Is it really all about sex?

[Farm Boy]

Well, it depends on how hardcore one gets about it. All self-improvement done for self-improvement's sake is ultimately masturbatory. Some of the new initiates to the chronic self-flaggelationimprovement cult get a bit Tom Cruisey on Oprah's Couch.

The thing is I see a lot of people in my life who would be happier if they did a little "self-improvement". When it is just about having something to do, it may be a bit annoying to those not into it and who then get preached - but it does help, IMO, if done in some manner and I don't see a reason why there was anybody who wouldn't benefit, in principle. In reality, the day of course only has only 24h and so forth. I have no children, no wife, no full-time job. I got the time and it does a good service to me. :shrugg: An if others can find the time and energy and the other option is watching TV, they would benefit as well. The human body isn't such a mystery to have to wonder about that. But you would need to find a way to look forward to it. If it would jsut be constant mysery it perhaps is not worth it. But once you see sport for its own sake, that really is not hard and IMO everyone could. Its in our nature. Doesn't mean you have to obsess with it.

edit: But I think I get what you mean. Self-improvement for its own sake truly reeks very bad. Like one just found way to hide oneself from oneself and be smug about it.

Oh, I agree. Healthy body healthy mind, all that. I still think PhysEd should be a required component of University.

 

[Terxpahseyton]

Well to add I also didn't start sports to raise my testosterone But it helps me understand its effects I already know better, make sense of it all. That is nice to have.

It isn't? I had to take a PE class when I went to college. I took frisbee.

Some people do propose a link between "sex" and creativity.

I don't think I've met any asexuals. I'm not even sure that such a thing is possible.

There was a thread about that a couple of years or so ago. It might have been one of the "Ask" threads. So yes, there really are such people, and some of them are here on this forum.

thank you for completing the metaphor.

Oh, was that a metaphor? As a crafter, I simply mentioned the basic supplies one needs to make a craft project with sequins, depending on whether you want to glue them, sew them, or pin them.

because i would randomly bring up arts and crafts discussion in a thread talking about sex......

Glue!



I gotta get me some of that sexy glue.

Though I expect, if using glue in such a context, one could come unstuck... sometimes.

Well while unemployed and single for 6 years I spent most of that time lying in bed or playing video games.

Thankfully new medications are going to be improving that, but still they destroy libido. But I have lots more happy neurotransmitters in my brain.

I meant more like a class a semester, or some certified activity. but given the cost of university these days it does seem mostly unconscionable to force somebody broke and living on decades-long-payoff loans to pay like 2 to 4 grand a year to use a basketball court.

Yes. No. I mean I know there are people who self-identify as asexual. I just doubt that they really are. It's not just a matter of not having sex, imo - we've all done that at some point in our lives, and it doesn't make us asexual. Nor is it even just a matter of not wanting to have sex, since we've all (hopefully) also met people who we simply wouldn't want to do it with.

Of course, a great deal depends on how you define sexuality. And my own vague definition is broad enough for me to sincerely doubt that asexuality really exists.

Neither, it's about power first and foremost.
