The non orgasm causing cancer thing bothered me so I called my grandma.

[showblue22]

I'm a 33 year old male in Traverse City MI. I never heard of such a thing of not having sex causing cancer so I called my grandma who is just a year older than Bernie.

My grandma said it was a well known scare tactic dirty old men would use to get young girls just out of puberty to have sex. She said they would say, " your mom's advice of chastity is hurting your health, you're going to get cancer if you don't put out."

She said it's not based on any science of any sort. It was just a scare tactic dirty old men would use.



We're screwed if that's true.

He shows his astute understanding...

"What do you think it really means when 3 doctors, after intense study, write that ‘of the 26 patients (who developed breast cancer) below 51 (years of age), one was sexually adjusted.’ It means, very bluntly, that the manner in which you bring up your daughter with regard to sexual attitudes may very well determine whether or not she will develop breast cancer, among other things."

2. Sounds like something out of Liquid Sky

Aliens gorging themselves on human "orgastic energy".

Makes me a bit disappointed. I thought the premise was original to the movie. Never knew it was based on an actual psychiatric theory.

6. It sounds like a religious cult.

3. Yes. Your grandma is correct. Along with some of the other things he said.

I also think it is nifty you had that conversation with your grandmother. Cute.

4. I'm about ten years younger than your grandma. And yes, that line was used at the time,

and not just on very young girls, and not just by dirty old men.

Young men including radical activists seemed to believe in sexual liberation, but not really in women's liberation.

Stokely Carmichael was infamous for having said that "the only position for women in SNCC is prone."
