Sad story: I have totally lost respect for my right hand. Here's the saddest part: I'm right-handed. Go figure.
Every wonder why Conan the Barbarian rhymes with Onan? (hint: If he weren't the Barbarian, he might be on better terms with actual ladies?) Here, everyone should read Mark Twain's short story about Onan and onanism. And while at it, the goings on up in Battle Creek, Michigan, in the early 1900's, when Mr. Kellogg was offering his "alternative" cures for this, that, and the other. His client list was an eye-popper. Teddy Roosevelt for one. Teddy spoke softly and Mr. Kellogg "carried" his "big stick." (What kind of name is "Teddy" anyway?)
Heard it all before. The thing they never seem to investigate in all these empowerment-moonie studies of supposedly what's good for you, is the negative blow to an average adult male's self-esteem when he thinks to himself YET AGAIN, "Golly, the pictures of females on DOMAI sure are attractive, but *I'M* absolutely totally unlikely to ever meet a woman as visually as appealing as any of those models, and even if I were to meet one or two, I wouldn't have the capacity to actually make her want to spend time with me since I'm no super-stud-muffin of cosmic proportions. And yet, I know that I cannot be satisfied with a partner who is not physically appealing to me. So, I must be, not only lonely, but also convinced of my own inefficacy, which is hereby proven to me yet again, in the very act of pleasuring myself."
In other words, the act of making yourself feel good makes you feel bad about yourself. Not a positive arrangement. At least, it never has been for me. I'd love to be all "open" and "politically correct" about the ... erm ... manual tradition ... but it's a poor replacement for the sensation of being "da MAN" who can get what he wants out of life. Which I (so far) can't. :(
I think we've established clearly enough that I'm the greatest master debater around these parts. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to return to my training. A champion's work is never finished.
The Church has tried and continues to try to outlaw master debating and fornication in order to ensure the market for their competing product: Marriage®.
Marriage, of course, like all dealings with the Church, cost money---either directly or indirectly. In contrast, master debating and fornication are free.
So, which one should you choose?
My recommendation is fornication. But if you are a good master debater, like Pascal, by all means debate. Just don't overlook the opportunity for sinning with a partner, too.
The part I don't get, is why Marriage-TM is considered a better product. Wouldn't it be in any cult's interest to offer pleasurable experiences without the guilt? I'd be much more likley join any religion or cult that said, "Hey, we got hot women, they WANT to go to bed with you, AND we aren't likely to prevent it. In fact, we ENCOURAGE it!" The Raelians seem rather along those lines, in fact. :)
"Conan Barbarian"... is that an Armenian name? "Barbar" is rather common in Lebanon. No fib! Some of my relatives are of the Barbarah family.
Regarding the cults/religions: I'd feel pretty stupid and insecure if I needed a given religion to assure me that responsible and respectful sex is okay. (Ass? Sure!) Just like I'd feel pretty dumb listening to the clerics of my religion when they tell me that sex is dirty, or that only they can permit it and make it un-sinful. What serious EXPERIENCE to they have, hunh?
Christiannism is 2000 years old. Judaism 5000. The human species? 50 to 100,000 years. You draw the conclusions.
See? Told ya I was good at debating! Even made this one brief.
I can't understand how you could be unaware of such details: there's a full-frontal nude Babar picture on his Wikipedia page, and the Barbapapas are always nude and smiling. Not the sex-obsessed pervert Anonymous told me you were, eh? I thought your site was all about porn. ;-) [A handsome fella, that Kuzco.]

No she didn't, that would actually be Chantal Goya: Babar, Babar, tu es le Roi des Eléphants, Babar, Babar, tu es l'ami des petits enfants
"See, everything DOES revolve around Francoise Hardy."
Is this the elusive astronomic phenomenon known as the "French Revolution"? These French, always thinking they're the pivot of the whole planet! Why can't they be more like the Americans, n'est-ce pas?

Teddy Roosevelt for one.

Thanks for posting the article sent to you.
ReplyDeleteWasn't that the film "The Road To Wellville"? Anthony Perkins are the psychtic puritan.
ReplyDeleteColm Meaney had an intersting role in that one. But then again, visit the museum section of www.goodvibes.com and you'll learn more on that subject.

Ah well, back to downloading porn.

ReplyDeleteI understand Osho is like that.
ReplyDeleteThere must be many others.

Funny, there is a cartoon character called Baba Papa. And another one (an elephant) called Barbar.
ReplyDeleteThat's the other way round, actually: Barba Papa, Babar.

I think I was doing pretty well, considering it is nearly 40 years since I saw any of them!
ReplyDeleteEdith Piaf sang about "Padam Padam" but I don't think Francoise Hardy ever spoke to Babar ... though all under consideration are indeed French.
ReplyDeleteSee, everything DOES revolve around Francoise Hardy. :)
