By "perverse kissing" you mean oral sex?
Yes. I imply no moral judgement - I simply mean an act diverted away from normal intercourse. Well, then, the anal stage. A hangover from this can result in obstinacy, thrift, orderliness, prudishness. Nature made it difficult for us - but also intensely interesting - by making the organs of excretion virtually the same as the organs of sexual pleasure.

kaninabu is not a Japanese word or phrase...it is the very essence of anger and diatribe from colloquial Singlish to all who lives in Singapore; born and bred or immigrants (refugees as Ker refers them).

This low-point occurs 2 to 4 hours before their usual wake-up time. Understanding this can help enormously when coping with things such as jet-lag or a dramatic change in daily routine.

In humans, the changeover point from the delaying shift to the early morning advancing shift takes place around the time when the core body temperature is at its lowest daily point - this happens to me during this monsoon season. I've been waking up early these days, woken up by trips to the looooooo!

The net effect is a small daily adjustment of the internal clock to cope with the difference between its subjective daily cycle and the 24hour solar day.

How does the required resetting occur? The circadian clock's sensitivity to light comes in. Scientists have found that the internal human clock is designed so that the exposure to early morning light produces a shift forward in the circadian cycle, while light exposure around dusk produces a slight backward shift.

Conversely, if the person's internal clock were to run naturally fast, to a 23hour subjective day, then it would have to be reset backward by 1hour each day.

Human has a circadian clock at exactly 24 hours. If a human circadian clock runs naturally slow at 25 hours, the person would naturally want to sleep and wake up each "day" one hour later than the previous day. Thus in order to catch up and remain in step with the 24hour world, this person's slow internal clock must be shifted forward by 1 hour each day.

Circadian clocks has evolved two features: sensitivity to light and lack of dependence on temperature.

Bees could locate a food source by using the "azimuthal" position of the sun - the point on the horizon directly below the sun - as a compass. It is remarkable because the azimuth changes by 15 degrees per hour as the sun steadily tracks across the sky. To use the azimuth as a directional cue, the bee must know the time of day, make continuous adjustments in its direction of movement relative to the azimuth.

The day and its hours - the division of each 24th of the day into 60 minutes is a relic of a completely different system: the Mesopotamian base-sixty arithmetic.

The week was invented by the Romans with each day named for the god who governed its first hour, and they passed the system on, eventually almost to everyone.

The Gregorian calendar, the present day system of timekeeping, is the best attempt to date (and still a necessary imperfect one) to reconcile conflicting time signals from the changing seasons, the sun, the moon, and the stars. It worked so well that it seem like some absolute insight into the way God organized time in the beginning.

The power of appearance leads us astray and throws us into confusion...whereas the art of measurement...would have caused the soul to live in peace and quiet abiding in the truth - Plato.

It is a piece of Ancient Greek wisdom that counting and measuring things is a much surer path to knowledge and understanding than any other...knowledge empowers us and it can only lead to wisdom.

"...Man, even when he is selfish or wicked, lives by principles; woman only obeys her feelings. Never forget this, and never be sure of the woman you love."

"...In spite of all the advances of civilization, woman has remained as she was the day Nature's hands shaped her. She is like a wild animal, faithful or faithless, kindly or cruel, depending on the impulse that rules her. A profound and serious culture is needed to produce moral character..."

"...The best of women can momentarily flounder in the mud, just as the worst can unexpectedly rise to great heights of generosity, to the confusion of those who vilify her. Every woman, good or bad, is capable at any moment of the most diabolical thoughts, actions or emotions, as well as the most divine; the purest as well as the most sordid..."

"...never be sure of the woman you love, for there are more snares in her nature than you can ever imagine. Women are neither as good as their admirers maintain nor as bad as their detractors would have them be; their character is merely a lack of character..."

"...woman can be neither as purely sensual nor spiritually free as men; their love is always a mixture of the sensual and the intellectual. Women's heart desires to enchain man permanently while she herself is subject to change, with the result that discord, lying and deceitfulness invade her life, usually against her will, and her whole character is affected."

Sadism negates the mother and inflates the father, masochism disavows the mother and abolished the father.

What appeared to be common "sign" linking the two perversions together turned out on investigation to be in the nature of a mere syndrome which could be further broken down into irreducibly specific symptoms of the one or the other perversion.

Sadomasochism is a misbegotten name, a semiological howler.

Deleuze on the other hand suggests that we would be falling into the trap of humor if we take literally the picture it gives of the superego, for this picture is intended to laugh away and disavow the superego, becoming the preconditions for obtaining the forbidden pleasure. Humor, to Deleuze, is the triumphant ego, the art of deflecting and disavowing the superego, with all its masochistic consequences.

Hence along with the complexity of the superego. To me, it depends on what kind of humor. Certain humor does describe what Freud suggests, I.e. laughing and mocking at others expense to make oneself look superior. Some what like someone I know - Sir Rom.

Deleuze opposes Freud that humor is the expression of a strong superego. Humor, to Deleuze, is an ego-gain not "secondary," as Freud suggests but primary or essential. For Freud, humor inevitably brings about a secondary gain for the ego, and spoke of the defiance and invulnerability of the ego and the triumph of narcissism.

To Deleuze, it is the kind of etiology which leads to the assumption of a sadomasochistic entity. The line of progression is far from direct: it is broken at many points and maps out the various symptoms very imperfectly.

Psychoanalytic interpretation of the deviation of masochism from sadism: an original aggressive instinct followed by the turning around of aggression upon the subject through the agency of the superego. The transformation into masochism would take place by a transfer of the aggressive component to the superego, which would then cause sadism to be turned around upon the ego. Hence sadistic superego and masochistic ego

In sadism no less than in masochism, there is no direct relation to pain: pain should be regarded as an effect only.

The heroes of Sade are inspired with an extraordinary passion against tyranny; they speak as no tyrant ever spoke or could ever speak; theirs is the counter language of tyranny.
