RE: Transformational experiences
Well those experiences whilst perhaps transformational in some ways was not exactly what I had in mind. I think that puberty is the first 'transformation' that everyone goes though but that it is quite different for males and females. With males it is generally the sudden desire for women and sex which is generally unfulfilled at that time, whereas for females it is an awareness of fertility and of being desired by men and perhaps not knowing how to deal with that.
In the case of Rodger Elliot it was a transformation that he could never fully accept or deal with and he sought to hang onto his childhood understanding of things which led to utter disaster:
Quote:One friend who I met through a chat room suddenly emailed me pictures of beautiful naked girls, telling me to “check this out”. When I looked at the pictures, I was shocked beyond words. I had never seen what beautiful girls looked like naked, and the sight filled me with strong and overwhelming emotions. I didn’t know what was happening to me. Was it the first inkling of sexual desire in my body? I
was traumatized. My childhood was fading away. Ominous fear swept over me, and I stopped talking to that person.
One time while I was alone at Planet Cyber, I saw an older teenager watching pornography. I saw in detail a video of a man having sex with a hot girl. The video showed him stick his penis inside a girl’s vagina. I didn’t know anything about sex at the time. I barely even knew what sex was. I was slowly
starting to develop sexual feelings for hot girls, but I didn’t know what to do with them. To see this video really traumatized me. I had no idea what I was seeing... I couldn’t imagine human beings doing such things with each other. The sight was shocking, traumatizing, and arousing. All of these feelings mixed together took a great toll on me. I walked home and cried by myself for a bit. I felt too guilty about what I saw to talk to my parents about it. I was quite shaken for a few days.
This was among the very first glimpses I had of sex. Finding out about sex is one of the things that truly destroyed my entire life. Sex... the very word fills me with hate. Once I hit puberty, I would always want it, like any other boy. I would always hunger for it, I would always covet it, I would always fantasize about it. But I would never get it. Not getting any sex is what will shape the very foundation of my miserable youth. This was a very dark day.
Soon enough, I would inevitably find out about what sex was, whether I saw that foul video or not. Boys at my school started talking about it. Connor Hanrahan and his friend Jordan Carlton one day told me exactly what happens when a man and a woman have sex. Finding out about sex was just the beginning of my horrific downfall.
Now this is what I wrote quite some time about my sexual awakening:
Quote:In the beginning there was masturbation, and it was good.
Or so it seemed, as my earliest memory is essentially of masturbation; ie rubbing my sexual organs against things, bodily, in order to produce pleasurable sensations. This is before I could talk, and was in a cot, in nappies, that I found I could gain pleasure by stimulating a certain part of myself.
Throughout childhood I developed this art. Not knowing if it was a special gift I was physically endowed with, or whether a skill that anyone could develop, I tried to evangelise it. I believe I was successful in doing so, to some persons.
[How? No, (sigh) it’s not what you’re thinking. There was no showing, no touching, no demonstration, no group ‘session’, just the quiet rational imparting of information, as in a sex ed class]
I tried to tell my mother, except she didn’t seem to click. This was either by misunderstanding, or deliberate ignoring of my explainandum of the phenomena, for which I had developed my own words, and was thus like a little private language.
I even tried to tell some friends about it but do not believe I was very successful in that regard.
I thought I’d discovered this great new thing, and if I could just tell people about it their lives could be improved, and it would be for the benefit of all humanity if it could be made public.
But no one seemed to want to know...and so believing myself to be the only one to have these thoughts, I kept silent.
Moreover, sensing that the whole issue was socially unacceptable, I eventually refrained from my evangelistic efforts.
Then I began to understand that this thing was connected with sexual relations between men and women. I realised this before the onset of puberty. Still however, it was an undirected self pleasuring, until I noticed (aside from the physical) one distinct change:
I would be rewarded by extra pleasure for thoughts associated with females.
I found this intriguing.
(Some aspects of life I previously couldn’t understand became clearer. Eg: I would see kissing on TV, and wonder why it was not denounced, as as it seemed contrary to everything I was taught about actions to prevent the transmission of disease. Plus, I couldn’t see why anyone would want to do that, it seemed at odds with social taboo’s, in that it seemed to violate health and social standards.)
Mainly though, there was an amazement that fantasies involving females could now heighten my pleasure. I experimented with rolling the thoughts of bizarre animal actions through my mind and was amazed at the results. Though it did perturb me slightly. Did I really want these disgusting things to happen?
I wondered whether to indulge this odd whim (mentally). It seemed like I was being invaded by a foreign force, intent on changing my thinking about females, which I had always thought of as being fundamentally undifferentiated from males, but with a tendency to strange inclinations in ‘play’ which I did not share.
I tried to resist this change in thinking about females, but gradually it became integrated with my personality in a way that I could no longer exactly tell the old me from the desires of the new. But never was the division lost, and I can still vaguely remember how I thought before this change took place. I regarded it as the original rational me, and the other desires as those of another more recent interloper, who was animal and base. Like a creature which I needed to appease with mental stimuli rather than pleasuring my self with purely physical manipulation.
Finally compare it to how one young feminist feels:
Quote:I'm an "aspiring" feminist. I read articles on gender issues, I speak out against overtly sexist comments, and in thought I believe in the main concepts of feminism. However, I reserve the honor of titling myself as a feminist because I have a few weaknesses. I dress my body for male attention and I have grown dependent on receiving positive feedback about my body. I feel guilty about taking advantage of the way I resemble society's idea of "sexy" (sorry for sounding so vain), because I feel it is at the expense of women who might not be treated with the privilege of being what people consider "good-looking." But when I stop trying to look "hot", I become self-conscious and I feel powerless.
I am a feminist and in public social situations I am a strong defender of female equality, but when it comes to sexuality I am very different. I often find myself sexually attracted to very masculine, assertive men (who aren't generally concerned with gender issues). I enjoy being servile, being the "pretty little sex object," being treated like the alpha male's prize. I'm ashamed to admit that since it contrasts so starkly with my feminist principles. How do I reconcile my ideology with my sexual instincts? Am I still a feminist if I am aware of self-objectification, but continue to do it?
In each case there is sex and what that means, and there is the inability to deal with it because of some kind of public ideology that the person has. In each case there is a transformation involved which shows that that ideology is all just one big lie (and there is a person smart enough to realise it). For me, Elliot Rodger and feminism puberty was the original red pill and in each case failure to swallow it was fairly disastrous.
Of course there are many other transformational experiences as well, but that's just one example.
