Let's keep this relevant, though: <br /><br />I asked how Reisman and her "true story" (ahem) soldier might account for God making the anus an erogenous zone. <br /><br />Your response seems to be that the anus isn't an erogenous zone except to people influenced by pornography.<br /><br />I pointed out that I learned about erogenous zones through sexual experimentation as a youth at a time when pornography was virtually unavailable to me, like most other people over 40.<br /><br />Your response seems to be that I've encountered porn since then so must have been influenced by it, which doesn't actually address the point.<br /><br />The fact that porn has become so ubiquitous in the last 10 years that even I'm familiar with it doesn't alter the fact that people throughout history have figured out where the erogenous zones are through a process of learning by doing. Porn's concentration on those areas is effect, not cause. So what's God telling us with the erogenous zones? Has Reisman expressed a view on it to your knowledge?Psycho Milthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00779500926576047736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38893560.post-72946058825218784912011-11-28T09:07:47.423+13:002011-11-28T09:07:47.423+13:00Fletch,

Because that is the only way you could be completely uninfluenced by it given how the images tend to be seared into the minds of the users.Lucia Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10485990994973953860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38893560.post-16111931591502417152011-11-27T09:03:31.774+13:002011-11-27T09:03:31.774+13:00Good post!
I did a post here a while back as well...Good post!<br /><br />I did a post here a while back as well on a talk by Donald L Hilton on how porn is an actual addiction (no different in the brain from other addictions like drugs etc), and how porn and other addictions can actual damage the frontal lobe of the brain.<br /><br />Below is a snippet - <br /><br /><i>As the desensitization of the reward circuits continues, stronger and stronger stimuli are required to boost the dopamine. In the case of narcotic addiction, the addicted person must increase the amount of the drug to get the same high. In pornography addiction, hard core replaces soft core, and progressively more shocking images are required to stimulate the person. As a feedback of sorts, the frontal lobes also atrophy, or shrink. Think of it as a ‘wearing out of the brake pads.’ This physical and functional decline in the judgment center of the brain causes the person to become impaired in the ability to process consequences of acting out in addiction. Addiction scientists have called this condition hypofrontality, and have noted the similarity in behavior in the addicted to the behavior of patients with frontal brain damage.<br /><br />As neurosurgeons, we frequently treat people with frontal lobe damage. In a car wreck, for instance, even with an airbag the brain decelerates into the back of the forehead inside the skull, bruising the frontal lobes. Patients with frontal lobe damage exhibit a constellation of behaviors we call frontal lobe syndrome.<br /><br />First, they are impulsive, in that they will thoughtlessly engage in activities with little regard as to consequence. Second, they are compulsive. They become fixated or focused on certain objects or behaviors, and have to have it, no matter what. Third, they become emotionally labile, and have sudden and unpredictable mood swings, and fourth, they exhibit impaired judgment.<br /><br />So cortical hypofrontality, or shrinkage of the frontal lobes causes these four behaviors, and can result from a car wreck or from addiction!<br /><br />Lets look at studies examining drug addiction and the effect on frontal lobes. This is a study on cocaine addiction published in 2002,9 and it shows volume loss, or shrinkage, in several areas of the brain, particularly the frontal control areas. What about methamphetamine? This study from 2004 shows very similar results<br /><br />Of course, we expect drugs to damage the brain, so these studies don’t really surprise us. Consider, though, a natural addiction such as overeating leading to obesity. Your might be surprised to know that a study published in 2006 showed shrinkage in the frontal lobes in obesity which was very similar to the cocaine and methamphetamine studies!11 And pertinent to our subject, a study published in 2007 imaging the brains of persons exhibiting severe sexual addiction looked almost identical to the cocaine, methamphetamine, and obesity studies. 12</i><br /><br />I think people knew that porn was addictive, but I was quite shocked to read that these addictions can actually damage the brain.<br /><br />My original post - <br /><br />http://nzconservative.blogspot.com/2011/05/porn-addiction-affects-brain.html<br /><br />The linked PDF is not there anymore, but if someone wants, I will upload it somewhere else.I.M Fletcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02221772173209860714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38893560.post-59411496212929410582011-11-26T23:37:21.867+13:002011-11-26T23:37:21.867+13:00You forget how old I am - when I was young, pornog...You forget how old I am - when I was young, pornography was difficult to come by and remarkably tame by modern standards. The fact the anus is an erogenous zone is something I discovered through sexual activity with a woman, just like untold generations before me. In discussing the iink between that erogenous zone and pornography, Reisman is confusing effect with cause.Psycho Milthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00779500926576047736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38893560.post-90324456420723825512011-11-26T18:34:03.198+13:002011-11-26T18:34:03.198+13:00I think my post accounts for it, PM.

For example, the arch of my foot, my eyelids and the bit where the fingernail joins my finger are extremely sensitive but lack all sexual interest.

Your example is the opposite of that, but it can be seen that something which is made for one reason can also be used for an entirely wrong purpose because it happens to contain wood in the violin's case, and sensitivity in your example.Lucia Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10485990994973953860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38893560.post-57883227515396347022011-11-26T15:55:13.058+13:002011-11-26T15:55:13.058+13:00The anal fixation of the left....
