For ages, solo sex was hardly taboo. What led to its centuries-long dry spell?​

For the vast majority of humans throughout history, masturbation has been a natural norm rather than a taboo. The brief animation ‘Masturbation: A Short History of a Great Taboo’ (2022) traces much of the blame for ‘the offensive against solo sex’ across the past several centuries back to a curious pamphlet titled Onania: Or, the Heinous Sin of Self-Pollution (c1712), which, written by a now-unknown author, attributed both moral injury and physical malady to self-pleasure. The short is part of the documentary series Magical Caresses, dedicated to ‘solo sexuality’, by the Canadian filmmaker Lori Malépart-Traversy, who previously employed her charming animation style to explore sexuality with Le Clitoris (2016).
 
Masturbation is not good. However, internet pornography is even worse.

If we could go back to an era where pornography wasn’t digital that would be nice.
 
Did you read my first sentence? Knock it off.

There is definitely an issue with pornography being so easily accessible.
I don’t know. If we flooded the Middle East with pot and porn, I think they’d all be a little more chill.

Had no idea it was out of favor to begin with.

So you watch/ look at it for the compelling and riveting storylines?

What did you search? Honestly.


Picked up a Simon Line Time Lapse yesterday (in Neutron plastic of course) and tried it out this morning. Supposed to fly like a Destroyer but it’s definitely more over stable. Just need to beat it in if ya know what I mean.
If you make a Destroyer flip up at all wihtout throwing it on anny, you're better than 95% of us noodle arms out here. Halo Star Tern, glide for days.

My backhand is pretty average so I stick with 9 speeds and under. But I'll throw 12-13 speeds with my forehand for max distance shots. I have not thrown a Tern but I'd assume it's somewhat stable since it's Halo plastic. The only Innova I throw at the moment are my Leopard3 and Mako3. I used to have a Sexton Firebird that was awesome but I lost it in a tree.

Sure, I don't want to leave you hanging. If you're looking for a last minute xmas gift for your kids, MVP is selling what they call a macro disc, which is about half the size of a standard PDGA approved disc. Definitely a great way to introduce them to one of the rising elite sports.

Can I get a Dream Team set of these? Like ones with pics of each Dream Team member imprinted on it to throw around?

No doubt. Custom stamps are a thing and available on the MVP site. That will be great for our inaugural WC league invitational.

Got in just under the wire, but the years worst thread has arrived.
Here.. I’ll make up for it. Check out this podcast if you haven’t already. Good stuff.

Edit: The link goes to latest episode but the series goes way back into rock n roll.

 
If this was fit for my kids, they may not be my kids in a week
So do your kids only play survival sports like swimming and pickleball?

Look at it this way, it’s a super cheap hobby and not time consuming like that kickball thing and track.
