Summary

The web content discusses the importance of embracing joy and pleasure, particularly through orgasms, as a means to cope with the world's suffering, emphasizing the limitless potential for female orgasms and their health benefits.

Abstract

The article titled "Joyful Participation (Like Orgasming) In This World Of Suffering" presents a profound exploration of how one can find joy amidst life's challenges. It suggests that embracing pleasure, such as orgasming, can be a powerful tool for mental, emotional, and physical well-being. The author reflects on personal contemplations about what they would do if they had only five minutes to live, concluding that orgasms, along with reflective life moments and expressing love, are vital experiences. The piece highlights the scientific view that women can potentially experience unlimited orgasms and outlines the numerous health benefits associated with them, including increased brain activity, pain alleviation, anti-aging effects, stress relief, enhanced intimacy, and improved sleep. The author advocates for self-care and prioritizing personal needs to maintain health in a stressful world, with a particular emphasis on women taking charge of their pleasure. The article also references Joseph Campbell, Bob Marley, and a TED Talk to reinforce the message of self-love and liberation from mental constraints.

Joyful Participation (Like Orgasming) In This World Of Suffering

Probably some of the best mental, emotional and physical health advice you have heard in your life

As my monthly cycle took me on yet another eventful hormonal ride, I contemplated what I would do if I found out that a nuclear bomb had detonated and I had only 5 minutes left to live.

I immediately thought of the three things:

  • Orgasming
  • Laying down while replaying the best moments of my life in my mind with a smile on my face
  • Writing a love letter to my loved ones

If I was with my partner, which I wasn’t then, I would just want to hold each other.

I ruled out orgasming because I think I’d be too distracted for those last 5 minutes (30 minutes would be a different story) and couldn’t choose between writing a love letter or taking deep breaths of reflection.

However, this mental and emotional exploration made me remember 3 extremely valuable things:

One is a quote by Joseph Campbell-

Participate joyfully in the sorrows of the world.

We cannot cure the world of sorrows, but we can choose to live in joy.

The second is the following lyrics from one of my favorite Bob Marley songs:

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our mind. Have no fear for atomic energy ’cause none of them can stop the time.

Last, but not least, I remembered many of the incredible benefits of orgasms and how women have the unique ability to have limitless orgasms.

Designing well-controlled studies of orgasms is difficult, and counting the number of orgasms people have is even more challenging. As a result, there is no scientifically accepted limit on the number of orgasms a female can have. However, in theory, there is no limit.

I have never found this limit. I just say to myself or my partner,

“Thank you…I’ve had enough for now.”

The following article claims that orgasms:

  • Increase brain activity
  • Alleviate pain (I can attest to this!)
  • Prevent aging skin (say what?!)
  • Relieve stress
  • Increase intimacy
  • Improve quality of sleep (so true)

I’ll be completely honest…when I’m unhappy, lethargic and/or in pain, asking someone else to bring me to orgasm is not an option.

Bringing myself to orgasm is not something I get excited about, however, it always helps!

The key is allowing yourself to relax and let your stress be carried away along with your body.

With all the stress going on in the world these days, it’s vital that we keep our minds, bodies and emotions in as healthy a state as possible, which tends to be much easier said that done.

It is possible though, and what better way to fight our enemies than by caring enough about ourselves to protect ourselves by prioritizing our needs for a better world .

Ladies, I’m especially talking to you!

F. Leonora Solomon, thank you so much for this:

It was important to me that she rushed home and relished in an encounter with herself. To show that she loved herself, because that was essential in how she pursued online dating. That she had the desire to love and please herself, which is essential if you want to be with someone else. To me, if she starts here, then I feel confident that she knows what she wants, and that she has the love to give.

The following is one of my all-time favorite TED Talks.

I commend this women for her courage and the ideas that she’s spreading.
