The Culture that has been here all the time

Hello Friends,

Today, I learned about "Hucows." I saw an ad from a kink site where it was referenced, so I looked up all about it. It seems logical and even has health benefits. Human milk is:

"Mature human milk contains 3%--5% fat, 0.8%--0.9% protein, 6.9%--7.2% carbohydrate calculated as lactose, and 0.2% mineral constituents expressed as ash. Its energy content is 60--75 kcal/100 ml." https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/392766/

I wonder how popular Hucaow and human milk really is in the kink world? Image credit: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/392766/

Curious?

Hello Friends,

Young Johnny Boy graduated high school late, so he was in the world, somewhat socially behind his friends because he had been shy in school. Not a standout in anything, not even sports. He got a job in a convenience store and noticed many attractive women stopped in; he was very interested in them but could hardly say anything, but the pay would be $3.89. Here is your change mam. Thank you for shopping with us. One day, Sallie Boober stopped in and conversed with Johnny. He stutters and fumbles with his words but manages to read her note telling him where she works and that he should come at 9 pm to see her there.

That evening, he went there and discovered that it was a GoGo bar. He was looked over by the doorman twice as big as he was and admitted. Music was playing loudly, and Sallie was topless, dancing behind the bar. She waved to him. He went to the bar and bought a beer. The barmaid told him it was customary to give your friend a tip for dancing. He couldn't quite reach her because a big fellow pulled him back and told him to look but not touch. Sally nodded and, after her dance, came out to talk to Johnny. She kissed him on the cheek and told him at 11 pm she would be dancing at the Exotic Palace. He went there and was seated closer to her, but the same thing happened when his hand with a tip lingered too long on her thigh: "Look but don't touch."

This happened at several other places, but he was really aroused and put down again at the "Topless Bottomless Club." This time, He was tossed out on the street and told to run, not walk.

What should Jonny do friends? If you were in Johnny's place what would you do?

Hello Friends,

The truth about me? I am moody. I can withdraw into a shell of misanthrope: not hatred or anger, not shyness, but socially withdrawn and uncomfortable with people in general because of the experiences of my trust being violated and even being taken advantage of and made out to be a fool. The worst situation is when my generosity is taken advantage of, ignored, or trivialized. It takes me a while to trust someone, and now, after a year of being the victim of online scams, I feel even more sensitive and reluctant to extend genuine trust to a person, at least not quickly. I doubt the motives of people and long for deep companionship now that my wife has severe cognitive decline, yet I can not see a way to have a true friend or companion too quickly or too fast.

Worse, I do not socialize like many do: I do not drink or go to bars or concerts where it is too celebratory. I avoid recreational drugs and behavior associated with the drug-influenced culture ( negative experiences in my younger days have a lot to do with that).

The result? I can still be lonely when with other people. I try to be a friend but always seem to fall short and disappoint a potential friend. I haven't become a recluse yet, but the possibility is always not far from my thoughts.

Hello Friends,

I am curious about different attitudes toward relationships. If you care to participate, rank the following aspects from 1 to 10, with 10 being the most important, or place them in order of importance.

A. General compatibility includes religion, wrong and right, healthy living, etc.

B. Arts and Music, including entertainment preferences.

C. Romantic experiences

D. Quality sex

E. Companionship

F. Family-Centric

Hello Friends,

I am glad that my wife with cognitive decline is still with me. Her ability to interact is far from normal complicated by aphasia. With care and patience, we can have a loving relationship, however.

She hugs me, kisses me, and responds to music; we can even dance to an old favorite song. Sometimes, she even can say I love you (with some effort). 

So we are far from what things used to be, but enough of her former self surfaces to encourage me to continue with my caregiving. There isn't a reason to give up on her, though it is hard for me sometimes.

She walks okay, eats well, and is generally in good health otherwise. Her hampered communication ability emphasizes my understanding of her because she can get angry and frustrated and express it like a toddler with mischief. 

Loving her and paying attention to details minimizes the challenging times and keeps her quality of life as good as it can be with the challenges of Alzheimer's/Dementia/Aphasia. 

Hello Friends,

My best friend could not decide whether he preferred a woman with blonde, black, brown, or no hair. He met a woman he liked and had her shave and wax all her hair. Then, he bought wigs of various colors and shades along with theatrical makeup to change her complete body appearance and began to experiment. Ultimately, he chose the hairless option with the wigs and theatrical makeup kit as the permanent solution. 

But then he changed his mind and he selected a bearded woman covered with hair as his permanent mate.

Hello Friends,

Mr. X had some depression to deal with, and there was mild erectile dysfunction at a liveable level. Along with that, there was a tendency to experience premature ejaculation. Things went along like that for a while, but one day, his life took a serious turn, and stresses and depression were accentuated. More meds were prescribed. The net result was erectile dysfunction concerns the common meds worked but with some limitations. The erection time was limited to about thirty minutes, and premature ejaculation was replaced with difficulty reaching orgasm. Why? His doctor told Mr. X it was the anti-depression and anti-anxiety medication. It seems like a true "Catch-22".

Hello Friends,

Exploring variations of human relationships, I discovered a fundamental truth: Natural instinctive emotions remain even in unorthodox and creative relationships. 

OK, Love, joy, pleasure, satisfaction, contentment, and feeling fulfilled are there, but so are the negative emotions.

"Negative emotions can be described as any feeling which causes you to be miserable and sad. These emotions make you dislike yourself and others, and reduce your confidence and self-esteem, and general life satisfaction. Emotions that can become negative are hate, anger, jealousy and sadness."  https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/healthyliving/negative-emotions 

"Terror: Fear, Apprehension
Rage: Anger, Annoyance
Loathing: Disgust, Boredom
Grief: Sadness, Pensiveness"  

"About negative emotions
Negative emotions can be described as any feeling which causes you to be miserable and sad. These emotions make you dislike yourself and others, and reduce your confidence and self-esteem, and general life satisfaction.

Emotions that can become negative are hate, anger, jealousy and sadness. Yet, in the right context, these feelings are completely natural. Negative emotions can dampen our enthusiasm for life, depending on how long we let them affect us and the way we choose to express them.

Holding onto negative emotions causes a downward spiral
Negative emotions stop us from thinking and behaving rationally and seeing situations in their true perspective. When this occurs, we tend to see only what we want to see and remember only what we want to remember. This only prolongs the anger or grief and prevents us from enjoying life. The longer this goes on, the more set the problem becomes.

Dealing with negative emotions inappropriately can also be harmful – for example, expressing anger with violence.

Emotions are complex reactions"  https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/healthyliving/negative-emotions

We all must be on guard when we may fall into negative emotions and have a way to avoid the spiral downward.

Hello Friends,

What if your lover develops a health issue, and the two of you can not have normal sexual relations? The effect may be permanent in fact. How long can you accept this situation before you feel left out or deprived and want to find a new lover, temporary or permanent? Can you abandon your sexual desires permanently if that is what the situation requires?

Hello Friends,

The most expensive coffee beans in the world come out of an animal: The Cevet Cat eats them, partially digests them, and excretes them; they are then collected, processed, and produced into the most expensive coffee in the world.
