Participants needed!

I promise I will write something more substantial - I have a few things brewing in my brain and I have been hashing them out. Anyway, I am writing randomly (I have only posted once to be honest) for an online zine called Paradox Polemics. The woman who started it is looking for participants in study she is conducting on suicide. Click the link belong to check it out:

Fucking Vampires

Your phone rings and you reel with apprehension. It's "them again", and you are about to be drained by a person who cannot deal with their own emotions. Sometimes this is completely justified: your friend or loved one is suffering a deep phase of grief from a traumatic event. But in this case, its just a histrionic vampire coming to feed.

Their reasons for being distraught are likely by-products of their own lack of self-awareness. "Woe is me!" "Nobody likes me!" "Why doesn't anyone care!?" All common sentiments bellowed out by this crowd. Personal responsibility is a foreign concept to them, and they will find any excuse not look in the mirror.

Its best to disengage all communication as quickly and tactfully as possible. Politeness is an act of self-preservation on your part. Plenty of vampires have strong suicidal urges,* coupled with a ceaseless belief that the world owes them for their shitty lot in life . This can lead to a homicidal ideation that's comprised of a desire to take out those who have "wronged them" before they themselves seek oblivion. This is, of course, the worst case scenario. Some of them simply crave drama. You do not want to give them fodder for such a thing, still, as it will more require you to expend even more precious energy on an undeserving individual.

You may be under the delusion that you can help these people by "being there". However, in all reality, you simply can't. There is nothing you can do because they refuse change. Being their victim will only result in a fruitless martyrdom.

Move along and be free of their bullshit.

"Many people who walk the earth practice the fine art of making others feel responsible and even indebted to them, without cause. Satanism observes these leeches in their true light. Psychic vampires are individuals who drain others of their vital energy. This type of person can be found in all avenues of society. They fill no useful purpose in our lives, and are neither love objects nor true friends. Yet we feel responsible to the psychic vampire without knowing why." - Anton LaVey

*I do not believe all suicidal people to be of this sort.

"Disrespecting" Myself

I have heard it many times before, the accusation that if one is too promiscuous or prideful of their body in a sexual context that they do not respect themselves.

The problem I find with this argument is fairly simple: How I am or any other woman for that matter "disrespecting" ourselves by exercising sexual expression and seeking pleasurable experiences in this context? Its as if those using this argument believe that we cannot possibly be doing these things simply because we have needs of a sexual nature.

There are also those that try to justify this finger-wagging bullshit by using recent studies done within the field of evolutionary psychology - but these people seemed to have missed the nuances within the studies themselves. Coupled with the fact that the field itself has garnered much criticism due to a lack of proper testability renders this defense almost completely moot.  

But at the end of the day, its really none of your fucking business what goes on in any other bedroom but your own and the moralistic bullshit that fuels this attitude seems shallow and baseless in nature. I seek pleasure because it makes me happy, not because I lack respect for myself. What I seek may not be what you seek but you don't see me calling you a prude now do you?
