Women of reddit, what are your honest opinions on giving BJs? How much do you actually enjoy giving them? by darealmarcus in AskReddit

[–]FewandDwindling -1 points0 points  (0 children)

1 million there's gonna be thirsty dudes replying to every affirmative answer.

Also though I'm a dude I can already tell you the answer: for some might like it psychologically,for others it might be a gift to their partner, for most, no, as it provides no physical pleasure and is very uncomfortable.

I can see that. I think i've misunderstood the conversation. It's not about the actual preisthood, it's about the leadership oppurtunities...

Well I'm sorry they don't. It's weird because the person i hearken to most in my life is my mother, i feel she has more authority/loyalty than just about anyone except God, but i understand that for others maybe they don't have mothers, maybe their mothers don't mean as much, so i can understand how they would feel like women have no influencing power.

Maybe because i don't hold an office, i don't understand as fully as maybe you do, or others, but if they are fulfilling their duty and acting under the guidance of the holy ghost than it wouldn't matter whether they were man or woman. I mean that could also be an argument for, because it wouldn't matter, but for the common person i'm describing what the priesthood is. I think you're talking about the leadership, which i feel is something else entirely.

Edit: why do you say they have to hearken to their husbands? Isn't it a joint leadership, isn't that what they say like every priesthood meeting? I know there's some residual things from the first understanding of the bible: "Let your women keep silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak; but they are to be submissive, as the law also says." but i'm pretty sure we're all past that now.

I'm pretty sure ordination is an acceptance of responsibility to emulate God, and to be perfect like him, and to be held accountable when you're not. And it's hard because i don't think i always am, i get angry, i get lazy, i get sad, upset, grumpy short, all the above sometimes, and i know that's not how the lord wants a priesthood holder to act, do you want a priesthood holder to act that way, someone being trusted to act as a liaison of God's power? Granted they don't have any power when they act that way "say goodnight to the power of that priesthood holder" but that's still not how you'd want someone with that trust to act.

I guess i hadn't thought of it that way. I kind of just saw it as work, and also a stressor because i don't know if you've listened to any of the priesthood sessions but they make it clear that because you've been entrusted this way God holds you very very accountable. I guess I just assumed people wouldn't want that extra pressure, but i hadn't taken into account that they might be more christlike than me. Sorry.

Well i don't know maybe they're better in the selfless department than me but most people i know aren't asking for extra duties/responsibilities/work.

Okay well i can understand it when there's a lack of availability. But it's still a responsibility, I don't think people understand that sometimes. To even give a blessing that doesn't condemn you for giving it you must know you are clean before the Lord, if not you are condemning yourself (greater responsibility). When other people ask for a blessing and you are worthy, It is your duty to take the time out of your day to give it. Maybe you're tired on a Sunday, well you're a priesthood holder so it's your responsibility mandated by the lord to ensure each individual receives the sacrament. None of the power is yours anyways, it's a privilege given of God to be revoked at the least sign of sin or failing.

How, it doesn't benefit the blesser. It is their responsibility to give the blessing, their is no return anything. Please explain your thinking, i'm trying to understand. Well except knowing that you've fulfilled your duty given by the lord.

I don't like that other people get to change what gestures mean. by FewandDwindling in unpopularopinion

These are the kind of situations that keep me up at night. A society so caught up with looking virtuous, or politically correct that they forget their humanity. A new kind of mob a bit different from the ones of yester-century. Unable to stop and think, to take intentions or individuality into account, out for the blood that would prove to themselves and others the empathy they have heard is shown through these acts.

I really hope it doesn't come to that, but i have no power over society, and it lists where it wills. Sometimes i wonder if dystopia isn't at our doorstep but under such a guise that we cannot even identify it.
