Spirituality and the Sexual Man

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE, CELIBACY, SEX

If I thought that I could do any good by being celibate, I would be. And, I would be so busy doing good that I wouldn’t miss the tawdry appeal of sex. What if I gave a party and no one came? I don't want to develop and promote an idea only to discover that I am the only one on the planet who cares about it. I don't want to be sentenced to solitary confinement by celibacy. If sex connects me more intimately to others, I might want it to be part of my life.

I understand that homosexuality and Christian Science are mutually exclusive. Aren’t they? I have no desire to reform Christian Science. I’m happy with it the way Mrs. Eddy founded it. I am neither qualified nor motivated to take on the task of reforming a great, worldwide religious movement. However, even as a homosexual, I have always thought that there must be a place for the likes of me in Christian Science. I am by no means an exemplar, healer, or teacher. But, I have gotten a lot of good from the teachings of Christian Science and its Church all my life. I'm in.

As a young man, I began to understand that, even if I did everything by the book, I would not be received into the Christian Science community of healers and religious teachers. I began to understand that my yearning to serve God and man was not enough to qualify me for that exalted company. So be it. I was disappointed. But, it may have been for the best. I still love Christian Science and Christian Scientists. I’m a member of The Mother Church. I read the Lesson every day. Christian Science is my healer and guide. I wouldn’t want to live without it.

Write About It

HOMOSEX, MASTURBATION, ART

I want to have sex with attractive men, but I’ve never been good at making those sexual connections. I don’t know what it takes. I don’t know how to do it. That’s why I hang out on Chaturbate or call Bate Nation (712-832-8320 [401315]). I want guys to know that I’m available for sex. I want guys to know that I want it. Not that I’m willing to do it with anyone, but there are guys out there I’m very willing to do it with, and I want them to know that I’m interested. The sexual marketplace. The homosexual marketplace. Cut to the chase. Get down to business.

I don’t want to play games. I don’t want to go through the process of making friends with a guy only to find out that he has no sexual interest in me. Not that all of my friendships have to be sexual. That’s not the point. That would be exhausting. But, I would rather start off knowing that a guy wants to have sex with me, and that friendship is a possibility. I don’t want to have to marry a guy to have sex with him. I don’t want sex with guys to be a big fucking deal. I want to hook up with the guys I like. If fun sex with guys leads to friendship, that’s a welcome bonus.

I like masturbating and writing about it and the guys I masturbate with. I like talking and writing about guys jerking off together. It’s not religion, but I like it a lot. I want to find attractive guys to masturbate with, and live to tell the tale.

There are other things I’m interested in. I have lots of interests, some of which are worth writing about and others not. Sex is almost always worth writing about. Everyone is interested in sex. Almost everyone is curious about others’ sexuality. It’s a human trait. Have you got a minute? Let me share a thing or two with you. I might even tell you more than you want to know.

Intelligence Alliance

BUSINESS, INTELLIGENCE, POWER, CULTURE

Steve Jurvetson is a partner in the venture capital firm DFJ (Draper Fisher Jurveston). Elon Musk is the CEO of the space transport company SpaceX and Tesla Motors. They are men with brains, or a certain type of brain, who have acquired lots of money and power. They represent the silicon culture elite. Combinations and cliques. Groups. Organizations. Corporations. Intelligence alliances. Venture capital. Capital venture. Money power. Culture.

Wealthy, powerful men can afford to support and promote bad ideas. Having one kind of intelligence doesn’t necessarily translate into having other kinds of intelligence. The success of one venture doesn’t guarantee the success of every venture taken by the same intelligence alliance. What happens to the rest of us? What happens to those of us who are not recognized or included in the ruling alliance? What is our value? Who fights for us? What is my place and purpose in a world run by intellectual, political, and financial alliances to which I don’t belong? Is there anything I can do to gain acceptance and participation in the ruling class? Do I want to belong to the ruling class? Is the goal of my little life to rule the world? What do I want to do? What do I want to accomplish with my little life?

We are not all geniuses. We do not all want to be geniuses. We cannot all qualify to belong to an intelligence alliance of geniuses. Intelligence alliances rule the world, but they are neither omniscient nor omnipotent. Can I rule my little corner of the world with my limited intelligence? Do I have the power to rule my own life, even though I will never participate in a ruling alliance? Do I want to be a power broker? No. Do I qualify to be a power broker? No. What can powerless men and women do to have happy, healthy lives?
