Imagine a world where the leaders of countries resolved their differences not by dropping bombs on each other’s people, but by dropping some love on them instead.
In Peace Through Pleasure Susan Block says,
“Scientific observation has revealed that social interactions among bonobos are far less hostile than among common chimps. This is not to say that bonobos never fight; they just do so a lot less. Unlike common chimps (and humans, of course), bonobos have never been observed deliberately killing members of their own species. Among bonobos observed both in the wild and in captivity, sex and mutual pleasure are keys to keeping the peace, reinforcing social relations based upon the give and take of sensual, erotic pleasure rather than on pain and force and fear”.
What a concept! :o)
Can we send a delegation of properly evolved peace seekers to N. Korea right now? Madeline Albright and Kim Jong Il making the world safe from nukular weapons? Is it possible that George Bush was onto something (sorry) when he said he saw Putin’s soul in his eyes? If only he’d taken the next logical step, the world wouldn’t be at each other’s throats…they’d be at each others (fill in the blank)’s instead :o) Instead of oil for food or profit, it could be oil for bun grabbing! :o) I’m serious! Bi-Partisanship would take on a whole new meaning in a world like that. Reaching across the aisle, as it were, would make for some very interesting C-Span programming :o) In this atmosphere a phased withdrawal would be much more favorable than an immediate withdrawal!
Just a few random thoughts about how to save us from ourselves on a Sunday morning.
Food for thought…or………..
All you need is love. Da Da Da Da Da. All you need is love. Da Da Da Da Da. All you need is love, love. Love is all you need.
Sexual repression equals violence! I knew it.
Can’t we all get a little…er, I mean along? ;o)
Geez. I read this right before leaving for church.
I’ve got seven miles to get the lust out of my heart. : )
Happy Trails :o)
Christians?
I think they know a little more about this than they’re letting on :o)
up royally. They are always out there having all these social events with others but then denying them must make them pissed off or something. They are always angry pounding some table, or some pulpit, or some other religion, or some other country.
Among bonobos observed both in the wild and in captivity, sex and mutual pleasure are keys to keeping the peace,…
I’m game.
By Jove, I think you’ve got it! If we could drop a little “pleasure” on those we disagree with instead of trying to bomb them out of existence. . .why. . .why. . .think of all the smiling faces there would be out there.
Sounds like a winner to me.
Hugs

Now…how to implement this diabolical love plan? :o)
I’ll start. . .I’m a great warm up act. . .hehehehe ;o)
You all finish. K?
this place is a treasure trove of information for my sadly understimulated little brain. This is the second time that bonobos have been brought up on BT. What does this say about us?
I don’t know what it say’s about us, but it say’s a little too much about anyone who has this much time on their hands to post a diary like this :o)
Oh Super, you have got my attention!….now what????????<<wink, wink>>
You can catch more flys with sugar than vinegar,,right? Love is part of the teaching of those who make great strides of worldly teachings…right?
I agree with Shirl…hugs and again you have a good one …idea that is…..;o)
LOL!
What next? Oh, I don’t know…
Reach out and touch someone? Let your fingers do the walking?
Just a silly Sunday for me Brenda :o)
and I am dying to post this picture:

(Oops, don’t remember how to post a picture)
Doesn’t it look like someone photoshopped it? I saw this on the news and cracked up.
Maybe you were thinking along the same lines as this couple who are promoting an orgasm for peace.
December 22. Mark your calendar 😉
Ahhh…
the shot heard ’round the world part deux?!
Oh man…okay, that’s it, I’m done here :o)
Well God knows I probably wouldn’t be such a bitch if I was grtting a little…if ya know what I mean?
Apparently bonobos are quite open about self-gratification.
The US military agrees with you. Sort of.

I don’t know. Anyway, if we all acted a little bit more like apes, there would be a lot less head lice.
