Something to be disgusted of the animality in us, which controls sexual drives, the primal instinct, because i can also share pure hell, i'm watching at it, i'm studying it, i'm not affraid, and sex never creates a deep connection between two persons, it is produced by that filthy impulse, to which some succumb easier than others, and if you believe in the romantic link of the act between those two persons loving each others, like most women would want to, get real and notice that the act itself is only and nothing more than a drive, and what brings you to surrender yourself is the trust that you put primarily in yourself then in the other, so anyone can manipulate anyone to satisfy an ever new born drive, it can never make a deep connection, a deep sharing, it's only a momentary game of primal desires, oh so quickly passed. So build your relationships on this at your own risks (to be bored soon, or discover that you are crudely used), you are warned. And if you decide to watch the movie, then "Good Luck" not to throw up, or kill yourself afterwards.

(and don't think i got that analysis only by watching this horror, i've also got more realistic references, and i'm sorry if you are easily shocked)
You make it rather cut and dry. I think sex is a little more complicated than that. It can be anywhere from an horrendous act of violence to sublime spirituality. It's up to you.
RépondreSupprimerI think it's only animal and shallow, though pleasurable when experienced in trust. but that's only my opinion.
RépondreSupprimer(i'm curious how to find spirituality in this? if ever it's possible.)
RépondreSupprimerFirst off, you need to be a spiritually oriented person. There are many sources for this type of thinking. Alan Watts' Nature, Man, and Woman and esoteric Hinduism are two places to begin. Christianity tends to suppress this side of sex. Hinduism and Tantric Buddhism rejoice in it. The main concept is that orgasm is the lay persons form of spiritual enlightment.
SupprimerI may be reading some stuff about that Alan Watts guy. Thanks.
RépondreSupprimerBut it's true that my opinion is strongly forged, i studied the case already, he'll have to be convincing if i want to soften it up.
Spirituality isn't rational. It's quite irrational. It's not a syllogism. It's about what you want to believe about the universe. And what you want to believe is up to you. I firmly believe that God, or whatever force might be out there, doesn't care what you or I believe. We all end up in the same place in the end, no matter what we believe, and that place will be a welcoming home. That's what I believe.
SupprimerI think i'm all rational, i mostly trust sciences, and i try to understand for myself many different things, always finding new things to be interested in, everything is much simpler than we think in reality, the brain is a tortuous and vicious bugger, it complicates what's happening and that it can't understand, but that doesn't mean i can't hear others' beliefs, we all have our own logic, in the end the only important thing up to me is respect and acceptance.
RépondreSupprimerI doubt you're all rational. You have a subconscious that lives its own life, influencing you in ways you are probably not aware. You have a great attitude, though. That makes a big difference.
SupprimerYou're right, i have irrational fears that impede me to dare and go forward sometimes, and do everything i want to do, but i'm studying philosophy to be aware of it and get rid of these, maybe one life is not enough, but whatever, i live one day at a time, in the present moment (sometimes i mentally escape but i try to do it consciously), and i enjoy everything that i discover.
RépondreSupprimerI'm not sure that studying philosophy will weed out irrational fears. That's more the domain of psychology.
RépondreSupprimerThe two fields are necessarily intricated, i study both. Philosophy is the views of one individual on the world surrounding him, and psychology is the functioning of the mind bringing out that philosophy, basically this is how i see it.
