Regret to inform you that Rapture 2025 has been canceled

Having attended clothing-optional weekends, I can attest that nudity is both freeing and healing. At those events, most people find that the body stops being automatically sexualized, but rather the diversity of body shapes and sizes becomes celebrated.

That's so cool.

how did your body image change during that time?

Right.
A suicide pact all designed to distract from the real issues that relate to their mutual hatred of humanity and children in particular.

And let’s be clear. The religious idea that one person’s body is EVER responsible for the sexual thoughts of another person is misguided and harmful.

A nude does not induce others to β€œsin”.
A nude is not a stumbling block.

A nude picture is a legitimate and healthy expression of Self.

Deal!!

think they have several rights when someone posts nude pictures.

So I want to clear this up.

A nude picture, voluntarily posted is NOT

β€”an invitation to be sexualized by another
β€”an invitation to send suggestive DMs to them
β€”an invitation to send them a nude of yourself (post that on your page)

Cross-post thread on Nudity and Exhibitionism.

Normally, I post this on a site more supportive of people posting nude and erotic pictures of themselves.

Exhibitionism for many people is a means to shed off the body shame and sexual repression they grew up with.

I celebrate that.
But, others may

It is true.
And throw in Netanyahou with them. Same motivations.

I believe and teach others that none of us own any other person.

We do not have control in how they live their personal lives.
People rarely disagree with me on this.

Until...
I tell them this applies to their spouses, SO's, children, and parents.

It is the child of a collaboration between many neurologists and psychologistsβ€”which should have happened years ago.

Yes, that is one scenario for a child of neglect.

We all have Protector parts and the combination of parts is all different.

But regardless of which presentation of parts one has, the neglected young ones need our care directly by re-consolidating the memory.

Les Miserables
Madame Bovary
Great Expectations

Something about 19th century literature was very reactive to the simple love story. From Madame Bovary wasting away because she is stuck loving a man who does not love her to Pip mooning over his limerant fantasy, they were cynical.

I consider it to be the most difficult of early abuses to bring full recovery from.

A lot of counselors feel by giving care and affirmation this will cancel out the neglect that was foisted on the client. But it doesn’t work. Not that way.

Effective Memory Reconsolidation requires that we reactivate the entire emotional details of the memory. And THEN install a different outcome and belief system where the pain and neglect were found.

Many therapies do this, including EMDR, IFS, EFT, and others.

As I am learning more about Memory Reconsolidation, one point is clear: You cannot get rid of the pain in a memory by giving the client in the present day what they needed in the past.

For instance, if they were neglected, giving a client a lot of attention will not negate the neglect.

So how?

I assume someone used AI to create this.

Pleasure, pain activate same part of brain β€” Harvard Gazette Scientists have found pain in the same brain circuits that give you pleasure. That wont make you cry until you laugh, but its likely to lead to better ways to measure and treat chronic pain.

For those who think BDSM is just a bunch of pervs, think again. This is solid research and shows that pain itself, when given a context where a person can choose the pain, transforms into a pleasurable thing.

Many know this.

Good boys and girls and others.
