I have to say I found this video, imensley interesting. I decided to watch the first two to get a better idea of what this man is saying.
The points he makes have validity, to an extent. He describes a dysfunctional sexual behaviour and ascribes this to the indoctrination of young males. He describes the nature of this dysfunction as the belief, the attitude the act of, pounding the vagina with the penis. He then touches, on the ideal sexual interaction between a man and a woman.
Now firstly, I would like to make it clear, especially to Princess of Cups, and to any others who have been intellectually stimulated, that it is wonderful that this man's ideas and method of deliver can bring you some enlightement.
The origins of sexual dysfunction, which Mr Lenon describes, are valid for those whose personal dysfunction has its origins there. But there are many other, often very different sources. There was a joke college prospectus, going around in the 7os, where one of the courses on offer was Guilt without Sex.
The point is that the presumption that the dysfunction has an identifiable origin, or that it is even undesirable, or perhaps, the word should be, avoidable, has not been demonstrated. Mr. Lenon is making an assumption. I'm sure that, if challanged, he would readly accept that there are many sources of sexual dysfunction. But I get the impression that he doesn't accept, or perhaps, understand, that there are many explainations for the reasons it exists.
There is a fundimental truism in evolution, that it seeks perfection. It is only because perfection is unatainable, that evolution must continue. It is only the continuation of evolution that creates better and more varied forms, leading to greater perfection.
But it goes further, that a feature, such as sexual dysfunction, would in the normal course of things, be detrimental to the organism if it served only a negative purpose. Because it clearly doesn't serve a negative purpose, as demonstrated by the success of humans.
Further, I might postulate, that the purpose of sexual dysfunction is to encourage yet more sexual exploration, leading to a greater variety of relationships. With a greater varierty of relationships, successive generations are more ready to explore new outlets for sexual expresion, leading to a greater mixing of the genes. For such genetically complex creatures as humans, with such complex problems, this greater mixing is more likely to create offspring better able to adapt to new challanges. As a comparison, the other, very unsuccessful higher primate lines, are surviving only through intervention by other specises, humans.
The feature of designed fault in seen elsewhere in evolution. The mechanism, the engine of evolution, is the random mutation of the genes. This mutation occurs because of faults in the coding sequences, passed on from one generation to the next. The fault, far from be detrimental, is fundimental. If the fault didn't exist, DNA would never have gotten past the stage of primordial soup.
So faults are positive forces in developments. Their solution is individual, depending upon the fault. If Princess of Cups, Mr Lenon or anyone else can find any sort of comfort or guidance in the ideas made in these videos, then that is a positive thing.
That much aside, what I do find a little disturbing is the postulate, from Mr Lenon, of an ideal in sexual relationships. This is somewhat reminiscent of some of the hetrosexual insistance from other, apparently similar black men in the US. I make reference to intellectual black men in the US, not to categorise or attack a race, nor to categorise or marginilise, all American black men, but simply because I have heard similar notions such as thos of Mr Lenon, before, but always from intellectual, clearly educated, black men in the US. Barak Obama, is also an educated, intellectual black American man, but I have no reason to believe he hold these views. (Since he is the President of the US, I certainly hope he doesn't).
I have made the point before about the nature of nazism. It is the belief in a singular truth. I haven't listened to any other of Mr Lenon's ideas. I will guess that these will also attempt to emcompas a similar singularity.
