Weird thought on sexual drive

[EWright]

Here's some new material for you EWright. Not once at this point in this thread did anyone mention masturbation, that is until you brought it up. Not only did you bring up the subject, you also just as much accused us all of being nothing but masturbaters. If you'll go back and read the posts you're referring to, you'll find several mentions of partners. Not only do you sanctimoniously pretend that you're offended by WAY TMI, you later are unwilling to deny that you also participate in such activity. Someone earlier in this thread referred to you as a sh__ stirrer, I must solemnly agree.

 

And since when is Too much information nonscientific???

 

Infy, if you beat it as much as you beat a dead horse, I feel sorry for it. I'm done with the topic.

I'm done with the topic.

Hallelujah!!

...find some new material.

In 1973, I entered graduate school. The library at MSU was awesome, and one day I found myself (by accident!:cup:) in the human sexuality stacks. There was a book entitled, "Masturbation". I think it was published in 1971.

 

The book covered the history of medical and non-medical (including religious) literature on the subject. If you think it is uncomfortable to speak of MB today, it has been FAR worse in the past. Young men in Edwardian England caught doing it were often subject to 'surgeries' that allowed urination, but made even a partial erection very painful. MB was in fact blamed for a host of adolescent malladies, including disobedience and bad judgement. Gee, how many teenagers have those problems?

 

The book also covered various (known, documented) 3rd world cultures where MB had no negative press at all. One (Oriental?) culture even developed it into a public performance art form. Pompeiian art often included mosaics showing people in various sexual acts (including MB) as decorations in what appear to be family homes.

 

All in all, I don't think ANY culture mentioned was as horrifically phobic as Edwardian England. I do not remember if the book explained why that was. :cup:

hi,

just my 2 cents.

it's almost as if there's 2 different people.

when human drive by desire, that is what they would get after doing the "thing".

 

when human "thing" is drive by love, pure love, then they would get another feeling.

 

to make love, with the one whom you are legal (in religion) to make love with is a holy pure act. it is about bringing two souls more nearer to God.

 

just my 0.02 cents.

[Loricybin]

i think it brings two beings into a natural state of love,

and becomes misinterpreted as a completely different kind of "love" later

 

this is love driven by natural instincts and hormones, and as far as i can tell,

humans betray other humans' false hopes of monogamy becasue of these strong animalistic pulls toward sex

[niviene]

I have a feeling that modern culture might have something to do with this, because it creates unreasonable expectations amongst women regarding their 'ideal man', and the men inevitably have to bull their way into the girl's pants, because these unreasonable images created by modern society simply don't exist. ...

 

B, I agree with you. I also wanted to point out that women are to blame for a lot of their own unenjoyment of sex... women tend to want to make their man happy (at least during sex... the rest of the time, maybe, if you've got a good one...) and they want their man to believe that they have given her this amazing multiple orgasm every time they have sex. Soooo, we fake it. God knows I have faked it plenty of times. I think I posted in another forum that I never had a real orgasm from sex (from intercourse, that is) EVER before I was with Scott (my fiancee). Probably for many, many reasons. But, I know from experience that we tend to fake it, so no, it's not just a bad joke somewhere. However, faking it makes that guy think that he's some kind of god in bed, when, in fact, he probably had no clue what he was doing or how to touch a woman. So, a bunch of guys go round thinking they are gods gift to women in bed, because all they've ever been with are other women who have "always had multiple orgasms" while THEY were with them, so if this next girl doesn't (probably because she's being honest, finally...), he thinks it's something wrong with her.

 

Another thing that women do is they let sex end when the guy finishes. Sorry, girls, but that's just not gonna get you anywhere. If you are both having sex, sex ends when you both finish, period! You don't just let your guy finish and then go to sleep.... imagine how guys would feel if we always finished first and then just went to bed? Do you think they would not say something? Women don't speak up enough about what they want, and I don't know why that is, even today. I always make sure that I explain it, or kind of hint at it, somehow, this is what I want, this feels good, this doesn't, etc etc, if he doesn't know exactly what feels good, I show him, and next time he does it on his own. This makes sex better every time! If women keep going into sexual situations and leave unsatisfied, what's gonna happen? They're gonna lose their sex drive. So, guys, if you want to keep having sex, talk to your lady and find out if she's really enjoying it or faking it. YOU will benefit in the end from finding out, I guarantee it. My sex drive has never been higher, and it makes me want to do things for him, not just myself.

 

Another side note - if you make a girl really happy in bed, she's a lot more likely to cook you a really great meal. :) Think of all the things you could get out of pleasing your woman by doing something that costs nothing and just takes a little of your time.... high return on investment, there!

Now that's the kinda advice I like...

Orby...

 

You ever tried to complete an extremely complex problem, let's say a math proof for example, while you are really hungry? Really tough to concentrate, right? Well, sex is a hunger, and it distracts us. It's like a clog in the drain and the water doesn't flow properly.

 

When you're done, the tension is relieved, the clog broken... water's flowing... and you are loose and free to concentrate once again.

[Pyrotex]

...and you are loose and free to concentrate once again.

Yes, and all your Endorphin receptors are saturated!! ;)

Great point Pyro. That will also give a greater degree of focus.

 

 

Clears the blockage.

Generates more happy chemicals aiding in concentration.

 

 

So, in sum, sex is good.

 

(real good if you're lucky ;) )

Reminds me of a poem from back in college:

Sex:

When it's good, it's very, very good.

But when it's bad, it's...

well, it's still pretty good.

 

A good point to remember in this discussion is that the most important organs of the body involved with sex are (in order of importance):

1. The brain

2. The skin

3. Internal sensory nervous system (there's a word for them I can't remember) -- the senses that tell you when muscles have clamped or released, etc.

Notice carefully that genitals, if listed, would be number 4.

Proprioception

Proprioception

Bingo! Thank you. I will now use it in a sentence.

 

"When I hold my arms up in the air like this, it improves my television proprioception." :)

[Racoon]

Let me throw my 2 bits in,

cuz' i am a buttinski smart-*** sometimes. :)

 

There are 3 types of Proprioceptors.

1) Free nerve endings

2) Golgi-type receptors

3) Pacinian corpuscles.

 

Panician corpuscles are the least abundant of the three and are found in the tissues around joints and rapidly adapt following initiation of movement.

 

I suppose these guys play a role in weird sexual drive when you do funky positions like the piledriver or the helicoptor spin... :doh: :)

[Loricybin]

hurray for the female body!!!

and hurray for the male body too!!!

humans kick ***

[Racoon]

What are you talking about Lori?

We heard you're really a dude. :doh:

 

Its in one of Orby's posts a ways back...

 

But yeah! Human Bodies are great..

when they don't have Polio.

don't be silly,

 

of course i'm a fellow male human specimen . . .

 

i'm just rooting primarily for the focus of my attention, being of course the beauty of the female.

 

and i decided to credit the male body as beautiful as well.

 

as i said, go humans, in all of their (sometimes) breathtaking glory:)
