The part of the body which the sexual organs are located was called the “sacrum” by our ancestors because the knew what it was all about. ‘Sacrum’ comes from Middle English ‘sacren’, meaning to consecrate. And that in turn comes from a word out of Greek and Latin antiquity: ‘sacer’ meaning dedicated to God. Our own word ‘sacred’ comes from the same root and means the same thing: holy, set aside for God’s use, God’s service, God’s purpose. What the word ‘sacrum’ says is simply that sex is sacred. If this one word were widely understood, the destiny of the whole race would be altered.
