LIGHT MY FIRE 🔥

Rene Descartes, “Mr I Think Therefore I Am”, was the Frenchman who got the fucking ball rolling for modern philosophy.😎 Five hundred years ago he set the playing board and pieces; he was the first to wonder if the world was real - blaming an all-powerful demon on setting us up.😈 More importantly for us, he first described the mind and body: no-one had talked about this distinction before Descartes, which is hard to believe when talking about the mind is comm...

RISING ABOVE FANTASY 🤤

We’ve all heard tales of true love and dreamed of being or waiting for our Prince Charming. 💘 These childhood fantasies may entertain, but retaining these ideas can create fucking wildly unrealistic expectations of relationships and others. 😟 Soren Kierkegaard, a nineteenth century Danish philosopher, was pissed off with these ideas and blamed them on the developing modern age. He saw the uniqueness of who we are being put under threat from a society tr...

BOUND BY DESIRE ❤️‍🔥

Often philosophy is about looking at something we take for granted from a new perspective.🧐 Philosophy can expose blind-spots later generations will find hard to bloody believe, for instance, Aristotle raved on about the equality of man but didn’t think twice about owning slaves.👎 Another example of this was in 1949 when French philosopher Simone de Beauvoir, Sartre’s on and off partner, published her masterpiece, “The Second Sex”. The book lo...

LET’S TOY AROUND 🤤

Quick disclaimer. The German philosopher I am about to discuss, Martin Heidegger, was a Nazi.🤬 He’s the fucking perfect example of the dilemma we face when someone awful comes up with amazingly cool shit – though he later renounced his membership.🙈 Heidegger can’t be overlooked because he gave insight into one of the more fundamental aspects of our lives – how we experience being in the world.👀

Heidegger wasn’t talking about how we ...

PLAYTIME'S JUST BEGUN 😏
“The games we play,” is something we’ve all heard, usually an excuse for shitty deceitful behaviour.😧 The rules may not have been broken but play has pushed their limits. For a while, twentieth century philosopher, Ludwig Wittgenstein, thought he had broken the game of philosophy.⚠️ Coming up with the idea in the trenches of World War One, he wrote up a short book while teaching maths and walked into Oxford in the 1920’s to change how we look at ...

EASTER DELIGHT ❤️‍🔥
We can’t escape the seasons, that 23.5-degree tilt of the Earth means we are always swinging back and forth from the sun.🌞 But smack bang in March we hit the sweet spot: a time when it all balances up and everyone has the same length day.🌗 The equinox welcomed in spring and became one of the biggest parties of the year.🎉 It was such a big fucking deal that the Pyramids of Giza, the Angkor Wat temple in Cambodia and even five-thousand-year-old Irish...

RAW SENSATIONS 🥵

Does a tree make a sound if it falls in the woods and there is no-one there to hear it? 🤔 This mind fuck is one of the most famous philosophical riddles, courtesy of seventeenth century over-achiever Englishman, John Locke. Both the French Revolution and United States Declaration of Independence owe a lot to Locke’s political work, but his philosophy of mind forever changed the way we think of ourselves.💭 Ideas like ‘identity’ and ‘self’ start with Lo...

WHATEVER GETS YOU GOING 🔥

Worried a kink is wrong?🥺 Or the desire to fuck a certain someone isn’t right?😏 You should talk to David Hume. This eighteenth-century Scotsman first destroyed our idea of causation (when ‘this’ causes ‘that’) with a game of billiards and went on to smash how we make moral judgements.💥 

Hume was surprised that people were happy making decisions about what is good or bad based only on what they’ve experienced in the world.�...

WORSHIPPED FORM 🤤
Two of the big guns of philosophy are Socrates and Plato.💪 Socrates got the ball rolling challenging everyone to ‘know thyself’.👀 Socrates didn’t write shit down, but luckily, his genius student Plato did (so often we don’t know for sure whose idea was whose).👊 We can still relate to many of their thoughts, but others are really different, especially about sex and love.🤔

Fucking for Ancient Greeks was not something defined by gender li...

WALK ON THE WILD SIDE 🔥
Jean-Paul Satre turned philosophy on its fucking head in the 1940’s when he said existence precedes essence. 😵 Or in another way, stuff defines itself; things don’t come from a blueprint. ❌📐 Take underwear, understood to be a small set of pants with two holes for your legs fitting up to your waist. 🩲 What about g-strings then?  Or crotchless? 🤩 Or even edible? 😋 There is sexy underwear that hasn’t even been thought of yet which will push...

HOLD FIRM 😈

Exploring the fine line between pleasure and pain seems to have no limits.🥵 Experiment away, says Sartre, because you don’t know until you try it, but fellow Austrian-British philosopher, Karl Popper, was a tad more wary.⚠️ Alive during WWII, Popper was pissed because good people didn’t seem to be able to stick up for themselves.😢 They didn’t know when it was time to say no: too much turning the other cheek and hoping for the best.🙏 Then everything woul...

MASTER OR SLAVE? 🤤

When you see the name Friedrich Nietzsche, you expect to hear about Übermensch (Supermen) and master-race.😨 His fucked-up sister was the one who twisted his ideas to get kudos with the Nazis, and mud sticks.🤬 Nietzsche was actually focused on the act of creation.💥 Supermen create things, slaves reproduce the old. Nietzsche wanted us to awaken the courage to look past our world, to throw off the shackles of culture and social identity and create something ...

DECEITFUL DEALINGS 😏

Genius seventeenth century philosopher Blaise Pascal found significance in small things. 🤏 He joked that the English monarchy was saved by a grain of sand (anti-monarchist Oliver Cromwell died early of a kidney stone), and that history would have been very different if Cleopatra’s nose had been a little shorter, given the fetish powerful men had for long noses in her day. 👃🤤    

This philosopher also said we lie to ourselves and to other...

SOLO PLAY 🤤

I’m a middle-aged man so I’ve had sex a fair number of times, but I’ve wanked off heaps more. ✊🍆 Could masturbation be important to philosophy? Of course! 🤓 Have a look at the work of late twentieth century philosopher, Gilles Deleuze. I’m not saying he was a tosser at all, but for Deleuze there was a clear answer to the question, to jerk or not to jerk? 🤔

The act of creation Deleuze explained is reality blowing its load. 💦 Pure orgasm. �...

CUM TOGETHER 💦

Schopenhauer was a rich prick who was not particularly nice to women (somewhat of a Schopenist pig, you could say 🤮), but if we can get past his shortcomings, his ideas are full-blown mind orgasms. 🧠💥

“All things are one” he declared, not because of a God or greater power, but because the world ‘out there’ or the real world our senses – sight, smell, feel, etc – receive information and build a picture from, is impossible to kno...

MIND FUCK 🔥

Deceptively short, deceptively small and deceptively simple, George Berkeley’s masterpiece will blow your mind.💦 It’s the original reason I got hard doing philosophy, and it’s still sexy as shit years later. 🤤

Proving it’s not the size that matters, but what you do with it, Berkeley obliterates the way we understand the world with his small powerful piece, leaving everything teetering on the edge of absolute chaos – then, like a classic hero, he sav...

SEXY BODY, SEXY MIND 🤤

The impression exists that the great Greek philosophers were a bunch of balding, tubby old men sitting around bullshitting while drinking wine 🍷, when this couldn’t be further from the truth.‼️

Socrates was famously short and ugly, but he was also a fucking muscle-bound war hero who charged headlong into the enemy during the Peloponnesian War to rescue some captured officers.🎖️ Plato wrestled competitively, his wrestling coach giving h...

FREE TO FUCK 🔥

What do philosophy and fucking have to do with each other? 🧐 Philosophy legend, Bertrand Russell, was all about liberty and sexual freedom, including gay rights and the privation of marriage. 🫂 He basically said any adult can marry anyone any way they want. 🥰 He heavily influenced mid-1900s British policy, leading the way in western society.🌎 This doesn’t mean Bertie’d be happy to be the big dick of this post as he wasn’t into trivialising sex, but in...

TOOL CARE 🤤

“An artist’s work depends on his tools”.🛠️ These words are from the legendary Leonardo da Vinci, who viewed his tools as an extension of his body and intellect, inseparable from his creativity.🎨 This point was not lost on American President Abraham Lincoln, who also famously said, “Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will the spend the first four sharpening the axe.”🪓 The importance of tool preparation and maintenance has been discussed by phi...

REST & RECOVERY 😏

“What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.”💫 You’ll hear this expression when life turns to shit and it’s something for which we have Nietzsche to thank. 🙏 It’s such a cliché now that it can be found fucking everywhere from self-help guides to gym culture.💪 But if you know anything about Nietzsche, you’ll know that what he says and what he means can be two very different things.🧐 Is he really saying we should seek resilience, accept li...

WHAT’S FOR CHRISTMAS? 😏

Time to pamper the senses with decorations, lights, carols and Christmas feasts.🎄 Lavishing each other with parties, gifts, and oft-times, new experiences.🎁 And it’s something we’ve been doing for thousands of years.🥰

To celebrate the passing of winter, the Ancient Greeks held the festival of Haloa around the same time as Christmas.🎉 While the men made all the preparations, the women drank and devoured cock-shaped cakes.🍆 Later,...

HERE'S YOUR CHANCE 😝

Do you think someone’s fucking gorgeous and want to approach them but are shitting yourself that they may not feel the same way?😕 Sure, there is the possibility of rejection, but doesn’t the reward justify the risk?❤️‍🔥 Why then do we hesitate so often when faced with the chance? A couple of hundred years ago, Danish philosopher Soren Kierkegaard came up with a reason why we let these opportunities pass when he was thinking about what gave life me...

WORKING WITH WOOD 🤤

Straight lines belong to man, while curves belong to God.🪢 So declared Antoni Gaudi, the early twentieth century Spanish architect who designed the unmistakable La Sagrada Famalia church in Barcelona - soon to be finished after more than 140 years of construction. One of the best examples of this distinction for Gaudi was wood.🪵 With its warmth, texture and grooves, wood represented a natural harmony between aesthetic form and function; while using or crafti...

DON’T WORK ME TOO HARD 🥵

We live in a hustle culture where if you are seen as a failure, you simply haven’t put in the fucking effort.😥 People wear their busy-ness as a badge of honour, each trying to outdo the other with how much work they do, where the answer to “How are you today?” is not “Good” or “Not Bad”, but “Busy!”🎖️ Being busy impacts other parts of our lives as we only have so much time in the day.⌛ We can start to neglect our health, postpone...

FINDING YOUR GROOVE 😏

Musicians are just fucking sexy.🔥 They don’t have to look like supermodels, but play an instrument or start to sing, and a musician’s mastery over sound transforms them.🤤 Music moves us, arouses us, and as Wittgenstein pointed out, even communicates ideas to us.🤓 Both Plato and Confucious saw music as so fucking powerful it could lead to moral virtue or decay, something you will see play out in dictatorships, where music is supressed and controlled....

IMPROVE YOUR GAME 🤤
How philosophically sexy is golf?⛳ Some sports, like martial arts and surfing, are clearly philosophical, but golf is next level. A sport where you ultimately play yourself, striving for the perfect game, even when you know it’s impossible to achieve.😥 Golf is a metaphor for life, with the pressure of decisions which can change things in a heartbeat and the uncertainty as conditions continually change. Where the journey matters more than the destination, full ...

EROTIC INSPIRATION🔥
Art is a strange one.🎨 For most, it’s an expression of creativity; something undertaken if you have the means and talent. But art also has powers like nothing else.🪄 Art can change our minds or teach new ideas in an instant – no discussions, no arguments, no debate or deliberation – experience it and wham!🤯 Even whole conceptual frameworks can be challenged. Pablo Picasso’s cubist paintings showed us the world through multiple simultaneous perspectiv...

LET IT ALL HANG OUT 🤤
Know thyself, advised Socrates.👀 Easier said than fucking done.🤔 Existentialism revealed the impact others had on our sense of self, so unless you live in a fucking cave, knowing thyself includes knowing what others think as well.💭 And we can’t escape these opinions, our identity depends on them, and being judged poorly leads to feelings of shame.😞 That’s the part that screws us up most. Especially guys. Why? Because if you’re a guy, you have a di...

CONFIDENT AS FUCK 😏
Confidence is necessary for a good fuck.😎🤤 Self-doubt can kill the mood in a second as loops of negative inner talk take over.😵 Great fucking is a journey requiring full attention and a firm belief in yourself, but it is not the exclusive right of the body-beautiful or veterans with years of experience.🫦 Sexiness and confidence are intertwined, and unlike looks or experience, confidence is something everyone can build.👊

The seeds of self-d...

CHOPPING MY WOOD🔥
The oldest sharpened axe found is from roughly 50,000 years ago, which means we’ve been chopping firewood practically forever. 🪵🪓 To chop and cart wood properly requires physical power, so it’s no fucking surprise that, along with beauty, strength has been highly valued since day one. 💪 So much so that strength helped define who you could fuck till relatively recently. For the vast majority of human history, so long as you were dominant in something like a...
