Not sure if there's any connection between sex and creativity.

At least, I didn't notice but maybe that's just me.

 

Sex is divine, like music.

 

Making music is pure masterbation.

 

I'm not sure how different it is for women but, sperm is a life force. which in essence "creates" another life. wasting sperm i.e masturbation is like wasting the potential to create. So what happens when its not in use within the body? scientists speculate and theorize what happens within the body. But, from experience abstaining from sex for a whole year and masturbation helped "rewire" my though pattern helping me have razor focus. I not only learned how to play the piano and guitar but I learned how to code. Something I've been wanting to do for the past 4 years. it was hard especially the masturbation part but I got through it.

 

Its interesting that 'wanking' has negative social connotations, even in music. I'm reminded of a term much used used by players and musos I knew from the 80's onwards. "Wanking off /all over it/the place" describes a particular style of (mostly) guitar playing. Characterised by Self-indulgent cascades of licks, riffs and other ejaculations tastelessly spurted across the audio-rhythmic spectrum with no regard for thematic development, honest emotional content or, crucially, what the other dudes were playing.

Occasionally a "bunch of wankers" all do this together, producing identically pointless & spurious wedges of gatefold prog rock/jazz/classical records that none of them could remember how to play 3 days later. Some critics describe the style as devoid of character, but I disagree - there are many kinds of total, boring, evil, rude or even slimy wankers.

Is most masturbation just as pointless as a bad, busy solo? Both are much better done with your imagination than with something you found on the internet.

On the subject of couple sex, real improvisation requires listening.

Orgasms can last forever with the right partner, and holy shit, when the right musicians play lots of notes, they are definitely not wanking in your face.

Thanks for listening ;)

 

If you're so completely preoccupied with sex then give up playing music and leave it up to those of us who play music as our primary passion. Perhaps seek medical or psychiatric help, if you can't stop jackin' off continuously.

 

"All what I have is intended for others" (Georges Bataille).

He meant all without exception. We spend ourselves, it's unavoidable. And yes, it's our life and our dying. But may be we are able to choose how to spend ourselves...

 

Also worth pointing out that..

If you do the very same thing on any other instrument like:
Piano, Violin, Flute, Clarinet, Cello, Bass.. or even Banjo, Harmonica, Trumpet or Sax, etc.
Then you're a Virtuoso.

But if you do it on Guitar, you're a Wanker.. lol


Ofc if it's mindless or of bad taste, it will suck,
I'm not denying that and it can happen in any instrument/style music..

But there's always been a very strong bias to consider guitarist wankers,
while other instrument players are not.. why?

It's because there's a lot of them?

Or because guitar is difficult, and:
It makes it hard to be as structurally coherent/decorative and self-contained as a Piano,
but also hard to be as melodically Expressive and pure as a Violin or Flute?

Why isn't guitar melodic playing equally liked/respected,
when it's only a reflection of what derives naturally from the instrument's design/nature,
and sometimes a very developed and unique/particular sounding one at that?

 

Btw, reading the comments here... I hope you guys are single, cause imposing that kind of boring view on your partners would be a crime against humanity.

 

Well, my, of course
Why do you think I shake my romantic tool in the first place??

 

what? who said that I was masturbating continuously? regardless, I've gone a year an a half without sex and masturbation an I've learned the piano and guitar fluently, and Ive started to code. honestly your negativity in the subject matter just shows how immature you are as a person.
psychiatric help? really? I realize that some people will always be stuck in cycle of narcissism.

 

Everyone should watch the 2nd video, this basically what is all about, this is why people in modern world are unmotivated and music, movies, art sucks.
There are so many more easy pleasure triggers that kill your creativity nowadays compared to the 60s, 70s or 80s when people went and did what had to be done to reach their goals.

 

What Hazel said. Energetically you have a fuel tank. Orgasm depletes that fuel tank gradually, plus scrambles your brain, you lose the energy that can be converted to creativity. Energy = life force is filled back up into your tank, when sleeping. If you sleep more, you'll have more energy. Energy types are various: there is intellectual energy for engineers and programmers. There is movement energy for construction workers and fighters. There is emotional energy for religious priests.
All these energy types have their corresponding centre in your body. As a consequence all these centers will be vampirically feeding FROM each other, if you fail to achieve Abstinence.

Regards sexual energy there are various types of people: some may weather multiple orgasms and still have some creativity left. But the rest of the artist, like us, have a very little special tank for creative energy.

Some writers, like Stephen King, write from their crotch, they use sexual energy to create their books. The following is true for any type of real art field:

True innovation in music - on the level of Beatles, like John Lennons
'Imagine There's No Countries:' comes from a very tiny fuel tank, that is filled up very slowly, it requires many sleeps as its faucet is only releasing drops of "water".
True innovation is so very rare, because it uses this special type of tiny fuel tank. Most people never innovate in their life - in music - or in any other field of art or science. Some people only are able to innovate once in their lifetime and this special fuel tank is then depleted for them, their life changes so much, they can never fill this rare energy type back.

True artists are very much aware of this fact. Billy Joel, who created - New York State Of Mind - out of nothing, stated that he stopped writing, because he was done. Any further work from him would just muddle the landscape of masterpieces, he created.

 

Oh yeah, the famous "back in the day" where successful artists had unlimited access to sex and drugs.

 

That also came after he met the woman with whom he started fucking like a rabbit.

 

Looks like we've got a lot of orgasm scientists in here.

 

I think collectively we learn better as a community. Sharing ideas and experiences is the foundation of human progression. If we can learn an work together to expose truths rather then mindless banter of whose right and whose wrong then maybe, we can start to see each others perspective.

 

95% of all art was created out of the artist's struggle to get laid.

95% of the art not created with this impulse in mind is terrible.
