The Culture that has been here all the time

Yes, Readers,

It is all about our minds. Start with how we perceive reality and how we envision our future. I am now what once was considered very old age (especially with respect to sex), and yet aside from some accumulated scars and chronic pesky pain here and there, I don't feel much different from ten, twenty, or even thirty years ago. My libido bump was only a matter of readjusting my anti-depressant medication, so now I have similar arousal and desire that I have had almost all my life. Perhaps at least for the last thirty years. (Chuckle) I can remember believing people over fifty indeed live sexless lives. 

What is important I have discovered? How we think and what we believe. In the end, that is what the quality of our lives becomes. I am Challenged significantly by conflict with desire and conventional commitment, but I ain't dead yet. Somehow, despite tending to live with depression and now with a controlled manic side to my bipolar diagnosis (and still can remain creative, something I hadn't expected), I have discovered profound thoughts about sex and our human nature.

We all seem to require regular sexual activities at all ages, even if modified or lessened by age-related factors. The connection between love and sexual relations is intertwined into our very being. So now I can accept the idea that people in their 80s and 90s want and enjoy sexual activities period (few caveats).

Yes, my wife's severe cognitive disease is an extreme conflict in my life, yet a flicker of optimism lives within me even now. If humans are creative and adaptable (and we are), I still have hope concerning a future for me with meaningful intimacy and even love.

Yes, friends, many things pop: Not only the slang phrase " popped her cherry."¹

^{1The term “pop your cherry” is slang for the breaking of the hymen. The hymen is about a half-inch inside the vagina and can be broken with penetration or even if you're just very active. Some girls are even born without them. This term is also used to describe losing your virginity.}

^{More grains pop besides popcorn: GOOGLED THIS:}

^{Many grains can be popped like corn when exposed to high heat, including:
Sorghum: Similar in size and texture to Israeli couscous, sorghum has a mild flavor and can be popped in small quantities. When cooked and crisped, it has a popcorn-like flavor and can be sprinkled with salt and served on ice cream.
Amaranth: One of the most easily popped grains, amaranth can be popped reliably with minimal burning.
Quinoa: Another grain that's easy to pop and puff.
Barley: Can be popped quickly.
Wild rice: Pops reliably with minimal burning.
Buckwheat: Can be popped like corn.}  
 

Yes, pals, I just wanted my old girlfriend to text me daily. She went back to asking for hundreds of dollars from me in one day and ghosting me over the weekend, the hours I am the most lonely when my wife is in bed. 

I give up on wanting an ordinary woman, even for a texting companion. It is better for me to watch my favorite British TV programs anyway.

No problem? I got sick last evening and needed to sleep early anyway, the same bedtime as my wife, whom I care for.

I'm not quite feeling completely normal this morning, but I see my GP doctor at 2 pm anyway. I am back to $40/hour aides for my wife when I must leave the house.

That gave me something to blog about LOL.

I am so happy! Today, a snail race is scheduled.

You can watch the start, play kinky games with your significant other, and still have time to get back for the finish.

is taking too long to get ripe so I decided to watch wet paint dry for a time.

Call all people,

My life is so exciting I can't take the thrill of watching an avocado ripen.

Yes, Friends, Acquaintances and Strangers,

As a caregiver and having been retired for a while now, one day is like any other, and if it were not for the change in the Seasons and the moon's cycle, I wouldn't notice the differences.

To All,

My German comrades, whom I served with in a NATO air defense unit, would say on this day, "Happy Father's Day, and if you are not a father, this is the day you will get your chance." 

So, may I bring that custom to you? Please pass it on in the spirit of the day. Jim

Hey youze guyze,

I was once a wild and crazy guy had many friends and parties and jammed with my band and everybody was a gud guy to me, Now I are a boring chump who is more  likely to offend than please. Que Sera Sera as they say in Brooklyn.

Blog Readers, A rapid Google survey,

Back in the neolithic days, hair would protect the skin from cuts, grazes, and the Sun kept the body warm, and even worked well as camouflage. Through the years, as humans, we have developed through evolution, and our hair waned in texture, thickness and colour, and there are a number of possible reasons for this.

Why did humans keep pubic hair?
The skin in the area around the genitals is very sensitive. Pubic hair can naturally reduce friction associated with the movements during sexual intercourse and other activities wherein chafing may occur. Pubic hair can also help stop bacteria and other microorganisms from entering the body.

Why do humans have armpit hair?
It reduces friction

What happens if you never shave your pubic hair as a female?
The benefits of not shaving pubic hair are avoiding irritation, cuts, and ingrowns—when you don't shave, you won't get irritated. If you don't shave your pubic hair, nothing happens, but it's important to keep it clean with a daily genital-friendly wash and exfoliant to keep odor at bay.

Roman Empire

Wealthy women and men used razors made from flints, tweezers, creams, and stones to remove excess hair. In fact, even pubic hair was considered uncivilized which is why many famous statues and paintings of Grecian women are depicted hairless.

The Greeks and Egyptians idealized hairless bodies. Shaving and depilation techniques were commonly used. Greek sculptures depict men and women without body hair. This was generally felt to be a result of common infestations of body hair with parasites and the sense that a body without hair was cleaner.

So modern trends aren't that new after all.
