushed it down and tried to fight it off, but our unforseen sexuality rises to the surface.
A very sad and unfortunate example of this could be the whole Ted Haggard deal. I don't know the man, but I imagine that he has been in an epic battle to push down part of himself that he didn't want anyone to see - but it is inevitable that it comes out. Maybe these things come up in spirituality because God needs to work, and in order to work he has to clean house - so to speak. I don't know, any thoughts?
I believe the link between sexuality and spirituality is something very deep and, unfortunately, very ignored. I remember growing up in my church and never feeling safe to talk about anything remotly near this topic. As if to think about or acknowledge the fact that we are sexual beings made me less pure rather that more in touch with who I am as a creation of God. In a book I recently read... twice, there was a chapter called animals and angels. It talked about how we as humans are neither. We are not controled by our sexuality nor should we pretend that we have no need of it. Not only this, but the idea that we harm our spiritual selves when we try to be something other than human. We can neither be ruled by or deny our sexuality if we desire to have a healthy spiritual life.
Having pretended to be an angel for so long myself, this idea (as well as many others in the book) brought trimendous amounts of freedom into my spiritual life. I think discussing this topic, both internally and externally, is a huge step for all of us to become more connected with who we are in relation to the Father and those around us.
By the way, the book I'm referring to is Sex God by Rob Bell. I suggest it for everyone, dispite the age, sexual experience or spiritual depths of a person. I believe there is healing to be found in this area for most all of us. Healing, understanding and growth. All very much interconnected to our spiritual lives.
