Cultivate Love

So I'm looking to cultivate love and compassion in my life. I figure there is a simple process to attain that goal.

1. Stop being an asshole.
In other words, don't hurt people on purpose. Gossiping, fighting, judging, criticizing, being an all around jerk. Manipulating, cheating, lying, using others. Just stop it.

2. Be considerate of others
Think before you act. Determine if your words or actions will cause harm to another person. This is to combat actions that unintentionally hurt others.

3. Live a life of love
Everything you do should be for the benefit of others. To alleviate their suffering and help them reach their potential.

Playing straight

So a show that doesn't deserve to be named on my blog (one that I watch as if I were a meth-head) got me thinking about female sexuality.

The main character of the show is supposedly bisexual. People often question her bisexuality because she could be acting this way to gain attention.
Most of us have had the pleasure/displeasure of seeing the girls dancing on the bar and giving each other an exaggerated snog. Usually this is just a wanna-be pornstar mating call. "hello guys, look at us, we're sexy, we'll fulfill your fantasies."
Then there are the women who will have threesomes in hopes of keeping their man interested.

Point being, there are many reasons a woman will engage in sexual behavior with another woman; some of them have nothing to do with genuine sexual attraction.

That got me wondering about the many reasons women are sexual with men but may not really be into it.

There's this mythical phenomenon called Lesbian Bed Death. It's when two women get into a relationship and after a while they stop having sex.
I found this funny because it sounds the same as what happens in many heterosexual marriages.
When there are problems in the bedroom, many people like to point to low sex drive in the women.
I wonder if she was ever sexually attracted to him in the first place.

Women get married for a lot of reasons; maybe I haven't been paying attention, but, sexual attraction doesn't seem to be high on that list of reasons.

I know this sounds like the whole "all women are bisexual" cliche; but it's not.
I wonder if women aren't looking for mr. right but mr. good enough, in terms of sexual attraction.

It's more about women who use sex as a tool to get other things they want. This behavior clouds ideas about women's sexuality. That many women's sexual activity have little to do with their sexual attraction.
To balance it out, Men seem to be able to have sex with anything with legs and an accessible hole, if the need is strong enough. It's well within the nature, of some men, to have sex with a woman that he has no interest in (some women can do this too).

I'm not judging, I'm just making an observation.

And yes, I know that plenty of women who get moist just looking at their man. Great.
