Ellen W...I love that this has cycled through again. Ellen White! For those not in the know: she was the prophet of Seventh Day Adventism, which did so much to screw up my mother. (Okay, though, to be fair: my grandmother did more than anyone else to screw up my mother, and my grandfather was a devout SDA who was also one of the world's Most Lovely Human Beings Ever.) Also, as we (some of us who care, at least passingly, about such things, at least) are now noticing that it's been 500 years since the Protestant Reformation was sparked by Martin Luther's spurting his Theses onto the Wittenberg cathedral's door, it's worth sharing a pertinent quote from the cranky ex-Catholic himself: "Nature never lets up; we are all driven to the secret sin. To say it crudely but honestly, if it doesn't go into a woman, it goes into your shirt."Cagey-Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06336508567944952383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4339155460200866959.post-55014791104444040202012-04-14T18:30:35.376-07:002012-04-14T18:30:35.376-07:00There's plenty to think and say about all this...There's plenty to think and say about all this, but as a reader who remains religious within the broad family of Christianities, the primary thing that comes to mind is: God dammit.

When she caught me having sex with myself when I was about ten, she told me if I kept it up my foreskin would grow together over the head of my penis and I would have to have an operation to open it up. The operation would leave my penis horribly deformed. All the boys in the locker room would see that I was a pervert and no decent girl would have anything to do with me. I would ruin my life. As you can imagine, that lent a certain extra excitement to my self love sessions for the next year or so. Of all the so-called evils of masturbation, the real evil has been all the things done to stop it. As your blog showed, those things include devices of medieval torture, but also simple things such as foods by Kellogg and Graham. When you make your next Graham Cracker crust, know that you are helping to stamp out masturbation, or so Mr. Graham hoped.deemannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4339155460200866959.post-83436972846433491392012-04-12T08:32:15.917-07:002012-04-12T08:32:15.917-07:00Just wow !

Religion and the Victorians have an awful lot to answer for when it comes to messing with minds.<br />I can still remember as a young teenager having sexual feelings, without really understanding what they were. My early attempts at getting off are laughable now - because in all honesty I had no clue how or what I needed to do. I just knew I needed to do something.

I've never encountered anyone who consistently makes as much sense as he does. Coolest thing about him? We frequently listen to his podcast in the car, and our two-year-old - who is starting to repeat everything she hears, so maybe we should stop listening with her present until she understands the context of what she hears - always vocalizes along with the opening theme.

They were smart but illiterate. But they had to use both sides of the brain to interpret these images of the glyphs. The mythology of the time was that a male and female god mated and made the world come into creation.<br /><br />The invention of hieratic script happened about two generations before Atun. With this shift the society became more brutal especially towards women. They lost most of the freedoms they had had for long before very quickly.<br /><br />This script essesntially made the glyphs into an alphabet and suddenly fewer people could read them any more. With the rise of this script the mytholgy changed. God became male, invisible, and didn't need a female to generate. Images of Atun were outlawed (no graven images). As a concession to the population that had a long standing relationship with feminine gods Atun was given the consort of Truth...who doesn't love the dripping hot pussy of abstract truth.<br /><br />Leonard Shlain makes a fascinating case in his book Alphabet vs. The Goddess that the rise of literacy has tremendous fruits but one of the hidden effects of it is that the status of women and feminine values drops when alphabetic literacy rises.<br /><br />you are great.<br /><br />read it.<br /><br />amazing history. very readable.mjsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4339155460200866959.post-22313592899389560912012-04-11T17:45:57.264-07:002012-04-11T17:45:57.264-07:00I am so impressed that somebody actually took the ...I am so impressed that somebody actually took the time to explain to those girls that masturbation is acceptable and healthy. <br /><br />One of the biggest rages I ever went into was when my ex-husband going through a severe fanatical religious phase told one of my boys that "masturbation is wrong".

I could not effing believe the stupidity of telling teenage boys this. <br /><br />Unfortunately, my poor boys have had to listen to some frank embarrassing talks from mom due to their father's uselessness on this topic.
