Question:
- Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – =20 =20 "There is nothing so unclean as a woman in her period." – Saint Jerome= =3D One of my ex-girlfriends used to say something like that. =20 ** Which church was educating (inculcating) her when she was five to n= ine? Richard, PLEASE…… Why always looking for a connection with churches, organised religion and all the other nightmares that seem to haunt you? ** I bailed out when I came to understand church doctrine. I was 13 at the time.
Your history on arcrc demonstrates otherwise. So you know a lot of big words. Understanding all the vocabulary words used in doctrine doesn’t equate to its comprehension (as you often demonstrate). At 13, it sounds more like the common questioning accompanying adolescence that you never outgrew. (didn’t receive the answers you wanted?) <snip
Response:
– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – … What Jerome should have said is :- "There are few things so dangerous as a woman just before her period." . Damned pheremones. Ahem… surely, hormones? ** Sorry – Pheromones is the correct spelling. Female pheromones air airbourne substances that effect a male’s Jacobs gland, which in turn controls blood flow into and out of the male member. From observation, there is some variation in female pheromones, even between sisters. When a male meets a female who emits the right pheromones, tumescense results and things can happen. Oddly enough, the male’s nose can not detect the smell of female pheromones. However, the Jacobs gland does, but the brain is not aware of anything unusual. Of *pheremones*, that was indeed the correct spelling – however, I believe I said *hormones*? Hormones are things that make it advisable to hide the sharp knives and be especially sympathetic, understanding and compliant at certain times of the month, in certain company. I assume you must either be be celibate, or very, very young?
