I was looking for an ice breaker for one of my classes and I recalled the old Ma and Pa Kettle math. A funny clip on how you do the math https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8XMeocLflc . Then I found an Abbott & Costello spoof on "7 into 28" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MS2aEfbEi7s . In the list I saw a Ted Talk regarding Mathematics and Sex. I thought, how can you relate the two? The author was interesting, but I had to view two times through to try to access what was her point. She showed some formulas, but did not explain anything. I saw other related topics on sex.
As a sex addict, I was a little concerned about going down this path and watching these presentations on sex. Would it be like the alcoholic that has a drink or a drug addict that tries another drug. Yet, an Israeli, Ran Gavrieli, spoke on "why I stopped watching porn." he basically equated it to exploitation of women. He has a BA in gender studies and working on a PhD on the same topic. That means he has done extensive research on the topic. So the question lingers: "If pornography is bad in the long run, why is it so acceptable?" The proverb I read today comes to mind. There is a way that seems right to a person, but the end thereof is death (in Proverbs 14).
Gavrieli states: "Israel is not dealing with it. Not yet. Just like the U.S., the Israeli government cares more about money and taxes coming in from porn than it cares about [the] education, values and identity of the next generations.”
