The Beast in the Room

A local social issue.

It is the inherent nature of men to be sexually explicit creatures. It has been said that men think about sex every six seconds. The truth is that sex is always in the back of a mans mind, like a sleeping beast. Whenever an event occurs to wake this beast, he is difficult to stop. A very busy man can go days without thinking about sex. In the event that he is too busy to have time to think about sex, and he has not come accross any sort of awakener, or sexual stimulant; then, and only then is it possible to go a distance of time without thinking of sex. However, on the contrary, a man can exist in an environment soley comprised of sexually stimulating activity, and not once take his mind off of sex. So as we can see, the sexuality of a man, is a sleeping beast, waiting to be unleashed.

The social issue that I would like to address is the control a man has of his beastly sexual nature.

The beast is only awakened when sexual thoughts enter into the mind of a man. Either a man must randomly think about sex, reminisce on a sexually stimulating experience, (i.e. pornography, in video or photo, or personal sexual experiences) or come across a sexual opportunity. With a busy mind, it is near impossible for a man to just randomly think about sex or reminisce on a past experience. These events usually occur out of boredom, and cannot be helped. A man cannot control what his mind thinks of, however he can develop discipline to control these thoughts, before they awake the sleeping beast. Now in regards to the third, a present sexual opportunity. Now I am not refereing to an opportunity developed by the man, but offered by a second party.

More specifically the topic for discussion is now the influence of second party sexual opportunities on the sexual nature of a man, in regards to his sleeping beast.

As I sit here at the California State University of Long Beach, I watch as people pass. I am a people watcher. I love observing the behaviors of people. I love pondering about what it is that inspires thier actions, what it is that influnces their thoughts. But what I cant help but find extremely apparent, is the way that men and women look at eachother.

Stay tuned for "When checking him or her out, goes to far"...

We as a people were meant for relationship. We spend a large part of our life looking for that companion, that special someone. In addition physical attraction is a large part of that search. We cannot help but be physically attracted to other people. Some for obvioius reasons, others for obscure and not so obvious reasons. Regardless we check people out. Personally I will admit to checking girls out on occasion, as I surely have been checked out by at least, one girl, I hope. However, although I can admit to checking girls out, I try not to. First off no one wants to get caught. But more importantly, I do not want to awake that sleeping beast inside my head.

As I have sat here, I have observed a few males, checking out the "goods" on some rather decent looking females. However, it did not stop with a quick glance. In fact, it often continued with googly eyes, a slight licking of the lips and sexual facial expressions. Unfortunatly it was not a simple glance, but a beastly awakening.

Now we are addressed with the social issue. I know I know, man it has been so broad thus far. Fear not, readers. now we are down to the specifics. The social issue is this. In search of a "partner" it is necessary to be attractive. Unfortunatly this correlates to both men and women, as dressing in a sexually tempting way. Atractive, becomes sexually tempting. Now because women too have a desire for sex, it may not be as intense of a sleeping beast as men, but it is there, I am pointing fingers at both men and women for the way they physically portray themselves.

Now in being a man, I can speak with more experience from my personal point of view, but know it applies to everyone.

Note: Also a man in my book controls this sexual beast.

As a Man, I must tame this beast. This is not something that is done easily, nor can be done alone. It is with the help of people around, that I may be able to maintain a discipline. Let me then say this "GIRLS, YOU ARE NOT HELPING MEN TO STAY UNDER CONTROL". It is difficult as it is to stay pure of sexual activity, and it is being slammed in my face every day. Girls after girls are taunting me with thier low cut shirts and short skirts. How can we expect men to stay sexually under control when we are constantly poking thier sexual beast with a boiling hot metal rod? The beast only gets angry and ravages the country side in search of a sexual outlet. I am not here to get angry at girls, but to ask them for help. Girls, I want to know who you are. I want the opportunity to have a personal relationship with you. I dont want to merely view you as a potential sexual outlet. I care for you as a person, and not as a way to fulfill sexual satisfaction.

When taunting men with sex, we cannot blame them for an uncontrolable beast. We can only assist them with this unfortunatly permanant diagnosis. Girls, help me help you. I know there are plenty of males out there who could care less about sexual control, and are using you as a sexual outlet. Help the men that truly care about you. Understand their beastly nature. Assist them in taming their beast. And to men not only do I say, control your beastly nature, but I say
Understand that it is necessary to take into regards the sexual desires of the women as well. We need to help the women. Be curtious to thier natural desires. Be concious of the way that you dress.

Now to all, understand what you have read. Now go in peace.

“I am a women my screams are silent”


As a young developing man, I am learning a lot about the nature of that mysterious species, the opposite sex. Men are XX and women are XY. Basically an X contains ten chromosomes and a Y contains 200 chromosomes. It has always been a wonder as to why women have 190 more chromosomes than men, and how that is significant to their being. Women’s complex existence is filled with emotion. Where as men only have a basic understanding and use of emotions, women have an emotional system essentially ten times more complex of an emotional system. This is an amazing difference. Men tend to analyze a problem, then jump on in there, and get fix.it Women sense a problem, analyze it emotionally, for a period of time, fix it, and then more emotions. Women are constantly smothered with emotions. This complexity is not necessarily a bad or good, but a definite difference between men and women.
We live in a fallen world. Man treats each other like shit. We are absolutely horrible to people. Sure we can be really nice people, nice to our friends, our family. What about everyone else? We completely ignore strangers in passing. We knowingly cut each other off and finish with the finger. We yell at people who fault us, or worse shoot them. Where is the love? Where is this love to come from? What defines a man? What validity does this “definer have”? We should only care about these things if we consider our lives to have value. If we don’t value others then we will treat each other horribly. If we recognize this horrible mistreatment and desire a change it is because we value each other. What gives us value? Other people? Who are they to give value?
Ok this is going off onto really complex tangents. I will only provide the bottom line, or a “conclusion only” response. Other articles and writings will be left to debate these complex issues. Here I go…
Oh, wait. This article is about a horrible man that treats his wife like an old broken empty potato sack that is beaten around, abused and harassed. He talked about how he purposely cheated on her, hurt her in emotionally week spots, and even raped her after he got her intoxicated. The entire article talked about how horrible of a man he is. My response is going to be exactly what I know about manhood, personhood and where this all comes from, and why its relevant.
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1) “So God created man in His own image.” (Gen. 1:27) “Then the Lord God said, it is not good that man be alone.” (Gen. 2:18) “And the rib that the Lord God had taken from the man, He made into a woman.” (Gen. 2:22) “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.” (Gen. 2:24) Then the serpent deceives Eve and “And so when the women saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the true was to be desired to make someone wise, she took of its fruit and ate, she also gave some to her husband who was there with her, and he ate.” (Gen. 3:6) Even though Adam clearly new that God did not allow the two eating from this tree, he just stood by and watched as his wife was deceived by the serpent. Then he ate from the tree as well.
Adam did not care for his wife. He did not protect her from deception. A man must care for his wife. In a letter to the church of Ephasis, Paul, a man filled with the spirit of God said “husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church.” (Ephesians 5:28-29) We can see here what it means to be a man. If you read the article for this blog, then it is clear that this man and women have no idea what a it means to be a man, or a women. In Ephesians is also talks about a women taking care of her husband, much in the same way.
When it said “as Christ does the church”, it is pointing to Jesus Christ as the Ultimate example of a man. It says that a man cares for his wife as Christ for the church. Therefore we must look to the life of Christ for the definition of manhood.
The life of Jesus Christ is how a man should live his life. This is what it means to be a man. For details on how to become a true man, read Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. These are the first four books of the New Testament, found in any Bible. Thank you for your time. God Bless.

Blog 1 An indepth perspective for the analytical mind

Article in refference: http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/12.10/evolution.html?pg=1&topic=evolution&topic_set=

In 1776 the United States was officially established. It all began when religiously persecuted peoples left for the “new land” across the rigorous journey of the Atlantic. Seeking freedom from this religious persecution it came as no surprise that the “New land”, now known as the United States of America, was founded on religious ideals and beliefs. It was later decided that to have a government based upon the specific religious ideals of its founders would only be committing the same persecution as their former homeland. Therefore it was necessary to have a government that separated church and state.
In this “separation of church and state,” and as the citizens of the U.S fell away from the church looking to other religions, sciences and other ideals for answers; the “separation” became more of on opposition. This is more specifically noted in relevance the public education system. Even more specifically, in biology classes all over the U.S. it is the requirement to teach evolution as the biological theory most explaining the development of the world that we live in. However, a newer theory has began to surface in our public school system. This is the Intelligent Design Theory. This theory states that; the only explanation for the complexities of this world, is that an intelligent being created it. It has recently been debated whether or not to include this theory into 10th Grade Biology classes.
Two years ago, the Ohio state board of education, consisting of four members, two in favor of keeping Evolution as the sole theory taught in 10th grade biology curriculum, for their state, and two in favor of the Intelligent Design theory being added to the curriculum. The two evolutionists argued that Intelligent Design theory is un-testable by science, and therefore should not be included in the curriculum of a science class. The two in favor of intelligent design argued that in all fairness it is just as probable; and, as of more recent discoveries in the human genome and other complex bodily functions such as “the mammalian blood-clotting mechanism, the bacterial flagellum,” and perhaps more likely. They went on to say that these bodily functions “cannot be explained by natural selection“. Therefore it is necessary not to exclude evolution but include intelligent design. As the debate continued for hours upon hours, the main point of the two chairs in favor of intelligent design was made. The article stated

“The debate's two-on-two format, with its appearance of equal sides, played right into the ID strategy - create the impression that this very complicated issue could be seen from two entirely rational yet opposing views. "This is a controversial subject," Meyer told the audience. "When two groups of experts disagree about a controversial subject that intersects with the public-school science curriculum, the students should be permitted to learn about both perspectives. We call this the 'teach the controversy' approach."

It is was also stressed that intelligent design not be in reference to God, but a creator in as general term as possible.
Now I know what your thinking. You are probably coming in to this with some sort of bias. Either your for evolution, or your for Intelligent Design, or maybe teaching both in the classroom. Such a seemingly simple article is probably not going to change your mind. You have thought about this topic for hours on end. So then, I ask of you not to bring your bias into this mess. I am not here to debate whether evolution, or ID are correct theories. So now buckle your seat belts as we journey on a road with truth as our set destination. Will we make it? Stay tuned!
There is an absolute truth out there. We are all truth seekers. Therefore we are all in search of this absolute truth. Nobody believes in something they know is incorrect. Everyone feels that their beliefs are the right ones or the “absolute truth”. Because we know that there is only one absolute truth, that means best case, only one person can be right, or perhaps one group of people that share the same belief. We must recognize that there is no proven answer as of current. If we desire to know the truth, we must be open-minded. To close the minds of our youth in the tenth grade is unjust. To make the decision that evolution is what is right and must be taught is cheating our tenth graders out of an open-minded potential. Any educated person would tell you that they did not become this way by being stubbornly close-minded, but by being open to all ideas, then filtering and deciding which is the best. We are destroying the social freedoms of our children. It is absolutely necessary that both theories be consistently taught in every public tenth grade biology class across the nation.
The social issue here occurs when we bring our personal biases and force them exclusively to people (minors) that have no choice in the matter. If a choice exists, then bringing “enlightenment” to others about your personal beliefs is completely ok. We can see this issue reflected in every aspect of our lives.
I am in complete agreement with this article. It is absolutely necessary to teach both theories in a public education system. It is important that we work together for the common good. We will be faced with opposing views. Arguing conflicting views leads to anger and frustration, which in worse cases can end up in a deadly tragedy. Think about how this applies to every social issue. A currently hot topic is immigration. I have heard of peers complaining of “china towns” and “asian marts” being a conflict of interest to the U.S. “Speak English or get out” I recall some classmate stating in frustration. Another stated that we must keep our culture, that our heritage should never be lost. We should always remember where we are from. In the end whether we are an evolved species or created by an intelligent designer, we all come from the same place. Cultures and languages are man made. These should never be worth destroying each other over.
In the end, it important to be in search for the absolute truth. It is necessary to spread this truth when discovered. However when two opposing “truths” collide, live in love, and compromise. Through the equally valued opposing views of mans beginning we must compromise in the public school system, and teach both theories of evolution and intelligent design. In consistency with this countries foundation, we must allow the freedom of choice to exist in all people.
