How does that work, physiologically? We’re talking dopamine in the brain. If what that user said was true and “overstimulation like that drains your dopamine reserves (or something),” then another person being there wouldn’t make a difference.
I mean, it’s because they have a misunderstanding on how brain chemistry works, obviously. Like, it can store it, but it doesn’t get used up from doing things that feel good. That’s what makes dopamine. And while loneliness is a problem in the general population, it’s more likely that longer lasting gratification from sex isn’t from the physical act or even just the physical act with another person, but the joy gained from the relationship as a whole. Pretending that there’s chemically something different happening in the brain just because there is physically another person there is ridiculous. I’ve had plenty of unfulfilling sex with people I didn’t like that didn’t make me happy/content afterwards like masturbating would have.
I once tried to fall asleep to erotica on the theory that I’d have erotic dreams instead of nightmares but I couldn’t fall asleep so I listened to my sex playlist instead
I think this varies by country, so you may need to specify where you’re at. For instance, I noticed that content on Hulu in the U.S. was being advertised as available on Disney+ in Canada, like the miniseries they did on Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee and their sex tape. I don’t think that would ever fit with the Disney brand in the U.S., which is supposed to be very family-oriented, so they use a different brand for more adult stuff.
I work in logistics and transportation so I always enjoyed season 2. Especially what McNulty does in episode 1.
It is an eye opening show in that you can see how each part of crime affects the community. Local political corruption, media corporatization, defunded inner city schools, international sex and drug trade, they all lead to the way society works for the rich and fuck everyone else raw.
I’m normally all for making fun of pedophilia in the church, but this is just gross. Using the term “sex toys” in reference to children is disgusting and negates any possible humor that this meme could have had. This post goes beyond dark humor and is just distasteful.
You are a pedophile, stop banning people for bringing it up, you fuckin nonce.
And yes, we do care outside of your conservative echo chamber, you are a child sex predator. This will not stop. You will not be left alone to promote child sexual predation. It is wrong and you are wrong for protecting it. You cannot ban people on the fediverse. we will continue to find you.
People were looking for sexual images of children, they could not find it, and you told them where to go to find it. You are a pedo helping other pedos to find pedo content. Undeniable.
Is that how he got into bed with her or he’s just thinking about talking when he should be having sex?
In the moment, when I’m actually talking to a woman (or any person), it’s not really what I’m thinking about, but I do think about their anatomy and sex with a good number of women throughout the day. Just brief flashes of possible moments. Thinking about sex and talking at the same though is alot of processing power, I can’t do two things at once like that. Women though, are good at multi-tasking, so I assume they’re more likely than men to do that.
Porn sites Pornhub, XVideos, and Stripchat face stricter requirements to verify the ages of their users after being officially designated as “Very Large Online Platforms” (VLOPs) under the European Union’s Digital Services Act (DSA)....
Early human minors (until a century or two ago) used to have sex, engage in hebephilia and pedophilia, and underage teenage girls used to be mothers. This is how we still have grandmothers today who married and had kids before the age of 18. So yes, your question is wild and scientifically ignorant. Porn has always been harmful to minors, and in fact, specifically more to minors or anyone under the age of ~25, because that is when neural connections stop forming and adjusting. The neural linking and development starts to slow down by the age of 15. That makes underage minors even more vulnerable, as they hit puberty, have raging hormones and are also at risk of sexual abuse.
As a Christian most of the circles I’m around are pretty chill…no stone-cold fundamentalists. But I have been around people (and even had family members) who are 100% convinced that rock music is evil and will lead people to engage in witchcraft and draw pentagrams all over their home....
No. Seeing how “Rock music is evil.” thing started with Elvis Presley. Then in the 70’s you had people going for rock bands like the Rolling Stones for singing about sex and drugs. They moved to metal bands in the 80’s. Marilyn Manson was the big name target in the mid-late 90’s.

2 women said he tried to have sex with them and made them uncomfortable. There are allegations of sexual assault, however I’m withholding judgment. Dude seems to drink a lot.
I’m an expat American who has lived outside of the US for 17 years. Last time I went back there was 8 years ago. 2 years ago I got a pen pal from the US who just LOVES talking about these trashy cable shows. I’m also kinda 48 years old. So, I remember when cable became a new thingy. People said cable programming was trash since cable programming came into existence. Sure, the programming wasn’t all realities. MTV had music on it. You know what the adults said about MTV (including my parents?) They said, “All that sex in the music videos. So perverted.” Just imagine the scandal of playing Madonna’s “Like a Prayer” every hour on the hour on MTV in its heyday. I remember telling my mother, “It’s a great song! I like it!” before being shuffled off to Sunday catechism, which I escaped from to smoke cigs in the woods behind the church/convent. I’d ride home from catechism in the car reciting the words to “Like a Prayer” and any other Madonna song that came to mind. Plus I’d recite some Prince at my parents, another nice rebel on the MTV cable tube played constantly back then. Maybe following reality TV is a new form of subversion. Maybe it exposes the meta of celebrity. People are hip to this, especially very young people. Very young people are so aware of the meta everything and know how to use it for subversion.
My mother worked at a catholic school; she was sexually harassed by the principal of the school and rather than firing the POS the diocese sent the whole staff to sexual harassment training. I found that to be a real slap in the face. Showed me they still had zero interest in accountability. I still appreciate the message behind a lot of what the church preaches (I loathe some of their stances, mostly related to sex and abortion) but I refuse to enable their hypocrisy.
Interesting, so the first link claims that the THC molecule is the single factor that causes the plaque buildup, however they failed to delineate between edible cannabis consumption and inhaled cannabis consumption so it’s difficult for them to draw that conclusion.
It’s especially weird when you read the third link and it claims that unmodified (read: No THC) zero-cannabinoid marijuana caused the same issues. It seems like the conclusions drawn by two separate studies are contradictory and it seems as if the smoke itself has more to do with plaque buildup than the molecule.
All in all, the studies don’t account for lifestyle and only establish a control based on genetics, sex, and age. Habitual cannabis users having a higher risk of heart disease could be because the stereotypical stoner is also a sedentary individual with abysmal diet. None of which was controlled for based on the study itself. In fact one of the links (can’t recall which) claimed that when lab rats were fed a high fat diet and were bred specifically for higher cholesterol, they showed symptoms of arterial hardening at much higher rates, implying that while cannabis might have an effect, the contextual diet and lifestyle are most likely still the largest factor here.
As for the last link about stroke, the study just found that people who have had multiple strokes have a higher number of cannabis users per capita than the control group. Great, absolutely zero links to the lifestyle of people who have had a stroke that could possibly also be a factor here.
I’d look more into who’s lobbying these studies to know what the truth is, there are a lot of interests with money who hate cannabis. Everyone from Jack Daniels whiskey to Opiod manufacturers want cannabis to go down as if threatens their corner of the market.
It’s a repression thing, they can’t face having sexual fantasies of their own so their mind tricks them into thinking they’re super interested in every news story about wild sex things - suddenly they’re up all night imagining wild and perverted things that are probably happening, but not because they like thinking about those things they reassure themselves, they’re a good moral person trying to protect civic morality…
Read interviews with satanic panic people, endless vivid details right out of an extreme romance novel. Tiktok human trafficking panic is another example, those videos with obviously made up warnings about sex rings and kidnapping methods - it’s all structured just like it’s porn equivalents.
I am a working mom and will tell you - if you don’t schedule time for yourself you won’t get it. I prioritize sex and exercise into the schedule because if not, life and work will eat every moment. For 2024, schedule in 3 hours every weekend, or an evening or morning but every single week.
Realize that everyone is accommodating everyone else, they aren’t doing it to annoy you. You aren’t the center of the universe. But that doesn’t mean you don’t need time to recharge, plan it weekly in 2024 and let the schedule fit around you too. It will.
