  • My Virgo sexuality

    "Virgos Are Experimental

    It’s rare to find a partner that is truly up for anything in the bedroom, but it’s a lot more likely if the person you’re seeing is a Virgo. Virgos are known for being practical and down-to-earth, so they rarely get high and mighty about sex and intimacy. That being said, they’ll probably be willing to try pretty much everything at least once. TL;DR: You’ll never have a boring sex life with a Virgo.

    Whether it’s some role play, BDSM, or a tricky new position, Virgos are naturally curious and generally interested in experimenting."

  • I am a Secular Pagan, Earth-Centered, Inspired by Nature, Unitarian Universalist
    "Approach to sacred writings

    Originally, both Unitarianism and Universalism were Christian denominations, and U.U.s still reference Jewish and Christian texts. Today, the Unitarian Universalist approach to sacred writings, including the Christian Bible and Hebrew Scriptures, is taken more broadly:

    While Unitarianism and Universalism both have roots in the Protestant Christian tradition, where the Bible is the sacred text, we now look to additional sources for religious and moral inspiration. We celebrate the spiritual insights of the world’s religions, recognizing the wisdom in many scriptures. When we read scripture in worship, whether it is the Bible, the Dhammapada, or the Tao Te-Ching, we interpret it as a product of its time and its place, ... not to be interpreted narrowly or oppressively ...[S]scripture is never the only word or the final word. From the beginning we have trusted in the human capacity to use reason and draw conclusions about religion ... each of us ultimately chooses what is sacred to us.

    Unitarian Universalists regard the texts of the world's religions as venerable works of different peoples attempting to understand and explain 'the mystery' and 'the sacred' that surrounds all human existence and experience. They treat with respect the scriptural works of peoples of all religions or spiritual backgrounds."

  • I am an Agnostic Humanist Unitarian Universalist
    “Rev. Dr. William F. Schulz, human rights activist and President-CEO of the Unitarian Universalist (UU) Service Committee, writes of our humanistic beliefs:
    "We believe that human beings are responsible for the future; that history is in our hands, not those of an angry God or inexorable fate."
    "We believe that life's blessings are available to everyone, not just those who can recite a certain catechism,"
    "And we believe that those blessings are made manifest to us not just in the "miraculous" or extraordinary but in the simple pleasures of the everyday." “I am pro-evidence, pro-data, pro-studying, pro-research, pro-logic, pro-critical thinking, pro-knowledge, pro-thinking for self, pro-reading, pro-writing, pro-testing of beliefs, and pro-scientific experiments. I am a figuratist and not a literalist when it comes to all religions. I am not a traditionalist and I am unconventional. I am free-living, free-thinking, free-loving, and free-spirited. I don’t attend houses of worship.” Antonio Myers

  • Why is listening is the most important part body positive sex, sex and sex work are art forms
    “I am open to blacked.com, interracial adult film sites, mainstream adult film sites that I didn’t state in this episode, adult content sites and adult sites that I didn’t state in this episode, Netflix porn, Tube 8 because there no racial fetishization and no fetishization at all when it comes to my performances with my co-stars in the future. There is no inhumanity to my sex off-camera and on-camera. I would never do business with any disreputable entities. I honor healthy sexual privacy, healthy sexual confidentiality, bodily autonomy, and bodily integrity. I only work with environments free of abusive supervision, toxic workplaces, abusive workplaces, narcissistic leadership, bullying culture, toxic leadership, workplace incivility, workplace bullying, abusive power and control, and psychopathy in the workplace.” -Antonio Myers

  • THIS COUPLE IS AN ADULT ENTERTAINMENT PHOTOGRAPHER DUO (NSFW)

    "The answer to this is more complicated than it would seem. Real-life couples know what they want in bed, they’re already hot for each other, and you can often see the shared intimacy and connection that they have. They like each other and want to be there. That chemistry is what I’m after when I work with a real-life couple and I think I’ve done a good job of capturing it. We often focus on people’s faces because I want to see the interactions they have while having sex. That, to me, is far more interesting than any of the mechanics of sex (although we like to show that too, of course). I have been a fan of erotic content made for women since I bought my first copy of Australian Women’s Forum in 1994. It had male centerfolds and erotic fiction. I became a freelance journalist for that magazine in 1998. When I started making adult websites in 2000, it seemed a natural extension to make adult content that catered to women. I like adult entertainment, but I never liked the sexism of it or the way it always gave priority to the male viewer. My goal from the beginning was to offer a female perspective and make adult content for women like myself. That expanded into ForTheGirls.com in 2003 and then making films in 2009 followed by the launch of BrightDesire.com in 2012.

    There’s a lot of discussion in feminist adult entertainment circles about what’s “authentic” in adult content and how the term is used as a “genre” in some ways. If there’s a camera in the room when people are having sex, that fundamentally changes the dynamic. It’s always a performance, even if it’s a real life couple filming themselves with an iPhone. But it’s also real sex and people can be having real orgasms and having a legitimately good time. Ultimately, we try to offer something that is realistic and if our performers also have a good time then that makes it even better. Our work embraces a lot of themes. One is that adult entertainment is a form of media, like anything else. It’s not inherently wrong, or immoral, or sexist or racist. You can capture the act of sex in a way that’s respectful, compelling, and visually interesting. Just because the viewer is aroused doesn’t take away the fact that adult content is an art form like any other. On top of that there’s the idea of ethics. We are making adult content in an ethical way – respecting our workers, paying them properly, treating them well, ensuring safety on set etc. (See our statement of ethics here.) From the beginning, I’ve emphasized respect for our performers, both in how we work with them and how they’re presented on the site. I never use derogatory language to describe them or the sex. I want to honor their work and who they are.

    That said, we’ve worked with many real-life couples who were making adult content for the first time, and they’re often nervous about being in front of the camera. They also don’t really know what to expect, they aren’t used to lighting or other technical considerations. This can impact what we capture. We do our best to be unobtrusive and make people feel comfortable so they can relax and just do what they’d normally do, but sometimes that means it’s not perfect. We’ve also shot with people who have never met before or professionals who have said they’d like to work with a particular person but they’ve never had sex with each other. Those scenes can have their own special chemistry and magic. The thrill of the first time can be wonderful to see. The scene we did with Jiz Lee and Bishop Black is absolutely adorable and they’d never had sex before, although they were previously acquainted. The scene went for hours because they were so into each other they wouldn’t stop. And professionals are often easier for us to shoot because they are more comfortable being filmed so they’re better able to just focus on having fun."

  • Ethical Pornography? Could ethical pornography play a legitimate role in secular, human rights respecting societies?
    I look forward to appearing on adult content creator sites (e.g., ManyVids) and having my own adult content creator site. My future entity will even help with regular investment portfolios and regular syndication money and regular syndication rights for all of the people involved with it. My future entity will unite with sexual and nonsexual social justice organizations as well as fight discrimination against sex workers in the regular world of work. 
    "How could pornography be made more ethical? Perhaps there could be an Ethical Pornography Association (the EPA?), made up of voluntary participants in the industry, that sets its own standards for membership and certification. The standards could be formed through a direct democratic process that includes the performers of the participating production companies. They could monitor how pornography participants are selected, treated, and compensated. In return for voluntarily following regulations, pornographers could be rewarded with improved business opportunities and social acceptance. The activities that the organization will engage in could include suggesting voluntary regulations and producing an academic journal. 
    Suggested EPA Activities:
    1. Calculating the total cost to an individual psychologically, physically, socially, and professionally when they participate in pornography.
    2. Ensuring that participants are being fairly compensated and prepared for life after pornography (e.g., guaranteed minimum wage, health-care benefits and tuition reimbursement).
    3. Establishing rules for how pornography is distributed so that individuals, and those they are custodians of, are not exposed to it against their wills.
    4. Establish a waiting period during which a performer has the right to recall any footage they appear in, with only reasonable pre-stated penalties. Perhaps a 2–4 week waiting period during which payment and/or a deposit are withheld. Pornographers could adjust by filming scenes in ways that make them publishable even if some of the participants decline to have their footage published.
    5. A work guarantee where every performer is guaranteed that they will be paid a living wage if they accept job offers for a given duration (e.g., 28k/1 year).
    6. They could conduct studies of the long-term impact of pornography on sex-related crime and the physical and psychological well-being of participants and consumers.
    7. Participants who are members of the association could be subjected to periodic inspections to make sure they are in compliance."
    “The team of researchers has come up with a new way to capture the tiny details on the surface of various skin patches on an actor’s face at a resolution of 10 microns as they’re being stretched and deformed by a specially-designed rig. At that resolution the exact deformations of even individual skin pores are captured and using custom software, the captured data can be mapped to the artificial skin of a CG character, making the emotions of the face so realistic you can’t tell human from computer human.”

  • God of The Bible is not pro-life and Hitler called himself a Christian

    "Here Hitler uses the Bible and his Christianity in order to attack the Jews and uphold his anti-Semitism:

    “My feelings as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter.  It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who, God’s truth!  was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter.  In boundless love as a Christian and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the Temple the brood of vipers and adders.  How terrific was His fight for the world against the Jewish poison.  To-day, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before the fact that it was for this that He had to shed His blood upon the Cross.  As a Christian I have no duty to allow my self to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice…  And if there is anything which could demonstrate that we are acting rightly it is the distress that daily grows . For as a Christian I have also a duty to my own people.” –Adolf Hitler, in a speech on 12 April 1922 (Norman H. Baynes, ed.  The Speeches of Adolf Hitler, April 1922-August 1939, Vol. 1 of 2, pp. 19-20, Oxford University Press, 1942)

    “Christianity could not content itself with building up its own altar; it was absolutely forced to undertake the destruction of the heathen altars.  Only from this fanatical intolerance could its apodictic faith take form; this intolerance is, in fact, its absolute presupposition.” -Adolf Hitler Mein Kampf (It is quite obvious here that Hitler is referring to destructing the Judaism alters on which Christianity was founded.)

    “The personification of the devil as the symbol of all evil assumes the living shape of the Jew.” -Adolf Hitler Mein Kampf (The idea of the devil and the Jew came out of medieval anti-Jewish beliefs based on interpretations from the Bible. Martin Luther, and teachers after him, continued this “tradition” up until the 20th century.)

    “With satanic joy in his face, the black-haired Jewish youth lurks in wait for the unsuspecting girl whom he defiles with his blood, thus stealing her from her people.” -Adolf Hitler Mein Kampf (It is common in war for one race to rape another so that they can “defile” the race and assimilate their own.  Hitler speaks about this very tactic here.)"

  • Murder, slavery, animal sacrifice, human sacrifice, and rape in The Bible
    "Ritual Human Sacrifice

    Ritual Human Sacrifice in the Bible

    (Why does God want me to burn animals and humans?)

    The Bible, especially the Old Testament, is filled with numerous stories of animal and human sacrifice.  God, we are told, likes the pleasing aroma of burning flesh.  Animal sacrifice is much more common than human sacrifice, but both occur and are “pleasing to the Lord”.

    Genesis, the first book of the Bible, has Abraham preparing to sacrifice his son to God.  “Take your son, your only son – yes, Isaac, whom you love so much – and go to the land of Moriah.  Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains, which I will point out to you.” (Genesis 22:1-18)  Abraham takes his own son up on a mountain and builds an altar upon which to burn him.  He even lies to his son and has him help build the altar.  Then Abraham ties his son to the altar and puts a knife to his throat.  He then hears God tell him this was just a test of his faith.  However, God still wanted to smell some burnt flesh so he tells Abraham to burn a ram.

    Even though he didn’t kill his son, it is still an incredibly cruel and evil thing to do.  If Abraham did that today he would be in jail serving a long sentence as someone’s prison-bitch.  It amazes me how Christians see this story as a sign of God’s love.  There is no love here, just pure unadulterated evil.

    The first seven chapters of Leviticus have extensive rules regarding animal and food sacrifices.  These offerings are supposed to be burnt so that God can smell them.  If you read through these it seems clear to me that the priests were getting their followers to make a big feast for them every week.  The priests were very particular about what kind of food to bring and how to prepare it.

    Even more peculiar is God’s obsession with first-born sons.  In Exodus 13:2 the Lord said “Consecrate to me every first-born that opens the womb among Israelites, both man and beast, for it belongs to me.” Later it says that you can redeem (replace) an ass with a sheep and that you must redeem a child for an unspecified price.  It is clear from the context that “consecrate” means a burning sacrifice.  These priests are guilty of theft and kidnapping.  Since any sins in the Old Testament were punishable by death, these priests used the threat of death to extort food and money from their followers.  What do we call a scum-bag that threatens to kill your kids unless you pay a ransom?  A kidnapper!  If these priests were alive today they would be in prison with Abraham.

    However, in Leviticus 27:28-29, the Lord allows for no redemptions.  “Note also that any one of his possessions which a man vows as doomed to the Lord, whether it is a human being or an animal, or a hereditary field, shall be neither sold nor ransomed; everything that is thus doomed becomes most sacred to the Lord.  All human beings that are doomed lose the right to be redeemed; they must be put to death.” I must admit that I am a bit confused by this contradiction, but it might only apply to slaves in your possession.  Not that it makes any difference.  A human sacrifice is a human sacrifice, and it is just sick."

  • Slavery at five years old
    "In social philosophy, objectification is the act of treating a person, or sometimes an animal,[1] as an object or a thing. It is part of dehumanization, the act of disavowing the humanity of others. Sexual objectification, the act of treating a person as a mere object of sexual desire, is a subset of objectification, as is self-objectification, the objectification of one's self. In Marxism, the objectification of social relationships is discussed as "reification".
    "According to Martha Nussbaum, a person is objectified if one or more of the following properties are applied to them:[2]
    Instrumentality – treating the person as a tool for another's purposes
    Denial of autonomy – treating the person as lacking in autonomy or self-determination
    Inertness – treating the person as lacking in agency or activity
    Fungibility – treating the person as interchangeable with (other) objects
    Violability – treating the person as lacking in boundary integrity and violable, "as something that it is permissible to break up, smash, break into."
    Ownership – treating the person as though they can be owned, bought, or sold (such as slavery)
    Denial of subjectivity – treating the person as though there is no need for concern for their experiences or feelings
    Rae Langton proposed three more properties to be added to Nussbaum's list:[3]
    Reduction to body – the treatment of a person as identified with their body, or body parts
    Reduction to appearance – the treatment of a person primarily in terms of how they look, or how they appear to the senses
    Silencing – the treatment of a person as if they are silent, lacking the capacity to speak." I was exposed to adult sex tourism growing up in the world of organized crime.
