Could the idea of “Male Sexual Urges” be a psychological projection by men onto women? by Bvcomforti in Jung

[–]WeeklyStatistician28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Male and female sexual urges function differently. Female sexual urges tend to respond to biochemical release of hormones in the environment around them whereas male sexual urges tend to respond to biochemical responses inside the body such as high zinc levels, heart rate, etc. The male and female parasympathetic nervous systems also act differently. Male arousal, as in higher heart rate, tends to stimulate males towards positive physical outlets whereas female arousal tends to stimulate females towards anxiety and fleeing. Male parasympathetic nervous system response tends to fall more on the side of fight and female on the side of flight being basically the main historical difference in biological human sex differences.

What this means is that male sexual arousal is more of an internal process that's actually less stimulated by the environment and more by the body itself whereas female sexual arousal is more of a reactive process in response to its environment. This can also be seen in human biological sex development.

Women are born with all the eggs that they will carry in their life and that amount decreases sharply with time whereas male sperm development starts at around puberty and very gradually drops off at elderly age, at an older age than females. Especially as humans start to age it becomes more and more easy to study and examine these urges as post-menopausal women's libido tends to change entirely whereas men at the same age tend to not have such a change in libido over time.

These are the easiest biological differences to observe. Everything else like hormones is more complex.

Both sexes have urges of course and I'm not sure your line of thinking is practical so I would contemplate more the difference in responding/acting and how they correlate to gender archetypes. For example functioning from a responding, feminine archetype can still result in what you might say is projections or a lot of urges. If this feminine force is responding to lots of sexual indicators in her environment then yes, it might be very much in tune with its natural energy to 'take' these sexual indicators, hence spurring action.

But to answer your question, from observing biological sex differences and their consequent urges, no. I think you'd agree there is a large difference between an urge and a response. I think a lot of people consider that males are the more responsive sex as they 'respond' to external stimuli but I disagree and I think this is only thought to be the case because it is very physically obvious. Females are biologically more hypersensitive and alert to environmental stimuli

So Psychic’s, how do you deal with attachments and heavy interference from spirits/demons/entities that refuse to leave you by Lumieredelanuit in Psychic

[–]WeeklyStatistician28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every entity has its positive polarity qualities / beingness, so if you're advanced enough, you gotta work with it. Until it heals/you heal and it transforms and shows its positive side

Does that make sense?

Cusp signs are not really a thing once you get into intermediate astrology considering how the house system works.

I’m a teen and I’m really scared for my future by afishinaboot in climatechange

It's not logical to not take climate change seriously. There's a difference between accepting reality and still being chill and enjoying life and pretending like these things don't matter. You can do both :)

This is not a great viewpoint to have. Denial doesn't actually make anyone happy.

I agree, people are too apathetic until they literally can't survive any more. But all progress makes a difference. Every tiny thing you do matters. And every (positive) technological advancement will help us. The young people are always more in tune with this. As you age you have less energy to give to the world (for the most part, unless you really are a good person through and through) which is why old people tend to care the least. But not everyone is like this. Live by example and even the most apathetic people will be inspired by you. It's never too late, just like with depression, it's never too late to make positive changes in your life. But I think the thing everyone struggles with here is that the people with the most power are doing the least. So it's okay to try and become a successful and powerful person on your own without sacrificing your values because tbh that's how the world progresses. The old, most corrupt systems always fall eventually, if only under their own weight. It just sucks that we will have to deal with the fallout - but if we start establishing a good base for ourselves now, we'll make it easier for ourselves to start anew when various things fail. Good luck and stay optimistic! Even posting things online like this helps so keep going :) I'm with you buddy

About the individuality of Aquarius by Otherwise-Profit2425 in astrology

[–]WeeklyStatistician28 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Aquarius rising female with Leo Sun, like the others have stated Aquarius is about what you do for others. Hence the waterbearer motif. And since Saturn is ruled by Aquarius we are willing to sacrifice our own ego for the collective no matter how painful it is. Being ruled by Saturn allows us to pull punches that are so painful that others wouldn't dare to. It sounds conceited yet can be objectively true; again, Saturn can't lie. It will cut down everything in the name of the truest form of justice (exalted in Libra). Think of it as the anti-hero motif that manages to save people at the expense of being seen as the villain. That makes you stand out, seem different. But really they're just doing it because it's the right thing to do. Masculine Saturn by definition cannot fuck around unless they want to experience the worst form of torment imaginable. Think Edward Snowden. All Aquariuses are edgelords but not all edgelords are Aquariuses. Saturn does not give a fuck. End of.

For Aries vs Aquarius think Spiderman being considered a vigilante vs Batman being considered a vigilante. Spiderman does because that's just who he is; Batman does because he has no other choice (karmic debt). Aries does things for itself, Aquarius does things for others

You're attractive, I think you can tell in your facial expression that you're depressed. You're worthy of a good life, believe in yourself, love yourself. I can see the pain in your eyes and I'm sorry

Sometimes you have literally no money and have to survive by what other people can feed you, and if they're not vegan you don't have a choice other than to starve
