Self mutilation

Self Mutilation...I just don't get it! I ran into a blog here yesterday and if I could recall the name I would post it, but he had picture after picture of a self mutilated penis. Not the same guy but many different. On the bottom of every picture he had the notation WTF (what the fuck)!

I don't get it. Why do people do this? Does slicing and dicing their own tool feel good somehow? And afterward I can't imagine what sex would be like not to mention having a normal functioning penis.

Oh and what about all the piercings...I am sorry, but I just don't see the reason for that either. And women have them also, not just one or two but many. If it feels good, then why doesn't one piercing feel as good 2 or ten or 30?

I am hoping that this is not becoming the norm like most people now having a tattoo or 10! LOL!! I am still un-inked and proud of it.

I don't blog often anymore, but when something makes an impression good or otherwise, I will be here.

Hope your summer is going well!

 A few years ago I happened to catch Ringo Starr on a talk show, it may have been Oprah, I don't remember for sure. During a question and answer period a women from the audience asked Ringo why he had so many earrings in his ear. His response, "Just to be trendy, my dear"

I don't get it either, all of my kids have tattoos, my daughter has various piercings. I have no doubt that there's a little bit of rebellion in the fad. I can't help but wonder how many of the more intricate tattoos on twenty-somethings are going to look when they are in their sixties. My guess is that they are going to be an indecipherable mess. It's all part of the human desire to be different while being the same. It makes very little sense.

Having said that, when I was in college, I did get my ear pierced. It wasn't as popular as it is today, it was still a bit unusual for a straight male to wear an earring then. I heard the snide comments from those who didn't "get it".

It's a fad which will pass and the babies who are being born today, will look at their tattooed, pierced and mutilated parents and will do everything they can to not resemble them.....
