Taboo

[Anonymous]

You're right, Nagual, violence and porn shouldn't mix.

Now what about fetishes? I think that's an aspect worth exploring. I believe that fetishes are psychological. I also believe homosexuality is a fetish. I don't know any guy, even among homosexuals I know, who wouldn't sleep with a girl under the right circumstances. In fact, one of the most homosexual guys I have ever met tried to sleep with one of my female friends once. Now we're talking about a guy who could walk into a room and you'd just instantly KNOW he was gay.

What do you think about fetishes?

I think it depends on the fetish and just how far people are willing to go. Blood fetishes for example, are deeply intimate and are based a great deal on anticipation as well as the symbology for the particular individual. Most fetishes are about the anticipation.

How bout role playing? I don't consider that taboo unless it reaches an extreme which causes a great deal of discomfort. What about animal fetishes or at the extreme....beastiality?

Once knew a girl with a cat fetish....she also liked role playing as a cat......mmmmmmmmmmmm.

The energies of sex are very powerful, even if one does not practice any technique for cultivating them, sexual magic, etc. It amplifies emotions and thoughts that are put into it. So when dealing with sex you should be mindful of your thoughts and emotions you put into it.

Porn while on the surface appears as purely lust, I have discovered recently that it can be much more. It all depends on how one views it. Much like a scene of nature can mean many different things to different people, so it is with porn. It can be a nice tool in exploring one's sexuality. Fetishes should not be ignored as they are an expression of you. They should be explored in a healthy manner to discover what it is saying about you.

My personal view is that violence and sex should not mix, though where does one draw the line between rough sex and violence. There are the extremes and then a big grey area that is pretty much personal views. To each their own. Just know that what you put in you get out amplified. One that engages in and/or views very violent sex will amplify violence into theirself. If one has disrespect for sex and their partner then that likewise will amplified within. One that puts in love and respect for their partner, themself, and sex will reap those things.

Sex, be it with one partner, many partners, by yourself or whatever, is merely just a tool. What you use it for and put into it determines what you get out of it.

Some of you may think this topic is taboo and I might take alot of heat on this...but I want to talk about it. I just felt a tinge of anxiety because someone entered this room that i'm typing in and then left.  But...in my experience masturbation has been quite handicapping to my mind and my soul.

I think ALOT of people masturbate even though they might not admit it.
One big reason I believe there is so much secrecy around it is that secrecy appeals to vanity. (vanity is undue pride in one's achievements or of oneself)

As well they might be afraid of the consequences of sharing it with someone.  It's kind of sad but I know no one who I would be willing to talk about this problem with. I am highly averse to talking about spiritual problems with unspiritual people.

A teaching from the Urantia Book just came into my mind.

"Sin was the violation of taboo...and death was the penalty of sin."

So...according to the UB...sin was that transgression of a taboo...like "do not steal"....if you do not understand what I mean by taboo...I basically mean something that your supposed to stay away from.  Such as "do not touch that"  "do not kill" "do not curse"

Taboo's are always in negative forms.

The opposite of a taboo would be a positive command....like "do good"
"drive safely"

So...in ancient days...people thought that death was caused by sin which was caused by violation of taboo.

It makes sense to me that taboo's can be made stronger if more people believe in them...as well if they are rarely talked about.

I remember somewhere else in the UB...that it basically says the taboo is the structure of our society.

I mean...perhaps all of our modern day laws started off as being primitive taboo's.

Now...back to masturbation...among ALOT of people it is still taboo.

Something your not supposed to do...and not supposed to talk about.

But really...what is it that causes someone to do it?

To masturbate that is.

I mean think of it like this.

It evolves.

First you experiment.

Explore.

Find parts that feel good.

Then the whole addiction grows.

It actually starts to get out of control.

Oh yeah...it might help you to understand my definition of sin.

To me sin means the conscious transgression of the divine law while
evil is the unconscious transgression of the divine law while iniquity/wickedness is the persistent and knowing rejection of the divine law.
