(Dr. Rena Malik, M.D.) Why millions of women watch porn. (It's not what men think). That's impossible, Dr. Malik! Everyone knows women have no libido, interest, and sense of adventure. They're ashamed, prudes, introverted, afraid, cowards, totally not curious, pure, virginal, chaste, and completely content sitting on the sidelines watching men do sports. Surely, you're talking about another country, not the good old U.S. of A., which is all puritanical and uptight for our womenfolk. Next you'll be saying they enjoy sex or have orgasms.
Female toplessness in the USA: indecency that should be prosecuted and punished because it leads to nasty thoughts like humans are some kind of mammals (with mammary glands) or something?
It's called "Being Human" because temptation is a beast
The Prince (Italian Il Principe, Latin De Principatibus) is a 16th-century political treatise written by Machiavelli, an Italian diplomat, philosopher, and political theorist.
He wrote it in the form of a realistic instruction guide for new princes. Many commentators have viewed that one of the main themes of The Prince is that immoral acts are sometimes necessary to achieve political glory [1, 2].
Melania Trump is/was a whore escort
(Keith Edwards) Leaked audio confirms Melania was an escort [who "dated" and may have had a baby with pimp, Israeli spy, and professional child molester Jeffrey Trump before marrying Donny Trump]
From Machiavelli's correspondence, a version was apparently being written in 1513, using the Latin title De Principatibus ("Of Principalities") [3].
However, the printed version was not published until 1532, five years after the death of Machiavelli. This was carried out with the permission of the Medici Pope Clement VII.
But "long before then, in fact since the first appearance of The Prince in manuscript, controversy had swirled about his writings" [4].
Although The Prince was written as if it were a traditional work in the mirrors for princes style, it was generally agreed as being especially innovative.
This is partly because it was written in the vernacular Italian rather than formal Latin. More
American Evolutionary Psychologist Miller's sex research
Dr. Miller's 2003 book The Mating Mind: How Sexual Choice Shaped the Evolution of Human Nature proposes that human mate choices, courtship behavior, behavior genetics, psychometrics, and life cycle patterns support the survival value of traits related to sexual selection, such as art, morality, language, and creativity.
According to Dr. Miller, the adaptive design features of these traits suggest that they evolved through mutual mate choice by both sexes to advertise [in]heritable fitness [13].
WHO IS DR. MILLER? Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, Dr. Miller graduated from Columbia University in 1987 [5], where he earned a BA in biology and psychology. He received his Ph.D. in cognitive psychology from Stanford University in 1993, with Roger N. Shepard as his principal adviser [1].
Behavior
Dr. Miller's clinical interests are the application of fitness indicator theory to understand the symptoms, demographics, and behavior genetics of schizophrenia and mood disorders.
His other interests include the origins of human preferences, aesthetics, utility functions, human strategic behavior, game theory, experiment-based economics, the ovulatory effects on female mate preferences, and the intellectual legacies of Charles Darwin, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Thorstein Veblen.
In 2007, Dr. Miller (with Joshua Tybur and Brent Jordan) published an article in Evolution and Human Behavior, concluding, based on a sample size of 18 strippers at a club in Albuquerque, New Mexico, over a two-month period, that lap dancers make more money during ovulation [14, 15].
In his 2009 book Spent: Sex, Evolution and the Secrets of Consumerism, Dr. Miller attempts to apply Darwinism to consumerism, arguing that marketing has exploited our inherited instincts to display social status for reproductive advantage [17].
He makes the claim that marketing persuades people—particularly the young—that the most effective way to display social status is through consumption choices over than conveying traits such as intelligence and personality through direct communication [18]. More

(Hanni Ram) ALPS. What price are you willing to pay for addiction?
Everything that consumes us without our conscious permission is a form of abuse.
No shame will set us free, but understanding what causes us to pay with our life and abilities in exchange for fake worth and temporary happiness (or relief) will be the only way to get out of it.
There's no judgment here, just love, care, and awareness. - Hanni

How to remove sexual thoughts from mind | Story of the Beautiful Woman and a Young Monk
(True Wisdom) May 27, 2025: How to remove sexual thoughts from the mind? Once upon a time there was a beautiful woman just out of the bath. And a young and inexperienced monk saw her and was seized by lustful thoughts.
Thoughts of sensuality (craving for pleasures of the five senses) oppress the person beset by them again and again, becoming an obsession and compulsion. What's worse, getting what one craves does NOT solve the problem: Wanting is still there or soon comes back. Getting was no solution at all. Repeatedly getting in fact leads to addiction, a worse compulsion that sees no way out of the quagmire. (Giggity).
When the goal of the mind-body is just pleasure and more of it, the trap begins to become clear. But what other goal might one set for oneself? Liberation from disappointment and all suffering (dukkha). That goal is nirvana, realized by enlightenment (bodhi). But how?
That is what a Buddha answers, having exposed the problem, he claimed there is a cause (craving accompanied by aversion, both rooted in delusion) to our disappointment/suffering. There's a final solution, too. The fourth ennobling (enlightening) truth is that there is a path, a middle way, to the solution.
That might be a better goal, something else to fixate on and strive for, relaxing into it until the illusion dissolves and ultimate-reality becomes clear. Until then, what's a person to do but take Jerri Blank's advice to herself, "Don't think about sex, don't think about sex, don't think about sex," which will be about as useful as saying, "Don't think about pink elephants."
Did you just think of pink elephants? Didn't we just say not to think of pink elephants. Why do we keep saying "pink elephants," which only makes us think of pink elephants... Don't think about sex. Oops! We just said...
(It doesn't work to try to not think about what you're thinking about; it does work to think about something else and keep thinking that other thing).
(Zen Panda) Why do people really fall in love? Is it fate, beauty, or something deeper? This fanciful Zen wisdom story reveals the hidden truth behind human attraction. A wise wanderer teaches that love is not given — but reflected. When someone loves us, do they see themselves in us, or are they seeking what they lack? Understanding this distinction can transform how we experience love. Stop chasing it — because if we become whole, love will find us. ππ₯✨ Watch to discover the two powerful truths that change the way we see love forever. #ZenWisdom #love #spirituality #BuddhistTeachings #mindfulness #ZenStories #InnerPeace

Does it make it any better "art" if the penis is detachable? lyricist and musicians of King Missile
Don't look at his penis, Kids.
In the city that cherishes Michelangelo’s statue David as a naked icon and artistic masterpiece, concerns over its representation -- in vulgar, dick-centric, ass-flashing tourism tchotchke merchandise (see accompanying video linked below) -- spark debate in Florence, Italy.
The statue of David, completed in 1504, is more than a sculpture.
It embodies significant historical and religious contexts [like the fact that this proto-Western culture did not circumcise its male or female children as it does now, removing the most sensitive part of the human body, the foreskin and clitoris, which are far more sensitive than the fingertips or lips], which curators fear are being belittled through the commercialization of its image, notably as frivolous novelties highlighting its penis, butt crack and nudity.
We should ban the Puritan Americans from visiting Europe.
Ancient pornography, obscenity called "art," diaphanous see through and aroused breasts
Under the leadership of Cecilie Hollberg, director of the Galleria dell’Accademia, there has been a vigorous defense against what is perceived as the misuse of David’s imagery.
Since 2015, Hollberg has seen to the initiation of multiple legal disputes, employing Italy’s rigorous cultural heritage code to halt the unauthorized and profane exploitation of the artwork.
Leonardo Da Vinci Vitruvian Man
Hollberg’s actions have led to the successful procurement of significant financial restitution since 2017 and have prompted protective measures for other cultural works such as Leonardo Da Vinci’s “Vitruvian Man,” Donatello’s David, and Botticelli’s “Birth of Venus.”
Despite the formal protection ending typically 70 years post the artist’s death, as delineated in the Berne Convention, these Italian court cases challenge this norm and raise critical questions about the balance between cultural patrimony and freedom of expression.

Does the right to uphold the dignity of art override the public domain status of these works?
Art market lawyer, Thomas C. Danziger, questions the extent to which cultural institutions should control images that are supposedly free to replicate and adapt.
Italy’s unique stance effectively grants indefinite copyright-like control to museums and parallels similar regulations governed by the Vatican and recently adopted by Greece.
French realms like the Louvre, by contrast, operate under a more open public domain policy due to the datedness of their collections.
If you're like us, you believe in science. And if you believe science, you know that staring at boobs is good for a man's heart. Why does Delta Airlines hate men's hearts?
Dependable shyster lawyer and sensational feminist attorney Gloria Allred is on the right side of history: Burn your bras. Free those definition of our species. We're "mammals," right? Is that a species?
I dress to feel good about me (at others' expense).
We're mammalian, part of the family of creatures who feed their young colostrum, fat, and protein. And we will not be putting them away. Avert your eyes. Or if thine eye offends thee, follow Saint Issa's advice.
However, when attending a Buddhist monastic complex, temple, or meditation center, have mercy: There are men and women trying to observe celibacy (brahmacariya) as part of the Eight Precepts.
Anything men can wear, I can wear better. Look:
Ample bosoms lead many to thoughts of distraction. Who's fault is it?
Surely lust must reside in the wandering eye of the beholder, but still. Does it offend a statue (or the deity invited to reside in that representation in many Indian religions and all animist traditions)? It might.
If we lived in a fair and equal country, we could all whip them out at will. Fe/males are not equal. But we must gain parity and equal opportunity.
Julia: My eyes are up here, Pig.
Do visuals lead fellow visitors to thoughts of lust, to roaming eyes, to craving, to distraction, to a lack of restraint, to feelings of want, lack, obsession, addiction ("must have"), kickstarting arousal, craving, grasping, clinging (repeated grasping), and titillation over thing that bring pleasure to the senses? You bet they do.
And as Julia Roberts in Erin Brockovich about a pair of boobs who get a law degree and go into environmental law to sue an evil corporation for polluting.
Does objectifying females lead to LGBTQIA+?
When asked about her amazing chest, Roberts, who is now a good Hindu, said "it took a whole army to produce what people saw on screen," that cleavage, that bosom, that set of legal tools that made The Brock or Erin Go Bra so successful in fighting industry. So, please, a little modesty.
I should be able to dress anyway I want for a flight. Gloria Allred's my lawyer! Lisa Archbold
"Women's rights! Human rights!" (FEMEN.orgprotests topless for sll our rights).
Ah, modesty! And it's bulletproof, too. Throw away those cancer-causing wire undergarments!
It's funny that if a friend of yours told you that he taped a bunch of twenty-dollar bills to his clothes and walked through the rough part of town, or a dark bar or club, and he got robbed, you would probably tell him what we would tell him. And no one would scold us for sexism, bias, or "blaming the victim."
Bras? We're rich socialites. We don't even wear panties! (Catholic Discipline)
.
We're not role models of how to be women.
But if you told us you wore no bra and a transparent tee-shirt, a very revealing dress, a classy see-through blouse, or a no panties and miniskirt combo (like Paris Hilton and her bleached Redheaded Gang used to wear on Ladies Nights Out), and we dared to suggest someone was maybe being misinterpreted as "asking for it," "bringing it on themselves," or should not be surprised that people, when no one is watching, are savages and animals, we would be monsters, anti-feminists, and aholes.
Whatcha lookin at, Dog? Didn't ya had no mama?
We think everyone should be free to wear whatever s/he wants, at any time anywhere. But there is decorum, there are standards. Why a flossy thong bikini is alright at the beach but against the dress code in a corporate setting, we don't know. Productivity? Distraction? Woman says she was targeted by Delta for not wearing a bra (NBC Los Angeles)
"Cardi B" is not real. She's hypnotized/possessed, glitching reveals.
