Fun fact 1: a man's semen coagulates (thickens) when it's ejaculated in order to stay in place near the cervix and prevent competitors' semen from reaching it.

Fun fact 2: evolution has shaped the head of the penis however to displace competitors' semen from the vagina. Technically the larger the penis the better.

A reminder that we are animals and that monogamy was definitely not the norm for a very, very long time.

If sexual desire often follows arousal rather than precedes it — especially for many women — what might we miss out on by always waiting to ‘feel in the mood’ before beginning intimacy?

I don't understand why a certain category of people believe that we need to have jobs to have #purpose. The vast majority of us work simply to get paid. If #AI wipes out the #jobmarket, but we all get a decent #universalbasicincome from all the money saved and profits made, my guess is very few people will feel depressed. We'd probably read more books, do more charity work, hang out with #FriendsAndFamily, have more #sex. Heck, maybe we might even just start having more kids, Elon.

We talk a lot about #stressmanagement - #breathwork, #mindfulness, #journaling... but rarely about #masturbation or #sex, often more accessible and enjoyable for many. Why?
A century ago, Wilhelm Reich argued that much #trauma is stored in the pelvis and that #orgasm is a vital release. Modern science and #somatic #therapy suggest he wasn't far off the mark.
Are we letting cultural prudishness block a natural path to #healing? ❤️💦

In today's hyper-productive #hustleculture, now super-charged by #AI, #sex and #masturbation are opportunities to slow down, reset our nervous systems, process trauma and remind ourselves/ celebrate that we're #human, not machine.

The world might be a better, safer place if more cultures normalized #nudity. Maybe the way we hide our bodies actually fuels unhealthy sexual attitudes. In northern Europe, mixed nude saunas prove it’s possible to separate nudity from sex, while at the same time fostering #respect and #bodypositivity. It doesn't make people any less sexual, just more likely to express it in a safe, positive way.

It's only weird if you make it weird.

What do you think?

If your partner treated you the way you treat your own body, would you feel valued and loved?

#selfcompassion #bodypositivity #SexualConfidence #gratitude #selfworth

I read somewhere that (beyond religious reasons) most of us are monogamous these days because we have low self worth and are selfish. We're afraid that introducing anyone else to the equation will introduce the possibility of being lesser than, and we believe that our partners pleasure should only ever come from us and us alone.

Thoughts? 🧐
