The Pleasure Principle (NYTimes article even Freepers won't believe)

[Zionista Feminista]

EVEN in a culture in which sex toys are a booming business and Oprah Winfrey discusses living your best life in the bedroom, a coed live-in commune dedicated to the female orgasm hovers at the extremes.

The founder of the One Taste Urban Retreat Center, Nicole Daedone, sees herself as leading “the slow-sex movement,” * * *

[Zionista Feminista]

anybody on this board who needs to be reminded that the NYTimes is doing its best to hasten the end of western civilization, read this. You just cannot make this stuff up.

[GladesGuru]

Read the last line of the Slimes article.

Them things done gone bananas. That much the author got right.

[Baynative]

Direct link HERE. I should have known it would be about San Francisco.

[wastedyears]

Of course a Conservative Virginian won’t have luck in Liberal California.

[svcw]

What a group of sad little people.

[Steely Tom]

Not enough stuff for wannabe authors to write about under old-fashioned western civilization.

[LiberConservative]

“I don’t think women will really experience freedom until they own their sexuality.”

Wow. Profound.

[autumnraine]

One Taste Urban Retreat Center...

that focuses on the female orgasm.

This is one big lesbian pick up group, sheesh.

[MAD-AS-HELL]

Why would this upset you about the very progressive NY Slimes who caters to their party of choice, the Democrats and writes for the Sleazy, cheating, sexually derpaved NY crowd who all screw each over sexually and screw each other over financially? And the reason why this article is important is that libs do need more orgasms. It’s a known fact that libs/leftists/dems are horrible in bed compared to Republican/conservatives who aren’t the selfish aholes like libs are.

Although men are not touched by the women and do not climax, they say they experience a sense of energy and satiation. Both the strokers and strokees insist that all this OMing is really about the “hydration” of the self, the human connection, not sex.

I would sue for "sexual discrimination" as the women get off and the men don't get "jack."

[NativeNewYorker]

There are very serious hard news stories involving the Times' core NYC demographic that they won't cover...local things routinely picked up in the Post or Daily News. So they devote part of their shrinking news hole to a handful of sex obsessed Californians?

Pinch must really REALLY hate his father and family, because there is no conceivable explanation for how he's run the Times other than to deliberately destroy its value.

'cuz ain't nobody rushing to jump into bed with her.

[VRWC For Truth]

The old gray lady has gone Nat’l Inquirer.

[Bernard Marx]

I notice the article mentions Sean Penn and San Fransicko’s pioneering sexual spirit. Has anyone noticed that he’s got a “Milk moustache” lately?

[NTHockey]

There is entirely too much free time in our society. If these kooks and others like them had to farm or mine or fish, they would starve to death.

After reading that Bill Press and his cohabiting family are adherents, no one can take seriously ever again. The image of a grown man rubbing the body of a hairy, unwashed body is to laugh at him.

[mkjessup]

This article is just a symptom of the NYT’s strategy to desperately try and save itself from bankruptcy, it’s no secret that the Slimes has been the source of every kind of political pornography manifested in hate-America screeds, editorials, and articles undermining our Nation for decades.

But now that the wolf is at the door and they’ve actually had to sell their damn building and lease it back to get some cash in their pockets, they’re going to move more and more into soft core porn, and eventually they’ll be as filthy as anything Al Goldstein ever published in the infamous ‘SCREW’ tabloid.

This article alone demonstrates the NYT’s appeal to the prurient instincts of the public.

[Baynative]

"Elana Auerbach, an original resident, who left the group with Bill Press, who is now her husband, said the upshot of Ms. Daedone’s ability to become exactly the person an individual yearns for is that “they take on Nicole, exude Nicoleness.”

No wonder Bill Press is so freakin' metrosexually weird. He's exuding Nicloeness.

[Poison Pill]

Ms. Daedone, 41, who can quote the poet Mary Oliver and speak wryly on the intricacies of women’s anatomy with equal aplomb. “I don’t think women will really experience freedom until they own their sexuality.”

The ultimate orgasm finally happens only when all the follower's money are inserted deeply DEEPLY into the womb-like safety of Ms. Daedone's Wells Fargo account.

[grey_whiskers]

I guess this refutes "a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle."

Can't they get themselves off?

And we'll have to rewrite the novelty song "Sensitive New Age Guys" too...

Cheers!

Just when you thought liberals couldn’t get any loonier, they get loonier...

[Slings and Arrows]

If only Miss Sabersaw had known...

[bossmechanic]

I didn’t get how this group exists financially. Are the participants paying? Or is this funded by some obscure government grant - that we’re paying for?

[Psycho_Bunny]

uh......................................................................what?

[imintrouble]

Lotus Eaters

[Twinkie]

“obscure government grant”? - GOOD QUESTION. WE NEED TO KNOW IF IT IS AND BRING OUT THE TAR AND FEATHERS IF IT IS.

[Jonx6]

That was a great post, thx.

[pieceofthepuzzle]

If all women were like these I would become a totally selfish male with absolutely no intentions to marry and with a focus on what I could take away from a relationship short-term. I've never lived my life that way or thought that way, but this kind of female self-indulgence makes one cynical. What about love, respect, honor, innocence? This is just small-minded surrender to biological impulse, and is no different than defining your life around food or some other appetite. The truly enlightened transcend impulse and appetite. These truly are small sad little people.

[Poison Pill]

I didn’t get how this group exists financially. Are the participants paying?

Fees for classes, seminars (or I guess ovulars), etc. The fact that Bill Press bought into this explains alot.

[Stoat]

Those drawn to One Taste are an eclectic lot. Some are in life transitions, among them a baby-faced 50-year-old Silicon Valley engineer, a recently divorced man, who said that the practice of manually fixing his attention on a tiny spot of a woman’s body improves his concentration at work.

 

One can only hope that his 'engineering' job does not involve the design, modification or interaction with devices that could be harmful to people

 

[ExtremeUnction]

You can tell the founder of the One Taste Urban Retreat Center (Nicole Daedone) what you think:

nicole@onetaste.us

[dennisw]

Get real she is OK

[Liberty Valance]

I think I already saw this one on 'Dirty Jobs'.

[vetvetdoug]

This is probably the friend of the woman that attached her dildo to the reciprocating saw and ended up in the ER.

[saganite]

And we’ll have to rewrite the novelty song “Sensitive New Age Guys” too...

LOL! Nobody has mentioned yet that this represents the final, total emasculation of men who are used here to fulfill the womans sexual desire and get zero in return. They’re nothing more than organic dildos. I’m sure the women involved love the mens subservience far more than the actual sex.

[Dionysius]

Dr. House’s new profession?

[~Kim4VRWC's~]

Yer right, dare I call this ‘maximus cultis’ to the extremous.

[VeniVidiVici]

a recently divorced man, who said that the practice of manually fixing his attention on a tiny spot of a woman’s body improves his concentration at work.

I don't know whether to laugh hysterically or run out and start a new business.

[Slings and Arrows]

Well, if his designs are push-button...

[ko_kyi]

Whats your favorite dish?
Im not gonna cook it
But ill order it from Zanzibar

Heck, it's just a 60’s commune recycled....

A core of 38 men and women — their average age the late 20s — live full time in the retreat center, a shabby-chic loft building in the South of Market district. They prepare meals together, practice yoga and mindfulness meditation and lead workshops in communication for outside groups as large as 60.

[Trillian]

The ‘women’s movement’ has come a long way! It’s amazing how much destruction has come along with it. They are truly a bunch of self destructive people.

I wonder how much the STD % have gone up in that area since they started.

[dusttoyou]

when all the follower’s money are inserted deeply DEEPLY into the womb-like safety of Ms. Daedone’s Wells Fargo account.

Nomination for post of the day.

[dusttoyou]

thought liberals couldn’t get any loonier. Progressive, they prefer PROGRESSIVE! Just look at the progression from what we just thought was lunacy within the klintoons to the “progressed” lunacy with the HNIC>

[gogogodzilla]

We all know how much the New York Slimes lies in their reporting.

So we need photographic proof to back up their claims.

PHOTOS, you hear! PHOTOS!

:-P

[grey_whiskers]

Try reading the story "The Mechanical Man" in this.

Not suitable for work, I guess.

(For those who are wondering...there was a Ron Maimon at Harvard who was an absolute physics whiz -- I used to read his stuff on USENET. Anyway, a few years ago i got bored and Googled him, and ran across this story. Same name, don't know if it's the same guy or not.)

Cheers!

[editor-surveyor]

" I should have known it would be about San Francisco."

Fulton St. seems like it'd be a come-down for this gang. - I'd expect this a little further north, in West Marin, say around the Bolinas Lagoon? or Inverness?

[Mr. Silverback]

ost residents are young questers, seeking to fill an inner void and become empowered through Ms. Daedone’s blend of female-centric spirituality and sexuality. One, Beth Crittenden, 33, grew up in conservative Virginia tobacco country, a place, she said, where the fundamentals of the female anatomy were never discussed and masturbation was unmentionable. “I’d never done anything even in the dead of night,” she said.

I always get a chuckle out of people blaming a conservative upbringing for their sexual repression. Yeah, we don't spend a lot of time gassing on about our crotches, therefore you shouldn't ever have a sex life. We also don't spend a lot of time talking about bowel movements, so make sure you never take a crap.

[Mr. Silverback]

I guess this refutes "a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle."

Bravo! Post of the thread!

[Old Professer]

Now there’s a stimulus package you can get your hands on.
