Schopenhauer recounts that, on a very cold day, a group of porcupines approached each other to warm themselves. However, the closer they got, the more their quills hurt each other. They moved away, but the cold returned. After several attempts, they discovered that the best solution was to maintain an intermediate distance: close enough to warm each other, but not so close as to hurt each other. He concludes by applying this to human beings: The need for companionship and affection brings us closer, but our flaws, selfishness, and personality "thorns" end up causing pain. The solution is usually a polite distance—neither total isolation nor excessive intimacy.

Hey everyone! Have you ever stopped to think that a typical orgasm lasts like… 10 seconds and then it's over? Osho said that in Tantra there's something else: the so-called valley orgasm. You relax, get into the rhythm, and it can go on for hours… and that nice vibe pulsates all day afterward. No rush, no crazy explosion. Just pleasure that doesn't end right away. So, did you like the idea or do you think it's something out of this world? #orgasm
