The complexities of sexual desire are far greater than one might assume.. AI-Generated.
What is the sensation of being 'turned on' meant to be like? The prevailing narratives surrounding us suggest that it is a straightforward and instinctive experience, particularly for the younger population. However, sexual desire is far from being a simple matter. What constitutes sexual desire? While the topic at hand is indeed sex, it is essential to recognize that sexual desire encompasses both physical and mental health dimensions. There exists a substantial body of legitimate scientific research on this subject, yet it is often regarded as taboo or inappropriate, resulting in numerous significant issues remaining unaddressed. Sexual desire can be defined as the yearning for some form of sexual engagement, whether with another person or oneself, as the concept of desire itself is not entirely comprehended. It is frequently likened to the experience of hunger. For instance, one may crave a particular food item, yet this does not necessarily lead to a physical response, such as salivation. In this context, arousal refers to the physical reaction that accompanies desire. Essentially, an individual may wish to engage in sexual activity without experiencing physical arousal, and conversely, one may find themselves physically aroused without any accompanying mental desire.

If a Lot of People Believe a Thing It Must Be True
If a lot of people believe a thing it is probably or must be true is a classical cognitive bias and logical fallacy. It is an offshoot of the obvious proposition that a lot of a falsehood (or that a lot of people believe a falsehood) does not make the falsehood less false or true, nor does it make it more false, though it is a bit strange to think of it in those terms. If something is wrong, in error, or false, what any one or any ten million people believe about it, makes no difference, it is still false. This bias is most often observed in social circles when rumors about a particular person which are false start to become believed as true as more and more people are exposed to the falsehood. It only takes one person to express belief in the falsehood to trigger this domino effect. And once the dominos begin to fall it becomes harder and harder to stop them from falling and they fall faster and faster and faster. It is so easy to fall into his trap, particular if you are the victim of such false rumor mongering and you are searching for ways to fight back against your accusor or accusors. You may pick up certain pieces of information (beliefs of others), and you may believe them as well, but they may very well be false. Even if you hear the same beliefs expressed by others, even many others, that does not change their truth value. The belief could still be false or wrong or in error. Do not use the fact that many people tell you they believe something to assign it a high probability of being true, for it has no higher probability of being true than a thing which is believed by only one person. A belief is not a fact and this is a thing which is very hard to remember and very hard to disentangle in actual practice. When does a belief become a fact? A question that has been asked by philosophers since time immemorial with no answer yet forthcoming. A favorite of many is a belief becomes (is) a fact when it corresponds with reality, when it is actually the case. It is phrased a million different ways of course, but no matter how you parse it, ultimately it begs the question, what is reality and who is the judge of reality? Isn't reality just what we all believe about what is real? and thus we are brought back full circle to beliefs and have made zero progress.

Diary of An Auto-Immune Survivalist - The Hemorrhage
Blood poured from my vaginal canal and into the toilet. Clots of blood slipped out of me like a chain of fat beads that plopped into the water below. Reaching my hand beneath my seated tush, I caught one of the warm bloody clumps and brought it into view. It looked like a thick slice of beef liver, larger than the palm of my hand. The frail red mass separated into pieces as it dropped back into the toilet’s bowl. Hurriedly, I pulled a hand towel from its hook and put it up, in-between my legs. Shoving the towel into my vaginal opening, I applied as much pressure as I could as a desperate measure to slow the blood flow. My panic grew. I squeezed my thighs together to hold the towel in place.

Should You Trust Your Gut Instinct?
Do you ever get the uneasy sensation in your stomach that a particular choice is the right one, but you're not sure why? Is there science underlying intuition, which is sometimes dismissed as mystical or associated with telepathy and premonitions? Is it wise to follow your gut?
