    can't be a problem philosophically or otherwise if I never have it soooooooo
    i wonder if any philosopher has written about the existential implications of being suffocatingly unembraced :(

    I recently read the work of Frans de Waal, who describes how Bonobo's (one of our close primate relatives) engage in all sorts of sexual practices purely for their enjoyment, including masturbation (and mutual masturbation), oral sex as well as homosexual practices. Also, they often engage in sex with each other without ending with orgasm, so it's just for fun/pleasure and as a social interaction. Of course, human beings are not bonobos. But the idea that sex (as an instinct) is necessarily about reproduction is false. Bonobos are also polymorphously perverse.

      It's because male bonobos biologically have larger testicles so they mate in groups. Biological determinism is at play in the situation you describe.

    Can you create a video about on how to read philosophical books? What is your strategy to fully grasp the contents.

    It feels like this unraveling, understanding, demystifying of life somehow reduces the enjoyment of it. Like exiting the matrix and just staring at code all day. I’m curious how you feel in regard to this? Do you ever wish you could go back and never discover philosophy?

      You should watch the TEDx talk "Time, for a change" by Ole Peters. He is the leading scientist behind Ergodicity Economics, which is an emerging science with MASSIVE implications for the study of income inequality in societies. That will be a truth that excites you. As much as I love philosophy and psychoanalysis, and as much insight as they provide in some ways, I feel that in other ways it is a little limited in its navigational power. At least for me. Although, Gabriel Tupinamba in his book "the Desire of Psychoanalysis" (which Zizek sincerely praises in the forward) makes the point that Psychoanalysis has access to it's own universality, which should not be presupposed to be a philosophical universality. That is to say, the categories of "Psychotic, Neurotic, Pervert, Phobic" etc. do not define a priori philosophical stances, so if they have any universality it will be of psychoanalytic import (often clinical) rather than INHERENTLY philosophical, like Zizek has claimed. That isn't to say that these Psychoanalytic universalities have nothing to say about philosophy--they absolutely do. And that's the point Zupancic makes in her book, for which Tupinamba has a glowing review that includes a great comparison between her work and Zizek's.
      But as for the critique of neoclassical Economics and the relevance it has to income inequality, I'm only sharing it because it sounds like you may be sympathetic to myself and Tupinamba's view that Psychoanalysis has to be willing to work alongside other disciplines when seeking solutions to social and individual issues rather than presupposing that it supercedes them in some inherent way. Or maybe I read your comment wrong. But either way, with philosophy, I feel like at a certain point you can't really go any further, and that seems to be a sentiment you were expressing.😢

    You were fed a lie as a kid;
    You were never given any explicit coordinates as to how to live.
    And the source of that insecurity roots all the way back to being a kid

      Childhood doesn't prepare you for adulthood. Nothing does. Just like nothing prepared you for childhood.
      Maturity is to know and experience the difference between the 2. A child believes that childhood is preparation for adult life. It is not. This is an illusion.

      Você me leva a lembrar que Freud não atoa era fascinado por Moisés. Como ele, Freud se considerava um revolucionario; no caso, como a cura da doença CULTURA ou, pelo menos, como minorar tanto sofrimento burro e inútil.
      Pessoalmente, acredito que ainda não conseguimos lidar com a sexualidade senão, em parte, pela arte; quanto a religião e filosofia acredito que estamos masturbando.

    Sex is about getting a sense of self-worth.
