Harvard Scientist Reveals the Shocking Impact of Watching Porn One of the major impacts of the Internet is the widespread availability of porn. It’s incredibly easy to stream it for free, yet according to a Harvard scientist it may be doing damage to your health. Kevin Majeres is a psychiatrist specializing in cognitive-behavioral therapy and is a faculty member of Harvard Medical School. Writing in a blog post, Majeres breaks down how the brain works and what happens during repeated exposure to pornography. He explains it in such logical terms that you’ll probably think again before succumbing to the temptation of watching porn. Majeres begins with the mating patterns discovered in rats: “Scientists have discovered that if you place a male rat in a cage with a receptive female, they will mate; but once done, the male rat will not mate more times, even if the female is still receptive. Pornography’s power comes from the way it tricks the man’s lower brain. Here’s what Majeres has to say about the role of dopamine in this process: Majeres continues:

Comment remettre l'homme au centre de la technologie : le manifeste de Jaron Lanier « Que se passe-t-il quand nous arrêtons de façonner la technologie et que la technologie commence à nous façonner ? » C’est la question centrale qui anime le livre « You are not a gadget, a manifesto » de Jaron Lanier, publié par Alfred A. Knopf. > Qui est Jaron Lanier ? Pionnier et père de la réalité virtuelle, classé par le Times, pour l'année 2010, parmi les 100 penseurs les plus influents au monde, Jaron Lanier a principalement travaillé sur l’interface et l’interaction entre la machine et l’homme. Dès la première page de son livre, Jaron Lanier annonce ses intentions : son livre est un manifeste, celui d’un témoin de l’émergence du Web et des changements radicaux qu’il a entrainé aussi bien pour le commerce, que pour la pensée, l’art ou la culture. Attention néanmoins, Jaron Lanier n’est absolument pas technophobe : « Cela m’ennuie que je sois parfois classé comme étant anti-technologie alors que je suis en réalité un véritable technologiste. » > Un véritable manifeste
Taboo A taboo is a vehement prohibition of an action based on the belief that such behavior is either too sacred or too accursed for ordinary individuals to undertake, under threat of supernatural punishment.[1][2] Such prohibitions are present in virtually all societies.[1] The word has been somewhat expanded in the social sciences to strong prohibitions relating to any area of human activity or custom that is sacred or forbidden based on moral judgment and religious beliefs.[citation needed] "Breaking a taboo" is usually considered objectionable by society in general, not merely a subset of a culture. Etymology[edit] Not one of them would sit down, or eat a bit of any thing.... On expressing my surprise at this, they were all taboo, as they said; which word has a very comprehensive meaning; but, in general, signifies that a thing is forbidden.[4] When any thing is forbidden to be eaten, or made use of, they say, that it is taboo.[5] Examples[edit] Function[edit] Modernity[edit] See also[edit]
When Should Parents Talk To Kids About Porn? - Dr. Marty Klein When Should Parents Talk To Kids About Porn? That’s the question an interviewer asked me today. The answer is: now. Here are some key points of the interview. * There is no “The Sex Talk” with kids. * You don’t want porn to be the topic of the first talk you have with your kids about sex. * Porn is part of the larger, long-term series of conversations about sex we have with our kids. * Porn isn’t made for kids, and we don’t want them watching it. * If you’re embarrassed to talk to your kids about sex or porn, say “I’m embarrassed.” For more about enhancing porn literacy in young people (and reducing marital conflict about porn), see my new book or blog.
Photonic Fence | Intellectual Ventures Malaria – a parasitic disease transmitted by mosquitoes – kills nearly 1 million people each year. Bed nets and insecticides have helped keep the disease in check in many parts of the world, but more tools are needed to limit contact between humans and mosquitoes. Intellectual Ventures’ photonic fence invention adds a new layer of protection by coupling low-cost camera and laser technology with software developed at Intellectual Ventures Laboratory. The device creates a virtual fence that detects insects as they cross its plane. Scientists at IV Lab have developed a working prototype of the photonic fence to demonstrate its feasibility.
Hypergamy - Wikipedia Republished // WIKI 2 Hypergamy (colloquially referred to as "marrying up") is a term used in social science for the act or practice of marrying someone who is wealthier or of higher caste or social status than oneself.[citation needed] The word "hypogamy"[1] typically refers to instances of the inverse occurring: marrying a person of lower social class or status. Prevalence Forms of hypergamy have been practiced throughout history, including in India, modern China[2] and imperial China, ancient Greece, the Ottoman Empire and feudal Europe.[3] Today most people marry their approximate social equals, and in much of the world hypergamy is felt[by whom?] Mating preferences and hypergamy Saint-Paul (2008) argued that, based on mathematical models, human female hypergamy occurs because women have greater lost mating opportunity costs from monogamous mating (given their slower reproductive rate and limited window of fertility), and thus must be compensated for this cost of marriage.

Porn Makes Men Terrible in Bed I hate porn. I don’t hate it because it’s immoral, or because it often explores “unusual” tastes, or because it has uncovered a bestial side of humans we pretended didn’t exist. I hate porn because fucking men who have watched a lot of porn is the worst. And, the real humans who eventually have sex with suffer for it. Most porn is about watching women pretend to enjoy sex acts that are unpleasant to them. More than that, however, is men become accustomed to watching women pretending to be turned on. To add to the mind-numbing process, women are never able to experience sexual pleasure because of the continuous cutting during sex scenes. I speak from personal experience when I say to be in the middle of a hardcore sex act with several actors at the same time and told to “freeze” in position for several minutes while lighting or cameras are adjusted is extremely painful and degrading. Shelly Lubben describing the filming of porn ‘Is that all?’ ‘No,’ he said. ‘No’, he grunted. ‘Are we done?’
Geospatial Revolution Videos Home / Geospatial Revolution Videos The Geospatial Revolution Project is an integrated public service media and outreach initiative about the world of digital mapping and how it is changing the way we think, behave, and interact, produced by Penn State Public Broadcasting. In 2009, Penn State Public Broadcasting, licensee of Penn State University, began to educate and engage the public and policy-makers about geospatial developments and applications with their Geospatial Revolution Project, “an integrated public media and outreach initiative about the world of digital mapping and how it is changing the way we think, behave, and interact.” This short video offers an excellent overview of how geospatial imaging and GIS technologies work together in life- and world-changing ways.

Black Friday (shopping) Term for the Friday following Thanksgiving in the United States We ask you, humbly: don't scroll away. Hi reader. Thank you! The day after Thanksgiving has been regarded as the beginning of the United States Christmas shopping season since 1952.

Brain Structure & Functional Connectivity Associated w/Porn Consumption Importance Since pornography appeared on the Internet, the accessibility, affordability, and anonymity of consuming visual sexual stimuli have increased and attracted millions of users. Based on the assumption that pornography consumption bears resemblance with reward-seeking behavior, novelty-seeking behavior, and addictive behavior, we hypothesized alterations of the frontostriatal network in frequent users. Objective To determine whether frequent pornography consumption is associated with the frontostriatal network. Design, Setting, and Participants In a study conducted at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Berlin, Germany, 64 healthy male adults covering a wide range of pornography consumption reported hours of pornography consumption per week. Pornography consumption was associated with neural structure, task-related activation, and functional resting-state connectivity.
