The Confession Booth

[Sleep]

If we didn't wear clothes, We'd probably freeze and die, So i disagree with the whole...

''Wearing clothes is wrong''

We have them for more than one reason.

Yes...although there are other means of obtaining warmth. Some indigenious tribes who live in rather cold areas wouldn't wear much clothing.  I think something in us (maybe even something evolutionary - or de-evolutionary) has made us 'need' clothing.  Its original purpose however, is warmth. 

In fact, our whole existence and society is perpetuated toward warmth. (Ever read Walden by Thoreau?) Think about it, we eat food for energy to keep warm, we go to work to afford clothing and housing to stay warm. (of course these are all based on survival. survival = warmth). We've moved from elementary needs, to desires though.  We desire material possessions to keep us warm in a superficial way, we desire superfluous relationships to keep us emotionally warm and superfluous praise to keep our egos warm.

What if we focused more on obtaining elementary needs, instead of all the other garbage that has grown from our survival.  Then again life is about more than simple survival... As you say clothing is, it's about identity and style.  But the best way to be a nonconformist is to wear something completely different than "what's cool." What if we began thinking that?  Maybe people would stop having mindless sex, and pursuing superficial relationships based on "what's ur favourite colour." Maybe people would delve deeper and really fall in love...and warm their souls to the core.

ok my turn...  Everyone in my "Real life" thinks I dislike porn.   

Truth is.. I like it... and DO watch it... but only... lesbian porn.

I'm not a man! 

[Sleep]

Hmm... I am asexual. Not that I copulate with myself and reproduce. Or that I have both sexual organs. I am of one sex. But I mean my orientation.

Asexuality can be defined as someone who has little or no desire for sex.  So most of the relationships I get into are for companionship.  I lack sexual attraction.  Now that's not to say that I haven't found pleasure in sex...But I am at a state that sex is unappealing to me unless it has a very deep basis.

Let's not get it wrong, asexuals are humyns, thus we have urges and desires like all people, but I suppose my desires are not of a sexual nature but rather something else that I find most people incapable of.  Either way...I like textual intercourse and intellectual stimulation, emotional closeness and affection, physical connection in different ways...but sex for me as a general rule is neutral. I understand the reasons for it, to create life, to be close and intimate with a partner, to show love and connection...I feel for me, for now at least...i can do this in other ways...the problem is finding someone who is content with my companionship.

Make fun if you will, I'm comfortable in my own skin.
Would anyone be so bold to confess a deeper truth?

I understand where you're coming from.

The reason I have issues about it is because sex outside marriage is not allowed in Islam, and obviously the naked body is an attractive thing, so when you cover it you're less attractive and sex outside marriage is less of a temptation to people.

And now you probably don't understand why sex outside marriage isn't allowed, and I could explain but you wouldn't agree which is fair enough, but basically it comes down to a difference of opinion.

sex outside marriage is considered a sin by many religions. i don't see it that way, which is the reason i'm often referred to as a 'cafeteria christian' so lovingly by my dad. it's totally overblown in my opinion. i believe if two people love each other but know that they are not ready for marriage, they shouldn't feel bad about having intercourse – their heart is in the right place. i do think religion magnifies it to a level that makes today's society, who are more moderate, scared of religion a little. as human beings we change, our religions must change a little too. they can't stay the same while we develop in all aspects of our lives. it's a problem really.

i thought it was strict in christianity but since dating an orthodox jew, it's much much stricter. with orthodox jews, the men cannot touch women outside of marriage. they can hug their mother or sister or an aunt but if it's someone outside that close family circle, it's not permitted. so he wasn't allowed to touch me and when he did, i felt dreadful because he felt dreadful because he felt he was demeaning his beliefs and his religion for me. it was a huge strain and we were so close to actually loving one another. i had no problem with it in the beginning but he catapulted it into this big thing to make it feel like it was my fault. i've always believed whatever your belief is, it's between you and god. that you don't have to live your life scrupulously by some doctrine, which was written thousands and thousands years ago. do good, do good onto others and love each other. that's the sort of thing i believe humanity needs to take from religion. jesus and the beatles got it right, all you need is love. religion leaders shouldn't focus on these petty rules of telling us what the right sexual orientation is, when to have sex and this persistent enforcement of making women cover up as much of themselves to avoid being sexually objectified is deplorable. in countries like saudi arabia, it's almost like those women have no choice. they speak up and they suffer the consequences. it isn't fair, but because it's presented like it is apart of islam it makes it ok for it to be excused. it doesn't and it shouldn't. 

there's nothing wrong with what we choose to wear, that's what makes us individuals. there's just a problem with people in our society all over the world who associate any skin exposure, no matter how little, with sexual tendencies.

i've been asexual since high school. i was the butt of jokes within my circle of friends for a good year. i was outspoken about it so i reaped the consequences. i don't believe in having sex with someone you care nothing for. i don't believe in having sex for fun. i'd rather a nice glass of gin. by sleeping with someone you are giving away a part of yourself to that person because that person is special to you and you are special to them. this is the thought that i got the most flak for. it's hard to have relationships with people when they do want to go there and you don't so i'm focusing on myself right now until someone who understands me comes along. i'm not the sort of person who looks down on people who do have one-night stands and stuff. the most important thing for me is my belief on how i want to live my life but i'm not going to force anything down anyone's throat.

when i meet someone i really feel something for, i would rather sit on their bed with them and talk about everything. kissing and sex never crosses my mind. i would rather a long cuddle and a kiss on the forehead.

i'm a little old fashioned i suppose, which is ironic because i'm assyrian and assyrians were the ones who invented brothels and prostitution.

[skinnypuppy]

the way i see it is, im going to die someday, life will fall into place, follow its destiny... so im gonna live it up. i like to feel good...i like to HAVE THE TIME OF MY fucking LIFE....unfortunately, the right drugs make everything 10x BETTER.

I'm not going to go on a tirade at you, or preach to you, or anything of that sort. I just feel like it's necessary for me to say something just to keep my conscious in order. What exactly do you think will fall into place by doing drugs that you know will hurt you physically and emotionally? You already know you have a problem, and I think you're already scared of the problem... so why does feeling good have to be reasoning behind it? Life sucks, but so does life after drugs. The small in between time is fake, it's not real at all. You feel good, but then you come down, and I'm sure feel much worse. Again, I'm trying to not be preachy to you, and I cannot deny I've been addicted to alcohol before, and have done drugs, but that doesn't change the point I'm trying to make. Life is SO fucking beautiful outside of drugs, or alcohol, or mindless sex. If you take a book to a park or forest, or see a movie that touches you, or spend time with loved ones... that's 50 times better than anything you could do to yourself for a quick high. Life is so much more than our own dumb little minds.

Haha, yeah man.. She'll never admit it though. She loves my bad self.


@ skinnypuppy

Yeah life is beautiful, but I hope you're not referring to all drugs. I think moments in life can feel amazing.. so why not smoke a plant and just intensify that feeling so it feels 10X as good? There's no comedown.. No regret.. Just a sense that you've just gotten the maximum amount of emotion out of something. I don't even know what I'm talking about and this isn't even on topic.

[hydroponic82]

i totally steal shit when in stores that i feel have low standards if i feel like it

Haha.. Not with the blonde hair though..

[tarkil]

I know... That's because it's gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay...

[Mazzy]

i like his hair. it's nice. it makes him look softer and more sensitive.

i think feminine is the word you're looking for tarkil, not gay. i don't think his hair is a homosexual and his hair is not valid enough for an emotion such as happiness.

he could pass for a depressed young man as well. his face is open to interpretation. that's the best thing about him.

[tarkil]

Don't worry I'm just joking Maz... He nows he's my bud...

[deftoner664]

i stick my finger in my belly button and smell it

[deftoner664]

and it smells.. really really bad... like the kinda bad.. when you cant stop smelling it....

Yep..

[Juicy Fruit]

Haha.
