Ya know who else preaches absinence and no touching of oneself?

[Maraya1969]

The Taliban.

That's why they are willing to strap on bombs to get to the 70 virgins.

It is not healthy. That is why years ago doctors would use vibrators on "hysterical" women.

Also if you really go without for a long time, in my experience, you are going to have a wet dream, (and I'm a woman). Does that mean the devil got you in your sleep?

It's so stupid I'm not even making sense.

1. Wilhelm Reich may have had some wacky ideas, but he was onto something

in "The Mass Psychology of Fascism" IMHO.

[newspeak]

19. I also was thinking of Wilhelm Reich

also his thoughts on patriarchal authoritarianism within the family and it's relation to complete unquestionable obeisance of governmental authoritarianism.

2. making sence is highly over rated

9. as is spelling, apparently n/t

[classof56]

3. Sad to say, you are making good sense.

I thought of that same thing in response to O'Donell's "self-gratification is evil" rant. What about wet dreams? When she implements her "thou shalt not" legislation/constitutional amendment/whatever, how will the "M" Patrol (pretty sure she'll set that up) enforce the awful actions of those law-breakers, male and female, who find themselves dreaming and wake up...well, you know... Yep, she would take us straight into the land of the Ameri-Taliban...so much for the teabaggers goal of smaller government!

This is all just so bizarre I can't wrap my mind around it. Right now I'm downing my second glass of merlot and retreating to my room where I'll watch some mindless TV and maybe pass out and go off to dreamland...oh, wait! Better not! Can't risk where my dreams will take me!

Lord help us all!

5. I'm with the polar bears, then.

[Warren DeMontague]

7. If you ask me, Polar Bear's gotta be a tough gig.

I certainly don't begrudge those guys whatever jollies they can get.

[Warren DeMontague]

6. Oh, for FUCK'S sake.

Sex is not "bad", dirty, or evil.

10. even polar bears are really good and both of those activities

:wtf:

Do you come (no pun intended) with a translator?

[Tsiyu]

11. Nah

he she or it is absolutely TERRIFIED of STDs, especially the foreign kind!

Because, you know, having sex is not a normal part of being a human adult, it's merely a method to spread disease....!!!

Sex is bad, especially for stray cats!

[Tsiyu]

13. Progressives sure as hell are not frightened of their sexuality

It's normal, human, positive and life affirming to have orgasms and to enjoy one's sexuality,

whether between consenting adults or at the local "sex without partners" meeting.

If you are sickened, afraid, disgusted or morally opposed to humans who enjoy sex, you need counseling.

Progressives also sure as hell DO promote a healthy, MATURE, non-judgmental attitude toward human sexuality.

You got a problem with that? Call a psychiatrist, don't try to project your personal sense of shame onto DU.

[hfojvt]

14. so it is anything goes

anything, except traditional morality, of course, which is perverse and demented, and we are non-judgemental about everything, except, of course, the whackos who advocate any sort of restraint (but restaints with an S are okay, right?). We get to judge them.

[Warren DeMontague]

15. Yes.

Because they're busybodies, telling other people how to run their personal lives.

I judge homophobes, racists and bigots, too. Certainly. That is not 'reverse bigotry', that is simple common sense.

No one is getting shit for being personally abstinent or not masturbating. No one cares. I marched in DC in 2004 with 1.2 million other pro-choice people, and the few hundred antis who showed up? It was fairly clear to me that a good cross-section of 'em hadn't had a satisfactory orgasm since the early 70s, if ever.

But that's their business. When they start telling other people how to live, it stops being just their business.

See, when you mind your own bid'ness, you won't be mindin' mine.

[Regret My New Name]

17. but the bible says.....

..... :P

[Tsiyu]

16. You just made me laugh this morning

TRADITIONAL MORALITY


What the hell is that?

Man on top, missionary position, done only to create a fetus? No cookies for the woman?



WHICH TRADITION?

Yours? Do you get to define for the rest of us what is "traditional sex?"

Personally, I don't care what other consenting adults do with their sexuality. That's how healthy adults in 2010 view sexuality. The ODonnells of the world have a strange fascination with other people's orgasms - as do you - because of fear, shame, bad parenting and a belief in a God who also hates orgasms, even though supposedly he, she or it created humans able to have them.

If you choose to be afraid of sex, that's your business. Don't force your distaste for human sexuality on others. Get some counseling.

[NNN0LHI]

18. This is why Senator Vitter had to have prostitutes change his dirty diapers for sexual gratification

Makes them do weird stuff.

20. In their twisted theocratic world

in order to enforce their complete sexual control over people, there would have to be big brother watching in every room, and no medical confidentiality. No wonder these people have banned the book 1984---there's too much truth in it.

Why can't they have their own communities, like quakers and mormons, so they can leave the rest of us alone? Send them to jesusland.
