ass-spirations

ass-spirations — The desire to have marital sexual relations more than twice a week after more than five years of marriage.

At least 50% of the people involved in the marriage will find this to be somewhat unreasonable, while reminding the other 50% of the couple that married people — statistically — have more regular sex than single people.

This is especially in the post-pandemic age of internet dating where many men identify themselves as “Incels” (and Freudian-ly play with guns).

Psychologist call this phenomenon: Too much and not enough. This refers to the propensity of the average married couple to describe the exact same number and types of sexual interactions in completely divergent terms.

Another phenomenon associated with this is the hormonal reversal theme wherein the desire role of the couple reverses only to have the end result be the exact same dynamic — ONLY REVERSED!!!!!!

As the old saying about human nature goes: “When they hand out free $10 dollar bills someone will complain that $50 dollar bills aren’t being freely distributed.”

As for sexual frequency — talk to any single person going through a sexual drought: sex twice a week even if it is a quickie and in only one position is 104 sex acts a year — which actually is a lot; though some would say not enough.

But, we can always still have ass-spirations!!!!!
The longer one is married, the easier it is for a good series binge to thwart marital ass-spirations. Love and Death cost me one of my weekly marital sex acts!!!!!

Purity Spiral

A social ratchet effect within a community. A process of moral outbidding, unchecked, which corrodes the group from within, rewarding those who put themselves at the extremes, and punishing nuance relentlessly.

Not to be confused with 'virtue signalling', 'woke culture', or 'online mobs'.

A purity spiral can contain all of these things, but it is defined by the fact that it takes place in a defined community or society, where being purer-than-thou is always being rewarded, and holding a divergent, 'less pure' opinion is normally punished, a dynamic which leads to an inevitable escalation as only the most extreme can 'win'.

Could be anything, from Mao's Red Guard, to Neo-Nazis, to The Crucible, to Instagram knitting.
After Louise denounced Nike as bourgeois, the village fell into a purity spiral where first Nikes, then all sneakers, then all shoes, and later, socks, were burnt on a pyre by the villagers.

Foot amputations followed in the Spring.

Texas is categorized as a swing state in presidential elections, but has voted for Republicans more times than for Democrats in recent history. As such, as demographics change political alignments, some Democrats believe that Texas will vote blue, or Democratic, due to their Hispanic and African American voters, who often align themselves with the Democratic Party's liberal wing.

Blexas has been cited as possible in the upcoming decades, but only if Democrats continue to win the Hispanic vote in bigger margins.
Democrat 1: What is your prediction for the 2024 presidential election?
Democrat 2: Well uh, Blexas!
Democrat 1: You've been saying that since 2008 though.

Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
