The hair pull is a nice move, though obviously choking would have been even better:

For over two decades, I would wake up with an erection. I often joke that my cock is a “monster that demands to be fed.” Even when having regular sex, I enjoy porn.

I’ve also been a caffeine addict, drinking 1-2 pots of strong coffee each day. As part of a detox, I stopped drinking coffee.

The first night I slept sixteen hours. The second night, fourteen. For the next several days my mind was sluggish and my body was weak. Dead lifting 50 pounds less than last week’s weight felt twice as hard.

I also become impotent.

Nothing could get me up. My horny girlfriend kept nagging me for sex. I told her, “Look at it. It won’t move. Try if you want, but nothing is going to happen.”

She couldn’t do anything to turn me on. I laughed.

There was no insecurity or apologies. I didn’t have “performance anxiety.” Nor was I upset. My cock and I are great friends. We go way back, and I understood that the detox was depriving him of his usual nutrients.

I thought it was funny. “You don’t turnn me on anymore. Let’s just be brothers and sisters.”

In truth, I didn’t even achieve an erection from porn. Impotence was amazing.

Being impotent gave me a chance to experiment with Buddha’s philosophy. Buddha, like other monks and ascetics, believed that all human suffering was caused by desire.

If we simply stopped wanting things, we’d stop suffering. Thus, Buddha’s Four Noble Truths:

1. Suffering exists
2. Suffering arises from attachment to desires
3. Suffering ceases when attachment to desire ceases
4. Freedom from suffering is possible by practicing the Eightfold Path

As an impotent man, I no longer desired sex. My “attachment to desire ceased.” I was thus free from the suffering of my cock’s extreme sexual urges.

Four days later and my cock is back to normal. Having lived the Buddhist’s Paths, I can tell you something.

Desire feels great, because desire compels you to action. The man who wants nothing is moved to accomplish nothing.

My swollen loins inspire me to get out of bed and into the gym. The same circulatory and endocrine systems that power my erections fuel my body with rage.

Rage feels good. Hate feels good. Contemplating the destruction of another person feels awesome.

Pleasure is a great thing. The freedom from desire impotence gave me was nothing compared to the pleasure of an orgasm.

Buddha was a revolting beta male who quit life because he was too afraid to suffer, strive, and accomplish.

Cooking for yourself has several benefits. Chief among them: You know what’s in your food. Today I ate steamed organic carrots and Siberian kale, grass-fed ground beef and two eggs. It’s a perfect lunch.

Meanwhile, national grocer Safeway announced it was pulling pink slime from it’s stores. The implication of Safeway’s decision is that you’ve been eating this stuff for decades:

Boneless lean beef trimmings refers to an industrial product created from beef trimmings using particular processes; these products are occasionally referred to using the neologism pink slime. These processes, which include meat trimmings passing through a centrifuge, and (in the most common process) being exposed to ammonia gas, have drawn attention as the subject of possible health and consumer concerns.

A 2012 ABC News investigative report indicated that 70 percent of ground beef (beef mince) contains the lean beef, and that the USDA has allowed it to go unlabeled over the objection of a few of its own scientists.

When you cook for yourself, you can source your ingredients. Farmer’s markets have become prevalent, and even people in flyover states can order from Eat Wild. When you cook your own food, you’re putting your health first.

Even if you want to cook for yourself, you probably find shopping for cookware daunting. I spent an hour fucking around at Bed Bath and Beyond last night.

In truth, you only need three things to cook in a manly kitchen. Additional items are nice but not needed. If you’re a smart shopper, you can outfit your kitchen for around $50-100.

First, you need to eat your vegetables. Veggies taste better when steamed. What more is that several vegetables are healthier when steamed:

Kale can provide you with some special cholesterol-lowering benefits if you will cook it by steaming. The fiber-related components in kale do a better job of binding together with bile acids in your digestive tract when they’ve been steamed. When this binding process takes place, it’s easier for bile acids to be excreted, and the result is a lowering of your cholesterol levels. Raw kale still has cholesterol-lowering ability–just not as much.

Carrots are delicious eaten raw or cooked. While heating can often damage some of the delicate phytonutrients in vegetables, the beta-carotene as found in carrots has been shown to be surprisingly heat-stable. In fact, carrots’ beta-carotene may become more bioavailable through well-timed steaming. Still, be careful not to overcook carrots if you want to your carrots to retain their maximum flavor and strong overall nutritional value.

A quality steamer is only $25. Here’s the one I have.

Second, you need something to cook eggs and grass-fed beef in. If you’re only cooking for yourself or yourself and one or two other people, a 10″ skillet will do the job. I have this bad boy in 14″, but 10″ works well enough. Last I checked, they were under $30.

Third, you need something to flip your eggs and burgers with. Since you’re cooking on stainless steel, use a metal pancake turner. (The “non-stick pans” are toxic waste dumps; throw virgin coconut oil into your stainless steel pan to avoid toxins and get the health benefit of coconut oil.)

My kitchen has a lot more than a pan, veggie steamer, and pancake turner. I enjoy cooking for myself and friends and can talk about kitchenware all day.

Most guys, though, don’t need to get too fancy. Get a pan, steamer, and something to flip your burgers and eggs with, and you’ll be well on your way to a healthier, fitter lifestyle.

Two or three years ago every girl at the gym was pedaling away on the bike or stepping on the stair climber reading the same book. The book cover was light yellow and appeared to have some sort of cartoon butterfly on it. Surely they were all reading another stupid Harry Potter type book, I thought.

After leaving a long-term relationship, I started getting more aggressive with women. I would spank them hard, pull their hair, bite their necks, and give them orgasms.

I kept waiting for a girl to tell me, “No, you’re going to far.” The farther I pushed the boundaries, the more these women wanted to keep getting fucked.

Years later I watched the film version of the book all of those gym girls had been reading, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo:

Shocking and brutal, the rape of Lisbeth Salander by her guardian/probation officer is the inciting incident to the quest for revenge that helps power “The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.” Portrayed starkly and disturbingly in the original Swedish film adaptation of the book, the American, David Fincher-directed movie version also sought to bring to screen the unmerciful sequence of events described on the pages of Stieg Larsson’s hit novel.

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo is basically a book about rape. It sold 13 million copies.

A more recent breakthrough hit, 50 Shades of Grey, is also a book about rape:

The novel’s protagonist, Christian Grey, has a dungeon with all the extras and asks his partner to sign a non-disclosure agreement that spells out on the written page that she will do what he tells her, no questions asked. He tells Anastasia — who doesn’t know what to make of the situation except that she really, really likes it — straight out that he’ll never ever spend the night with her — that basically, he’s all about the sex, NOT the cuddling.

Men treat the question, “What do women want?” as a mystery.

Women want to be dominated. They want to be choked unconscious, fucked in the mouth, tied up, and have their hair pulled.

I’ve said this for years, and now have the book publishing data to prove it.

Push the boundaries. While you might be thinking, “This has to be too much,” she is thinking, “More!”

George Graham Vest speaking:

“Gentlemen of the jury, the best friend a man has in this world may turn against him and become his enemy. His son or daughter whom he has reared with loving care may prove ungrateful. Those who are nearest and dearest to us — those whom we trust with our happiness and good name — may become traitors in their faith. The money that a man has he may lose. It flies away from him, perhaps when he needs it most. A man’s reputation may be sacrificed in a moment of ill-considered action. The people who are prone to fall on their knees to do us honor when success is with us may be the first to throw the stone of malice when failure settles its cloud upon our heads. The one absolute, unselfish friend that man can have in this selfish world — the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous — is his dog.

“Gentlemen of the jury, a man’s dog stands by him in prosperity and poverty, in health and sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground, where the wintry winds blow, and the snow drives fiercely, if only he can be near his master’s side. He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer; he will lick the wounds and sores that come in encounter with the roughness of the world. He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince. When all other friends desert, he remains. When riches take wings and reputation falls to pieces, he is as constant in his love as the sun in its journey through the heavens.

“If fortune drives the master forth an outcast in the world, friendless and homeless, the faithful dog asks no higher privilege than that of accompanying him to guard against danger, to fight against his enemies. And when the last scene of all comes, and death takes the master in its embrace, and his body is laid away in the cold ground, no matter if all other friends pursue their way, there by his graveside will the noble dog be found, his head between his paws, his eyes sad but open in alert watchfulness, faithful and true even to death.”

When taking care of my 3-year-old god daughter, I learned a trick that works equally well on women.

My god daughter would throw huge tantrums. She threw tantrums because they were effective attention-seeking behaviors. Her screams let to people trying to placate her.

People placate children not out of love, but out of weakness. They lack the emotional integrity to remain steadfast in the face of screams and tears. When a child is crying, even anger is beta.

When a child cries, a real man feels nothing – except, perhaps, amusement.

As my god daughter screamed and floundered on the floor like a violent fish pulled out of water, I pulled out my iPhone. As her parents took hundreds of pictures and videos of her, she knew what was going to happen next.

Her eyes opened widely. She got silent.

“No, no, please continue. I want to take a video of your fit, so I can show it to everyone.”

She lost it, and started screaming again. According to my iPhone timer, she flailed, yelled, and rolled for two minutes and thirty-one seconds.

She sprinted to the bedroom, passed out from exhaustion, and never threw a fit around me again.

When your girl acts out, don’t get sucked in to a fight. Instead, take out your smart phone and start taking pictures. Tell her you want to post the pictures to Facebook.

Hold tightly to the phone, however, as she will violently grab for it. She may even claw at you – and throw punches.

When a girl comes at me violently, I use the gentle art of Jiu Jitsu. Pin her down.  Apply pressure. Leave no marks.

Let her fight against your larger mass until she wears herself out.

Your girl will have fewer outbursts – not only because you’ve taught her that fits are ineffective, but because she will love you more.

A woman is a wave crashing against the rocks. A rock that doesn’t move contains and confines her will – rendering her helpless and therefore happy.

Women are aging better than men. For every George Clooney, there are a hundred guys with turkey necks and lines carved in their foreheads. For every well-aging man, there are two women who look better for their age.

There’s a reason women are aging better than men, and that reason is sunscreen. What most people consider aging is really just sun damage. Losing skin tonality, in other words, is not an internal natural process as much as it’s the result of external damage.

Compare a 40-year-old school teacher’s face to a working man’s face. The teacher’s face, unexposed to sun light, will have few lines. The skin will remain taught. The skin will slightly glow.

The man’s face will have deep line carved across his forehead. His facial skin will be dull and starting to sag.

The first rule of skincare for men is to wear sunscreen. If all a man did to his skin was apply a moisturizing sunscreen in the morning, he would look five years younger. (With a proper skincare routine, he’ll look ten years younger.)

There are hundreds of sunscreens on the market, leaving most men confused. There’s no need to be confused if you keep four things in mind:

• The sunscreen must offer UVA and UVB protection;
• The sunscreen must no clog your pores;
• The sunscreen must moisturize;
• The sunscreen should be paraben-free, as parabens are estrogenic.

You need two different sunscreens – one for daily office use, and one for serious outdoor use.

I use Vanicream sunscreen, and consider it among the best in breed. It’s titanium and zinc oxides provide full protection against skin-destroying UVA and UVB rays.

However, Vanicream is thick and can leave some white patches on your skin if, like most guys, you don’t spend several minutes working it into the skin. That’s fine for heavy outdoor use, but can look weird in the office.

Most guys want a “glob and move” sunscreen. Get a blog into your hands, smear it on your face, and get away from the bathroom mirror.

Neutrogena is a great daily-use sunscreen. It’s non-oily, so it won’t clog your pores or make your nose look like a greasy pizza. It’s also affordable.

If you have dry skin, Cetaphil Fragrance Free Daily Facial Moisturizer will be right for you. Cetaphil has extra moisturizing properties. Where as it might make a person with oily skin look greasy, it will make a person with dry skin have a moist face.

My skincare regime involves far more than merely wearing sunscreen, and future posts will focus on advanced anti-aging protocols – including serums.

If you’re not wearing sunscreen before sun exposure, nothing else you do will matter. Once you’ve started wearing daily sunscreen, you’ll be ready for more advanced skincare tactics.
