SINGLES or COUPLES welcome!
Topics discussed and experiential activities will teach you:
- Sex and the Single Brain: The New Blueprint for Couples and Coupling

What does it mean?... cephalic sex
ReplyDeleteHi Anonymous,
ReplyDeleteConventionally, sex has had a genital focus; pleasure and reproduction. The icon is the phallus.
Neuroscience now reveals that the purpose of sex is to get our brain circuitry changed. This is a focus on the cephallus (brain). It seems that the satisfaction we seek is not so much the pleasure of the orgasm, as much as it is the STABILITY of mutated neural pathways.
Science fiction? Or science fact?
Drop your anonymity and come find out! We would love to see you.

There could clearly be more than one reason for sex to have evolved. First, obviously, is reproduction coupled with pleasure. The other explanation is plausible.
ReplyDeleteWhy should reproduction be first? That's just our social conditioning, our paradigm. As for pleasure, that is evolution's reward for doing something right. For example, stretching is very important, and is pleasurable.
ReplyDeleteRemember Edward Wilson has this to say about sex in 'On Human Nature':
"Its complexity and ambiguity are due to the fact that sex is not primarily for reproduction. Evolution has devised much more efficient ways for creatures to multiply . . . Sex by itself lends no straightforward Darwinian advantage."
And Tycho Brahe. He devised a map of the heavens that worked mathematically, preserved medieval social conditioning (when Copernicus's map destroyed it) but was wrong: it had the sun going round the Earth with the other planets going round the sun!!
My dear chap, what you are struggling with is called paradigm paralysis!!
You can have all the pleasure you want. But without the reproduction of how its done for our species, you, and that idea, are done for.
ReplyDeleteCall me crazy, call me wrong, but without the repro-ductive efforts of your parents, regardless of how much pleasure they had trying, you, and your idea that the reproductive part is not the most important part, would not be writing those words to the contrary.
Seems to me your focus is still on the old paradigm; pleasure and reproduction.
ReplyDeleteOf course I wouldn't be here if not for the OCCASIONAL reproductive activity of my parents; three times in a 60 year partnership. What's that got to do with anything? These are the sort of arguments that were brought up to support the flat Earth theory against Galileo!!
What neuroscience tells us is that the rest of the time they enjoyed a neural stability that was cemented by their sexual activity. That is why it (thier sexual activity) happened more than 3 times in 60 years.
For THEM, the neural stabilty was important. For my existence the reproductive side-effect (and that's all it is, a side-effect) was more important. So?

Cut that back to two, excluding the one that produced you, and then try to write the words above. Can't do it, can you. That's because you wouldn't exist.

Talk about yer apples-and-oranges-atosis...

That sexual sublimity was added in to help them put up with their noxious offspring.
> For THEM, the neural stabilty was important. For my existence the reproductive side-effect (and that's all it is, a side-effect) was more important. So?
Too bad a cure for that side effect didn't come along years ago. That way we wouldn't have to put up with some of the half-baked ideas about sexuality that have come down the pike over the years.
So what's the relevance of this to the fact that in a relationship where both partners face up to their fears of intimacy the outcome is that their brain circuitry is changed? Some neural pathways are deleted and replaced by those of the other.

Besides whatever else we may be, we are also piles of meat. Meat is maleable. Meat is influenced by temperature, pressure, humidity, immersion in water, immersion in anything other than the appropriate combination of air molecules--everthing can influence meat. Meeting other meat influences our meat. The exchange of fluids between piles of meat influences meat.
ReplyDeleteAnd on and on it goes...
