Reminds me of the following Nietzsche quote...

“My solitude doesn’t depend on the presence or absence of people; on the contrary, I hate who steals my solitude without, in exchange, offering me true company.”

Struck a chord in me when I saw it many years ago.

Why hate? Nietzsche is the atheistic existentionalist of which the religious Kierkegaard created. I never could get into Nietzsche because he had an ego that overtook his writing, whereas Kierkegaard was subtle in his explanation of the trivial things but hit you hard with the spiritual and moral issues of a persons being.

Why hate...? I'm assuming it was rhetorical. I'm afraid my intellect isn't developed enough to be able to digest philosophical thoughts, statements, musings, etc, beyond the surface meaning. I have briefly read some Nietzsche, at a friends house, while waiting for him and his wife to get ready to go out. I must admit it didn't make much sense to me. But why hate? Would you be questioning it if he said love instead? I find both words are over-used to the point of lacking the true intention and feeling. With regard to that exact quote, it brought an amorphous, nebulous, vague direction of thought/feeling I had held and matched it to words that my monkey brain could understand.

It is an ego trip to hate someone who breaks your solitude.

I'd say it depends on how it's broken.

Temptation is the one thing I cannot resist.

As he proceeds to tear-down in front of his buddies, cause he was bored.

It should be, what one tries to resist.

That quote is also a quote by Oscar Wilde. His last words were supposed to have been: either those curtains go or I go.

The later part of his life was tragic.

I guess the curtains were pretty bad too.

His "crimes" were not considered legal in most countries until the late twentieth century and in some cases are still illegal. The next big wall to fall in this area is to make beastiality legal, if you can prove no animals were harmed during the video. This is one prickly legal snarl I am sure many are waiting for the snarl to be unraveled. If anyone is wondering, there is human to animal sex (beastiality) online and easily found but I have not in fact watched. This is one sexual fetish I am against on asthetic and other grounds. Assuming it is illegal in fact, how can it be online? Does anyeone want to click the links and tell us.

Consenting adults should be free. Consenting adults with inanimate objects should be free too, but maybe get therapists if it becomes a social problem (ie. always humping mud or apple pies or sniffing shoes in public).

There's no shortage of photos animals humping/raping other species. I'd say consenting species..., but that's a grey line I don't even want to come close to with a thousand foot pole. I wouldn't care so much about the snarl if I suspected there were fewer beastie people than trans people, ie. extremely rare and fringe - but I couldn't say or even guess if this is true. People in general too often let me down.

Crossing that big grey line to other things, like kids, is IMO way over the line.

I understand how some might find all fetishes a big ugly mess, but they are not all automatically related and there are distinctions. Gay men may be different but may not be into boys, or animals, or being fem - though a minority may be. And there's a huge difference between being curious a few times and being "gay" as a lifelong identity.

They say a few times is exploration but more that fifty is a commitment. I don;t know where I was going with that topic but thanks for the options. How about yours for Tokyo Olympics with four people throwing away the cookie cutter and planning a trip of your own that does not include 20,000 trained guides who speak Engllish. Not necessarily illegal but something different.Thanks for helping me out of a tight corner. The computer has been drinking. r.

Who says that? Fifty seems like a lot, even to me. Maybe not to gay guys I guess. And what does fifty count? I'm not even sure of what defines "sex".

It was intended as a joke when I heard it and that was the way the teller intended it.
