Hey I just wanted to let you know, I actually like the piece of writing on your site. But I am using Firefox on a machine running version 8.x of Xubuntu and the design aren’t quite correct. Not a important deal, I can still fundamentally read the articles and explore for info, but just wanted to inform you about that. The navigation bar is kind of hard to use with the config I’m running. Keep up the good work!

I WOULD LIKE OPINIONS ABOUT MY THOUGHTS.

Try lowering your volume a little. It’s possible that the women you try to hit on in bars are ignoring you because they can’t hear you, but a not insignificant number of them might just be hoping you’ll stop shouting at them and go away.

Try the Fleshlight, Plump. It can be discretely delivered to your home from any one of a number of reputable websites. Remember to clean it throughly after each use.

I HAVE BEEN TO VISIT PROSTITUTES A FEW TIMES IN THE PAST. I HAVE NEVER LIKED PROSTITUTES AS I THINK ITS WRONG THAT WOMEN EXPLOIT MENS CRAVING FOR SEX BY EXTORTING MONEY FROM US. I HAVE CRAVINGS FOR SEX BUT THE ONLY WAY I CAN GET IT IS BY SPENDING MONEY I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO SPEND. I WOULD LIKE OPINIONS ABOUT MY THOUGHTS.

As you do not know me, or much about me as a whole, really, I do not see why you get to make those assumptions. I was trying to understand, via Delphyne, why or why not, how or how not, if we could find something perhaps not “in common”, a way to understand things that are different from our own views. Hey, if my stances and thoughts and views offend you, fine, but insulting me, here and elsewhere, is not going to change or improve much of anything.

Interesting theories…and I mean that in a non snarky way. I do think, considering our different feelings on sex itself however, and how different at the very base of those feelings they are, that there are certainly may issues we have no hope of ever agreeing on. I also think that is okay.

The idea that Ren Ev is exploring sexuality is a load of crap. What she is really doing is enabling the pervasive, perverse and misogynisitic idea of women as asexual.

I don’t think I”m even talking about emotion, it’s a bit deeper than that. The sensation of sex is like nothing else our bodies experience, it’s specific set of physiological reactions by a set of organs that have no other function apart from reproduction. I mean I’ve heard that a couple of people can have orgasms from having their elbows rubbed and maybe a couple of others get them from picking lettuces but in general most people use the same bits and pieces to achieve the same types of feelings. I find the idea of sex without sexual desire or sexual enjoyment very hard to reconcile, especially for women who have historically had our sexuality repressed.

It’s interesting what you say about your upbringing – I was brought up in a supposedly liberal household where sex wasn’t supposed to be taboo and things like porn were viewed as fine. It seems to me that that, rather than being an escape from the sexual repression of the past however that was simply another manifestation of it.

delphyne:

“I think people who can’t differentiate between sex and other acts probably are disassociated from their bodies. It’s hardly sexual liberation to reduce sex to being like picking lettuces or adding up a column of numbers, it’s also untrue. Once again, women treating sex as a chore or work is standard practice for patriarchy. As antiprincess will probably agree, lots of housewives can confirm this.”

Hum, interesting theory. I can say I was raised to think the human body was an amazing machine (family of jocks, sports were a big deal), capable of amazing things and beautiful to behold…but I can also say I was raised to think that sex was something done by married straight people, and only married straight people, and for a long time I bought into that. Then I actually had sex (not married, oh well) and realized I thought that was a load of crap. I don’t really think I am disassociated from my body, in fact, quite the opposite, but everyone can have theories. I find the body, sex and sexuality in a vareity of forms simply fascinating and fascinating to explore, to experience, and to understand…and I suppose looking at it that way, emotional connection is completely secondary to the physical primary.
