Medically seminal retention doesn't exist. The semen still comes out in
the urine according to a medical article I read way back in the early 1970s.
Civilization is just a way to keep humans from having sex all the time.

/*
*/What I'll riff on is -- strangely enough -- the fact that this
article and like discussions remind me a bit of what it's been like to
watch the third season of "House Of Cards." I've already posted about
how underwhelmed I was by this season, and how I thought its creators
had allowed it to degenerate into a soap opera about a powerful, evil
man (played by Kevin Stacey...now the President) and his equally evil
but not as powerful wife (played by Robin Wright...no relation), and
thus making it more a series about a Bad Marriage (and thus boring)
than an insightful series with anything to say about American
Presidential politics.
/*
*/
/*
*/All of that was true. But the one way I *was* able to keep my
interest up enough to keep clicking on the next episode was to focus
on one other character. That would be Doug Stamper (played by Michael
Kelly, who deserves any acting award nominations for this season much
more than either Spacey or Wright).
/*
*/
/*
*/He's the ultimate cultist. This season is more about the "marriage"
he feels exists in his head between him and his guru/leader the
President than it is about the real marriage between the President and
his wife. Doug Stamper has done despicable things for this President
-- he's killed for him several times, and helped the President cover
up the murder he committed with his own hands. He more than anyone
else should have no illusions about Spacey's character -- he *knows*
that he's a thoroughly evil man, with no allegiance to anyone or
anything other than power. But Doug Stamper is completely, totally
devoted to him, in a way that really only rings true and believable if
you've been around cults.
/*
*/
/*
*/He spends most of the season trying to recover from the brain injury
he received while in the process of trying to kill yet another person
for the President. And *as* he recovers and goes through painful
therapy and even more painful struggles to keep from slipping back
into the alcoholism he'd recovered from previously, the *only* thing
in his mind is how to get back into the good graces of his guru, the
President.
/*
*/
/*
*/You would recognize this one-pointed fervor, Salyavin. You've seen
it in any number of Purusha types. They, too could have witnessed
Maharishi murdering someone and found a way to justify it in their
minds, because they were so devoted to him. They, too could possibly
have been talked into murdering for him -- we all know that several
such people *were* talked into smuggling large sums of cash across
international borders for Maharishi. They found a way to have *no
problem* with illegal activities when the person they were devoted to
told them to perform these activities.
/*
*/
/*
*/This is the nature of "devotion," the way Maharishi taught it. If
the guru sez "Jump," the *only* response should be "How high?" If he
says "Kill," the only response should be "Who and how many?" (cf.
Krishna to Arjuna in the Gita)
/*
*/
/*
*/So I would suggest that there are things worse than cutting one's
balls off to be closer to the guru and closer to God. Worse would be
cutting out your own moral compass and sense of ethics and believing
that the *only* thing that defines "right" (as opposed to "wrong") is
What The Guru Says To Do. That's a castration of a different kind. And
a much worse one IMO. /*

It sounds like natural selection to me.
But it's also worrying because I usually get annoyed when I hear the
authorities tell us that people have to be protected from their own
stupidity. Clearly there are some /very/ stupid people about.
I wonder if anyone was happy with the outcome and actually felt closer
to god? That'd be an interesting study to test True Believerism.
I know a purusha guy who was telling me they have a genuine celibate
on the programme - that's completely celibate since forever - they are
all excited because they obviously think this qualifies the guy as a
hot ticket for enlightenment.
I asked him if it was really a good thing and maybe he should shag
around for a bit to know what he's missing before he gets stuck with a
peer group who are so intent on pressuring him to keep chaste. I got
the usual stony look and was left with the impression they think I
just don't get this stuff.
So maybe one of our more spiritual types can tell me; what does an
orgasm do to you that is so bad that it stops you getting enlightened,
or at least slows down your evolution?
