Hollenhund had an interesting response to a question posed in last week’s post that I thought I might come back to here:
1) Why is there “yourbrainonporn” for men, and not “yourbrainonyourdildocollection” for women? “yourbrainoneroticnovels” “yourbrainon50shadesofgray” “yourbrainonTwilight” “yourbrainonhavingtoomanyorbiters” “yourbrainongettingtoomanymessagesinyourinboxonokcupid”? MEN are the ones that it’s a “problem” if they want variety. MEN are the ones that have to change. MEN are the ones that have to fight their biology. hmmm…I wonder why THAT is. Maybe to help create more Softeks, where the girl can cheat on her boyfriend with him and then shame him for looking at another girl
I doubt their goal is that specific. This new narrative about porn addiction being a public health problem is obviously seen by its supporters as yet further ground for political consensus between feminists and social conservatives. It’s not that feminists want to turn the porn industry, or what remains of it, into a political target again, it’s that they need a narrative that is aligned with the Feminine Imperative and moves public discourse about the mating market away from subjects they, and women in general, are very uncomfortable with.
As long as the mainstream media pushes this narrative about young men getting addicted to online porn and thus opting out of the mating market, it will largely stifle any public discourse about the popularity of female emotional porn (romantic literature), and also the real potential causes of widespread porn use, like the drop in average female quality on the mating market and unrestrained hypergamy. Social conservatives, feminists, and the majority of common folk will, of course, be happy to put all blame on men for any social problem, real or not. And it’s very obvious that porn addiction isn’t a problem they want to actually do anything about, it’s more like an excuse for women to whine and moan. Frankly I’m very skeptical about the whole issue of porn addiction, because if something just happens to perfectly fit into the Feminine Imperative, it’s probably no accident. And one wonders how much scientific evidence there actually is for it.
I’ve addressed the physiological and social associations of male masturbation in the past in The Pheromonal Beta, as well as Pathologizing the Male Sexual Response. The “lively” discussion about male masturbation in this week’s comments notwithstanding, the topic du jour in the Twittershpere also seemed to coincide with this topic.
Personally, I think the ‘moral’ dictates about jerking off follows evolutionarily pragmatic reasons for male shame in masturbation while female masturbation is an arousal cue and seen as a positive. Female masturbation is a cue for sexual availability while male masturbation is essentially a Beta Tell.
That’s the nuts and bolts of it from the bio-evolutionary perspective, but as with all other inherently male thumbscrews, the Feminine Imperative has long exploited the sociological implications of men’s need for sex. One thing that slips by relatively unnoticed with social conventions that serve the Feminine Imperative is that the same presumptions that would serve a masculine (in this case sexual) imperative are always shamed or stereotyped – that is until they come into a context that is useful to the feminine.
Sex Sells What?
“Sex sells” is a cliché that can be used in the positive for women, but it is always a negative for men. For women, sold sex in advertising, romantic literature, the meteoric popularity of ‘divorce porn’ for married women, or really any media that stimulates women’s sexual interests is always seen as positive, empowering and exceptional. Even if what their being sold is seedy or can have a potentially negative consequence, in a feminine-primary social order women ‘own’ sex from today’s social perspective. In other words, society at large is expected to defer to women on issues of sex and, by association, romance, love, etc.
Women can still be sold something or induced to buy a product or to adopt a mindset, but that article or the message that’s meant to be internalized is associated with the ‘positive’ of a sexual inference with women.
For men, male sexuality is always a negative association unless that sexuality is expressed in a way that complements women’s sexual strategy. Something being sold via sex to men is either seen as preying upon an inherent weakness (or dependency) for sex or it’s paired with ridicule for men being typical ‘pigs’ and they’re unable to dissociate sex from the objectification of women. So ingrained is this shame-association that men have adapted sexual competition strategies around it in order to identify better with women in the hopes they will be perceived as “not like other, typical, sex hungry men” and that their intimate interests are motivated by something more ephemeral that sex.
The social utility of this shame-association, of course, parallels the utility of Male Catch 22 for the Feminine Imperative, but there’s a useful duplicity for women in this inescapable shame of male sexuality. For instance, when women seek to convince both themselves and men that fat-acceptance and “changing the standards of beauty” should be men’s metric for wanting to fuck and pair with less desirable women, we see the usefulness of that duplicity. Men are useful in the perception that they’re sexually uncontrollable pigs for being so gullible as to allow “society” and advertising agency to define what they think is arousing. However, the Feminine Imperative will readily use (or attempt to use) that same weakness to exploit men into acting against their own, evolved, sexual best interests by selling them the ideal of accepting fat women as a new standard of beauty.
There are no feminine parallels for the pathologizing of the female sex response because those would simply be hindrances to women optimizing their Hypergamous imperatives. Why are there no “yourbrainonporn” sites for women? Why are there no XXXChurch equivalents for the ladies? Why are there no support groups for women ‘addicted’ to romance novels or divorce porn movies? Because that exclusively male pathologizing is only beneficial to the female sexual strategy.
This is the depth of control that the female-primary imperative seeks over men – that our most base biological, existential need should be distorted and psychologically molded by shame to the point of instilling lifelong neurosis and conditioning fear-based gender self-loathing to effect women’s sexual strategy above all other considerations.
I’ll quote the Cardinal Rule of Sexual Strategies once more here: for one sex’s strategy to succeed the other’s must either be compromised or abandoned. Whether subtly instilled or publicly shame-conditioned, associating men’s sexuality with sickness or perversion, weakness, and disability, the underlying purpose is an effort in convincing men to abandon any claim to their own sexual imperative in favor of that of women’s.
Slut Shaming
If this seems like a sea change from the old order days when women were shamed for even the hint of promiscuity while men were lauded for their own sexual exploits, what you’re seeing is the societal shift to feminine social primacy. There was a time when sexual indiscretion was something that shamed women. Today, it’s almost laughable that there should be a need for a social convention like “slut shaming”. There is no such social referencing, but if men on whole can be put to shame for the belief that other men might still cling to older order reservations about women’s sexual exploits it serves to place women’s sexual strategy above that of men’s.
There is always the old standby – the horrible “double standard” about men banging a lot of women being heroes while women who bang a lot of men are sluts (“it sooooo unfair!”). This is a laughable, antique social convention in an era of slut walks and female-centric birth control, but it’s still the reflexive go-to trope when the mechanics of pathologizing men’s sexuality comes to light.
Sex-positive feminism has always been a two-edged sword for women. That positivity ‘fempowers’ women so long as they cling to the old order missives about the Patriarchy repressing that sexuality while it simultaneously disqualifies their complaints of it as Hypergamy becomes more and more openly embraced.
Ghosts in the Machine
Hollenhund continues for us:
YaReally and hoellenhund, you’re talking about all this VR porn stuff but isn’t this basically the same dynamic as prostitution? Same kind of alternative sexual relief (that is not your wife) and same reason why the FI shames prostitutes and men who use prostitutes etc..because they lower the “price” of sexual release..?
YeReally has already answered your question well, I’d say. He brought VR porn up, I didn’t, because I was observing the current situation, not something that only exists today as a potential future development.
I’d add that the dynamic is somewhat different. Apparently the state is willing to penalize prostitution, at least to a degree that makes it sufficiently risky and expensive for many men to avoid it, and the majority of women and their male bootlickers are willing to support political efforts to suppress it. Neither of that applies to pornography of any sort. Women will complain about it, they will support a narrative that portrays it specifically as a problem caused by men, but it’s not like anyone actually wants to make an effort to do something about it. Do you think any woman wants to date, or have sex with, a reformed porn addict? Do you think women want porn addicts to get out of the basement, get their shit together, and hit on women in order to get real-life sex?
For the record, I’m not going to deny that excessive masturbation is unhealthy, or that excessive porn use can elicit unrealistic expectations of sex in a mind of an inexperienced man. Anything should be done in moderation, that goes without saying. But the current public discourse on porn and its effects is complete BS.
I’ve forgotten where I saw the quote posted, so I’ll paraphrase it a bit (I think it may have been Illimitable Man), but there’s a new concept I read about how human beings’ experience of consciousness is now assuming a new, third, aspect – the immediate, the internal and now, the virtual.
The immediate experience is one in which you directly relate with people in real time. It’s you physically and vocally interacting with others. The internal is the conversations you have with yourself and both your conscious and subconscious interpretation of what you’re experiencing, learning, behaving, etc. (i.e. what you’re thinking).
However, the virtual (or digital) aspect of consciousness is something humans have only recently developed and are now on the cutting edge of really understanding. The virtual experience is what I’m doing now as I type this post. I’m relating to you what’s going on in my thought process (to the degree of which I’m aware of it) in a virtual medium. Virtual porn, virtual games, virtual shopping, etc., really anything you do in a digital realm is part of this new form of ‘being’.
Humans in 2016 experience things in ways that our forebearers could scarcely dream of. Our immediate and internal experiences are now being informed by out virtual experiences – in accelerated ways that I don’t think most people really appreciate. The Feminine Imperative is now fighting to establish a foothold in this virtual experience. Thus, we see efforts like GamerGate meant to lock down a control over how men will be allowed to experience this virtual reality. We also see the preliminary efforts to both socially and legislatively institute feminine-primary controls over yet to be developed possibilities of virtual experiences.
Jerking off to ubiquitous, free, online porn is one such experience that the Feminine Imperative has had to play catch-up to with regard to restricting men’s access to it. And thus, we get contingent social controls from the imperative to counter this lack. It’s not enough that men be shamed for their sexual response to online porn. The accessibility makes this impractical, but there’s really no ‘sales’ transaction for which men would feel their sexual “weakness” being exploited.
However, the counter to this then becomes making men’s sexuality itself a disease. “Porn Addiction”, sex addiction, in a religious context even ‘impure thoughts’ become a disease not to be cured, but to be managed by women – women’s definitions, women’s approvals and disapprovals, women’s sexual strategy interests.
And porn is just the tip of the iceberg with regard to the Feminine Imperative’s controls of men’s virtual experiences with women.

I don’t think the crazy hair colors signify much more than a trend. At least in my experience and where I live, chicks that aren’t sumo look alikes aren’t radfem identifying via hair color.
It is on par with the tats and piercings. They get off on ” muh expression “.
It is probably also due to the falling popularity of circuses. Gals think they are treading in unexplored territory because they are unfamiliar with Boffo the clown.

Why do you feel the need to redefine egalitarian when there’s already a perfectly fine word for what we talk about? Complementarianism.
Slight expansion on the above: I think girls often really don’t know how they’re going to react to an advance from a guy until he tries advancing. So you ask, ‘Do you want to kiss me?’ and their reaction is often confused blabbering like ‘I don’t know, why do you ask, what does this mean for us, I don’t know what to tell you,’ blah blah. Then you actually try to kiss her and she turns away or BAM makes out with you, no real uncertainty. She decides in the moment you escalate.

Doesn’t matter either way, whether she is deciding when you escalate or when she is the one escalating it is the same net net… she is swept up in the only truth she knows, the emotion of the moment. and the hamster will resolve everything else on an as needed basis for or against or back again.
Blax – Canada is sorta like the US without the guns close to hand (that could be a good thing or a bad thing depending upon your perspective). Canadian culture is contingent on American culture in a very big way (like the outcome of your next election, and the cultural discussion that the campaigns have fostered so far – in alot of ways this has more bearing on Canadians than our own politics do). Blax – no two ways about it – though there is alot to like and be proud about wrt to Canada – the US is the… Read more »

@Sentient @Forge “”I think girls often really don’t know how they’re going to react to an advance from a guy until he tries advancing…She decides in the moment you escalate.” Doesn’t matter either way, whether she is deciding when you escalate or when she is the one escalating it is the same net net… she is swept up in the only truth she knows, the emotion of the moment. and the hamster will resolve everything else on an as needed basis for or against or back again.” Impossible.

“my meaning is “the same but different” if you will”
My point is why do feel the need to use “egalitarian” all the time when EVERYONE ELSE would use complementarian to describe what you are saying. And you bring it up over and over again… You just seem hung up on it which is why SJF says you’re bargaining…
Andy – for the reason I already said. Rollo does not use the concept of complementarianism in a way the means what I have described as the egalitarian (which is in keeping with the original meaning of the word “egalitarian”, in any event)
@ WildMan, Thanks for defining your version of egalitarianism. Your comments had confused me thus far where i wasn’t sure what you were arguing for/against, its clearer now. “egalitarian = the belief that the perspective of the equal fundamental existential worth of individuals, which naturally predisposes one to a frame of mutual respect, is a worthy perspective wrt promoting trust and therefore cooperation as mitigated by discernment around the expectation of reciprocity in this regards” I disagree on the perspective of the equal fundamental existential worth of everyone, even after you qualify/hedge with the expectation of reciprocity. Main reason is… Read more »
” “Men and women are fundamentally equal even if this ‘equality’ manifests differently in men and women” which to me doesn’t actually make sense . . .”
The concept is essentially metaphysical. It has no objective instantiation.
” . . . though it sounds nice.”
Which is how he basically phrased it above. “Wouldn’t it be nice if . . .?”
He is appealing to consequences. In this case on both sides, because if it is not so his sanity may be in jeopardy.

I have fashioned a life for myself,… I am renovating my house. I live on my own, in my own house and enjoy that freedom immensely. I..I..I..my..I..I
And never a single Field Report. Why? What could the reason possibly be?
SJF – I find the application of the Kubler-Ross DABDA shit repeatedly thrown my way by you, a little annoying and offensive truth be told.
Many men in the anger phase respond that way.
Wild Person

Right, Rollo keeps on using his definition, which has application in the real world, and rejecting your 1970’s 2nd-stage Feminist touchy-feely glop that has been an epic FAIL in the real world.
Now, why do you suppose is? What could be the reason?
“And never a single Field Report. Why? What could the reason possibly be?”
Yeah. I want to thank Wildman for playing the qualify to me game. But all I really wanted to ferret out was whether he was getting laid with all that blue pill proto-type philosophy he is spitting out here.
@kfg true, I see the difference he is saying that egalitarianism as he defines it, is a worthwhile perspective, (nice to have) vs this is how it actually is irl.
And Ludiam0ndz comes to the same conclusion every other TRM commenter has about WM since he began his moonbeam tirades a year and a half ago.
Next please.
@Sentient, YaReally HABD and all….. One of my plates has been amping up the shit tests and it’s been interesting seeing how far I need to amp up the asshole…I’m surprising myself. The other day she texted me about why I didn’t come out to a Latin class I’d recommended her to attend. Me: I’m in bed baby…biz trip early tomorrow….meet you Friday Her: I’m not going to dance with you…because you stood me up At that point I had to scratch my head. I didn’t think we’d made plans or maybe she thought we did….either way…the ultimatum rubbed me… Read more »
ludiamondz Let’s start with your last comment first: “Men and women are fundamentally equal even if this ‘equality’ manifests differently in men and women” which to me doesn’t actually make sense, though it sounds nice. lol.” There has already been discussion here with respect to measure of “g” and perhaps other intellligence measures beyond what “g” measures, that bear out a normative similarity wrt to gendered intelligences, however the component skills associated with “g” are somewhat different, and furthermore there is wider distribution curve wrt to men vs. woman (more male outliers on both ends). So women inferior in what… Read more »

But all I really wanted to ferret out was whether he was getting laid with all that blue pill proto-type philosophy he is spitting out here.
To ask the question is to know the answer.
The concept of “authority” is entirely illusory…it is an artificial construct w/o any foundation in nature.
The exercise of “authority” cannot be accomplished w/o the concurrent presence of its diabolical cousin; violence or the threat of violence.
Those who believe that they have some right to exercise “authority” are suffering from a mind rife with delusion; those who allow themselves to be subjected to “authority” suffer from a slave mentality and an equally unbalanced psyche.
@walawala “Her: I’m not going to dance with you…because you stood me up” I usually just send “lol” to those “trying to punish me by framing herself as a prize that I’m not allowed to have” shit-tests. Nice and simple and ambiguous. @Sentient lol that vid is a good example of one of those situations where buddy could have walked away a thousand times (even left the party, ate some humble pie and took the reputation hit, etc).

Remember that the word “religion” is derived from the Latin *religare*…which, of course, means to bind…to tie…to restrain…(from advancement, from knowledge, from progress, and, most importantly, from freedom).

Wild man, you’re just trying to cover vapidity with logorhea. FYI, just because there are no universal standards of what’s better or worse(you don’t even need that g parenthetical argument, you can simply value retarded people more considering all values including ethics are arbitrary) doesn’t mean you can’t judge given your personal beliefs nor does it imply any form of equality.

@YaReally thanks . Normally I reply with “k” but she’s started copying my text patterns so I had to amp up the asshole.
The punishment shit test is self sabotaging…now when I go out I have to soft next her and blank her.
The drama with some of these girls is draining. How should I act if I run across her again? Do i blank her or say hi and risk the pouty crap….?
@ Sentient- Been crazy, crazy busy at work. One of those days where you start to question ” what the fuck does it all mean…” LMAO. But I wanted to say something to ya a while back and got all sidetracked. When I attempt to speak to a woman, and I’m getting the ” answers with zero eyeball ” routine, ( If I’m not tired..) I will say something that I know is not expected. Many times chicks with bf’s will avoid eye contact with a ” strange dude “. Like you say, other times because they get hit on… Read more »
Karen, no, the delusional people are those who believe that they have rights(to anything), when the existence of those rights is merely a function of those with power regulating them. What’s real is the power and the authority that stems from it, not some illusory social contracts we call rights. How the heck is anyone with power delusional when they exercise authority? Because they should care about the moral condemnations of weaklings that ramble about rights? So what if they’d use violence or the threat of it? It’s comical adults believe all this bullshit just because it was said in… Read more »

All opinions are rooted in subjectivity.
Virtually all subjectivity is rooted in either “how does this advance my agenda” or “whose ox is gored”.
It would appear as if someone is trying to exercise their authority,in denying authority.

Since there is no *quid pro quo* being requested for services rendered; your claim is not grounded in reality.

There once was a man from Kent,his dick was so long that it bent,to save some great trouble he stuck it in double ,instead of cumming he went.
Well, I’ll just post up some thoughts and stories RE: Tattooed chicks. Sentient put it on my brain with the pierced chick thing. Generally, I’m not a fan of tats, but since practically everyone has them nowadays, they are not striking me as much. I still don’t get the whole body tat thing, but whateva. One of my first experience with a woman with multiple large tats, was with a Russian stripper. The club I worked at had a ” Brazilian ” night, and a ” Russian ” night. The Russian chicks were fucking Amazons. 5’9″ and up. Most of… Read more »

In 30-40 years, there’s gonna be some horrible looking people walking around, stretched out, unrecognizable tattoos.
Some people are already there. Friend of mine works in an E.R.
The other day he observed “Tats don’t age well” but didn’t go into any detail. Might be some “frequent fliers” involved.
He did mention tangentially just how glad he is to go home at end of shift to normal life.
A strange thing with tats,my 6yo grandbaby,came home with a sheet of lick and stick tats that were given to her at kru for good behavior. Her mom didn’t see anything wrong with this.I pointed out they shouldn’t be selling body art to a bunch of pre adolescents. The chick with the fishook in her lip looks like the one that got away. Don’t want to be standing next to someone with nose piercings when they blow their nose.
