Honestly, sex is probably bad for you. But it's like taking a pill; it might wreck your system, but when you're feeling low, you don't really have much of a choice. I’d rather people blow off some steam than sit around whining and making a scene.🙂

Grizzly said:I could just hook you up with a little air compressor so you don't have to spend every single night blowing 😂

Why even bother with all that manual work? What's the point of doing it by hand all day long?

Honestly, I'm not really into the whole doll thing—why deal with all that extra crap? Look, you can't exactly avoid certain things when it comes to women, so you just have to deal with the side effects. But if we're going artificial anyway, let's just get straight to the point and keep it simple.😎

Shumar and the master say:
Does love actually need a target? To me, what most people call love is really just a subtle kind of focus—one basic emotion buried within the massive spectrum of human feelings and how we react to things happening around us.

Personally, I don't think emotions even need an object at all. They just bubble up and fade away on their own, even when there isn't a single thing happening externally to trigger them.

I tend to view love more as this internal "feeling"—something that gently nudges you from deep within...

Maybe other people wouldn't call that "love," either... 🤔

Must be nice to see it that way. That’s actually exactly what I was getting at in my writing. It's why I make such a clear distinction between true love and happiness versus just feeling a subtle sense of focus.

Sex is fundamentally unhealthy.

Now I’m completely lost—what exactly are you trying to defend here?🙂

Why would anyone blow off work? What's the point of skipping out during the day?

It’s about the risk of getting caught red-handed...

You wouldn't believe it, but I once spotted a used duck at a flea market in a small town outside Austin.😂

The thing was completely bald.😂

It seems to me that emotions don't even require an object. They arise and shift internally, even when there isn't any external stimulus to trigger them.

An opinion is simply the act of assigning specific meaning and objects to those raw emotions.

Shumar and Dragonfly say:
Must be nice if that's how you see it. My point was actually heading in that same direction. That's exactly why I make a distinction between true love and happiness versus just having a subtle sense of focus.

People are way too fixated on external things. I can't tell you how many times I've caught myself feeling an emotion and immediately hunting for something—an object, a person, even just a thought—to pin it on, almost like I need to "attach" it to something real to make it valid.

People go about pinning their happiness onto material things, or trying to anchor their love to some tangible object, but both of those pursuits are ultimately hollow without an actual subject to hold them.🙏 😎 😎

I'm having a little trouble wrapping my head around what this sentence actually means... 🤔
Are you trying to say that we use our thoughts to attach specific meanings to our feelings and then project them onto things? If so, I'm totally on board with that. 🙂

Unshaven, uncombed, a total mess, and a fashion sense that could be described as disastrous.🙂

I don't really know this crowd here, but Karen Sanchez19 was trying to say that opinions are basically just emotions dressed up in the clothes of meaning and objects, or something like that 🤔

But clothing isn't "just" something you wear, man. Clothing creates the emotion. 😎

I can't quite wrap my head around the logic of this sentence...
Are you suggesting we assign specific meanings to our emotions through thought, effectively projecting them onto external objects? If that’s the angle, I'm on board.

Honestly, I haven't the slightest clue myself.

Words spoken, words retracted.

Everything exists in its own right, constantly shifting and in perpetual motion. 🙂

clothing dictates emotion

I honestly don't get you🙄

The idea that naked people lack all emotion is just absurd.🙄 🙂

But the clothes aren't "just" there, man—the clothes actually create the emotion. 😎

I think you totally missed his point. To really get what Karen Sanchez19 is writing, you've gotta lean way more into your intuition. 😂

People tend to pin their happiness and their love onto external things, but both exist entirely independent of any object.

I suppose I didn't phrase that perfectly, but I trust you all catch my drift.

Plus, you need a ton of practice to get it. 😁
