Chocolate
Re: Chocolate
"Chocolate obsession" is a cultural bonding game between women - a guilty indulgence enjoyed while the menfolk aren't around to connect their consumption with their figures.
For men, the equivalent object of adoration is beer. "Beer obsession" is a male bonding ritual, when men enjoying a taboo often denied by their better half for equivalent reasons.

Could be. Sounds like fun, although I don't really like to share my chocolate.Greta wrote:"Chocolate obsession" is a cultural bonding game between women - a guilty indulgence enjoyed while the menfolk aren't around to connect their consumption with their figures.

Re: Chocolate
Yes but I also pointed out that the comparison was to do with the degree of pleasure, not the nature of it. On the positive side, at least the fact that sex has established a more prominent position for itself in this thread than it was meant to has given you the opportunity to get across your preference for it over chocolate.vegetariantaxidermy wrote: You were the one who brought up the sex/chocolate association.

But men don't usually moan with pleasure while they are drinking it. The moaning usually comes the morning after and has very little to do with pleasure.Greta wrote: For men, the equivalent object of adoration is beer. "Beer obsession"

Re: Chocolate
Reading what I haven't written now. I don't know who started comparing the two in the first place. There are plenty of other foods that people enjoy. Probably some yank 'psychotherapist'.Harbal wrote:Yes but I also pointed out that the comparison was to do with the degree of pleasure, not the nature of it.

Re: Chocolate
The male equivalent would be the man who drinks alone, who doesn't want to share his case with his mates. Such a man would normally be deemed an alcoholic ...vegetariantaxidermy wrote:Could be. Sounds like fun, although I don't really like to share my chocolate.

Re: Chocolate
They might. If it was a particularly good beer. Although 'moan with pleasure' seems a bit extreme. There's a 'good food' sound that some people make, children especially.Harbal wrote:But men don't usually moan with pleasure while they are drinking it.

Re: Chocolate
Or maybe he just doesn't like to share his beer. Not eveyone is into 'social bonding'. Chocolate, alcohol, sex. All the same thing really.Greta wrote:The male equivalent would be the man who drinks alone, who doesn't want to share his case with his mates.

Lacewing, I'm an Absurdist. So exactly why are you ever surprised if I treat issues accordingly? What would you have me do?
Re: Chocolate
I suppose... in some odd and twisted way you're perfect doing whatever it is you're doing. So I shall not try to change you... I shall only poke at you when it's fun to do so.Dalek Prime wrote:What would you have me do?
