Sartre , between boat and drink

Look at 'em!

What a hunk.

Here is another quote from Sartre that will weird you out:

"…here at its origin we grasp one of the most fundamental tendencies of human reality- the tendency to fill. We shall meet with this tendency again in the adolescent and in the adult. A good part of our life is passed in plugging up holes, in filling empty places, in realizing and symbolically establishing a plentitude. The child recognizes as the result of his first experiences that he himself has holes. When he puts his fingers in his mouth, he tries to wall up the holes in his face; he expects that his finger will merge with his lips and the roof of his mouth and block up the buccal orifice as one fills the crack in a wall with cement; he seeks again the density, the uniform and spherical plentitude of Parmenidean being; if he sucks his thumb, it is precisely in order to dissolve it, to transform it into a sticky paste which will seal the hole of his mouth. This tendency is certainly one of the most fundamental among those which serve as the basis for the act of eating; nourishment is the “cement” which will seal the mouth; to eat is among other things to be filled up.

It is only from this standpoint that we can pass on to sexuality. The obscenity of the feminine sex is that of everything which “gapes open.” It is an appeal to being as all holes are. In herself woman appeals to a strange flesh which is to transform her into a fullness of being by penetration and dissolution. Conversly woman senses her condition as an appeal precisely because she is “in the form of a hole.” This is the true origin of the Adler’s complex. Beyond any doubt her sex is a mouth and a voracious mouth which devours the penis- a fact which can easily lead to the idea of castration. The amorous act is the castration of the man; but this is above all because sex is a hole."

mmmmm…yummy!

Seriously, though, interesting take on the one who gets penetrated. Either we penetrate, or we get penetrated. Foucault.

Wow, I was going to bring up Adler’s idea about that and there was his name.

His idea about getting beaten sexually was that the person that was getting beaten is actually in charge. They are allowing you to beat them. They are making you beat them. So, it could be said that to allow penetration is to make someone penetrate you.

The French got obsessed with ontological genital metaphors because (I believe) of their intellectual’s class’s lust for Freud.

Foucault and Sartre clearly weren’t lesbians. The ‘either you penetrate or are penetrated’ rule only applies to relationships involving a phallus.

Nonetheless, once again a series of pictures seems to have sparked an interesting discussion.

détrop says ;

We all have natural mannerisms , when we dont want to hear something we block our ears , smell something , we block our nose , its interesting that you see this as our subconcious knowledge of the one , an unchanging, ungenerated, indestructible whole .

Although I see what you mean , it cant be explained fully in words , there is a limit . As Parmenides would agree .

But Even those who are hardened by life , those who are sceptical and capable of extreme brutishness , those who believe in nothing , will occasionally feel sad when they consider themselves as linked to everyone else .

The sadness comes from that persons inability to let go , and enjoy the immensity and truthfulness of the human spirit . It is a feeling that they cannot hold for too long , it upsets them , to embrace this feeling would mean a radical change of life , and they are not prepared for this , they are not strong enough .

To genuinely not feel hatred takes plenty of bravery . Men are,nt brave because they join the marines , or climb mount everest , they are brave when they throw themselves back into the immensity of the one . What good is a military man with several medals if he has hated his enemies ?
