Social Science - 23 January 2007

I'm a sexual abuse survivor, and I'm in a very loving, committed relationship with someone I adore, and I know he adores me back. I've never been able to orgasm with any partner I've been with, and I would like to break that pattern with my partner, since we will most likely get married.

Can anyone recommend me any material, whether it be books, mental exercises, etc., that can help me break this cycle? Or a link to a website perhaps?

Thanks!

If I could do it again I would go back to 9th grade and do it all over again from that point. How far would you go?

I was wondering if you can be passive aggressive but friendly? you are nice and you are full of spirit type of thing but when something bad happens to you, you get your revenge? it kind of contradicts itself? does this make sense?

Yea I have been posting about this dream I keep having where I fall pregnant at 16 by this guy that I have a bad history with. Spread nasty rumours and what not. Recently he has apologized but I don't think I have completely forgiven him. I just woke up and in addition to the pregnancy.... there was a part that was added. I go through the entire pregnancy dream telling people that I am carrying his child and watching their shocked reactions as well as me being hysterical although he himself is never in that part of the dream. The second part is us in church. I play the flute and he the piano. We had a concert. As I was walking down the aisle I accidentally touched him and he grabbed my hand and pulled me back to him and slapped me HARD... like really HARD. Then he started mocking me about the rumours he spread before. I don't think I was pregnant in that part of the dream though. I have no idea what's going on....

You are in an automobile accident. It's your fault. You are uninjured but the person in the other car has a severe life threatening injury. The only way the other person can live is if you give them one of your kidneys. Would you give one of your kidneys to a complete stranger?

Why we always get bored after some from a new stuff which we waited for so long? then we start looking for some other thing? We are running after what thing/juice/component which gets lost after having that object of desire? Does this is a trick of mind to keep us involved in unending running bussiness?

you know you got these video cameras all over the place yeah? Ok so some people have got hold of the tapes and put em together to make a show and made shed loads of money.

a better scheme would be if a dr like a psychiatrist tape recorded or video in secret the patients talking in thereapy and then put it together on a DVD and sell it - what you think about this folks?

I was at my Aunt & Uncle's house for a family party. Some of the neighborhood kids approach the house to ask me if I'd like to go have some fun. I hesitate, but eventually go along with them. They take me several blocks away from the house to this dirty pond with lots of kids there. They are all wearing nothing but swimtrunks, and proceed to jump backwards into the water. I jump in the same way and the current sucks us down into a whole maze of pipes, leading us through several other little ponds, and eventually to a large swimming pool that is so filthy it resembles a sewer plant of some sort. There I run into two old high school classmates. Most of the people are vomitting from the nastiness of the water, including one of my old friends. We then get into this escalater-type stairwell to be brought back to the surface where most would do this all over again. I try to run home, but get lost. I soon realize that I am in the subdivision behind my old school, not even the same town. Wow!

I consider myself an intellectual individual and would like to discover more things about my mind. It is possible that I know very limited things about my mind and using only them. I want to discover every limit that my mind has, so I have more mental things to begin with.

I like to enjoy the life more with this discoveries.

Prejudgement is done instantaneously on everything that our eyes lay upon, everything we hear, smell or touch. We judge people's skin colour, facial symmetry, hair colour, attitude etc. It is an instinctual defense mechanism but in certain cases it's limiting our perspective. What is your best advice in managing the amount of prejudice within relationships? Thank you for your answers.

Why is legal to breed?
Child abuse is known as pedophilia, and yet people continue to breed.
having checked the definition of pedophilia I am not claiming parents are sexually attracted to their children, however it is most definatley not right to cause extra suffering, and the most popular legal technique seems to be breeding.

The children then have to struggle with the complete and utter shitness of reality, and IT DOESN'T GET ANY EASIER.
