Can sex be fantastic even if you don't have an orgasm?

PontifexMarximus comments on Aug 31, 2018:

interesting question ... but perhaps you should refine what you mean by sex. Remember Bill Clinton? The guy who said that he smoked but didn't inhale. His definition of sex seemed to be different from the mainstream perception.

Do you think it's possible to have chemistry from just tl talking on the phone and texting?

Interesting question ... I hadn't really thought about the tag I would give myself.

I know a lot of people won't respond to a simple message of "hi" or "good morning" on a dating site,...

Wait until I finish!!! Do not react to my initial statement!!! This fucking religious idiot has a point. Nudity has been commercialised. To counter his argument ... GET NAKED en masse!

So this is my first post and I will see how it goes.

PontifexMarximus comments on Aug 30, 2018:

Perhaps not all that relevant ..but I found this site from an ad on a dating site that is dominated by Filipinas 85% of which request men who have "fear of god". Back one step ... I was born an atheist but it took me a while to figure it out. I was baptised and my grandmother dragged me to church each Sunday I was staying with her. So my little bottom had early exposure to the holy planks that I had to share with old widows. Oh ... I also had to attend a church run scholl because the state didn't provide schools despite the fact the attendance was compulsory. Totally fucked up system. So I got early exposure to all the labels and terminology ... but ... Nobody around me ever seriously indoctrinated me. Later I realised the religious stuff was just like set in a theatre. Now reading stories like your's made me rethink. I had no idea that it would take courage to extract oneself from the fangs of these poor wretched believers who themselves were inocculated with the holy crap at an early age. I hope you find some likeminded people with whom you can share your thoughts and anxieties. I am currently in China where the political climate is changing rapidly and drastically, where everyone has to swear loyalty to the motherland and the "core value of socialism" while witnessing how the country is wrecked and ruined by the most savage capitalism.

WHAT'S YOUR POSITION ON ABORTION ?

PontifexMarximus comments on Aug 30, 2018:

Women should definitely have the right to have an abortion.

Do you find nudity in art unacceptable and why or why not?

PontifexMarximus comments on Aug 30, 2018:

Not just in art ...given that the birthday suit has no buttons nudity should just be seen as natural. Unfortunately, it has been commercialised and thus monopolised by some industries. I remember taking my daughters (Australians) to Germany and we went for a swim at a small lake. As we got out of the car my daughters almost pushed a scream: "Daddy look!" I didn't see anything extraordinary. "They are all naked." Indeed they were and "they" were people of all ages and sizes none of whom would have been elegible to pose for a glossy magazine.

How do religions really develop? They are not something that is spontaneous they must be created.

PontifexMarximus comments on Aug 30, 2018:

If we take a look at our mind ... and try to look rationally ... We realise that the mind is a converter. It converts perceptions and tries to store them. Unfortunately, there is no neutral little, conscientious, neutral librarian sitting inside the mind who organises the converted perceptions by labelling them properly and storing them systematically for easy storage and subsequent retrieval. I see the mind as a sort of dump where all sorts of data are mixed and mingled. Just like a library in the process of being demolished with all the shelves pulled down and the books, and tapes and other information support materials thrown together. We cannot store facts. Our mind decides what is fact and what is fiction. However, we seem to feel urge to label what we have in our mind as reality. Some early humans recognised this and imagined a business model. If we can free the people’s mind from the discomfort of confusion ... and BINGO Politics and religion were born. Freelance shamans were to be replaced with religions structured like any good criminal organisation. Now that the human era of religions seems to be coming to an end we see the last convulsions of Rambo fan clubs. Many of these idiots have been trained over the years by spending countless hours staring at screens and fighting some “enemy”. It is fascinating to see the parallels between religious and military organisations: lots of symbols and a strict hierarchy. Unfortunately, the criticism that has diminished the role of religions has not extended to the executive branch of religions: the killing machines: armies, navies and all the shit.

Troubles because of freethinking and views expression?

PontifexMarximus comments on Aug 30, 2018:

All the time ... The little bourgeoisie thinks firmly that they have to jump to the defence of the prevailing way of thinking. I have been a car user and user of other polluting devices for decades and I am critical about these evil devices despite the advantages they provide. We should be able to be critical about anything. The problem is that very often people stop listening once they heard something that triggered their defensive thinking. I was asked whether I was in favour of "gay" marriage. When I said “no” the answer was swift and I was called a Nazi. I couldn't even place the second part of my answer: "I am opposed to marriage!”

How many of you moved away from your hometown?

PontifexMarximus comments on Aug 28, 2018:

The story of my life is a story departures. In hindsight I realised that I had been born into an explosive shithole without my explicit consent. I often hear or read the term: "native speaker". Well, I wasn't. I couldn't speak, read nor write and as far as i know there was no legal expert alerting me to the consequences of my birth. So I moved and moved; i left the where I was and then the country and then the continent. While I am writing this I realise that I have lived in 5 different countries on 3 different continents and Oceania. I remember my first return to my birthplace after only about 7 years. The building I was born in was gone and i was the.first to be born in it. It hadn't survived 2 decades. Rapid change I thought at the time.

Was becoming atheist difficult?

PontifexMarximus comments on Aug 28, 2018:

I guess for my formerly catholic mother it was. I always had the impression that her agrophobia was the echo of her fears that there might be some divine authority persecuting her. Thunderstorms would just scare the hell out of her. Even my demonstrations, standing outside during a thunderstorm, didn't strip her of her visceral fear.

Wow, we have a 41% compatibility. So, you’re saying there’s a chance? LMAO.

PontifexMarximus comments on Aug 28, 2018:

About seven years ago I met a woman ... and there seemed to be some instant attraction despite lots of incompetibilties. We somehow managed to agree to meet again and we did. There was some more attraction. The next meeting there was even more and she invited me to take a shower and managed to give me instructions as to how to cleanse my penile extension which I followed ... but in the end ... I fucked it up ... longer story. Nonetheless we had another meeting but she fucked that one up. Consequently we deleted each other's contact details. End of story. Perhaps a year later we accidently bumped into each other exchanged a couple of bearhugs and a few symbolic slaps on the cheeks. Another year later perhaps year and a half we accidently bumped into each other again. I left for about 3 years and just a few days after returning I found myself on the same bus with her. Now ... these encounters happened in Guangzhou, China where the population can only be estimated to be approximately that of Australia and a few surrounding islands. She said this is destiny ... I said YES ... It means we don't need to make appointments because we keep bumping into each other. She has many attributes I like: absolutely adorable breasts with nice firm nipples, slender hips, firm buttocks ... lots ... but I think she's a bit of a bitch.

Wow, we have a 41% compatibility. So, you’re saying there’s a chance? LMAO.

Stadt Blankenberg ... Why? I am biased. This was one of the first places I visited on my own. I was a about 10 or 11 and had a new bicycle with 3 gears that allowed me to extend my radius of exploration significantly. This place was elevated to the *rank* of town in 1245. It was stripped of this privilege in 1805. The "Stadt" bit was introduced in 1953 almost 150 years after the place had lost it special privileges.
