Perhaps what you all are really discussing is a thing called trade craft?
 Quoting: Facts>feelings


Perhaps.

If I told you I needed to pound some rings on the mandrel with the ball-peen, would you understand?
 Quoting: Seer777


Yeah, I mean my mind went to sex 1dunno1

But sure I do. What kind of material are trying to shape?
 Quoting: Facts>feelings 66905125


Exactly. I said the same to another back in May and they laughed and said, God you are magnificent at NLP.

I said, What is that?

As I meant exactly what I said. Copper, bronze, and sterling silver rings.
 Quoting: Seer777


Right. I get that a lot too. Ppl over analyzing, or rather showing their mindset. Or both. What's fun is when shop talk and a secondary vein unrelated to the original subject develops spontaneously and everyone involved can discuss both topics at once accurately without letting on or corrupting the data to either subject.

Well, a lot like sexual innuendo can be used I suppose

Or ignorance.

I remember those times. Few and far between without disruption.


I often wonder about sexual energy. It seemingly drives the whole damned thing.


Why does 'God' call his faithful to be abstinent?

What is IT about Sexual Energy?

It just about 'drives' the whole damn thing...

Religion called for its highest 'authority' to remain sexually abstinent.

From a physiological standpoint nothing good. The energy will manifest. Period. Eventually. Likely after many warped and dark changes to its natural state.

Looking at you religion. :eyesonyou:

It's practiced for multiple reasons but the one I think you are after is that we deny our nature and think it is dirty. And for those with no or poor impulse control I suppose it may be.

So we deny our nature and call it God to exalt it into a virtue. Because abstinence makes ppl feel dirty too. They'll just never admit it.

Alice needs to send a message to Bob without Eve overhearing. Unfortunately for Alice, she can't simply meet with Bob in private to discuss it, and sending a private message is either physically impossible or would arouse too many suspicions. The solution? Send a message to everyone, but encode, encrypt, or word it in a way that only Bob will understand the message. Alice might disguise the message in such a way that Eve will think it's an relatively innocent item, such as an advertisement, worded so that everyone but Bob will misinterpret the meaning, or simply make the message so hard to decode that only Bob could do it.

Maybe it just comes down to denying impulse for what is perceived to be greater than self, run rampant.

Well historically speaking many religious practices extolled the separation of man from the desires that were viewed as binding him to temptation. And in patriarchal society you can imagine the amount of temptation that the desire of the female body produced. I can imagine that overcoming one of our most primal yearnings could easily be perceived as a holy accomplishment. and again in a patriarchal society this also applies towards reducing the power that the female had over men

Seems pretty clear to me.

Denying/suppressing our nature = of god/holy = religion.

Instead of exploring and understanding the reasoning behind our nature = of god/holy = true enlightenment/peace.

Just to imagine and live IT, through the confessors. Mindfuck indeed.
