Archive-title: Erosian Theory and Practice
Erosian Doctrine #1
( A dictate for all Erosians to learn from. The need for
communications, knowledge and non-agressive sexuality )
Amongst Erosian Theorist, communications must remain open.
Understanding is the essence of knowledge, and lack of
communication breeds darkness and speculation. Contempt
for the lifestyle of another or the specific likes and
dislikes of anothers sexual tastes is bred from two
parents.
The first is ignorance and closemindedness. This stems
from the inability of the normal person to view openly
individual tastes as their own. From the beginning of
time, man has grouped together in ignorance to destroy
what he did not understand. With our abilities and
foresight today, we as a race should long have accepted
what we do not understand, and seek to nurture it and to
learn from it. However, we still hunt down and kill those
lifestyles which do not meet with the approval of certain
religions, ethical values, and other social restraints.
However, if we as a race have not learned to nurture the
unknown, we at least should have learned how to leave it
alone and allow those better equipped to deal with it
handle, work with and enjoy its benefits. However, society
at large has done neither, and as a rule 'witch hunts'
still exist, seeking to route out and destroy what is not
understood. Erosian Theory is seeking not to change the
minds or ways of society as a whole. We instead are
focusing on ourselves. Taking the belief that change is
best from within, we are seeking to come to terms within
ourselves and within our group, focusing upon our
individual sexuality, and working to building a guilt
free, sexually understood inner community. I believe that
if a group of people come together and support the concept
of Erosian Theory, small, internal groups within the
community will be formed, where members can receive
feedback on their individual guilt concepts concerning
sex, and live under a liberal guideline concerning sex. If
we strip away the layers of false information concerning
sexual practice and it's purported deviant side, and
merely assume the rules found in the Code of Conduct, we
can pursue doggedly our individual sexual interests, and
have a strong belief to fall back on when surrounded by
feelings of guilt. In a sense, we will strip away within
our minds, those ideas which cause us guilt, and replace
them with the concepts of the Erosian Code of Conduct, a
belief parallel to standard practice thinking on
sexuality.
Another factor, and one of the parents of contempt for our
type of sexuality, is the preditory factor. This is the
factor that causes women to see men as animals, and causes
alternate lifestyle sexuality (see Code of Practice) to be
deemed in our society as sick. The man who is constantly
'coming on' to women, overtly trying for sexual
gratification, is seen for what he is; an abusive, using
chauvinistic male who has only his own interests at heart.
At the same time the person who molests children or
helpless adults, or the person who forces his sexuality on
another creates that image that says "We as normal adults
will not perform the type of acts that someone as deviant
as that man did". This convicts the act, and not the
attitude or atmosphere it was performed under.
Obviously this sounds well and good to you. You say to
yourself, " I'm not a sicko. I may have my own interests,
but I don't rape people or molest kids." And you're right,
but you may be guilty of forced sexuality. I can remember
the first time I went into an adult bookstore. It was one
of those with the booth films in the back, and not knowing
better, I went in, sat down, and dropped a quarter in the
slot. Seconds later, someone entered the other booth next
to the one I was in and reached through the hole (cut
between the two) and attempted to fondle me. Now, whether
I was desiring of that action or not, someone was
attempting to push their sexuality on me. But I understood
the atmosphere of the place, and said in a clear voice,
"NO, I'm not interested." Now, had the action stopped at
this point, everything would have been okay, but the guy
took no heed of my request, and the hand returned. Sadly
enough, I had to make my point strongly.
Now, the above example should teach you two things about
Erosian Theory. First - We do not encourage sexual
activity in any way where one person involved feels
uncomfortable or expresses a lack of interest in the
activity. No means No ! Second - It is extremely
dangerous, and only harmful to Erosian Theory & Practice
to goad, coerce, irriate, and attempt unsuccessfully
frequently to gain a sexual liason with an unwilling
partner.
Communications is essential for Erosian Theory and
Practice to work. Without it, we are stranded within
ourselves, and we lose the sounding board of the Erosian
Community. Never feel guilt concerning your lifestyle, and
respect others and help to remove any guilt from theirs.
