Shakespeare further elaborates their dismissive speech over Bianca to arouse Othello’s suspicion into conviction that Desdemona is having a love affair. This conviction leads Othello into anguish and frustration. If Cassio has paid attention to Bianca’s traits other than sexuality, there would have been no failure of men. Thus, men’s view of women solely through a sexual lens has incurred a

As cited earlier, one of the driving motivational forces for explaining male pornography use and abuse is the need to humiliate sources of beauty and sexual objects and persons of affection - that in reality - can never be realized. In fact, in this type of case scenario, pornography use and abuse is a coping mechanism for unresolved anger and social rejection. In many cases, sexual fantasies that seem to assist with anger reduction and coping with social rejection are those fantasies that humiliate the sexual object of affection. Moreover, some males will go to extreme measures in order to experience the ultimate orgasmic highs associated with applying humiliation upon the sexual object or person of affection such as: viewing males or females

The first being that the reactions were nothing but an attempt by to hide their own sexual desires, a desire that has been identified as a taboo for the whole society. Had they let go of the sexuality within them, we may have seen another face of their personality that could have been extremely similar to that of the males in the room. However, given the situation in which they were put and the way in which they had to act (which was shaped by the discourse of misunderstanding feminine sexuality), they hand nothing but to present a fake reaction of discomfort and disturbance. By using the same framework of analysis on the aroused reaction of the male guests, one could say that their so-called ‘second’ personality appeared. The situation, in which they have been put, was able to bring to the surface the animalistic sexual side of them that has been correspondingly alive right beside their prestigious masculine

Someone may ask “If I don’t know for certain if God exists or not, why should I act a certain way and lose earthly pleasures?” Pascal thinks that this is not irrational. He says this because we do it all the time; he looks at lotteries, life insurance, and education - in all of these cases, a (relatively) small amount of something is given away in the hope of getting back a better, much (relatively) larger thing in the future. This point is especially credible because heaven - to every human being - is a possible infinite gain. He believes that if it’s reasonable to plan for the near future, how is it not reasonable to plan for the distant future - in other terms after death. We all are guaranteed to fall into Death’s grasp, and we all must act for or against God’s existence.

Watching sex on screen is fascinating for me on many levels. At the most primal one is me also feeling sexually aroused as I allow myself to get immersed in the scene and identify with the characters doing the deed. Then I start thinking: what do these actors actually feel or think about while they are fucking? How difficult is it to act out this 'love' scene? Then beyond that, if I am watching the film with other people, I examine their reactions and compare it with mine, to "watch ourselves watch" [255] as Linda Williams (2008) would have put it.

On the other hand men have a one in six chance of being sexually abused themselves. Their statistic is deceptively low due to a lack of reporting the situation. There is a terrible belief this could not take place, or that men are not even supposed to cry. This can then lead to mental disorders like depression for a feeling of isolation when one cannot expresses themselves freely. Psychologically, the traditional
