After two interviews with my bishop, I now have the choice of picking an elder to ordain me as Priest next Sunday. As of that date I am 23 days a baptized Mormon.
Is it not too early to serve the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saint? No, for it is not I who hears God calling me but the bishop who knows that I shall be an usher because, despite lost sleep from the night before, I am trusted due to the mercy, not of him, but of God himself.
Yes, but it is because I answered the questions correctly, but not according to my libertarian views. For libertarian means "a person who shall live for the day, choosing to act conservative when it suits him with regard to private worship while actually holding onto liberal values like a life raft in his secular role in society."
I believe the pejorative term to describe me is "hypocrite" which means "a person who applies the least amount of critical thought to all things in his practice of his faith; he who acts pious on Sunday but is the least pious when it is not the Lord's day; a person who act religious in front of pious people."
Recently I have talked to an apostate who is First Nations, and argued with him about the chastity vow. He claims that most religious people break their vows regularly by claiming that overall, most Christians masturbate (99% men, 90% women). My counterargument is that 75% of Mormons masturbate, overall (80% men and 62% women). I decided not to add that by the time they get baptized (between their 10th to 12th year), the rate might be higher but becomes lower.
A lot of Mormons can save their grief if they have fallen due to masturbation. This is not an act that will lead to Spirit Prison. However, this sin is what the Melchizedek priesthood uses to psychologically blackmail members of the church, and sometimes the lower Aaronic priesthood. It is also what confessing to such a thing may lead to NOT being a Good Member In Standing - pun intended.
Since most masturbation is done in the privacy of the home, it is between you and God, not anyone in the Priesthoods to use to control your behavior and to use in an excommunication due to fapping instead of praying to the Lord. Prayer is the recommended method of substitution, i.e. praying rather than fapping.
It is unimportant to the higher priests to even mention masturbation to them, because it tempts them to commit the higher sin of Lording it over you. Remember the Bible story about the rich man praying to God and the poor may praying also. That is the sin that anyone who controls other people, regardless of whether it is religion or politics, commits and it is less pardonable than breaking the vow of chastity.
For when a rich man is humble, he is no different from a poor man who humbles himself by praying, "Lord, have mercy on me a sinner."
Indeed, a priest ought to make the Sinner's prayer his motto.

The Melchizedek priesthood is the higher priesthood; and the Aaronic is the lower.

What My Sex is Like in my Head (satire)
In public I sometimes behave like a socially inept 12-year-old. Some women who observe me get anxious, and ignore me. Other women try to maintain oblivious serenity. A few of them are disgusted with my "attitude."
Then I go home, sleep less than six hours a night, and is a willing captive of the manic libido!
Why? Because it beats the sadness inherent in depression, the anxiety about my lack of a sexual relationship.
Indeed, I especially loathe the social isolation that consistently befalls me after getting 6-10 hours of "normal" sleep at night.
For me, life isn't fulfilling because no woman is willing to cross the threshold and get to know me intimately.
Do I have to plan the seeds of passion into her mind to inflame her heart so that she crosses the line which separates us? I think not: no woman in her right mind wants to cross that boundary because she is safe living her life on her own terms without me.
She does not wish to share a life together with me for the same reason that I used to enjoy sleeping until noon: its safety socially isolates each of us from being intimate lest all hell break loose. This is also why women fear having mad sex without regret, because they loathe casual sex for its lack of a long-term relationship.
To most women, sex and intimacy is tied to a relationship which leads to a family. Thus sex for them is a means to an end: having children and mainly, companionship with a suitable lover and perhap a husband.
For men, sex is about lowering the blood pressure and rewarding their mate for picking them to protect them from other men. Women however call this reason for sex "selfish", ignoring the simple fact that their family-mindedness may be a mind game that they create for themselves to justify enjoying sex to the fullest.
In my humble opinion, women think about sex more often than men, but convince their men that their selfish sex is sexist whilst hold family-mindedness as the highest of human virtues. This is the work of the libido, not a rational mind.
For love is tied to our emotions and feelings about sex and relationships. They cannot help but be.
Indeed, libido is both the motivator of our feelings and emotions to use said feelings to establish emotional ties so that the mind does not turn to the dark side (depression) and cause a person to become socially isolated from family, friends and loved ones.
We fear loneliness so much that we ignore the fact that we spend most of our lives alone, shaking off the stress caused by the resulting anxieties.
This is why my sex activity is all in my head, while my hand is beating a tattoo to the south! >:)

Demon babies and Fapping (satire)
Demon babies are conceived by Lilith, Satan's spouse from Hell, so it is written in some arcane Kabala text. She uses avatars called succubi to collect the energy created during your nocturnal emissions and other dark forms of fapping.
This energy is life energy, which means the more you fap, the more likely you'll have a shorter sex life. After you die, Lilith brings all your demon babies to show to God.
Whether you go to Hell is dependent on whether you thought of God while fapping.
Though I am of the opinion that fapping does not offend God, he being the author who created the soul. Thus fapping is the lesser evil, for fornication is supposedly a greater evil.
It isn't satanic; it's just human nature, which is anathema to a good Christian life.
Personally I believe that Lilith is not Satan's handmaiden.
My guess is, Adam couldn't put up with her and demanded a more submissive wife, which makes Eve the mother of all women who abandoned feminism for patriarchal submission to men.
Perhaps Lilith is the mother of neo-pagan feminism, though most pagans do not admit to the Judeo-Christian roots of their goddesses.
So, I don't really believe in demon babies, though Eros may be the muse of my fapping, and all Lilith is, is the Jewish guilt over fapping.
Since I am not Jewish, but Buddhist, that guilt is but suffering so fapping is the lesser of two evils. Besides, I know of a way to burn evil karma from fapping that involves dedicated chanting and a strong focus on that chanting.
YMMV

Stopping the End of the World (NSWF satire)
Now I know why boys learn about it before girls. For me, it's the most effective antidepressant and antipsychotic in the world. It also removes anxiety.
Sadly, parents have banned fapping education in school. Mental health associations continue the propaganda by encouraging consumers to be sexually active, just not fap active.
Thus, the implication is that fapping is "unhealthy".
Why is not fapping the end of the world?
Overpopulation could be solved and population control achieved by this simple act since the less a nation faps, the more likely it is overpopulated. My guess is, with India, China and Africa having rising populations, perhaps their people don't fap much.
Most likely, Japan faps too much as their population rate is lower than ours.
Perhaps the end of world is nigh. To hold off Armageddon, please fap and save the world!

Rationale for May is Masturbation Month
During 9/11/01, the terrorists missed their target: the Wall Street server farm. When the Occupy Wall Street movement happened, they too missed their target and never shut down Wall Street.
Both of them missed by three city blocks.
I cannot support such failure, but neither can I support the oppression that Wall Street represents.
Therefore, I support May is Masturbation Month because orgasms have never failed.

NWSF: Warning! May is National Masturbation Month
According to their website, The Canadian Mental Health Association is against masturbation, as most of the medications reduce the ability to have orgasms. So a lot of mentally ill people have given up on orgasms in favor of quality relationships.
I can't think of a funny comeback to this as some types pf medications not only reduce the ability to have an orgasm, they also do not improve a person's ability to take a joke.
As well, the advocation of masturbation would not be endorsed by the government, due to the myth that it leads to reduced production at work. If the government had its way, then it would expect anyone aged 16 or older to be working.
Is it is any wonder that sex crimes including stalking have gotten into the law books? People obsessed about sex who get caught are unfairly daemonized by society as either a criminal or worse, mentally ill.
Perhaps this is how the "sex is counterproductive to the GNP of a nation" myth got started. First you label them crazy; then you criminalize them.
However, masturbation is the only safe sex when practiced online without intention to meet. What this means is the vice of erotica isn't going to be defeated by making it illegal online. It also means that sanitizing the Internet would also require sanitizing the world i.e. allowing sexually repressive laws to control our sex lives.
Of course, there is an alternative: we could learn more about Tibetan Buddhism and its tantric yoga. We could even learn about skyclad yoga, though there would be less co-ed classes for it due to the risk of decadent hedonists ruining its purpose to transcend the carnality of coitus.

Lack of Game Makes Me Blue
I feel that much of my behavior is related to major depressive disorder.
The consistent symptoms are weight gain, insomnia, and long periods of sleep.
Associated with it, but not a definite causal factor, is lack of a life partner.
At times I also tend to express my inner voice in a manner which leads to alienation by peers.
Yet none of my behavior symptoms indicate any obvious signs of delusion, dementia, mania or psychosis.
Most importantly I have no violent ideation (including rages).
However, the lack of a life partner shows a potential alienation of romantic feelings.
From what little I've been able to get out of women who've rejected me, I am "not their type", which means they wouldn't make love with me, even if I was the last man on Earth.
A probable cause of this alienation of affection is strongly related to persistence on my part, combined with lack of an established outer voice which is amenable to the mutual romantic interests of both the woman and myself.
In short, while I do walk the walk, I don't talk the talk in a manner which satisfies the woman's criteria of "her type."
However, deep down I know that anxiety and fear tends to serve as the unconscious motivation for the mate selection process amongst heterosexual females.
It's quite obvious that some women are anxious around me due to miscommunication, but an underlying fear of intimacy is raised because I am "not their type."
Sometimes I feel that most women have already made up their mind that they are not going to fuck me within 5 seconds of meeting me. :o
So obviously the solution is to meet more women, and learn and observe the cues which show that I am making the right, or wrong, impression on "that girl."
OK, maybe I am thinking too much about women and how to impress them.
While I cannot blame them for any health risks arising on my part from not being with a woman, or any deliberate attempt to put me at risk on their part, from an objective view, rejection is causing a depressive reaction.
My novel way of dealing with rejection and its reaction, depression, is to masturbate often. It appears to work better than anti-depressants, and reduces my anxiety better than benzodiazepines.
Still, it'd be nice to share an orgasm. :D
Thus I need game, not right away but sometime soon.
***And no, I am not whining or crying about lack of game. However, the dates with Mary Hand are getting monotonous.

Redtube - Censored Review
Disclaimer: This post is rated mature. Anyone reading this review who are shocked, please reread this disclaimer. For the record, viewing on-line pornography is not a perversion unless I act on what I see. After an orgasm, though, I lose all desire to act. On that note, here is the review of Redtube.
5-7 years ago that I discovered Redtube. On that website, I found categories of videos of sexual acts, most of which I've never done. My first reaction was to get aroused. With respect to delicate minds, it resulted in a happy ending. >:)
Since then I have visited Redtube at least once a week to have said happy ending. :p
However, I deny that I am addicted to Redtube as I forget about going there for days, sometimes weeks, or maybe a month.
One of the most arousing videos consisted of male-female coitus in which the female was loudly vocalizing her pleasure. Epic moment!
Today I occasionally peruse the contents of Redtube in private. This is why the categories I pick will not be posted in this blog.
In fact, I recommended Redtube to the curious mature adult who has Google skills. ;)
Good luck and have a fine happy ending! I know I will!

Masturbation and Mental Health
Anyone notice how mental health advocates subtly associate masturbation with anti-social behavior when it's actually a form of safe sex?
Did you know that the majority of sex offenders NEVER practice masturbation but consistently fail at safe sex?
Thus the fallacy that masturbation is not pro-social is promoted rather than that it's a form of safe sex which prevents pregnancy.
Therefore as part of a rapist's sentence, he must masturbate before he sees the hot doctor for tberapy.
As well, there ought to be a therapy session for mental health consumers about sexuality with a pro-masturbation component.
Additional, contraband such as pure MDMA should replace the stimulants now in our prisons in Canada.
It is for the good of their mental health.
YMMV

Dear God (humour)
Dear God, I know that an orgasm is essential to my mental health and overall well-being, and that putting it off for months is considered the norm for the devoutly Christian. Yet I am far from that, and have worn the sheep's clothing. However I am not the wolf. I don't identify with that archetype. It is not me. If there is an emotional disconnect here, then it is because I have forgotten that there is a balance of good and evil to be done within my heart.
It is known among sexual health professionals that regular masturbation is harmless, and that the real harm comes from thinking that suppressing natural human desire is the same as sublimating it.
Why, I had great productivity without wanking each night! It's just another human activity to help me regain my sanity. I know that you understand this but self will is trying to take over my life.
I will be responsible in controlling self will, even if sometimes i have to appease it with an orgasm or three. ;)
Getting to bed early enough is the most appealing alternative. Yet I will masturbate once a week to retain my sanity in spire of the neuroses which arise from stress like this.
Anyway God, thanks for listening.
I gotta go wank again.

Female Masturbation: Vulva Worship
The vulva is holy, and the period the most holy of times for a woman.
This is what native americans taught their daughters, but it was Christianity that dissed the vulva.
For female masturbation is the most holy of worship.

Masturbation: Better than Sex
Masturbation is better than sex because it is the most effective form of safe sex.
It does not cause pregnancy, and may reverse certain forms of mental illness.
A person who masturbates is as healthy as one who regularly has sex.
So why procrastinate when you can merrily masturbate?
Though that's a rational answer.
The emotional response is to accuse me of being cold, and then to defend sex because it is an expression of love.
For few persons wish to have sex; they wish to make love, and this post is only concerned with sex.

the blessed ritual which unleashes
orgasms that quickly unite
the sheer agony of samsara
with the divine bliss of nirvana.

The Cheapest Form of Anti-Depressant is Censored
If I censor my self, a bit of me withers away. My joy becomes false, and my happiness a delusion.
Such denial will only kill all joy and make happiness a fleeting memory.
In this kind of environment, selflessness seems close at hand, only to show the roughness of selfishness underneath.
Thus is censorship a dread oppression.
Masturbation is not a mortal sin, for its climax, the orgasm, is the world's cheapest anti-depressant.
The only reason for sexual censorship and other forms of oppression is to render people mad so that hospitals and pharmaceutical companies can profit from their misery.
Indeed, censorship is the indirect cause of immorality and perversions and both the cause and effect of certain forms of psychiatric disorders.

Masturbation and Phallus Worship
Finally, a little religious mantra for what I do best at night:
NARACHASTRA PRAYOGA Sanskrit
Men who worship their own sexual organs.
SENZURI Japanese
Male masturbation (literally "a hundred rubs"). "Shiko shiko manzuri" is the female version (literally "ten thousand rubs").
Hm... if zuri means rubs, then "sen" means "a hundred" and "man", "ten thousand". But I thought "shiko" means "urine." Maybe it means "sexual secretions."
Thus, a man may take a hundred strokes while a woman attains her satisfaction ten thousand times.

Masturbation as Protest Against Rejection
I was reading the sexuality issue of Visions, put out by the Canadian Mental Health Assn BC members.
(See page 22 of http://www.cmha.bc.ca/files/08.pdf)
They said a person should seek help if their means of sexual gratification leads to social isolation.
Specifically, one should seek help if one's behavior "has become a substitute for, rather than part of, a meaningful relationship with another person; that is, the solitary behaviour allows you to avoid intimacy."
Masturbation alone appears to fit this criteria since a typical chronic masturbator usually is socially isolated from potential partner of relational sex.
Consequently, the solitary behavior involved around masturbation allows one to "avoid intimacy."
So, intimacy involves a willing partner? Only in a culture where individualism honored and paraded around is this so.
Methinks Western society stil has hang-ups about masturbation.
I think the fact that it is mainly associated with gay male sexual behavior on the Internet is part of this Western cultural hang-up about masturbation.
Well, I am gonna be anal and in denial about masturbation.
I am not avoiding intimacy; I am trying to be *my type*.
To me masturbation is a protest against hundreds of women suffering "not my type" reaction to me.

Evil Depends on Circumstances
Since good and evil depends on the circumstances, the following is true to me:
If one believes that a medical condition allows one to commit an act which violates a precept without harming others, then it is a necessary evil.
A good example is the fact that an orgasm for a male prevents and/or delays the onset prostrate cancer.
Since the easiest way to have an orgasm for a man is to masturbate, then the sexual "sin" is forgiveable due to medical expediency.
However, one should not pretend that the sexual act outside of marriage is condoned by confusing masturbation with coitus.
While the person who masturbates uses sexual fantasies which may involve sexual misconduct, because it is a mind-only delusion necessary to prevent future suffering, one won't go to Avici Hell for such a transgression.
But it is immoral to fantasize about seduction of bodhisattvas, since that could harm one's rebirth in such a way as to condemn him or her to the most difficult of births, that of a human being.
