“Akira is the Galileo of women’s sexuality, shifting our culture from the ‘Dark Ages’ of slut-shaming into an enlightened celebration of female desire. Hot, hilarious, and engrossing, this book is a path toward greater freedom for us all: read it and evolve.”

I think too many people misinterpret this quote into thinking he meant being alone exclusively.

Being social is just as important because you get to know others so you can get standards of what you are, and are not, willing to tolerate in a friendship/relationship.

I meant spend time with others so you can evaluate them, so you can find compatible qualities.

Regardless of who you spend your time with, the second half of the quote is certainly true anyway.

>> No.4791708

>>4791675
I don't think Wilde meant to be alone always and not pay attention to others. People tend to spend more time in company than by themselves, and they even prefer being with someone they hate than being a minute alone. Nowadays, more than anytime, individuals (not so) are always talking and talking with someone due to the great amount of communication technology, and hardly spending time alone.

I read a couple chapters when I was on lunch. She is kind of party girl-ish, kind of ditzy, but is very candid and can make fun of herself. Chapter about beet salad was pretty funny. It's only like 150 pages though and for 24 bucks nah.

Normalizing sex.

De-tabooizing it, so it is lived more freely, decreasing the inhibitions of individuals, the obsession with it, thing that should result in more balanced citizens over time.

In short words, helping the world to solve it's problem with apples.

>Normalizing sex.
I don't think allowing young minds unfettered access to hardcore interracial gangbangs is a typical marker of "normal" sexuality. Pornography is, at best, an enslaving agent meant to dull the mind of its consumers and create a generation of desensitized, apathetic men.

>the obsession with it
What? People are extremely preoccupied with sex. A person's worth is now largely derived from sexual prowess and number of partners. Those with little or no sexual history are weirdos not congruent with modern society.

- I don't think all of the porn stars shoot hardcore interracial gang bangs. Even if they did, I don't think you can have an absolute stance on normality, unless what you place under this word, is the consensual sexual practice between two or more - free as in libre - individuals.

- Given the extensive literature on sex, the total amount of organizations preaching how sex should be, and the ancestral use of it as a way of getting power, even leverage, or engineering the hierarchy in a given organization (Cfr. Levinsky case, to name one) I would say that western societies - and others in the world - have a big problem with it.

>A person's worth

As if persons had worth. Worth is something a merchant would say about human beings.

How is porn not a means of preaching how sex should be and a use of it as a way of getting power? Even if you totally disregard the content of porno, saying that sex is something that you don't need to participate in but can just watch and jack off to is a HUGE normative statement about sex. It doesn't "normalize" sex, sex has always been normal you stupid fuckhats. What pornography normalizes is detachment of the self-enjoyment of sex from participation in the sex act itself. I don't think this by itself is creating desensitization and apathy in young men, but I sure can see how it would contribute. Pornography isn't some liberating external force that will save us all from the "problematic" Western understanding of sexuality, it is a natural expression of that understanding.

>> No.4794828

>>4794769

I don't pretend to be taken seriously by anyone. I just pretend to express myself. And if someone on the way agrees with me, well that will mean my points of view - naive or not - are not that execrable.
