Harvard Scientist Reveals the Shocking Impact of Watching Porn One of the major impacts of the Internet is the widespread availability of porn. It’s incredibly easy to stream it for free, yet according to a Harvard scientist it may be doing damage to your health. Kevin Majeres is a psychiatrist specializing in cognitive-behavioral therapy and is a faculty member of Harvard Medical School. Writing in a blog post, Majeres breaks down how the brain works and what happens during repeated exposure to pornography. He explains it in such logical terms that you’ll probably think again before succumbing to the temptation of watching porn. Majeres begins with the mating patterns discovered in rats: “Scientists have discovered that if you place a male rat in a cage with a receptive female, they will mate; but once done, the male rat will not mate more times, even if the female is still receptive. Pornography’s power comes from the way it tricks the man’s lower brain. Here’s what Majeres has to say about the role of dopamine in this process: Majeres continues:

Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr. Harvard Medical School professor and researcher, Robert J. Waldinger sat down with TEDxBeaconStreet to discuss what makes "the good life," according to a 75-year-long research project he is now leading. (TEDxBeaconStreet, Photo: Dave Rezendes) My grandmother once told me this little story that stuck with me. One afternoon at a doctor’s appointment, her doctor moved her large purse to another chair and remarked how heavy it was. My grandparents lived modestly, still in the narrow two-bedroom rowhouse where she’d raised her family since her husband returned from World War II. My grandmother knew what Harvard researchers have since confirmed: Relationships are the key to a happy life. [Your relationships are just as important to your health as diet and exercise] Robert Waldinger, a Harvard psychiatrist, took over the more than 75-year-long Grant Study in 2003, becoming the fourth person to run it. Waldinger felt it was important to do it. Related:
Comment remettre l'homme au centre de la technologie : le manifeste de Jaron Lanier « Que se passe-t-il quand nous arrêtons de façonner la technologie et que la technologie commence à nous façonner ? » C’est la question centrale qui anime le livre « You are not a gadget, a manifesto » de Jaron Lanier, publié par Alfred A. Knopf. > Qui est Jaron Lanier ? Pionnier et père de la réalité virtuelle, classé par le Times, pour l'année 2010, parmi les 100 penseurs les plus influents au monde, Jaron Lanier a principalement travaillé sur l’interface et l’interaction entre la machine et l’homme. Dès la première page de son livre, Jaron Lanier annonce ses intentions : son livre est un manifeste, celui d’un témoin de l’émergence du Web et des changements radicaux qu’il a entrainé aussi bien pour le commerce, que pour la pensée, l’art ou la culture. Attention néanmoins, Jaron Lanier n’est absolument pas technophobe : « Cela m’ennuie que je sois parfois classé comme étant anti-technologie alors que je suis en réalité un véritable technologiste. » > Un véritable manifeste
Taboo A taboo is a vehement prohibition of an action based on the belief that such behavior is either too sacred or too accursed for ordinary individuals to undertake, under threat of supernatural punishment.[1][2] Such prohibitions are present in virtually all societies.[1] The word has been somewhat expanded in the social sciences to strong prohibitions relating to any area of human activity or custom that is sacred or forbidden based on moral judgment and religious beliefs.[citation needed] "Breaking a taboo" is usually considered objectionable by society in general, not merely a subset of a culture. Etymology[edit] Not one of them would sit down, or eat a bit of any thing.... On expressing my surprise at this, they were all taboo, as they said; which word has a very comprehensive meaning; but, in general, signifies that a thing is forbidden.[4] When any thing is forbidden to be eaten, or made use of, they say, that it is taboo.[5] Examples[edit] Function[edit] Modernity[edit] See also[edit]
When Should Parents Talk To Kids About Porn? - Dr. Marty Klein When Should Parents Talk To Kids About Porn? That’s the question an interviewer asked me today. The answer is: now. Here are some key points of the interview. * There is no “The Sex Talk” with kids. * You don’t want porn to be the topic of the first talk you have with your kids about sex. * Porn is part of the larger, long-term series of conversations about sex we have with our kids. * Porn isn’t made for kids, and we don’t want them watching it. * If you’re embarrassed to talk to your kids about sex or porn, say “I’m embarrassed.” For more about enhancing porn literacy in young people (and reducing marital conflict about porn), see my new book or blog.

Photonic Fence | Intellectual Ventures Malaria – a parasitic disease transmitted by mosquitoes – kills nearly 1 million people each year. Bed nets and insecticides have helped keep the disease in check in many parts of the world, but more tools are needed to limit contact between humans and mosquitoes. Intellectual Ventures’ photonic fence invention adds a new layer of protection by coupling low-cost camera and laser technology with software developed at Intellectual Ventures Laboratory. The device creates a virtual fence that detects insects as they cross its plane. Scientists at IV Lab have developed a working prototype of the photonic fence to demonstrate its feasibility.
Hypergamy - Wikipedia Republished // WIKI 2 Hypergamy (colloquially referred to as "marrying up") is a term used in social science for the act or practice of marrying someone who is wealthier or of higher caste or social status than oneself.[citation needed] The word "hypogamy"[1] typically refers to instances of the inverse occurring: marrying a person of lower social class or status. Prevalence Forms of hypergamy have been practiced throughout history, including in India, modern China[2] and imperial China, ancient Greece, the Ottoman Empire and feudal Europe.[3] Today most people marry their approximate social equals, and in much of the world hypergamy is felt[by whom?] Mating preferences and hypergamy Saint-Paul (2008) argued that, based on mathematical models, human female hypergamy occurs because women have greater lost mating opportunity costs from monogamous mating (given their slower reproductive rate and limited window of fertility), and thus must be compensated for this cost of marriage.

Porn Makes Men Terrible in Bed I hate porn. I don’t hate it because it’s immoral, or because it often explores “unusual” tastes, or because it has uncovered a bestial side of humans we pretended didn’t exist. I hate porn because fucking men who have watched a lot of porn is the worst. And, the real humans who eventually have sex with suffer for it. Most porn is about watching women pretend to enjoy sex acts that are unpleasant to them. More than that, however, is men become accustomed to watching women pretending to be turned on. To add to the mind-numbing process, women are never able to experience sexual pleasure because of the continuous cutting during sex scenes. I speak from personal experience when I say to be in the middle of a hardcore sex act with several actors at the same time and told to “freeze” in position for several minutes while lighting or cameras are adjusted is extremely painful and degrading. Shelly Lubben describing the filming of porn ‘Is that all?’ ‘No,’ he said. ‘No’, he grunted. ‘Are we done?’
The Intellectual Yet Idiot The Intellectual Yet Idiot is a production of modernity hence has been accelerating since the mid twentieth century, to reach its local supremum today, along with the broad category of people without skin-in-the-game who have been invading many walks of life. Why? Simply, in most countries, the government’s role is between five and ten times what it was a century ago (expressed in percentage of GDP). The IYI seems ubiquitous in our lives but is still a small minority and is rarely seen outside specialized outlets, think tanks, the media, and universities — most people have proper jobs and there are not many openings for the IYI. Beware the semi-erudite who thinks he is an erudite. He fails to naturally detect sophistry. The IYI pathologizes others for doing things he doesn’t understand without ever realizing it is his understanding that may be limited. More socially, the IYI subscribes to The New Yorker. He knows at any point in time what his words or actions are doing to his reputation.
