Anais Nin, erotic story teller.
Excerpt of Artists and Models story
"The wife of one of the modern painters was anymphomaniac. She was tubercular, I believe. She had a chalk-white face, burn- ing black eyes deeply sunk in her face, with eyelids painted green. She had a voluptuous figure, which she covered very sleekly in black satin. Her waist was small in proportion to the rest of her body. Around her waist she wore a huge Greek silver belt, about sixi nches wide,studded with stones. This belt was fascinating. It was like the belt of a slave. One felt that deep down she was a slave—to her sexual hunger. One felt that all one had to do was to grip the belt and open it for her to fall into one's arms. It was very much like the chastity belt they showed in the Musée Cluny, which the crusaders were said to have put on their wives, a very wide silver belt with a hangingappendage that covered the sex and locked it up for the duration of their crusades. Someone told me the delightful story of a crusader who had put a chastity belt on his wife and left the key in care of his best friend in case of his death. He had barely ridden away a few miles when he saw his friend riding furiously after him, calling out: 'You gave me the wrong key!'

Japanese rope bondage art Shibari
Eastern bondage by contrast is focused on being sensual art, both people
involved in the bondage are partners in making the art come into being. Eastern
bondage is generally done with shorter and thinner lengths of rope made of
natural materials, such as hemp or jute. Eastern bondage is a journey for the
participants, similar in nature to meditation.
Eastern rope bondage is actually a recent development, while based on
far more ancient traditions, the actual sensual art form dates from the late
1800’s to early 1900’s. The ancient form has several names, most call it
hojo-jutsu, but some also call it torinawa-jutsu, both are technically correct
depending on the pronunciations used.
Hojo-jutsu is a part of Bugei Juhappan which is the 18 bushi (samurai)
skills. Hojo-jutsu deals with capturing and restraining suspects and criminals.
It has it’s origins in ancient Japan in the Tokugawa Shogunate and later
refined further during the Edo period.

,,,and everything you call yours
“I will go directly to her home, ring the bell, and walk in. Here I am, take me-or stab me to death. Stab the heart, stab the brains, stab the lungs, the kidneys, the viscera, the eyes, the ears. If only one organ be left alive you are doomed-doomed to be mine, forever, in this world and the next and all the worlds to come. I'm a desperado of love, a scalper, a slayer. I'm insatiable. I eat hair, dirty wax, dry blood clots, anything and everything you call yours. Show me your father, with his kites, his race horses, his free passes for the opera: I will eat them all, swallow them alive. Where is the chair you sit in, where is your favorite comb, your toothbrush, your nail file? Trot them out that I may devour them at one gulp. You have a sister more beautiful than yourself, you say. Show her to me-I want to lick the flesh from her bones.”

The beautiful is a carnal attraction
"The beautiful is a carnal attraction which keeps us at a distance and implies a renunciation. This includes the renunciation of that which is most deep seated, the imagination. We want to eat all the other objects of desire. The beautiful is that which we desire without wishing to eat it. We desire that it should be." Simone Weil

"Where Are We Now?", the first single from David Bowie's 24th studio album
David Bowie back with a new single and video
“The Next Day”: David Bowie's new album
The review by The Independent here
First Lady of the United States appeared in Iranian news agency images with the shoulders and neck covered.
Iranian state media has run altered images of first lady Michelle Obama’s Oscars appearance, making her gown look less revealing. The first lady wore a sleeveless, scoop neck gown. The semi-official Fars news agency ran an altered photo that covered her shoulders and neckline with added material. State TV showed images that blurred the parts of her body that were exposed. Under Iran’s Islamic dress code, women are required to cover their bodies in public. Films showing foreign women without a headscarf are considered acceptable, but revealing clothes are forbidden.

WHAT IS MONEY?
...
...
F. That is to say, to impoverish them. The first conclusion, then, to which you would arrive would be this,—a nation can only gain when another loses.
B. This axiom has the authority of Bacon and Montaigne.
F. It is not the less sorrowful for that, for it implies—that progress is impossible. Two nations, no more than two men, cannot prosper side by side.
B. It would seem that such is the result of this principle.
F. And as all men are ambitious to enrich themselves, it follows that all are desirous, according to a law of Providence, of ruining their fellow-creatures.
B. This is not Christianity, but it is political economy.
F. Such a doctrine is detestable. But, to continue, I have made you an absolute king. You must not be satisfied with reasoning, you must act. There is no limit to your power. How would you treat this doctrine—wealth is money?
B. It would be my endeavor to increase, incessantly, among my people the quantity of money.
F. But there are no mines in your kingdom. How would you set about it? What would you do?
B. I should do nothing: I should merely forbid, on pain of death, that a single dollar should leave the country.
F. And if your people should happen to be hungry as well as rich?
B. Never mind. In the system we are discussing, to allow them to export dollars, would be to allow them to impoverish themselves.
F. So that, by your own confession, you would force them to act upon a principle equally opposite to that upon which you would yourself act under similar circumstances. Why so?
B. Just because my own hunger touches me, and the hunger of a nation does not touch legislators.
F. Well, I can tell you that your plan would fail, and that no superintendence would be sufficiently vigilant, when the people were hungry, to prevent the dollars from going out and the grain from coming in.
B. If so, this plan, whether erroneous or not, would effect nothing; it would do neither good nor harm, and therefore requires no further consideration.
F. You forget that you are a legislator. A legislator must not be disheartened at trifles, when he is making experiments on others. The first measure not having succeeded, you ought to take some other means of attaining your end.
B. What end?Read all dialogue here

What about the female ejaculation?
The debate in the current literature focuses on three
threads: the existence of female ejaculation, its source(s) and composition,
and its relationship to theories of female sexuality.This debate has been
influenced by popular culture, pornography, and physio-chemical and behavioral
studies. There is some resistance from feminists to what has been perceived as
a male lens in interpreting the data and construct. Often the debate is also
tied to the existence of the G-spot stimulation of the anterior
vaginal wall involves simultaneous stimulation of the para-urethral tissue, the
site of the Skene's glands and ducts and presumed source of the
ejaculated fluid, and therefore it has been variously stated that stimulation
of this spot results in ejaculation. These tissues, surrounding the distal
urethra, and anterior to the vagina, have a common embryological origin to the
prostatic tissue in the male.
…
The discussion entered popular culture in 1982 with the
publication of the best-selling book The G Spot and Other Recent
Discoveries About Human Sexuality, by Ladas, Whipple, and Perry. The
book discussed female ejaculation and brought the issue back into discussions
of women's sexuality both in the medical community and among the general
public. This was a popular account of three papers by the authors, the previous
year, at the suggestion of Alice Khan Ladas. Rebecca Chalker notes that this
book was largely met with scorn, skepticism and disbelief.[11]The
chapter on 'Female Ejaculation' is largely based on anecdotal testimony, and
illustrates another issue in the debate, the weight placed on anecdotes and
small numbers of observations rather than biomedical investigation or clinical
trials. Importantly, a number of the women stated that they had been diagnosed
with urinary incontinence. The book advances another feminist theory: that
because women's pleasure in their sexuality has been historically excluded, the
pleasure of ejaculation has been either discounted or appropriated by health
professionals as a physiological phenomenon. Whipple continued to publicise her
discoveries, including a 9 min video made in 1981 Orgasmic Expulsions
of Fluid in the Sexually Stimulated Female. In 1984, the Journal
of Sex Research described the debate surrounding female ejaculation as
'heated'. Josephine Sevely then followed up her 1978 study by publishing
"Eve's Secrets: A new theory of female sexuality" in 1987,
emphasising an integrated rather than fragmented approach to understanding female
sexuality, with the clitoris, vagina and urethra depicted as a single sexual
organ. This not only challenged the traditional fragmentation of female
sexuality into clitoral vs. vaginal sensation, but also sexualised the urethra.
The continuing debate is further illustrated in the angry exchange of letters
between the author and researchers in the American Journal of
Obstetrics and Gynaecology in 2002 following the publication of 'The
G-spot: A modern gynecological myth' by Terrence Hines. As of 2007, and
2008 the existence of a female prostate and of ejaculation are a matter of
debate, and articles and book chapters continue to appear with subtitles such
as "Fact or Fantasy".

50 Ways to Find Serenity
1. Ask
yourself if you are being too hard on yourself? Are you constantly beating yourself
up over little things? Are you putting too high of expectations on yourself?
2. Find
out what you have in life that you can enjoy at this very moment and be thankful
for it.
3. When
faced with a problem or situation, ask yourself how important it is. Is it life
threatening, or is it something silly and petty?
4.
Trust your instincts! Listen to your gut reaction. It will never steer you
wrong.
5. When
setting goals and/or expectations, ask yourself if they are truly realistic. If
not, you may need to modify or tweak them so they are attainable. If goals are unrealistic,
you’ll find yourself frustrated that you were unable to reach that goal.
6.
Consider all your options when having to make life-altering decisions, or even menial
decisions.
7. Ask
yourself: What can I do about this situation? Will it help or only make matters
worse?
8. Turn
to family members or friends for help. They love you. They are always there to
help you however they are able.
9. Ask
yourself: What about this situation can I actually manage? What can’t I manage?
10.
Adjust your attitude and discover how doing so will help or change the
situation.
11. A
critical question to ask that is helpful in almost any situation is: Do I really
want to do this?
12.
When formulating your plan or goals, decide what needs to be done first.
13. Ask
your friends and family for support and encouragement.
14.
Believe that you know what’s best for you. It’s good to hear what other people have
to say sometimes, but ultimately, you know what will be best for you.
15.
Make sure your thoughts, feelings and actions agree. Check your integrity. If
it seems out of whack, figure out how to change that.
16.
Forgive yourself. Everyone makes mistakes. It’s what we learn from that mistake
that truly makes the difference. If you haven’t forgiven yourself, give
yourself permission to be forgiven and evaluate what that mistake has done to
you and how you will use it to better yourself.
17.
Spoil yourself once in a while. It’s not weird to send yourself a nice card, or
buy a bouquet of flowers for the most important person in your life: You!
18. Now
forgive someone else. If you’ve been hanging on to anger and resentment, you’re
only making yourself upset. It takes up so much energy being mad at someone
(including yourself). Don’t waste precious time or energy hanging on to old
wounds.
19.
Enjoy what you have. Try not to think about what you don’t have, but focus on what
it is you do have. Do you have a special pet who adores you? Do you have good
health? A comfortable home? A good friend who is trustworthy? Take note of the
little things you have. Life isn’t always about the big things.
20.
Speak daily positive self-affirmations. “I am…”
21. Talk
to a friend about what is bothering you. Don’t let it fester.
22.
Call a friend or go out and do something you enjoy.
23.
Pick up the phone and let someone know you’re thinking of him or her.
24. Go
out to lunch, or coffee, or even a walk with a friend.
25.
When you ready to blow: take 3 deep breaths. Hold it for 3 seconds. Exhale slowly.
Do this 2 more times, or until you calm down.
26.
Have fun and go to a movie, concert or play.
27.
Call a friend for some extra support.
28.
Find a quiet place and enjoy a good book.
29.
Ah…it’s nice to indulge with a relaxing massage, manicure or pedicure.
30. Get
connected through a club or organization, or volunteer for a charity you have a
passion for.
31.
Make a list of 10 things you’re tolerating and why.
32.
Read something positive or that you’re interested in at least 30 minutes a day.
33.
Make a list of the things you are grateful for, and then post it on your
refrigerator.
34.
It’s okay to say no. Learn how to say no without feeling guilty.
35.
This is tricky but worthwhile: do absolutely nothing!
36. Sit
still and listen to some enjoyable music with a cup/glass of your favorite beverage.
37.
Rent a movie that will make you laugh.
38. Only
you know if you need to slow down or speed up.
39.
Getting the right amount of sleep is crucial to feeling good. And there’s
nothing wrong with taking a cat nap.
40. Get
up and exercise. Do what feels best for you: walking, dancing, jogging, bike riding,
etc.
41.
Indulge yourself for 30 minutes a day doing something you really love to do!
42.
Purchase something you can afford that you’ve wanted for a long time.
43.
Start a “To Do” list and mark something off each day. You’ll feel a great sense
of accomplishment just by seeing that item crossed off your list.
44.
Find a quiet place to relax and reflect – even if it’s the bathroom. Focus on something
positive.
45. Do
something special for someone and don’t tell them you did it!
46.
Draw or color. Discover what it felt like as a kid to just sit back and create something.
47.
Find time to meditate or pray, either by yourself or with a group.
48.
Never forget what your purpose in life is.
49.
Keep in mind that NO ONE is perfect…including you!
50.
Saying “no” to others means saying “yes” to yourself.

On Beauty and Being Just
What is
the felt experience of cognition at the moment one stands in the presence of a
beautiful boy or flower or bird? It seems to incite, even to require, the act
of replication. Wittgenstein says that when the eye sees something beautiful,
the hand wants to draw it. Beauty brings copies of itself into being. It makes
us draw it, take photographs of it, or describe it to other people. Sometimes
it gives rise to exact replication and other times to resemblances and still
other times to things whose connection to the original site of inspiration is
unrecognizable. A beautiful face drawn by Verrocchio suddenly glides into the perceptual
field of a young boy named Leonardo. The boy copies the face, then copies the
face again. Then again and again and again. He does the same thing when a
beautiful living plant—a violet, a wild rose—glides into his field of vision,
or a living face: he makes a first copy, a second copy, a third, a fourth, a fifth.
He draws it over and over, just as Walter Pater (who tells us all this about
Leonardo) replicates— now in sentences—Leonardo’s acts, so that the essay
reenacts its subject, becoming a sequence of faces: an angel, a Medusa, a woman
and child, a Madonna, John the Baptist, St. Anne, La Gioconda. Before long the
means are found to replicate, thousands of times over, both the sentences and
the faces, so that traces of Pater’s paragraphs and Leonardo’s drawings inhabit
all the pockets of the world (as pieces of them float in the paragraph now
before you).

Lesbians in Japan and South Korea
Lesbians in
Japan and South Korea have long been ignored in both academic, and in social
context. The assumption that there are no lesbians in Japan or South Korea
dominates a large population in these societies, because lesbians do not
identify as such in the public domain. Ins tead they often live double lives
showing one side of themselves to the public and another in private. Although
there exist no formal laws against homosexuality, a social barrier in relation
to coming out to one’s family, friends or co-workers is highly present. Shame,
embarrassment and fear of being rejected as deviant or abnormal makes it
difficult to step outside of the bonds put on by society’s hetero-normative
structures. What is it like to be lesbian in contemporary Japan and South
Korea? In my dissertation I look closely at the Japanese and South Korean
society’s attitudes towards young lesbians, examining their experiences
concerning identity, invisibility, family relations, the question of marriage
and how they see themselves in society. I also touch upon how they meet others
in spite of their invisibility as well as giving some insight to the way they
chose to live their life. Some may choose marriage because it is considered
common sense; others might attempt to stand up to society’s expectations and
chose a different life path. Ironically however, some of the methods used
inadvertently contribute to maintaining their invisibilityn, consolidating the
myth that ‘there are no lesbians in Japan or South Korea’.
