This whole album is entirely comprised of therapy concepts, concepts used in counseling and therapy to help people keep from freaking out. This is not about sex, although that is what I thought it was about when I first heard it. The concept here is the practice of living RIGHT NOW, which is very hard. It is about the difficulty and the reward of not living entirely in the past and in the future. The idea is to live without your preconceptions and your hopes and projections ruining the wonder of the immediate world. Try it sometime, and you will see why it is worth writing songs about. The pain metioned is the anguish of always worrying about the past and the future. Those things are not happening right now, so any pain you are feeling from the past and the future is illusionary. It is only you. Crucify the ego, and you find that there is not much that is worrisome that is happening RIGHT NOW. Try it.
@Infirmo In fact, if you think about it, it is also about sex, because sex is one of the situations where people, that think too much, sometimes loose their way of thinking just for a few minutes or seconds and thus experience some idea of what it could be to just overcome your way of thinking in general.

Exactly. This is what meditation, enlightenment, life, god, and all things can relate to. It's beyond words, and definitely NOT about sex.
