Not All Love is Made Equal ...and thank God for that. The variation in the kind of love we can give aids in developing various aspects of our persona.  So, the love we can have for a flower, a same-gender friend vs the romantic love for an opposite gender, the love for parents, a niece, a nephew, a brother, a sister, nature, ALL directs us to, and develops various aspects of OUR natures. When i see the love between TC, Rick, and Magnum, it tells me of the love of friendship 'without benefits'.  I see it in old Tamil movies, where one guy refers to another guy as his, 'nanban' (friend, but with more meaning than when used in the west or with reference to Faceook's 'friends'.  It means someone you trust, you can lay your life down for, is like family, someone close to your heart....which is why friendship plays a central role in old tamil movies to degrees never seen in western movies.)  When you take sex, or the possibility of sex or romantic relationship, ou...

The degeneration of the church as witnessed in the ongoing sexual abuse discoveries within the Catholic church is in significant part, a consequence of the overarching sexual revolution in the west;  the growth of eurofeminism's assertion that women aren't free till they're free to be as debauched as the worse amongst men;  the Consumerist Revolution in the west finally leading to Sexual Consumerism and the LGBTQ movement; and the juvenilisation of the market with the young serving as the main force determining media and cultural development, and it serving to enhance the tendency toward immediate gratification and via shallow and debased means. These phenomena shows an all round acceptance, celebration, and promotion of sexual promiscuity and depravity in western society. In fact, the LGBTQ movement actually expects the Church to serve as a contraceptive to protect them from feelings of moral conflict. However, it has reached a point that they demand it, not due to moral...

This article is rated 18 I (for those whom are 18 years of age and inquisitive only) "Those people spending large amounts of time accessing porn are not having more fun," said Dr Heather Wood. "They are more worried about themselves, more worried about what they are looking at, and report more relationship problems." Four per cent of men aged 18-24 (in the UK) said they used adult sites for more than 10 hours a week, a level which doctors describe as "problematic and potentially compulsive". bbc There are quite a few ways of looking at it. You could say that those who don’t look at porn sites enough, and, um, pleasure themselves whilst doing so, are more prone to premature ejaculation, not being able to ‘do it’ for long enough, and don’t have much of an imagination whilst doing it. You could also say that those who spend too much time doing such things won’t have much of a personality other than one which might aptly present him as nothing more than a ‘...

download epub version A battle is being declared on London's strip clubs, with many council leaders insisting that no more should be allowed to open. Feminist journalist Laurie Penny believes that more fundamental issues need to be addressed in the sex industry and banning lap-dancing clubs will not resolve these. “We're not going bring down the patriarchy just by preventing new lap-dancing clubs," she said.” bbc In the not too distant past, women who ‘chose’ to work in strip clubs did so because of the coincidence of both gender and and their occupation of a lower socioeconomic class. They had less opportunities than men, but with equal or more responsibilities. In general, though women in a patriarchal society were relatively disempowered - whatever socioeconomic class they occupied -when it came to the lower classes, and women of such classes not being able to avail themselves of lace, teacups and cucumber sandwiches, as might quite a few women portrayed in Jane Aus...

Previously, we had heard much about the exploitative nature of media, amongst other, representations of women. Feminists alleged, with good reason, that it reduced women to mere sex objects and diminished the value of the other aspects of their persona. Whilst this is true, the increasing equality of women with men, the rise of many to positions of power and prestige - defined along previously patriarchal lines - the proscription on marital rape, the incorporation of women into the workforce and their ensuing financial independence, appears to have turned the tables on men and turned them into the ‘weaker’, if not ‘fairer’, sex. From hereon, the sexuality of women turns into ‘bait’ and ‘bargaining chip’ as was men’s monopolisation of the economic milieu in the past. Rather than women moving on to becoming more than sex objects, their sexual objectification has become a medium of control, dominance and, at times, exploitation of men. There is nothing that a woman wants that she can’...
