"The human sexual drive is an integral and dignified part of life. This is a truth that keeps getting lost: we repeatedly fall out with the physical side of existence. The nobility of our bodies was alive as a concept for certain periods in the Ancient Greek world, then became submerged for many centuries under Christian censorship. Oddly, despite an atmosphere of permissiveness today, our relationship with sex still bears a legacy of distrust, which becomes most evident in attitudes towards the porn industry. It’s not that most societies ban porn, but they subtly relegate it to the outer limits of respectability. It comes to seem a low-grade, demeaning activity, which sullies all who come into contact with it, producers and consumers.
The School of Life is a global organisation founded to explore issues in emotional life and arrive at workable solutions to some of our greatest tensions and dilemmas. It asks large questions about fulfillment and purpose.
Given the role that pornography plays in the modern world (especially its remarkably destructive effects on many relationships and on the lives of teenagers), it is a natural theme for the School to explore. This project contributes to a search for a ‘better’ sort of pornography, ‘better’ meaning not more or less explicit or unusual, but more aligned with the highest capacities of humankind: intelligence, sensitivity and empathy. It is porn we shouldn’t have to be ashamed of. The site aims to work a therapeutic effect, and is focused around some of the challenges that make sex particularly difficult as well as exciting for us."

Good post OP. Too bad about all these repressed and lonely Christian boy's responses.

It's not just porn that needs an adjustment, it's our sexual practices. We should teach "safe sex" and encourage teens to loosen up, so we can turn out less maladjusted shut-ins.

Funny I was just thinking out the story line to a porno exploring similar issues. Thanks for the share OP.

>>6937515
I think a large part of the sexual problems today have more to do with capitalism than Christianity. Our society puts too much emphasis on sex as a form of consumption (not only through the use of sexual advertisement in the media; but also through the outright sale of sex through online dating, pornography, and clubs). This profit motive creates a sphere of media influence in which sex is attached to the value of an individual, for females based on their looks and perceived willingness to put out; for men the number of "notches" in their belt.

Although there are a lot of problems with Christian sexuality, it's rapidly being replaced with a sort of metropolitan sexuality, in which sex is an abstract, dispensable, and masturbatory form of consumption. A way for liquor companies to attach a price tag to the corporal release of excess sexual energy while at the same time depriving it of any spiritual significance.

Teaching kids to "loosen up" is the wrong approach because sex is inherently meaningful. The abuse of meaning sullies it. Not that people should never have sex before marriage, but people should always care about the people they're sleeping with. Sex is an act of love. Sex is mutual cannibalism, the literal and metaphorical placement of another person's body inside yours. The instant of transcendental pleasure where two bodies move within and throughout each other to same rhythm. Anything less than this is masturbation.

Love, which is inherent in everything meaningful, is as much a declaration of pain as of pleasure. Can anyone really say they love someone without willing to hurt for them? People like >>6937629 who try to distance themselves from love with words like "fucking" only distance themselves from the transcendental experience of love and beauty that's inherent in "fucking".

The website in the OP is kind of shitty though. Instead of focusing on sensuality, beauty, and love, it just tries to validate it's softcore porn with a pretentious back-story. Props for trying at least.

Agreed. Capitalism is just as much a problem if not more so. And I was being rather vague when I said "loosen up". It is meaningful, but when you're young, you should be allowed the time and space to make these meaningful connections and in all likelihood failures.

I know what you're saying but sex is the corrupted shape of love.
Where base animals place their care for their mates they express it in the real purpose aka fucking each other rather than something transcendental for us humans (our concept of love).
sex is more related to our baser side while affection is related to a much higher side than ourselves
and when it turns into devotion (the love of a friend or that of a parent and child) where one seeks not their well being or their gain but that of their loved one then it's at its highest point (supposing that love is measured as the disinterest of one's own well being and the interest of the other's well being).
love expressed in sex is taking from one another rather than giving, for it is a selfish act even in mutual agreement.

Not just Christian censorship. Many religions advocate celibacy or abstinence until marriage, or even after procreation.
This allowed our species to spend more time building society instead of having mind-blowing orgies all the time.

Just look at bonobo apes, their societies are shit because they focus too much on sexual dominance.

Not saying sexuality isn't important, it's simply something we can put aside for leisure time.

Pornography is just a vaccine to the censorship that we have against sexuality in many parts of the world where people are sexually deprived. We ARE sexual creatures and have an inherent need to take part in sexual activities, otherwise we can become mentally unstable.

It's not the bodily process but how it's used. If abused for reasons other than reproduction one is perverting its natural function and necessarily corrupting the mind to justify it. Stable societies have stable families with stable thinking, corrupt the latter and the former follows. The simplest solution is monogamous marriage.

>Sex is way more about procreation, it's a social act for social creatures, you retard.
but putting the social aspect before the procreative aspect is irrational. The social aspect exists only to motivate the execution of the sexual act.

When we eat, the food gives us nutrition, and it also tastes good, but the taste exists only to motivate eating. Now nutrition exists as an act of self preservation, and eating is the method of gaining nutrition. But what happens when we sacrifice the nutritive aspect for the "taste" aspect? We get fat (or skinny if youre bulimic) and that gives us health problems, which is contrary to what nutrition acts for (self-preservation).

>but wait! if i want to have sex, i must have a baby every time! and thats stupid!

making a family is one of the greatest things you can do, but this is a little bit out of the topic

the only things that are needed for the sexual act to be "alright" is for it to not be contrary to its natural function, meaning that you shouldnt actively interferce with reproduction so that it doesnt occur (you can of course foresee whether reproduction is unlikely to occur in certain days, and it wouldnt be wrong to engage in intercourse in those days), of course the issue isnt that simple and it deserves a complete treatment, but this is a taiwanese stickfigure board and i cant bother to do it

This is not the only function of taste. Things that are bitter are usually poisonous. This was an advantage for us while we were evolving for hundreds of thousands of years.

>what happens when we sacrifice the nutritive aspect for the "taste" aspect?
This is a result of us adding extra ingredients in food to attract more consumers. This is a result of capitalism and consumerism, the cause of which is attributed to people having addictive tendencies caused by a malfunctioning reward process in the brain. Again, mutations. Fucking rats do this.

I agree with the idea that we should start putting more value into our sexual partners but how can you say sex is "inherently" meaningful? Sex does not inherently carry any qualities besides reproduction and pleasure, any other meaning is something we attach to it.

And if I go out to some random club and bring home a trashy chick who I clearly don't love and have sex with her, I would agree that this is basically masturbation. But I think there's nothing wrong with masturbation.

BUT

The issue becomes how we view the opposite sex. You see it all the time here on 4chan. Some people fucking hate women. And oftentimes to get laid consistently without a girlfriend, you've got to turn yourself into the kind of person who views women as objects for masturbation, not people of value to engage in sex with. So basically, sex is causing people of both genders to start viewing other human beings as objects, instead of people. That, I believe, is the inherent issue.

The point being that if we release the sexual tension that we have through porn, it'll hurt our relationships if we don't approach it in the right way?

Of course anyone can destroy their relationships by neglecting the other person and turning to something else for long periods of time. Of course porn can be used responsibly, especially in very close relationships.

I'm saying we don't need porn as much as we do now given we stop looking at sex as something icky.

One reason people are so mad at the ubiquity of porn is because we aren't allowed to experiment irl without shame or punishment in most cultures around the globe so many people turn to it to release that tension and they get "addicted" to it and destroy their relationships.

Then this idiot starts talking about how the urge to eat is similar to the urge to have intimacy with another being, but doesn't fully realize what he's talking about. I need to clarify that to him.

Masturbating didn't make me healthy. It didn't relieve "sexual urges", it exacerbated them and created a bad habit of having to constantly relieve them. It's a sad and lonely thing that is rightly looked down upon.

One day I prayed to the Virgin Mary for chastity and the next day I couldn't feel anything sexually. Instead of being aroused by imaging a woman the image just passed through my mind. My dick felt unusually limp (as opposed to the almost daily "morning wood"). It gave me a feeling of bodily integrity that is hard to describe, but it felt like a happiness worth preserving as opposed to the instant gratification of masturbating that leaves you feeling deadened afterwards.

The orgasm is a moment of sublime nonrealization, where you loose yourself is sensual pleasure with another person.

There's a form of kabbalistic meditation where you focus on imagining a point of light and making it brighter and brighter until you're lost in it's intensity. You're doing the same thing while building up to an orgasm.

This is the same experience as when looking at a beautiful landscape or painting. The empathy of loosing yourself in an instant of shared existence.

This is inherently contradictory with having sex with someone as an object of masturbation. By having sex with random people, you're in effect alienating yourself from the sublime, and turning it into a mechanized, masturbatory action instead of a shared realization.

I like it. I like where they're going with it, I've had similar sentiments for a while. Since the beginning of internet porn to now the sheer amount of porn has to be mind-boggling. Yet all commercial porn is merely a variation of the same archetypal movie - plastic, mechanic, arid sexuality. It's completely obvious but I'll point it out anyway, 99% of porn nowadays is sexuality without any form of sensuality. Simply look back to John Holmes or something and notice a difference.
So that's lacking. And since porn is likely the prevalent sex-ed device, what is it that is really being imprinted on young minds? Or course it is natural to distrust something like this, the commodity of sensuality-less sex.

>But the orgasm by yourself is a sin, is what you're saying?
No, I just don't think that having sex with strangers is healthy.
In all honest, my ramblings are just pomp. I masturbate all the time and chase debauchery whenever I get the chance, but there's a disturbing trend amongst the "sex positive" portion of society to dismiss any meaning from sex through reductionism: "it's just fucking", "it's like hunger", etc. which is a shame.

It's said beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so what are we doing ourselves by trying to reduce sex to a lowly bodily function? By constantly stripping away all the "meaningless aspects" of life, of the body, of social roles, etc. are we replacing it with anything meaningful? In love and war, some exaggeration and exuberance had ought to be permitted.

What it all boils down to however, is not that all porn is bad, or that all sex is bad, but the fact that, like >>6951104 said, what we have now isn't at all a natural expression of the human condition. The fact that it's so gratingly disgusting that it provokes mystic narratives like >>6936994 only shows that pornography is just as revolting to human sensibilities as usury or circumcision.

>>6949594
The problem I have with pornography particularly, and society in general, is that the so called transgressive has been made bourgeois.
Sure we pretend anal, bdsm, etc. is transgressive, but every soccer mom today has tried those now. As I pointed out in >>6939128 anonymous sex has been invented as a form of abstract consumption.
Even homosexuality, the go to sexuality for creative men in the past, is now a way for upper middle class teenagers to take on an affected accent and capitalize off the cultural legacy of Oscar Wilde.

In our post industrial age of mass production and mass consumption, any verifiable and quantifiable experience looses it's transgressive quality. Some decency must exist for the transgressive to spit in it's face, and that's the nature of duality. Ironically strict monogamy is probably the most transgressive way to practice sex, without the negative space of taboo, debauchery has no backdrop to take shape against

Which brings me around to the question that I think The School of Life is posing: what would spiritually fulfilling porn look like?
They're definitely going about it in the wrong direction. Namedropping doesn't add sensuality to anything.
I'm surprised more porn doesn't take more of a nouvelle vague style tbh, the intimate style as well as the low production costs seems like it would lend itself nicely to exploitation from the porn industry. I can only assume the Jews have a vendetta against Jean Luc Godard over his Palestinian connections
I propose that truly sensual porn would just be clips of the same two actors reading Baudelaire to each other ASMR style, interposed with scenes of them making love under variations of the dolly zoom. Only then would wanking reach it's sensual potential.

The patriarchy as a concept is an idea either developed my an infantile mind or a brilliant genius. The idea that the problem of the world is that males are in power completely sidesteps the real problem with the world: the fact that there are infinitely rich people in power. The fact that the problem isn't men, but money, or digital money and the immense power this invention makes possible.

The problem with the world isn't that men are in power, women in power doesn't have a stellar track record either, the problem lies in human nature especially in the age of unlimited wealth and wealth creation.

If you want to get paranoid and you usually should because society is usually created by powerful forces, it doesn't "just happen", you could say that the idea of "patriarchy" is very convenient for the old-money ruling families of the world because it makes the population engage in infighting instead of looking at the private bankers, or big money businesses which rule our world.

Sex isn't any more meaningful than any other aspect of human life. The difference is that people are constantly desperate about their sexuality because in comparison it's a much more scarce resource for the continuation of their existence. Eating habits are much more important to human health and have much bigger implications than sex, but no one has two seconds to think for the dead animals and plants that they're about to make part of their bodies.

What it means is that mean it is men who ought to be in positions of power, and specifically that women shouldn't have anything to do with power. Not out of any sort of spite or disdain or 'misogyny' towards women, but simply through the fact that that's just the way the universe is. At the most essential level. And that to have women in power is political perversion, which leads to sociocultural and socioeconomic abominations.

You may question exactly what these abominations are, but you only do not see them because you have been conditioned, immersed into them, like a fish in water. We are truly still early in the stages of decay so the only difficulty is distinguishing the name from its byproducts, but things like feminism as a whole and LGBT and basically all of liberal politics and socioculture are products of ruin which come into existence as the cancer brought about by the thesis of women in power (symbolic or otherwise literal).

That's the problem of course. You think the concept of morality isn't an amorphous thing. We disagree on the basic premise from the start. Bible passages still stand allowing things like slavery. But our modern world isn't too fond of that kind of thing anymore. So on the one hand you think your morality is set in stone and on the other it's being reinterpreted for modern morals.
But there shouldn't be any setting in stone going on. It doesn't work that. Your inability to accept any other way but your ancient Hebrew laws is a disorder.

No I think Jesus would have condemned homosexuality in the very same manner in which he spoke of rendering unto Caesar that which is his, purely out of principle, and not out of hatred or disgust (although I would argue it's unnatural to tell a person to not hate something like homosexuality given that they do).

Homosexuality is wrong at a basic level. In the same way you don't put two positive magnets together, simply because you cannot, again at that sheerly basic level of possibility, but it is just a little different/confusing with humans because homosexuality does indeed give the very robust illusion of being possible.

This is an incorrect view of homosexuality. It's not the result of a simple neutral sort of difference, but the result of something being a lesser version of itself. Neutral difference is fiction, supernature. In reality, if something is different then it is either lesser or greater. That you cannot accept that attests only to your own mental immaturity and truly nothing else.

>It's found in nature all the time.
Homosexuality is NOT found in nature whatsoever. What exists in nature is bisexuality, which is based on sociohierarchical tensions in a higher level and endocrinal-perceptual errors on a lower level (i.e. they are the same thing, the sociohierarchical explanation is just a mirage created by errors of perception, in the very way that a dog mistakes, literally mis-takes, a person's leg for a viable mate).

Also everything is found in nature, by default. That which simply exists in natural is not also that which is natural. They are two completely different things. That's an appeal to nature to conflate them.

>> No.6954624

>because he is irrelevant in today's society
That's untrue. Relevance is inherently relative. Claiming Christ is irrelevant is nothing more than your opinion. Just like me claiming he is relevant is nothing more than my opinion, but the point is that relevance plays no role in determining whether or not his principles should be subscribed to.

>We all know that sex with little girls causes childhood trauma.
While I do not disagree that having sex with children causes them severe harm in this specific time in society/history, that is simply not the case for the past. Childhood trauma is a social construct (not an arbitrary one though, where it exists it does exist for good reason). Where it occurs where everyone views it as completely normal no trauma results. You cannot project one location in history onto another in the way in which you are attempting to do.

An example of this could be school for very young children. In the future and in the past that will be seen as traumatic, departing those young children from their parents to round them up to be under the supervision of somebody not directly related to them for protracted periods of time. You however see this as completely normal, just like everyone else, and so the construct of the possibility of trauma does not, as a rule, exist.

>We all (or all should) know that homosexuality is a perfectly natural thing.
Homosexuality is not natural in any sense, or in any place in history. It is the opposite of natural. It's in a league entirely different from paedophilia or leaving your kids under the care of somebody else in some sort of quasi-institutional setting (although those two are in fact not within the same league themselves). This is because it has nothing to do with the experience of homosexuality itself which makes it unnatural, nothing to do with the homosexual effect, but with the underlying principle. The reason why it is in a league different than the other two is because the leaving away of your kids has no basis in principle other than in effect, and paedophilia has a principle which is historically as well as culturally relative. Homosexuality is only culturally relative at best (cultures have both accepted as well as universally condemned it throughout history, whereas paedophilia was universally accepted up until a certain time (and rightfully so, so no I am not defending it)).

Bottom line is that homosexuality is the absolute farthest thing from natural in any meaningful sense of the word.

We do have an immensely larger amount of knowledge but practically all of it turns out to be useless. This is why archaic opinions exist, because they are not just, as a rule, different pieces of knowledge which turned up in that specific time period, but more along the lines of eternal and perennial truths which did not merely 'turn up' (in the way our recent bulk of knowledge has), but emerged, just arbitrarily in those specific, older periods.

They are not simply the knowledges of the olden day, but the knowledge of the Earth, which simply sprouted in that arbitrary time period. You are mistaking the two concepts as conflated with each other in the same way one sees a range of mountains as one when he gazes through a horizon.
