  • Merchants Of
    Introduction The Jews never faced much anti-Semitism in America. This is due, in large part, to the underlying ideologies it was founded on; namely, universalistic interpretations of Christianity and Enlightenment ideals of freedom, equality and opportunity for all. These principles, which were arguably created with noble intent – and based on the values inherent in a society of European-descended peoples of high moral character – crippled the defenses of the individualistic-minded White natives and gave the Jews free reign to consolidate power at a rather alarming rate, virtually unchecked. The Jews began emigrating to the United States in waves around 1880, when their population was only about 250,000. Within a decade that number was nearly double, and by the 1930s it had shot to 3 to 4 million. Many of these immigrants – if not most – were Eastern European Jews of the nastiest sort, and they immediately became vastly overrepresented among criminals and subversives. A 1908 police commissioner report shows that while the Jews made up only a quarter of the population of New York City at that time, they were responsible for 50% of its crime. Land of the free. One of their more common criminal activities has always been the sale and promotion of pornography and smut. Two quotes should suffice in backing up this assertion, one from an anti-Semite, and one from a Jew. Firstly, an early opponent of the Jews in America, Greek scholar T.T. Timayenis, wrote in his 1888 book The Original Mr. Jacobs that nearly “all obscene publications are the work of the Jews,” and that the historian of the future who shall attempt to describe the catalogue of the filthy publications issued by the Jews during the last ten years will scarcely believe the evidence of his own eyes.

  • Venciendo La Adicción Al Porno
    Venciendo la Adicción al Porno 7 pasos para vivir una vida sexual sana Gonzalo Salinas Quiero dedicar este libro a los hombres valientes que hoy están tomando la decisión de sanar su adicción a la pornografía para disfrutar de una sexualidad sana y una vida en libertad. “The opposite of addiction isn't sobriety. It's connection. It's all I can offer. It's all that will help [you] in the end. If you are alone, you cannot escape addiction. If you are loved, you have a chance. For a hundred years we have been singing war songs about addicts. All along, we should have been singing love songs to them.” Johann Hari, Chasing the Scream: The First and Last Days of the War on Drugs “At the core of every addiction is an emptiness based in abject fear. The addict dreads and abhors the present moment; she bends feverishly only toward the next time, the moment when her brain, infused with her drug of choice, will briefly experience itself as liberated from the burden of the past and the fear of the future—the two elements that make the present intolerable. Many of us resemble the drug addict in our ineffectual efforts to fill in the spiritual black hole, the void at the center, where we have lost touch with our souls, our spirit—with those sources of meaning and value that are not contingent or fleeting. Our consumerist, acquisition-, action- , and image-mad culture only serves to deepen the hole, leaving us emptier than before. The constant, intrusive, and meaningless mind-whirl that characterizes the way so many of us experience our silent moments is, itself, a form of addiction—and it serves the same purpose.

  • My Story It Is My Hope That Telling My Story Will Help Even One Person Not
    My Story It is my hope that telling my story will help even one person not to fall into the porn trap which caught me. My story is very hard to tell because every part of it hurts so much and is full of bad memories and broken lives. Some of the memories are still being made as I have no real normal life anymore. My porn addiction started out like any other addiction. First look at magazines which everyone looks at right? Then you need more and more to get the same high you got the first time. Eventually stress entered my life through work and I withdrew into my own secret little dirty world of porn. The beauty of internet made porn easily reachable with just a click of the mouse button. And I mean everything. Even better it was free, so I thought. Unknown to me at the time I was becoming desensitised to normal stimulation I use to get when I started looking at porn. Eventually normal porn and extreme porn wasn’t enough to get me into that high I wanted to escape to so I could better deal with my stress and addiction. I then stumbled across P2P sites by using specific free software. I found references to terms and letters I wasn’t familiar with and curiosity got the better of me. I did a click, cut and paste. The search field gave me access to the most taboo porn I had ever seen. At first it disgusted me but gave me that shock and wow factor my brain needed.

  • The Organ of Tactility: Fantasy, Image and Male Masturbation Jaco J
    The Organ of Tactility: Fantasy, Image and Male Masturbation Jaco J. Hamman1 Abstract This article explores the interplay of fantasy and image in male solitary masturbation in the virtual age. Online pornography drastically changed the intimate relationship between the hand and the penis. The case of a seventeen-year-old boy and his excessive use of Internet pornography is used to highlight pornography’s impact on a person’s well-being and neurology. A brief exploration of three histories of masturbation shows how discussion of masturbation often serves political agendas and the central role of sexual fantasy in the practice. Sexual fantasy is explored through the research of British psychoanalyst Brett Kahr. To examine the prevalence of the eye in pornography, philosopher Michael Taussig’s concept of “the eye as the organ of tactility” is discussed. The essay concludes by offering a framework to discern whether masturbating to images might be disordered or not. Fantasy, as nonvisual sexual arousal, with mindfulness can relieve a person from the tyranny of the eye and compulsive masturbation. Keywords Boys, Brett Kahr, Erotic Fantasy, Internet, Mark Twain, Masturbation, Men, Onanism, Pornography, Samuel-August Tissot, Sex, Sexuality, Michael Taussig, Technology 1J. J.

It has eclipsed what has been called the coital imperative, as an estimated 98% of men (and 87% of women) masturbate (Kahr, 2007, p. 75).

  • Highly Vulnerable to Addiction
    Guys’ Posts About Adolescent Porn Use (2011-12) 21 year old. Porn addict. My background leading to my story: I found out about porn when I was about 10 years old. I started masturbating around 9. Although I knew about porn, I always masturbated without it. Mostly because I didn‘t have access to it. By 12, I got a porn magazine from my cousin. I occasionally masturbated to it, but I would say that 90% of the time, I would masturbate without it. At the age of 13, I started to masturbate to porn more often[ about 5 times a month], but because I had a girlfriend [which lasted until I was 15] it still wasn‘t a lot. I would usually make out with my gf, we would feel each other up and I would masturbate later. After my girlfriend and I broke up, I started to masturbate to porn more frequently. At this point, I would say I masturbated to porn about 10 times a month. But I would still masturbate without it at the same rate. The duration of each masturbation session was between 15-25 minutes. It started going downhill fast at the age of 18. I had easy access to porn and a lot of time alone at home. I went from masturbating around 5 times a week, 50% of the time with porn, to 7-10 times a week, 95% of the time with porn. My masturbation sessions increased to about 35-45 minutes at this time. Occasionally, I would give myself a 2-4 day break because my erections started getting weaker.

  • India Just Passed a Trans Rights Bill. Why Are Trans Activists Protesting It? Npr.Org, December 4, 2019 ​
    India Just Passed A Trans Rights Bill. Why Are Trans Activists Protesting It? npr.org, December 4, 2019 ​ The new legislation purports to protect transgender rights — but many trans activists say it does the exact opposite. They say it's a huge blow to India's already vulnerable transgender community and undoes a lot of progress made over the past few years. The bill comes just over a year after the Indian Supreme Court's landmark decision to decriminalize homosexuality. ​ At a news conference in Delhi a day after the bill was passed, transgender activist Grace Banu described it as a "murder of gender justice." The Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) bill prohibits discrimination against transgender persons with regard to things like education, employment and the ability to rent or buy property. It also gives transgender persons a "right to self-perceived identity" — but requires them to register with the government if they want to be officially recognized as "transgender." If a transgender person identifies as a trans man or trans woman and wants to be legally recognized as such, they have to submit proof of gender confirmation surgery to the government. Trans activist Gee Imaan Semmalar says the identity registration requirement flouts a landmark 2014 ruling by India's Supreme Court which recognized the right to choose gender. "The bill goes against the right to dignity and bodily autonomy of trans people," Semmalar wrote to NPR in an email. He's a member of Sampoorna Working Group, an advocacy organization for transgender and intersex rights. "You're basically putting a lot of burden on trans people and adding a lot of bureaucratic layers and red-tapeism," says Ajita Banerjie, a Delhi-based gender and sexuality rights researcher.

  • I Think I Have Deathgrip.. Looking for Advice.. 23 Upvotes | 24 December, 2018 | by Joeboard
    I think I have deathgrip.. looking for advice.. 23 upvotes | 24 December, 2018 | by Joeboard Okay, im gonna be completely honest here and I am looking for some real solid advice.. I havnt had sex in a couple of years, about 3 years. Started seeing this girl, and had sex Saturday. I can get hard and stay hard for awhile, but I cannot bust. We fucked for a solid 40 minutes, and eventually gave up. I originally chalked it up to being nervous.. after she left, i had blue balls like a mofo and tried to jerk off, couldnt bust (but my dick was a little sore from fucking for so long). Sunday rolls around, i have to work and I have blue balls all day long. I figure I could forsure cum, hit her up she comes over and SAME SHIT. I stayed hard, she enjoys herself forsure but I can tell she feels some type of way about me not getting off. This time i was able to jerk off afterwards and cum finally, but thats when I came across this deathgrip shit online.. Ive been jerkin off for the last 3 years.. i use a lube, but a tight grip.. how could I fucking prefer my god damn hand over a beautiful girl? I need some real advice here guys. First time we used a condom, second time I went raw and not much of a difference. I wont see her again until next weekend, i plan on doing the nofap shit, but im reading horror stories of this taking months to cure.
