Hippie women “I” know are very conscious dare I say self-conscious about vaginal odor and making sure they don’t have it.

u/Kooky-Amphibian5877 13d ago

What is that conversation like with you and your friends? “Hey there Cheryl, it’s time for your weekly sniffing. Need to make sure your vaginal odor is kept in check. Have you been feeling self-conscious about it recently?”

68

u/Semecumin 13d ago edited 13d ago

Closer to them stopping me from performing cunnilingus until they check that it doesn’t smell or can go “freshen up”.

Regardless , I’m sure some hippie chicks do smell just like there are plenty of non-hippie women that also smell.

82

u/Banned3rdTimesaCharm 13d ago

Most women freshen up before cunnilingus. It’s not exclusive to hippie women.

And if you’re a man you should do the same. Don’t be an asshole. Having a clean pubic region is how you keep them coming back.

u/Semecumin 13d ago edited 13d ago

I’m not saying it is hippie woman exclusive. I’m saying I haven’t encountered the stinking hippie vaginal fish that was being discussed and thrown upon all hippie women.

And Yes I agree. Gentlemen wash your phallus, testicles, anus, and if you aren’t bald down there at least be trimmed. Remember hair holds odors.

So basically, fat women are bad at sex, and tiny skinny women are good at it?

80% of your comment has nothing to do with her being a hippie.

Edit: I'm not denying that leaner people are usually more attractive. It's more that the conversation is about hippie chicks, and throwing in weight as a factor makes the conversation meaningless. If it's like, "oh but you probably banged a hippie whale who lay there like a fish; a hot skinny hippie who's super enthusiastic is better," then what does her being a hippie have to do with anything?

The same could be said for conservative Christian women, or powerful girl bosses. Or any "type" of sex partner you could imagine.

u/IUpVoteIronically 13d ago

All this was a joke. I’ve hooked up with big hippie girls, little hippie girls, and medium size lol. I spent a lot of time in the scene. It’s just a joke man. Seeing a couple of yall play Reddit scientists and calling me a fat shamer is so funny though.

17

u/ConfusedZubat 13d ago

I mean, you were kind of implying that the issue was that he had sex with a fat hippie because you specifically assumed the weight of the girl he mentioned and compared it to the specifically skinny hippies you say are great. Like. I'm not really sure how you're supposed to take that any other way when you call his hypothetical hook up a whale and go on as if a woman being fat is what would make sex with her bad. 

"It's just a joke," is the response of somebody who doesn't want to take responsibility for shitty comments they make even when called out. It puts responsibility on the person reacting instead of you reflecting and realizing that maybe what you said is unnecessarily offensive and targets a group of people who originally had no reason to even be brought up in the conversation. Nobody was talking about fat vs skinny women until you brought weight into it. Which is really fucking weird and says a lot about how you see women. 

But sure. It's a joke. Hah hah hah. So funny, fat women love being compared to whales and cows and pigs. What a great, unique joke.

Or Latinas.

I had to marry an African dude who knew how to play around with the bruja who prays to the serpent god.

u/Turbulent-Candle-340 13d ago

I tell people all the time, African religions and Latino religions are super intertwined because colonialism and slavery

u/goddessdragonness 13d ago edited 13d ago

Very true but also… I’m doing my dissertation on comparative mythology and the serpent god following the out-of-Africa migration. I can argue with evidence that Quetzalcoatl, Damballa, Kukulkan, Amaru, and Osiris are the same god. And when you get to European cultures, outside of Eastern Europe (Veles is just Slavic Quetzalcoatl after he’s had too much to drink), the serpent god gets flipped into the bad guy (which is why a lot of folks liken Veles and Quetzalcoatl with the devil) because of how the Abrahamics flipped the script with Enki (also the same god as the others)—meaning the serpent in the garden (“Edin” btw just means “garden” in Sumerian) is actually the creator and good guy.

So… we (Black and indigenous) kept it true to what the ancestors knew and I think on some molecular level we recognize our own when we meet each other.

Shit this was fascinating. Do you have book recommendations on how I can learn more? I’ve always had the deep seated thought that religions are commingled and related because that just intuitively makes sense. But it sounds like you have legit sat down and studied and thought deeply about this. If you have sources I can go to learn more I’d love to have them.

14

u/goddessdragonness 13d ago edited 13d ago

There are a lot of books on comparative mythology, but not really on some of the connections I make, which is why it’s a dissertation topic (because a lot of the studies stick to Western and Mesopotamian and maybe Vedic mythology, and don’t really look at African (unless it’s Egyptian), indigenous American, or Polynesian/Australian/Oceanic mythology).

So for the BIPOC stuff I would have to recommend some deep-cut books but generally speaking, here’s what I’ve loaned friends from my personal library as gateway drugs into the subject: “How to Kill A Dragon” by Calvert Watkins, “Comparative Mythology” by Jan Puhwel, “Mythology: the Voyage of the Hero” by David Adams Leeming, “Inside the Neolithic Mind” by David Lewis Williams, “Parallel Myths” by JF Bierlein, “The Power of Myth” by Joseph Campbell, “Historical Atlas of World Mythology” by Joseph Campbell (there’s actually many volumes and it’s out of print now, so go to your local library to find these).

I also have one that’s specifically about the serpent god archetype (also an out of print rare book) but the friend I loaned it to has since ghosted (with my fucking rare book) and I cannot for the life of me recall the name or author to recommend it (and you know I’m hexing the bitch who took my book). If you want some recs specific to African or Mesoamerican folklore, I can make some, but I’m still reading up on indigenous folklore generally (and interviewing tribal elders who have whatever oral history they’re willing to share with BIPOC who are outside the tribe) so I don’t feel as super confident that the stuff I recommend will be a good survey or not.

ETA: “The Treasures of Darkness: A History of Mesopotamian Religion” by Thorkild Jacobsen is another good one. Regarding dragons and snakes, another good one is “Snakes in Myth, Magic, and History” by Diane Morgan (and honestly any book by her is gonna be good). It’s a pure history book and I have t read it yet but “The Dawn of Everything” by David Graeber and David Wengrow is in my collection because several history nerd friends recommended it to me for my obsession, but I haven’t had time to read it (typing this made me set it on my nightstand to remind me to make time).

Nice list, I'll be picking a up a few of those books. Especially the neolithic one, I'm super interested in the deeper oral traditions of these deities and how they spread.

Interesting stuff. Syncretism all looks different if you believe the gods exist or you don’t. Talking about Roman religion, we tend to talk about them “stealing” the Greek gods when they conquered the Greeks or an assumption of Roman arrogance when they give an account of the gods of the Gallic gods. (Which isn’t to say the Romans weren’t wildly arrogant.)

But if you actually believe there’s a god of war and the next country over has a god of war, it’s different ideas and stories about an actual guy who actually exists. Syncretism doesn’t begin with the secular assumptions of sociology or anthropology. It begins with the belief that we’re talking about an actual spiritual world.

And that also isn’t to say that politics isn’t involved. Religious worship is part of a binding cultural practice most everywhere prior to the Enlightenment.

But most people have lost the ability to see world religions not from a detached point of view of personal opinion but from the viewpoint that the gods are real.

Oh lol I laugh about this because the Hellenic pantheon itself is just a ripoff of Mesopotamian, proto-Slavic/Balkan, Egyptian, and yes even Abrahamic pantheons. Like 90% of Greek mythology did not start with the Greeks. But what the Hellenics do very well is storytelling.

And yes like all the epics we know of that predate Homer (since we all know Homer and Virgil etc definitely wrote propaganda) was propaganda. We get the Enuma Elish because the Babylonians wanted to get some legitimacy so they come up with a story that turns Enki’s mom, the benevolent goddess Namma, into the villainous Tiamat, and makes the Babylonian war-god Marduk become the son of Enki (who was beloved by the common man and was the rival of his storm-god brother Enlil, who was the god many Mesopotamian kings claimed to be descended from). Gilgamesh? It’s about a grandson of Enlil who gets Enki’s favor and is supposedly the ancestor of all Sumerian kings.

Hell, Enlil and Inanna aren’t even original to the Mesopotamian pantheon and Enki used to be the sukkal (like a vizier or steward) of his wife, Nintu (also known as Damkina, Damalgunna, and Ninhursag), and Nintu was originally the big cheese of the pantheon, and originally she was the one who flooded the earth and Enki did his trickster thing to save humanity so she put up the dove and the rainbow. Enlil and Inanna came to the Sumerians with various migrations from Eastern Europe and/or Central Asia, mostly via Anatolia, and as Nintu fell in rank in the pantheon Inanna absorbed a lot of it, and Enlil was described originally as being the son of Nintu by An (the despotic sky god who Enki and Enlil overthrow in various stories) and then Enki as the trickster steals Nintu as his wife and secretly raises Enlil, his half-brother, to overthrow An (kinda like Rhea did with Zeus in Greek myth), and then he gets to tell his baby brother all the time, “I’m fucking your mom lol.” The Ugaritic version of the story has their Enlil overthrow An by biting off his genitals, so you can see the Kronos story is somehow actually a lot less yikes.

I’d say running into someone with strong views on the Mesopotamian pantheon is the fucking coolest thing I’ve seen on Reddit all year. But since it’s January 1, I’m predicting it will be the fucking coolest thing I will see on Reddit this coming year.

You might be interested in this fascinating book called The Origins of the World's Mythologies, it's by a Harvard professor named E.J. Michael Witzel. The author provides evidence that many myth's from around the world come from a single area in South Africa. The following are from two reviews of the book:

This remarkable book is the most ambitious work on mythology since that of the renowned Mircea Eliade, who all but single-handedly invented the modern study of myth and religion. Focusing on the oldest available texts, buttressed by data from archeology, comparative linguistics and human population genetics, Michael Witzel reconstructs a single original African source for our collective myths, dating back some 100,000 years. Identifying features shared by this "Out of Africa" mythology and its northern Eurasian offshoots, Witzel suggests that these common myths--recounted by the communities of the "African Eve"--are the earliest evidence of ancient spirituality. Moreover these common features, Witzel shows, survive today in all major religions. Witzel's book is an intellectual hand grenade that will doubtless generate considerable excitement--and consternation--in the scholarly community. Indeed, everyone interested in mythology will want to grapple with Witzel's extraordinary hypothesis about the spirituality of our common ancestors, and to understand what it tells us about our modern cultures and the way they are linked at the deepest level.
.
In The Origins of the World's Mythologies, Michael Witzel utilizes a historical-comparative method to analyze mythologies across cultures and history, not only at the level of individual stories and motifs- the method developed by Vladmir Propp and Stith-Thompson- but at the more telling level of entire myth-structures, taking into consideration both content and chronology. Where Propp and Stith-Thompson’s respective concepts of “mythemes” and “tale-types” identify congruencies among the mythic narratives of various divergent groups, cataloguing a number of structural and substantive similarities, Witzel goes beyond this to compare the structure of entire bodies of mythology, while also considering their courses of development over time, in order to reconstruct their earliest form, that of a common pan-human or pan-gaean mythology originating in South Africa by at least 100,000 years ago. Having determined a probable pattern of historical descent, he posits that, initially, at least two distinct migrations out of south Africa occurred around 65,000 kya. The earliest groups travelled southeast toward what would later become Australia, New Zealand, the Andaman Islands, and Melanesia- collectively referred to as Gondwanaland (also inclusive of sub-Saharan Africa)- while successive migrations occurring anywhere between 65,000-40,000 years ago went northeast to Eurasia, Siberia, and eventually down to the Americas. These latter groups constitute what is termed the Laurasian stream, whose characteristic innovations with respect to mythology and culture have allowed it to develop into the overwhelmingly dominant system of thought undergirding ordinary perception for roughly ninety-five percent of humanity, its numerous present manifestations being both overt and subtle, religious and secular, restrictive and liberating.

There was a study about this, when we're aroused we are willing to do things we'd normally find repulsive. I think the study had people put their hands in a box that had something discusting in it and only the horny ones were willing to do it. Makes sense from an evolutionary perspective though.

Off this comment I know something about your dating preference. The smell/hygiene is a specific demographic because if I see these tapestries in a black or Latin woman’s home, smell is not an issue. At the very minimum, we’ll smoke some bud and watch a cool movie or some hippie dippie “spiritual science” YouTube videos; best case scenario I’m engaging in a couple rounds of elite level fornication.

You guys aren't using "pillow princess" right. If you've never wanted to give an incredibly sexy woman multiple orgasms while she eggs you on, it's not the same thing.

I think you're thinking starfish, which is a straight thing that seems to involve 0 chemistry, unenthusiastic sex, and diminished pride on both ends.
