Under the influence

"So, how does this apply to sex? Well, remember how we talked about cultural influences on sex? You can be born with a naturally high libido that gets dampened by a strict religious upbringing. Or, you may be born with a lower libido that is encouraged in a household that has a positive attitude toward sex"

This quote had me thinking about A lot when i saw it. I saw an obvious point after i was finished. What this quote means is that you can either have the drive for something and its restricted due to your environment OR you can have almost no ardor for something but then the environment causes you to alter your "level" of the ability to use that thing to a greater extent. I know I talked about attributes earlier in this post and this relates to it completely.

A slight alteration

The thing is though,sometimes our need or libido" for sexual intercourse is so strong that if one environment does not permit us to do it. We then simply look for another environment. This also goes for the people that do not want to have sex. This does not just happen with sex,but with all types of events. When we want something and if we want it really bad, we will do whatever it is to get it and that is just it.

Teen sex

THIS is why we have so many teens having sex these days and getting pregnant. Parents home AKA the environment did not allow for it to happen so they simply venture out elsewhere to find sex. School can be one of these environments, as a matter of fact; school can be a medium for so many different types of things that kids want to do. It is very hard to keep control over this kind of thing.

Back to levels

Again!! This relates to our degrees of significant principles and morals. If some of these facets outweigh others....then this could also work instead of everybody being on a equal base. Lets take teen sex for example. If a teen has the trait of being overly obedient. He or she is very astute and never breaks a rule. Now this same teen has a very high sex addiction. Now depending on which quality is more dominant. He or she will act according to that and nature will take its course. What we have to learn to do is push those negative traits to the pit of our stomach and shine those positive traits more often and maybe something will change in the world.

"Their data demonstrated that male vervet monkeys showed significantly greater interest in the masculine toys, and the female vervet monkeys showed significantly greater interest in the feminine toys"

Well this did not make me think that much. I always figured that animalistic behavior was in some respects the same as human behavior. There is not much difference. We be have like animals ourselves...and thats an understatement. I got this quote from an article that was talking about why boys play with different types of toys then girls. Now i read the whole article and they have not come up with a reason yet but i thought about my own reasoning and came up with a conclusion.

I would think that boys were always supposed to be the leaders or the ones to do all the dirty work while the female stands behind and is the emotional medium of support amongst other means of help. We have adapted this for so long that we have...the resulting action. This is pretty obvious. For a very long time,we have seen the typical lady break down and cry or stand behind the man if something frightens them. Things are changing drastically in this day and age. Anyways, why should this be any different for kids? Girls play with girly items and boys do the same. A male is a male and a female is a female. Would you like a definition?

@coolie13,
I see that someone knows what they are talking about. yes whatever is dominant will take over, and the person behaves according to that. this is also written in specific detail in the book that I will mention. also it mentions it in more detail why that is true. As in it goes into details of the mind. by the way I am glad to see a person of intelligence speaking (meaning yourself)

I used to be addicted to porn, until I read the book

OPEN TO BLISS by Omid Mankoo - his blog http://sagehope.wordpress.com

Now, I simply cannot be seduced. I have control over my thoughts, and the thoughts don't keep going and going.
I learned why the porn messages are so powerful, why they make an impression on the mind, how my mind works, and how to disolve the influences of porn from my mind, freeing my mind from their influences. it takes work. internal work, meaning you learn to be conscious of your thoughts and to master them. the tools and insights in the book are just fantastic, in addition they are concise, meaning with a little reading you get a lot of information. also since the author is a superb teacher he walks you through the problem and the solutions in such elementary detail that you might easily underestimate the potency of his lessons. so if you get a hold of the book try not to underestimate the simplicity of what he is talking about, because it got me out of sexual addiction totally.
