Few of us would likely look at the above photo and find it either enticing on the one hand or disgusting on the other. We’d likely have a variety of views ranging from delight to “yuck!” But there are other images on which we’d be less divided. It’s exactly such images that the advertising industry uses so effectively to appeal to mass markets.
Pleasure is not the only thing that motivates us, but it is huge. That is true for all organisms. There are pleasure centers in our brains that process and store sensory experiences that we have evolved to reproduce if we can. The growing research of neuroscience reveals both that pleasure goes hand in hand with a personal sense of well-being and that there is such a thing as maxxing out on pleasure.
The reason why we’re taking a look at this rich area is obvious: pleasure is a key issue in sexual life (and sensory life in general) and also a hot button topic in spiritualities as well. Human beings have a history of not being entirely clear on just what the dynamics of pleasure are—hence the conflicted notions and feelings about pleasure itself. Does it enhance growth, impede growth, or both? If there is a “golden mean” between too little pleasure and too much, how is that middle ground discovery, and how is it important to overall well-being?
Join us and
• take a look at what gives you pleasure and what robs you of it
• enjoy the opportunity of discussing frankly a topic that touches all men yet rarely is discussed on a personal, intimate level
• gather some tools that will help you discern better how to navigate a culture that constantly teases us to go after more pleasure and very, very rarely discusses the limits of pleasure without becoming judgmental about it.
