Good evening
Ladies and Gents.

Due to a request earlier today for such a thread I have started one.
It would prolly be best to run it AA style.

I'll start my Name is Buyeye and I've been off the tic for a whole week.:D(I've never actually used tic but you can call your addiction whatever you like )I actually had a few none of them hard drugs though.

Anyways thanks for having a look.

For advice on addiction please post in this thread:http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php/185755-Addiction-advice-thread/page24

Now regarding the effects of the media on sex:
I don't want everyone to tell me about how bad parents were or the teachers. I propose that if there wasn't so much sexually explicit/provocative stuff on TV or billboards then people would not have super increased sex drives .

"Over the past several decades television has become a large influence on people’s attitudes and behaviors. “Television has been found to reflect and possibly shape the attitudes, values, and behaviors of young people” (Greeson, 1991, p. 1908). Television has become so influential that it serves as a teacher, often providing a common source of information for young adults (Chapin, 2000). The role of media in teens’ lives has raised concerns in many areas; however, aggression/violence and sexuality are two key areas of research. The current study focuses on the relationship between TV viewing and sexual attitudes and perceptions."

"As society accepts increasingly explicit sexual materials, no one is Repeated exposure to sexual violence can lead to desensitization toward violence against women in general and greater acceptance of rape myths. However, the nature of the portrayal also matters. If the woman being assaulted is portrayed as being terrorized and brutalized, desensitizing effects on normal men are much less than if she is portrayed as being aroused and/or achieving orgasm through being attacked. There is nothing arousing or exciting about being raped in real life, and messages to the contrary do not help teenage boys understand the reality of how to relate to girls and women.
Finally, most of us believe that other people are more influenced by advertising (Gunther & Thorson, 1992) and news coverage (Gunther, 1991; Perloff, 1989) than we are; this is the third-person effect (Perloff, this volume). The same is true about the perceived effects of sexual media (Gunther, 1995); we believe it immune from their reach. The influence is much more far-reaching that the adolescent boy’s transient titillation from looking at a Playboy centerfold. What we learn about sexuality from the media forms a large part of what sexuality means to us.

I think it's random, and I am still unsure what this thread is about. You are a bit unclear sometimes.

Kidding around is great, don't get me wrong, but maybe not in a thread that appears to have serious intentions?

Not sure. I am very confused.
 
If I must then....

I haven't killed anyone in over 4 months now - to be exact 4 months and 7 days to this day. I do suffer from cold night sweats and profuse sexual arousement during ungodly hours of the morning. However this comes and goes.

Sometimes these urges intensifies greatly during the course of the day. I handle this by killing a small animal like a bird, mice, rats or stray dogs and cats. For this purpose I breed with sewer rats from Sea Point. So far so good...
