HIghly dissatsified with sexual stimulus

We cannot escape it but we do not have to let it overpower us all the time

"Speak out, even if what you have to say is unpopular"

it is possible to ignore the media. does anyone force you to watch tv?
does anyone force you to read the paper or listen to the radio, or come online. if we are that bothered about not being affected by the media, then we could go and research the facts outselves. but we tend to watch the news or read a paper as its easier.

as for sexual stimuli and the media, ther media, (american media in particular) shows us plastic people, people we are never like to meet. so we rely on our own instincts to decide what we like out of the available range. chances are you will never see anyone who looks like britney spears or charlize theron, but most of us will choose a partner. it isnt neccessarily even our media that controls it. its society, in roman times, a specific type of woman was attractive, with the large nose and strong facial features, in some african tribe, they want large lazy wives, because this is seen as a sign of prosperity (you have enough money that you eat well, and your wife doesnt have to do anything), whereas in our current society we want people you look young, are very thin, and have large breasts. it will change at some point, but nothings going to stop it. the media picks up on what we currently find attractive, and broadcasts it.

"So Schrodinger's Cat is not only neither dead nor alive, but might also be sexually aroused by elbows and peanut butter?"

its impossible to avoid it unless you avoid society entirely. if you do this, you remain ignorant.

society immitates these plastic people, we meet people similar to them on a regular basis. they may not look exactly like them or behave in the exact same way, but they have similar characteristics.

"i look around, i look around. i see a lot of new faces."

i really honestly do beleive that most people are simply lying to themselves.

i dont see why you cant just stop. maybe i am a lot stronger than i thought, maybe im a lot younger, but still, just fucking stop lying to yourself, and stop careing about what "society" thinks, and be completly natural...

it is just really hard for me to beleive that you cant stop yourelf from being so shallow, and if you cant, its even harder to beleive that you are incapable of accepting that.

"Wht cry for those that often cry? Instead, help them smile, and smile for those that smile."

What is natural, awakend? How do I just ignore the dating ads on the train, at school, in people's conversations? Don't these have some kind of effect on my subconscious?

"How can we be just in a world without mercy and merciful in a world without justice?"

natural means whatever you honestly feel is the right thing. if that is following the ads of dating, then you need to be ok with it. if you trly beleive that is not the case, which is what decius has found out about himself, then you need to pursue people that make you feel comfortable. people that make you want them.

if you want the guy on the kalvin kline poster, go for him and have a little humility and admit that shallow things turn you on. or, if thats not your flavor, go for what ever is and be ok that you have a preference.

and if you are unable to defend yourself, meaning your subconscience, then maybe you should accept the fact that you are weak and that these things will affect you. because the only way for "society" to go away is to be a hermit.

are you neccessarily shallow if you want the guy in the calvin kline ads, he may have a nice personality, and be reasonably intelligent. just because he is a model, would that make you shallow. most people are natural in their choices, we don't go im not going to go out with her because the media says shes not that pretty or smart, but what you find attractive may be subconciously effected by the media.

i wouldnt say im shallow, i find certain women physically attractive, but wouldnt touch them with a barge pole, because if find their personalities etc so repulsive. but for me to respect my partner, there must be some physical attraction, how can you have any physical relation with a person who you dont find attractivein that way?
