The Culture that has been here all the time

Hello Friends,

I do not know anyone who doesn't like roses, but I also enjoy the smell of sweet roses: spearmint, roasting coffee, fresh bread baking, honeysuckle, and hyacinths. In spices, I love ginger (it is my all-time favorite) and freshly ground black and white pepper. I also love caraway seeds, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, celery seeds, cumin, and vanilla.  Many fruits are tantalizing. While many people do not think about it, men and women smell differently. Remove the bacteria fermenting, and you may discover something that will surprise you: You love the smell of your lover (it may even be subconscious).

Most of us know our pets have fragrances (or odors), and I had two Manchester Terries that I recognized by their scent (how do you like that, my K9 buddies?); the scent on each was distinct and pleasing. Scents are also learned, like cheeses, beverages, and foods.

We tend to remove or mask our natural scents in the modern world, destroying the "chemistry" we seek. I tell my lovers not to use scented soap, do not use cologne or perfume bath simply, and I'll do the same and let's see what happens.  Of course, we all have odors from various parts of our bodies sometimes, but this is not what I am referring to. Smells of love.¹

Does female arousal have a smell?
Taken together, the current findings are among the first to show that that women's sexual arousal led to the release of a distinctive scent that increases men's sexual motivation.

What does the scent of a woman do to a man?
Summary: Men evaluated the scent of sexually aroused women as more attractive and expressed an increase in their sexual motivations. Findings suggest the chemical signal of scent alone can elicit a sexual response in men.

Can guys smell when a girl is ovulating?
Human males also detect the high-fertility (ovulatory) period in women by bodily odour [4], which may act as a form of sexual stimulant for men [5, 6].

^{OK, men, you, too, have scents that can attract a woman.2}

^{Androstenol is the scent produced by fresh male sweat, and is attractive to females. Androstenone is produced by male sweat after exposure to oxygen – i.e. when less fresh – and is perceived as highly unpleasant by females (except during ovulation, when their responses change from 'negative' to 'neutral').}

^{Why does my boyfriend have a specific smell? 3
Each individual possesses a unique combination of genetic markers that contribute to their natural scent. This personalised fragrance becomes intertwined with memories and emotions, creating a distinct olfactory identity.Dec 6, 2023}

^{People also ask}

^{What scent is the most seductive?
Aphrodisiac scents include pumpkin, lavender, vanilla, cinnamon, peppermint, ambrette, ylang-ylang, ginger, and more. Despite some skepticism around the use of aphrodisiacs, studies show that many of these aromas do work — they can be easily incorporated into anyone's fragrance routine.Mar 1, 2023}

Hello Friends,

I believe in Parallel Universes. As a physics major graduate offered a full scholarship to Princeton University (turned it down) in Astro Physics, I find that the ideas and theories in cosmology are nothing new. The theory of a "Multiverse"¹ is personal for me because the theory hasn't been proven yet, and I am sold on the idea. No, though I love good science fiction, this is not what I am talking about. 

In the fictional versions, numerous permutations play with this concept: 1, Jumping from one universe to another, 2, two or more universes colliding, and 3, visitors from another (or alternate) universe. You may be familiar with these popular TV series, two of my favorites: 2 Sliders and Fringe.

It is my personal experiences that convinced me. I am walking down the familiar street, and suddenly, I blink, and it is just a little different. I am driving my car, and it seems inevitable I am about to be involved in a severe auto accident. I blink my eyes, and I discover I am continuing unscathed. Typical episodes of De Ja Vu or people claiming to know me whom I believe I never met. There are many "Y" sections in life's path: go right or left, and that is the question. I try to take the route that has been taken less. See: The Road Less Traveled,[7] published in 1978, is Peck's best-known work.³ The Road Not Taken  BY ROBERT FROST.

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

 

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

 

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

 

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.

Hello Friends,

We know visual stimulation is powerful; the sight of a woman lying on her stomach with her ass propped up a little is a powerful arousing image for me, shaved pussy or not. I am drawn to that image, and if I stare too long, fantasies begin to dominate my mind. Exploring the entire woman visually is so inviting I am almost unable to think of anything else. I start to create a plan of how I will examine her loveliness, sometimes with spontaneity methodically, with Variations in the appearance of pussies and nipples having various effects on me. It is time to feel.

Now, the map in my mind is drawn, and I plan my touch strategy: light touches and light strokes to massage like exploration with my hands. Then I begin to taste her, kiss and lick, and she gives signs of encouragement whenever I hit the right spot. A moan, heavier breathing, maybe a yell. And all the while, she is exploring me.

Occasionally, we pause and focus or let our partner focus on the delivery of pleasure. The whole process can be repeated throughout the entire time we are together. Maybe a rest in between when it starts all over again.

I conclude that sight and touch are essential, and how you perceive and use them determines how long a love-making session lasts.

Or, how long you want it to last.

Hello Friends,

Now that I am older and less able to engage in life as I once did, memories often fill my days. Circumstances have left me with most of my friends and relatives no longer "with us." So what do we, older people who prefer not to watch TV reruns and old movies all day or feel nostalgic all the time? I would instead still engage in life for real, but that seems to be a challenge for me now.

Imagination, dreams, and fantasies can go a long way for me these days. I can imagine what I used to do or would do if given the chance. On the more exotic side, I can be creative with my imaginings to the point that they become pure fantasy. The best internal experience comes in dreams, especially if I am fortunate to have lucid dreams. 

In dreams, I can be as I was when I was young and athletic, able to accomplish things that are a bit of a challenge for an old man. I can do things beyond possible, like fly around and travel the earth at will to unique places (better than with virtual reality goggles).

So, I am off on another adventure as my day permits when I am not "minding the farm."

Hello Friends,

How lovers approach one another can significantly affect how and to what degree arousal occurs. The timing of eye contact moments can make or break the rate and degree of passion. During oral sex, I have read that some givers enjoy watching the receiver as they work their magic and put every ounce of energy into giving pleasure. They become highly aroused as this proceeds.

A lover pointed out to me many years ago that I enjoyed seeing her as I aroused more and more, and I didn't realize until she correctly labeled my giving her oral sex as the trigger for my becoming very aroused. Likewise, she reciprocated, but her giving me oral sex was more like her being wholly focused on my penis, like it was the only part of my body she was making love to.

In our case, we learned to prepare for copulating and timing our climax at the exact moment at least 90% of the time. Successful foreplay? Derived from knowing what we liked and what we responded to best.

Communication and observation. Also, it would be best if you cared enough about your lover to keep them in mind.

Hello Friends,

The last erogenous zone many of us explore is the anus and the area around it. There are legitimate concerns but several ways to minimize the risk of spreading urinary infecting bacteria and, in some cases, STDs like HIV. The viral aspect is best approached by testing and treating so it isn't contagious. A UTI is not a STD. We all have bacteria in our bodies, and spreading them to our urinary tracts or our lover's urinary tract routine hygiene is a good defense. A healthy (especially young) body can defeat a urinary tract infection independently, but why risk it if simple preparation substantially eliminates or reduces the threat?

Now, there are plenty of guides online to help you. Numerous sources have made several points. I will quote later and provide links. The Anus does not store feces. Simple cleansing with a mild soap will remove residue in and around the Anus. Yet activity in and around the Anus may produce some feces even if you take great care to wash up: accept that as a real possibility.

This applies to Condoms, gloves, and sex toys, too. Keep toilet wipes handy, just in case. Avoid complex products and anything rough that can damage the surface of the internal or external skin.

If you are planning Anul penetration with a penis or large toy, it would be helpful to use an Anul plug to loosen the opening to make things easier and more comfortable. Use a lube. Now, here are some links to gain more details.

Hello Friends,

I have been interested in dreams² periodically for years, read books, kept a diary, and sought ways to stimulate and remember dreams. Mugwot, an herb used for many ailments, is also known for its influence on dreams.

Mugwort¹ is a perennial plant that is native to Europe and parts of Asia and Africa. It now grows in many parts of the world, including North America. Historically, mugwort has been used in traditional systems of medicine in different parts of the world.

Mugwort | NCCIH National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (.gov) › Health Informa

Other common things that help produce dreams: There are many foods and supplements that claim to promote dreams or help to remember dreams. I settled on just a few: Melatonin, Vitamin B6, and Mugwort tea, but it is so bitter I mix it with peppermint, tea. I am trying (new to me) tea: Traditional Medicinal Nighty Night, Organic Tea (Commercial brand).

 a search with Google will direct you to many articles and books on dreaming and dreams, and that is excellent because what may work for me may not work for you. My goal is to achieve LUCID dreams but that is a challenge and I have only succeeded on  rare occasions I am not sure if any tea or supplement helped or it was a random event.

Happy Dreaming, Sweet Dreams

Hello Friends, Happy ST Patricks Day

It may seem academic, but I asked myself, what are the reasons I want to make love to a woman?

1. I Lust for her

2. I like her

3. She is pleasant to me

4. She entices me

5. She likes me

6. I want to express love

7. I am wild with being horney

All these reasons can be controlled. Yes, even being "horney" can be controlled if necessary.

What is missing? We want to have a family.

Hello Friends,

I have read in some of the blogs here that the writer feels they do not belong . . . .

I have, throughout my life, struggled with being different, often withdrawn and self-isolating. I have also been troubled by the world's flaws: war, famine, disasters, diseases, etc. My favorite artist is Vincent van Goh. The movie Lust for Life was made from the essence of Irving Stone's historical novel. 

In the Song by Don McLean Vincent, there is one set of lyrics that haunted me for a long time:

" . . . Vincent, This world was never meant for one
As beautiful as you . . ."

I went through an artistic period imitating Vincent Van Goh, and I felt those lyrics as if they applied to me. I have had a lifelong struggle with clinical depression, but finally, after many years, I was diagnosed with a bipolar condition; counseling, Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) 1 , and medication have brought me closer to a better balance. I can still be withdrawn at times and overly sensitive, but the good news is after I adjusted to all the therapy, I regained my creative spark. I had feared quelling my emotional challenges would also harm my creativity.

It turns out I am resilient and able to adapt and still retain my empathy and inspiration to express it.  My high school creative writing teacher was the first adult to recognize my sensibility; he told me I was experiencing sadness for the world. Weltschmerz ²
 

1. Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) is a type of psychotherapy. It may help you change unhelpful or unhealthy ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving. CBT uses practical self-help strategies designed to immediately improve your quality of life. CBT can be an effective way to treat depression and anxiety.

2 weltschmerz \VELT-shmairts\ noun. 1 often capitalized Weltschmerz : mental depression or apathy caused by comparison of the actual state of the world with an ideal state. 2 often capitalized Weltschmerz : a mood of sentimental sadness.

Did I hear some of you ask what is Retrograde Ejaculation?

I am glad you asked. 

Retrograde ejaculation occurs when semen enters the bladder instead of emerging through the penis during orgasm. Although you still reach sexual climax, you might ejaculate very little or no semen. This is sometimes called a dry orgasm.

Retrograde ejaculation isn't harmful, but it can cause male infertility. Treatment for retrograde ejaculation is generally only needed to restore fertility.  . . . Retrograde ejaculation typically doesn't require treatment unless it interferes with fertility. In such cases, treatment depends on the underlying cause.   Mayo Clinic

Who gets retrograde Ejaculation? 

People also ask
Older age — as men age, it's normal for ejaculation to take longer. Psychological conditions, such as depression or anxiety. Medical conditions, such as diabetes or multiple sclerosis. Specific medical treatments, such as prostate surgery.May 18, 2022

There are many factors and causes, and for some men, a fix:

WEB MD Some blood pressure medications
Some depression medications
Medications for prostate issues

For me? I have what many men develop after fifty years old: "calcium deposits." In my case, the prostate (and elsewhere) has me prone to urinary tract infections (easily treated with antibiotics, but the calcium hides the bacteria from the antibiotic ).

There are a lot of online resources, but please see your doctor so together you can discover what may be the issues in your particular case.
