Why Sex and Candor Don't Mix

H. L. Mencken weighs in:

In the relations between the sexes all beauty is founded upon romance, all romance is founded upon mystery, and all mystery is founded upon ignorance, or, failing that, upon the deliberate denial of the known truth. To be in love is merely to be in a state of perceptual anaesthesia—to mistake an ordinary young man for a Greek god or an ordinary young woman for a goddess. But how can this condition of mind survive the deadly matter-of-factness which sex hygiene and the new science of eugenics impose? How can a woman continue to believe in the honor, courage and loving tenderness of a man after she has learned, perhaps by affidavit, that his haemoglobin count is 117%, that he is free from sugar and albumen, that his blood pressure is 112/79 and that his Wassermann reaction is negative? . . . Moreover, all this new-fangled “frankness” tends to dam up, at least for civilized adults, one of the principal well-springs of art, to wit, impropriety. What is neither hidden nor forbidden is seldom very charming. If women, continuing their present tendency to its logical goal, end by going stark naked, there will be no more poets and painters, but only dermatologists and photographers. . . .

  1. Reminds me of these new “dating naked” shows cropping up on cable. What the heck is that about? Of course the naughty bits are digitally obscured. Who is watching these shows? People who are too dumb to watch Honey Boo-Boo? If you want to be depressed, flip through the entire cable lineup from lowest to highest once a day.

    If it weren’t for sports I’m at the point that I’m ready to cancel it, and may cancel it anyways.

    This is where the “I don’t have a TV” people chime in.

    Eric, I’m with you. I took the plunge and got rid of the cable. The prospect of losing sports delayed the decision, but with the money saved I’m able to get many of the online venues including MLBTV. I can’t take much more of ESPN’s politicizing everything, not to mention the lousy news channels as well as the moronic shows you mention.

  7. “deliberate denial of the known truth” is exactly what I would expect a heathen thinker to champion, rather than admit the known truth of God’s existence, for one thing…

    I prefer knowledge, myself. Of all things, as much as possible, which is perhaps why I went into science…

    And, contra Mencken, knowing how and why women think and act as they do, is very useful. It allows one to not be deceived therein.

    Which I think is a good thing, and cannot be otherwise, surely.

    Mystery be hanged. Let Roman Catholics, Eastern Orthodox and heathens love mysteries, if they desire; understanding is surely better. Did not Ecclesiastes encourage us to pursue wisdom? Does not Proverbs also encourage us likewise?

  11. Everyone could gain by the experience of having to live in a tent in the woods for an extended period of time. Your mind becomes much more alert through having to learn how to survive and there is no TV to dumb your reasoning capacities. Some tips and things gained for those who might have to go through the disciplining process:

    1) Get a bicycle as quickly as possible
    2) Find a place fairly close to a grocery store to pitch your ten
    3) Pine needles keep the poison ivy and poison oak vines to a minimum and they provide more cushion to sleep in- so find a space with lots of pines trees around
    4) Make sure you find a place where people or cops won’t be able to see the tent and there good accesses in and out of your area
    5) Make friends with the birds and squirrels who keep coming around your site regularly- I think they help keep undesirables away from your site
    6) Stay away from mind altering substances and alcohol while living in the woods- you need all your capacities to survive
    7) Be cordial and friendly towards the other homeless people you may come in contact with and the shelters and salvation armies in the city you are in- they will go out of their way to help you.
    8) Beware of the threat of coyotes who are running wild and like to eat peoples pets and if you leave food lying around your tent site they will smell it and check out what is available. Coyotes are clever but I found that ammonia on rags will keep them away and clanking on pots and pans will scare them away if they venture into your site at night. They are vicious and will attack if they smell fear. They will tear up a tent easily too.
    9) I have found you become much more clear in your thinking and cognitively alert when living in the woods on the land.
    10) Stay away from the homeless tent cities where drinking and drugging take place- they have a tendency to turn on each other and it becomes a survival of the most physically willing to beat the crap out of the physically weak and take all of the few valuables they may have or have stolen and loitered from others.
    11) I could go on but will stop there

    I understand little things they do, which I’ve noticed from even before I was pursuing relationships.

    Take, for instance, the lower-lip-biting vulnerability cue that females like to do, esp. if they’re a bit nervous.

    That elicits a paternal, protective response from males; it makes us want to comfort and protect them. It makes our hearts go, “Aw! Sweet little thing; I want to comfort her, let her know it’s all right, that I’m here for her.”, that kind of thing.

  19. You asked for it, Muddy. I meant to say, dumb-down, but I was typing fast. It is an amazing thing how alert your senses become living on the land, so to speak. And how you really don’t miss, that much, the modern convenience we come accustomed too. I swear your alertness and mental concentration levels increase significantly. Can’t really prove that but it sure seemed that way to me.

    What I missed the most was some good juicy meat meals. You eat a lot of canned chicken, tuna and a wide variety of canned beans. I acquired a taste for the Rotel canned tomatoes with hot habanero’s. Steak toco’s from local Mexicali places became a priority when you get some extra cash- they taste so good when you are hungry. When I was living on top of a six-story parking garage in downtown Savannah somebody left me an envelope with 400 dollars in it- a lot of the students from the art and design school used to make their way up to the “roof-top” loft, like I used to call it, and blow joints and socialize with their friends. I got to know them and I think it was one of them who left the envelope. The first thing I did was go get a big expensive steak at one of the fine riverside restaurants in Savannah. I thought I was in heaven, it tasted so good.

    Unfortunately, my roof-top loft got found out- even though the security guard was letting me stay there. The owner of the privately owned garage, right next to the Mellow-Mushroom pizza joint on Liberty near Bull St., finally caught wind of it and sent the cops up there to bust me. I had to spend 3 and half-weeks in the slammer waiting for my court date. They let me go with time served but when I went back to where my belongings were hid in the bushes across from parking garage all my stuff was gone. I was very pissed and I lost some books I treasured as valuable and expensive- Calvin’s 2 volume Battle translation Institutes among them. The last 2 years have been quite an adventure, to say the least. I am getting to old for this though.

    I suggest developing more leadership and confidence qualities–make a girl of quality want you to lead her, to take her where you’re going. Start by not getting pissy over what inconsequential people on a blog say (but do consider than men who are older than you and married may know more than you).

    And go on lots and lots of casual, no pressure dates, to understand women a bit more (you don’t even have to kiss any of them). You need to face the fact that while you’re dismissing all these women as “modern-day typical female supremacist,” they might be dismissing YOU as incapable of leading a family, regardless of your ideals.

    If it gives me cred, I only had one year of grad school because our family started rather soon after our wedding. We now have 5–probably headed toward the double digits–and I home school, tutor Latin and write book reviews on the side, and do all that housewifey domestic stuff (albeit poorly).

I am still a firm believer in their views of sanctification. And the people you find at Lutheran churches are fun and easy to fellowship with. The atmosphere at a Lutheran church is completely different than the atmosphere you find at Reformed churches.
