by Maarten Goldstein, Nov 25, 2002 7:39am PSTI must say the extras on the Spider-Man DVD are pretty dissapointing. I knew there weren't too many on there but there's a lack of quality as well. Guess we'll have some mega turbo edition deluxe next year. And talking about those mega turbo edition deluxe editions, I'm seriously thinking about getting the new LOTR DVD even though I told myself before that I wouldn't. I am not really interested in the even longer cut of the movie, but the extras sound pretty damn good and people have been pretty enthusiastic about them. It looks like we didn't have a Sunday Night Shackreviews update yesterday. Metroid Prime and Splinter Cell were already added, but if there's no update tonight either I'll add some of the recent games myself. And here's an obligatory David Hasselhoff link with that one great video that shouldn't be forgotten. Movie: Everything I learned about myself I want to forget

I mentioned some of this in a thread late last night but its some info I have gathered from Dr. Drew of loveline fame.
1: When your body is used to producing a lot of semen, say enough for 2-3 ejaculations a day, even if you stop whackin it, your body will keep producing large ammounts. Yes, this means expect some really nasty sheets. Hopefully you stepped down but if not then...
2: Most wet dreams are caused by the friction on the wang from the underwear and or sheets. Its recomended that you wear something that does not have an open fly so you dont hang out and have the soft smooth sheets rubbing allong. Also, silk underwear is notorious for causing midnight ejaculations. This of course means...
3: If one were to sleep in silk underwear and silk sheets then release could be acheived, but I do beleive this goes against the spirit of the rules. However...
4: Last night some health questions were brought up. Well, I did some research and this is what I found out. Some STDs can infect the prostate and a build up of semen can be bad for the prostate. If you know you have an STD and are in the Fap Pact, talk to your doctor. Otherwise, there are no real physical health implications for not fapping. Basically, your body will adjust your sperm count. For future father shackers, a stop of 2-3mo will cause your sperm count to drop significantly for at least awhile. NOT ENOUGH THAT YOU DONT HAVE TO USE PROTECTION NEXT TIME]o but if you are really wanting to get the lady a baby, this might not be the best way to do it. However, on the mental health side...
5: I read an interesting study about the effects of sex/masturbation and your mental health. Aparently there was a study that tracked groups in Canada, US, Mexico, UK and France. For the US, a sudden stop in all sexual activity created quite a bit more stress. Back to the physical side for a second, heart rates and blood pressure did change so if these things concern you, TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR. However, it seemed in the end no real long term mental health problems prosisted. Another side to the mental health issue is...
6: There are some that beleive that once you free yourself of sexual desire your ability to think clearly will be enhanced. I could not find any studys relating abstinance to IQ but I did see slashdot (sorry, had to make ONE joke). Seriously, I would be interested in seeing if the people that go more then 4wks if they note any changes in their mental capabilities...
7: Generally, if you are a Fap Pacter, I encourage you to keep a journal. Just open a word doc and go to town. Make notes of any mental or physical changes. Note if you have wet dreams and if they are particularly messy. Gross as it sounds, its interesting to know. If you can have your pulse taken, that would great statistical data.
Finally...
8: Im not HORRIBLY familiar with Tantric sex, well other then American Pie 2, but this might be a great time for some shackers to read up on it. My basic understanding is that the idea is to prolong orgasm for a long time. I think this may break the pact due to a requirement of some stimulation so if this is the case then oh well. I think the Fap Pacters need more info on Tantric and I will see what I can dig up if anyone is interested.

Some people have forgotten about Tenebrae, a mod for Quake I that added Doom 3 graphics features and generally made it look a lot prettier. Well, the website was inactive for a while, but around last Thursday it came back to life with two news posts.
One was about the screenshots page being updated with screens of the next version, which should be released "soon" (hey, it's better than "two weeks"). Some of the screenies are neat, but IMHO none of them are as impressive as the ones in the other news post
Screenshots page: http://tenebrae.sourceforge.net/index.php?page=screenshots.txt
The second news update is about screenies of the new decals and particles that are being made for the next version. Some of these shots are simply amazing. My favorite one is at the very top.

My favorite one (amazing!): http://www.3dluvr.com/willi/tenebrae/tenebrae_partdecal_001.jpg
Keep your eyes peeled for the next version, which should, as usual, be a bit faster than the last one and have even more graphics options.

Wow. I have been reading for a while on this whole tantra thing. Well, aparently its a whole big deal. You dont do Tantric sex like you do a kama sutra possistion or anything. Technically its a whole buddah buddah way of clearing and clensing the mind. From google, most of what I found were buy my books and not so much free information. I guess Buddah is a capatilist dog?
Anyhoo, the google group is http://directory.google.com/Top/Society/Sexuality/Tantra/ and it has lots of great links INCLUDING http://www.mumyouan.com/i/ae-i.html
