Random Thoughts #7

1) It should come as absolutely no surprise to those who’ve looked at the research but watching porn kills sexual desire for your partner. It actually delivers the opposite of what it promises over the long term: less gratification and ability to function. If the neurotransmitters in our brain are overused our bodies won’t be able to respond to them in the same way in real life.

2) The birth control pill may adversely affect this region of a woman’s brain. New research shows that it may shrink the hypothalamus which is responsible for activities such as appetite, sex drive, mood regulation, body temperature, sleep patterns, and heart rate to name a few. You cannot fool around with your body’s natural state and not think there won’t be a price to pay.

3) The militant gay lobby in the US is evil. A law has now been passed in California where you no longer have to disclose your HIV status to a sexual partner, allowing it to be freely passed along. If anyone thinks this is ok they are equally evil. One’s health status privacy is not more important than the transmission of a potentially deadly disease.

4) It’s going to be an interesting future as we watch all the potheads in failing physical and mental health. New research shows that using marijuana may change the structure of the heart. There is little evidence that cannabis helps mental health. In fact there is little to no evidence that the benefits that potheads tell us their smoking has, are real at all. Don’t ever believe anyone who smokes for any other reason than to get high. They are all clueless. Any health benefit claim they make is either non-existent or a gross overstatement about what it does.

5) For all those who think they can wait to have their kids and enjoy their youth partying just a little longer, it would appear that the gods of biomechanics will have the last laugh. We know that by age 30, a woman has lost 90% of her eggs making pregnancy after 30 that much more difficult. New research now shows that paternal age negatively affects the attractiveness of offspring as men age. So all those men waiting longer to start their families, get ready for some uglier kids!

  1. The Play of Light

    Porn is junk food, part of the “enjunkification” of our bodies and souls. Shovel in yet more distraction through the senses, and keep the humans corralled in their pens. This may seem unrelated, but I weep for my kids that they were given a movie of the Lord of the Rings, and weren’t able to build their inner worlds with the tool of those books. To me, such a movie at the mild end, and porn at an extreme end are just amplitude along the same depressing line.

    Of course, I wasn’t awake enough to do anything about the movie thing. “Wow, great,” I said blandly. Jeesh.

    Also totally agree on #4. I’m tired of being made to feel bad that I can’t support all these high or spiritual justifications for getting high. It’s garbage that steals your initiative, numbs your desire and will to live. They are slowly sinking into mud and it’s painful to see that people do this to themselves.
