The Timeless Wisdom Of Louis IX
Perhaps the most sincere and guileless of medieval chroniclers was France's Jean de Joinville, the Seneschal of Champagne. He lived from 1224 to 1317, reaching a maturity of worldly experience shared by none of his contemporaries except fellow historian Geoffrey de Villehardouin.
Joinville was the counsellor and confidant to King Louis IX (later the canonized St. Louis), and accompanied him on the Seventh Crusade. He wrote, in 1309 at the age of eighty-five, a work called the Histoire de St. Louis (Life of St. Louis); it is more of a personal testament than a biography, for it describes Joinville's experiences at Read More
How I Turned Vulnerabilities into Confidence and Sexual Powder
Being vulnerable is scarey.
Some people mistake vulnerability for low self confidence, but it isn't really the same thing. And figuring out the difference? That's the key to power in the bedroom, my friends.
Back in my late teens, when I was a wide-eyed high school senior on the brink of becoming a college student, I was incredibly anxious at the thought of an unknown social situation. I still deal with social anxiety, but I have it more under control. When I was 18, I let it control me instead.
Then I got laid.
I lost my virginity and everything changed. Seriously, everything changed. Read More
Lelo Mona Wave
The Lelo Mona Wave takes the Mona and adds motion, meant to do the g-spot stroking for you. For me, sex toys don't replace a human. They're a great accompaniment. I love using them by myself and with a partner. But just as a penis or finger or tongue could never vibrate and nearly never achieve the orgasms (for me) that a good vibrator can, a sex toy can never feel like oral sex or the thrusting of a penis or the stroking, much-lauded “come-hither” motion of a finger or two. Yet sex toy companies, Lelo included, keep trying to Read More
What Is Government?
Government is the enslavement of a population within a defined set of borders called a nation, where a parasitic class termed the “elite” maintains complete control and authority of the population to accumulate power and wealth. Elite groups have evolved different styles of control depending on the geography, genetics, environment, and culture contained within its borders.
Everything a government does is to preserve or increase the power and wealth of the elite. This requires various levels of carrot and stick. Benefits or rights given to citizens, while seemingly altruistic on the surface, are approved by the elite because through some mechanism Read More
The Myth Of Yellow Fever
Recently, YouTube personality and aspiring actress Anna Akana posted a rant about white men who fetishize Asian women. In the video, Akana recounts her experiences with yellow fever-stricken white nerds with such bitterness that you can practically visualize stink lines wafting off the screen:
Beyond the fact that Akana is clearly making some of her stories up (getting approached by men speaking an Asian language? Yeah right, honey), her video itself is based on a lie. Yellow fever, as described by jealous white girls and Americanized Asian girls, does not exist. The idea that there's a whole population of men who Read More
