    Yea sexuality is super unique to each individual. We like to create all these pretty little boxes and titles for the different things people find they're attracted to but it's rarely so black and white

    Personally, when I tried watching gay porn of two dude I lost my boner. However, I enjoy watching MTF trans girls with penises and even personal pegging. But I'd only want to be pegged by a girl, never a guy. Some people would consider that gay but I identify as straight because the masculine aesthetic isn't sexually attractive to me.

    I met this chick at the other week who told me my thumbs make her wet asf haha we're all into what we're into. As long as it's consensual then fuck it, fair play

    I'm transitioning hard from an individualistic stage to a more collective stage of my life and looking to make new friends in the Seattle/WA area

    Any fellow Washingtonians on this forum?

    I'm an avid hiker, rock climber, raver, martial artist, psychonaught, meditator and more. My life is wonderful & I'm looking to spread that joy and to find for more consciously developed people to share life experiences with(:

    @Michael569 whenever I eat wheat I develop back pain, can’t breathe through my nose, develop a bloated stomach, get rashes on my skin and my gums become inflamed to the point of bleeding.

    I’ve been tested for celiac disease and don’t have it. There has to be some sort of toxin in it causing this?

    When I cut it out symptoms disappear. I can literally see the information disappear whenever I cut out these “toxic” food.

    Personally I’ve gotten rid of gingivitis through the carnivore diet. 

    What is causing this? Why is it that when I eat exclusively meat that I look and feel my best? How is it that there are thousand of people online who remove their medical conditions such as kidney disease, eczema, acne, etc from cutting out plant foods?

    I’m genuinely curious, how do you explain this?

    P.S.

    I’m not dogmatic about this. Carnivore is not for everyone. If someone eat plans and feels great and healthy with that diet then I support that.

    My issue is with people that push “plants are healthy” on everyone including people like myself where they’re obviously not and causing a multitude of negative side effects

    Interesting. I will try the diet out for experimentation when lab meat becomes widely available.

    What I don’t get about the diet is what exactly it is that makes it so special. Ketosis + high nutrients isn’t something you can only do with a carnivore diet. You could even get there with a vegan diet.

     

    Meat, especially beef is way more nutrient dense than any plant food out there.

    Break down the macronutrients and micronutrients of a pound of beef verses a pound of any vegetable and the beef blows it out the water.

    What makes it so special is the anti inflammatory nature of it. Most people are constantly feeding themselves high toxicity foods like wheat, dairy, leafy greens, etc and having an autoimmune response in reaction to those foods.

    Grass fed organic beef doesn’t cause an autoimmune response. 

    Lab meats are shit too assuming they’re made of hyper processed and highly inflammatory soybeans like most other fake meats are

    Yea I suppose it depends on what skills you’re trying to develop.

    Obviously you can work on striking solo with a bag but to think you can achieve any sort of grappling proficiency without a training partner is silly.

    You’re severely handicapping yourself by only training alone and I would encourage you to investigate why you don’t want to train with other people.

    The group camaraderie I get from spending time with my training partners is one of the best benefits I receive from training martial arts

    @Jannes it depends on the style of carnivore diet.

    Personally I get the best results from a high fat, moderate protein, zero carb version (~225ish grams PRO per day)

    So that doesn’t kick me out of ketosis.

    That said there’s plenty of people out there that do carnivore/animal based and aren’t aiming to be in ketosis such as Paul Saladino’s approach.

    Ive played around with carnivore plus low toxicity carbs approach with pretty good results too (think just eating animal flesh and fruit or white rice)

    The general consensus for the meaning behind “Functional Training” amongst people who know what they’re talking about is forward locomotion and breathing.

    Some like Naudi would include throwing which is fair but undoubtably humans are mean to breathe and walk. Acts like throwing & kicking are extensions of that.

    How does your training protocol influence these core aspects of movement?

    That’s the whole concept behind “functional training”. Is the ability for your “exercise” to carry over to your daily activities.

    Bench pressing and heavy back squats don’t have much carry over to daily living. In fact some would even argue they inhibit your ability to move effectively throughout your day to day life.

    You bench press to improve your ego, not your running pattern;)

    Yea I spent over 5 years as a personal training and got my bachelors in exercise science. I’ve also trained with multiple FP certified trainers and am myself trained in Functional Pattern training philosophy.

    I say this because most people I see on here giving fitness advice don’t have a very deep understanding of what they’re talking about.

    I have a lot of critics about Naudi but he has a pretty deep understanding of human biomechanics.

    Most mainstream health/fitness advice will greatly accelerate the break down of your joints and FP offers an alternative.

    FP is much better than the mainstream bodybuilding/hypertrophy centric advice you’ll typically get (assuming you care about holistic health) 

    But personally I lean more towards the GOATA style of movement training as there is deeper wisdom in it than FP

    Naudi is so frustratingly dogmatic that it I find it impossible to even listen to him now days

    That’s the entire issue - I don’t enjoy the things I used to enjoy a lot. I can’t enjoy anything at all. Nothing makes me feel alive and engaged anymore, including the things that used to make me feel alive and engaged.

    Great! Sounds like you’ve got some exploring to do;)

    Seriously. Go out and try new things. Hang out with new people. Go to new places.

    You feeling dead inside is your soul telling you that you’re doing the wrong things. Throw out the shit you’re doing right now because it’s obviously not working.

    You’re due a death & rebirth cycle my friend

    These guys are awkward. I asked about sex not about porn. Derailed my topic. 

    To be fair you literally asked “what does beautiful sex look like”

    For me, beautiful sex is a high degree of mutual desire and pleasure

    I’ve had sex where it’s more of just trying to scratch an itch type of thing and I’ve had sex where there’s this magnetic pull of insane desire which culminates in a sacred feeling of sexual comunion experience. Almost like we can’t not have sex with each other
