I was also under the impression that something was wrong with me. I may masturbate up to 5-6 times in a day. I can go from flaccid to erect merely with the thought of sex. Most girls like it because they don't feel forced to perform orally. LOL. However, I can't have sex with women that I'm not...

I believe that mine is being overly critical of myself.

I have had frequent problems with the idea of well-roundedness as of late. Personally, my preferred genres, sci-fi/fantasy and philosophy, are all that I like to read. I may stray off the path with one or two books a year but I am staunchly committed to those two. It is a prominent belief that...

Hey Architect! Initially, I joined this forum to better understand myself, as an INTP, and to improve on my writing. I had no doubts that I would be corrected if someone felt that it was necessary. I've also enrolled in a speech course (which is a pre-req for my AA). I would say that my biggest...

Thank you guys for all of the suggestions.

In my opinion, Facebook is still useful enough for most people to disregard, or at least remain inactive about, the intrusion of privacy. Near-limitless freedom and free and easy global communication seem to be of larger concern than an invasion or privacy.

As of late, I’ve felt a pestering need to write regularly. Being an INTP, that need is accompanied by the desire to learn, improve, and learn some more and two ways to achieve this is through peer review and constructive criticism. It is my hope that some of you will put forth your opinions and...

Where can I find the "Ask Architect" thread?

The look on the faces of those I encounter cause me to feel like I am force-feeding them information. I'm always trying to teach them something or help them look deeper into an issue but more often than not, it isn't what they were wanting to hear. I can't stand small talk so I'm not quite sure...

It's so much easier that I'm afraid I'll lose whatever social skills I may have left outside of this forum. Nice to meet you guys/

Btw, what exactly is your avatar? Is it a pictorial representation of an idea? An animation? It looks pretty cool.

So, would I essentially be seeking wisdom? I don't have the slightest desire to practically apply concepts. :confused:

I'm currently taking an MOOC on how to reason and argue so this would be a great learning experience for me. I would be able to observe several debates then hopefully participate in one myself.
