Glans an explanation of the bulbocavernosus reflex – (BCR), bulbospongiosus reflex (BSR

From

“Your Body of Knowledge” copyright Robert Lawrence 2017

I have taught technique like this at an early iteration of this concept (Relaxed meditative orgasms taught in 1973 at More University in Petaluma CA – mea culpa), I then became a Chiropractor and later received an EdD in Sexuality—which gives me a unique appreciation of both voluntary and involuntary muscular responses during an arousal/orgasm cycle. This part of the intro is supported later by my writing bout other regions which can be stimulated to orgasm. But for now it is just the Glans.

…To relax the pelvic floor in a body trained since infancy (think toilet training!) to stay anally tight is an active meditation in relaxation and also a discipline of focused voluntary muscle awareness. Trying to reduce or sidestep the programming of decades by moving the pelvis voluntarily can tend to cause a relative attenuation—or deflation–of orgasmic pleasure achieved in this manner.

During clitoral stimulation—which could be called, with a greater degree of anatomical accuracy, glans stimulation–the flutters you may notice in the pubococcygeal muscles demonstrate voluntary muscle relaxation by showing a BCR (bulbocavernosus reflex). In humans, the glans is a sensory organ at the tip of our phallus designed to receive and process erotic touch (its associated brain location is central to and above the amygdala and hippocampus; the decision to relax completely during glans stimulation is most probably done by the amygdala/hippocampus route. A new study from Tye Lab – MIT has just been released, and it’s likely to cause a quite a paradigm shift).

As a person’s pelvic muscles become consciously and fully relaxed, the BCR likely shows up in response to well-timed, properly pressured lubricated touch. If the touch is too hard or too fast for the reflex, the muscles adapt and the elusive reflex goes away: said another way, overstimulation can overload light pressure and/or deep pressure receptors, so the reflex stops or goes away by adapting. Mild variation of pressure and/or slowing the speed of stimulation may solve this issue. If the stimulation is effective, the fluttering will continue and associated neural regions—i.e., a larger area of the pelvis than just the close in muscles—will begin to join in to build pleasurable sensation.

As this sensation increases it may spread beyond the pelvis, throughout the body. Once sensation increases to the point of orgasmic inevitability, orgasm is initiated in the brain (probably in the supraorbital prefrontal cortex—for more info on this fascinating study, see Komisaruk and Whipple’s study called Functional MRI of the Brain During Orgasm in Women at Rutgers). Although you may feel it in your pelvis, orgasm actually happens up between your ears. The brain sends a message for a general flexile contracture to the entire postural muscle system, and a full body involuntary flexive orgasm can ensue.

Open letter to Zeta Beta Tau International

Dear Laurence Bolotin, The entire system you are involved in promotes a high degree of intemperate behavior and poor manners all over the country. Closing the chapter house makes better sense as a warning to all such houses. Fraternity behavior is sadly predictable and you are the person at the helm so some of this fault is your own. First – Make good by providing complete coverage of all losses and expenses for the event your ill mannered boys desecrated. Secondly offer that project and all local US Veterans a new event paid by your besmirched fraternity. Each and every chapter can do this. [I can hear you all the way across the country now – Too expensive? – Then ask yourself what price is your honor sir?] During that event every person involved with ZBT from the newest pledge all the way up to you can personally apologize. This will allow you the privilege to engage and talk to the men and women who gave parts of their bodies for your freedom to party. Some of us gave some but we don’t – and will never again – see the ones who gave all. But by fraternal proxy you and the rest of ZBT can remember that it is ZBT spit dripping on the graves of honorable men. Shame on you. Shame on ZBT. Most Sincerely, Robert Lawrence, EdD,DC,DD

I really can’t remember whether it was the USNS Haleakala, Shasta or Kilauea but it was probably one of those AE’s that got my careful and complete attention that hot summer afternoon. She’d arrived a bit early and a bit fast but it was no nevermind to me as I was counting the mules on Pier 2 at the moment getting them ready to transfer over to Pier 3. The bay smelled of warm river water, not mud or brackish salt marsh, always a tell that the tide was mixing West and fast on a hot summer day. The infamous Suisun wind was up enough to make me tighten my hard hat and there was a mild chop on the bay. Suisun [sue soon] in Patwin means People of the West Wind. That wind is so consistent and strong that the trees that grow in its path all point a bit to the East. I suppose that’s why Travis Air Base was over there as it was an assist to the B-52’s take off runway. They could go out heavy and get into the air pretty quick. Now that low gray ship had slipped by me as I finished my inventory and I stood leaning against one of the forklifts, we called them mules, just enjoying the privilege of watching one of our finest munitions ships come home to dock at Pier 3. I though it a bit odd she was alone, no tugboat or pilot or zodiac was near and as an unescorted vessel it was an unusual site in that part of the bay. I watched and tried to figure out what she was doing, maybe moving on to Stockton? But no, she suddenly veered hard to port and slipping her tail just past the dock by about 25 yards seeming to run hard ahead out into the no mans land of the huge explosions of Pier 1 during World War 2. Nobody ever went out there. Well except for that really stoned and famous movie star and his girlfriend who got stuck in their pretty little sailboat in the shallows near Pier 2 a year or so before. Boy did that piss off the Master Chief. Anybody who sailed, or rowed or swam (if they were damn fool enough to try) past the red and white DO NOT ENTER – UNEXPLODED MUNITIONS buoys was a write off as far as I and most other Sacramento River Rats were concerned. Having grown up next to Suisun Bay they were a hazard you just never challenged. And the idea of stirring the remains of the sailors who gave their lives there and the idiocy of trying to bounce off a USN anti-ship mine or maybe a 100 pound bomb that was under the shallow water out there made almost all local folk be really uninterested in going past those warning buoys. But maybe this Captain was training and in a hurry to try a combat style docking method. He had the ship pointed toward the shallows and turned a few degrees NorthWest by this time and suddenly went full reverse (maybe hard starboard with the rudder?) looking as if he was trying to back the ship into a turn and then cleverly parallel dock in reverse on pier 3 against the combined strength of both the San Joaquin and Sacramento rivers as they rushed together into the channel called Carquinez (Ohlone for the Karkin tribe) Strait which at the moment was draining an area about the size of the Tennessee into a narrow little deep channel six miles away and a thousand yards across. Now that backed up body of water is a bit unusual as all the flow swells and reverses back into the delta between Sacramento and Stockton trying to get out of the Central Valley so it forms an inverted V to make kind of a reverse river delta. It concentrates water flow along the deep shipping channel and if you think you know something about river deltas you got a cute surprise when you find that while you just pulled a hard to the port turn the wind is suddenly leaning against your port side and the water is pushing exceptionally hard against your Starboard hull so you end up in a kind of stall which will reverse your intention. Anyone who has boated that region will tell you that all boats are sailboats in Suisun. The Sacramento River Delta is different. It usually had less of the Suisun wind – but not today. As she stalled into irons the steel ship’s captain tried really hard to avoid what happed next. The engines shifted again and her propellers stopped and began to churn hard ahead as the captain realized the ship was going to drift back neatly into the pier. Ever so slowly she slid backwards crabbing slowly a bit as the underwater current (sometimes over 3 knots) treated her rudder and hull as a kind of upside down sail and pulled her back, swinging her bow around, stern to the port as she crunched slowly thru the telephone pole sized pilings and skidded a bit thru railings tossing chunks of lumber, asphalt covered decking and river water into the air. I stood there watching, all alone on one of the two surviving Port Chicago piers wondering if I would be the sole lost witness if she took enough damage to catch fire or explode so I picked up my radio’s microphone and called to the Naval Weapons Station Trans Division Dispatch. “2 this is 39, over.” “39 this is 2.” I paused as she began to turn further down stream yawing a tiny bit like a sailors first steps on land, wondering again what fresh hellish joy would happen next to this benighted captain. “2, please call the Station Captain, the Coast Guard and Fire Department out to Pier 3. You might as well call security too.” “Please repeat?” “One of our ships has just struck Pier 3 and we’ve got damage to the pier.” “Damage?” “ Yep, she’s busy as a beaver right now.” I held my microphone up pointing it towards the raucous moist lumber chewing noise, keying it on as the wet crunchy nautical cacophony went on. Putting the microphone back toward my mouth I said, “Hear that?” In the background the immense heavy crunching noise went on as the prop and stern of the ship chewed the western pilings of pier 3 to small car sized chunks, pieces of piling throwing into the air and splashing back into the now muddy channel. “Roger 39, calling the captain now.” As it never really paid a civilian employee to get involved in the mysterious methods of the US Navy I decided that having called the services needed to get it taken care of I was certainly not qualified to stand any nearer or testify in endless queries about who saw what so my job was finished. I started the truck and did my idle best to disappear quietly down the pier towards the motor pool. As I left the scene I caught sight of the Coast Guard Tug heading toward the mess. I could only imagine what the Master Chief of the CG station was going to say to the soon to be desk jockey who had crashed into his dock, I knew it would be very choice. As the tug made fast contact and pushed the ship around and back toward the other end of the pier the Station Captain’s car pulled up on the pier then carefully up on the loading deck driving up the ramp to stop near the ship as she made to the dock. The breeze has stilled for a moment and from a distance I watched as he pulled his cap off and wiped his brow with his forearm, looking not to the damaged pier, he seemed to not care about that. He stared out across Suisun Bay with that sailor’s endless thousand mile stare of his. He knew this wasn’t real trouble for him or our country. But it would be a royal upbraiding for the skipper of the ship. It seems that Port Chicago is not a kind place for captains. But I will always wonder what was going through his mind. He looked as if he could see all the way to mount Shasta. But I never asked, I just drove away and headed back to my beans, I think we played tonk that night.

Teacup Kitty Obituary

Rest In Peace
TEACUP THE CAT
APRIL 15, 1995 – SEPTEMBER 13, 2012

Born in the parking lot of the Quick-Way in Downtown Oakland Teacup was adopted at 4 weeks of age and moved into our home in Hayes Valley at the tender age of two months. Quickly establishing herself as a familiar with direct conduit to wisdom and love she joined our family along with her womb sister Bracelet. She was always treated with tender respect and never lost a game of paw wrestling with anyone. After I became disabled she kept me safe and watched out for me by sitting on my chest and keeping me from moving. Ever a gentle being she never clawed or bit and modeled calm feral joy for everyone who ever visited. After a long protracted illness she surrendered her mortal coil to travel in Mrrr and keep an eye out for our spirits from a place beyond our ken. She is survived by her sister Bracelet and her human family Carol, Robert and Dina all of us shall miss her always and look forward to listening on dark nights for her very uncatlike heavy footsteps in rooms and hallways and the occasional quick passing glimpse of her tail or blinking eyes in dim lit rooms. Blessed be our familiar, she is missed by all who met her. Donations may be made to your altar in the form of catnip, Marabou feathers, tears or dead mice. Her spirit shall travel wherever it may, curious and loving as always. Please hold a place in your heart for her, she shall be missed.

Good Bye and Fare Well Sweet Kitty.

Yours Always,
Robert

Lunar Calendar? Chauvet Cave Mystery – Rhino Lunacy!

Rhinos tell time

Here’s an imgpress photo of Rhinos from the Cave at Chauvet. I have no formal education in ancient cave art but I did hunt as a young man so let’s take a hunters look at this picture. I also have a couple of doctorates after my name so I can think a bit too…

There are seven long horns and four shoulders all of which are semi-lunar in appearance. Now I’m not a numbers nut but 7 times 4 = 28, the days of a lunar month. This could very well be the earliest lunar calendar in recorded history. As a mystery it would have been a way to teach basic monthly time to people and its many ramifications. The periodicity from light to dark which can be observed for hunting, planting and reproduction, etc. is of utmost importance in outdoor living, ranked amongst water, shelter, food and clothing – here to be shown to anyone with eyes. The longest horns are moving  from left to right and the shoulders and bodies of the Rhinos go from dark to light. This is waiting to be shown as an indication of the cyclic nature of the moon.  Any bow hunters reading this are free to comment on the bow shapes and black line but I don’t know if the line or any of it is all contemporary. Did they have anything like a bow then? Is the shaded band midline an indication of the softest spot in the Rhino’s hide?

 In one image I was able to get the suggestion that perhaps there is a round lighter patch lined out under the horns but as the images I get to work with are copies of copies I cannot confirm what my old eyes and various lighting of photoshop to see. But maybe some well funded researcher can take a closer look from an old hunters viewpoint and send along an email?
