Meanwhile, we have a New Pope:
POPE LEO XIV: FIRST AMERICAN, AUGUSTINIAN POPE
BREAKING: Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, 69, prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops, has been elected the 267th pope, making history as the first pontiff from the United States and the Order of St. Augustine.
Born on Sept. 14, 1955 in Chicago, Illinois, Prevost served as bishop of Chiclayo, Peru from 2015 to 2023. He was elevated to the cardinalate by his predecessor, Pope Francis, in 2023.
As prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops, he oversaw the establishment of particular Churches and the appointment of bishops worldwide.
Prevost led the Augustinian religious order from 2001 to 2013 and holds a doctorate in canon law from the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas in Rome.
His election as the 267th supreme pontiff ends a weeks-long sede vacante following the death of Pope Francis on April 21.
Lastly, Trump Reaction to Pope Leo XIV:
MAGA world melts down as the Catholic Church elects American Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost to become Pope Leo XIV — a man who has slammed Donald Trump and J.D. Vance in the past.
Republicans wanted a far-right pope and instead they got a continuation of Pope Francis' legacy...
In February, then-Cardinal Prevost shared a piece on X entitled "JD Vance is wrong: Jesus doesn't ask us to rank our love for others" in which the author pushed back on Vance's claim that Christians should love their family first, then their neighbor, then their community, then their fellow citizens, then the rest of the world.
I was reading the other day, that some people can have orgasm via ear stimulation. I was not aware of of it so I asked ChatGPT. I have been enjoying ChatGPT recently and testing what kind of information it will release publicly. As an example of this, I am posting the following:
What Do you know about Erogenous zones of the human body
The science behind erogenous zones is not exact, and the most arousing zones vary among individuals. However, researchTrusted Source notes that erogenous zones are similar for many people, with the ears being a popular zone.
Stimulating erogenous zones can activate certain regions of the brain that relate to arousal and pleasure. An older study from 2014Trusted Source notes that stimulation of the ear can activate a region of the brain that may relate to the genitals. However, whether a person can reach orgasm through ear stimulation alone may depend on their body and a range of specific factors.
The human ear contains 25,000 nerve endings, which translate sound waves from vibrations into electrical impulses. These impulses travel through the auditory nerve and into the brain, creating the human experience of sound.
Inside the inner ear, different canals sense the body’s movement, controlling the perception of space and mobility. The inner ear helps people achieve balance as they move through the world.
The large number of nerve endings makes the ear a particularly sensitive part of the body. In addition, the ear’s function in spatial awareness can make ear stimulation even more powerful during intercourse.
The sensitivity and power of the ears may explain why they can feel erogenous for many people. Whispering into the ear during intercourse can stimulate nerve endings and enhance feelings of intimacy. Physically stimulating the ears by massaging, licking, or gently biting them may also enhance feelings of arousal and closeness.
Stimulating the ears during sex or masturbation may increase the chance of experiencing an orgasm. Individuals interested in experiencing an ear orgasm may enjoy trying these techniques with a partner. It may also be helpful to explore ear sensations independently during masturbation. Exploring different types of stimulation independently can help identify what might work best with a trusted partner.
Massaging the ears
A manual ear massage can help set the mood. A person can try massaging the ears by starting at the earlobes and then exploring different areas. During intercourse, a partner may also enjoy an oral ear massage with the lips or tongue. Gentle kisses, suction, and nibbles can help stimulate the ear region.
Blowing gently
The sensation of blowing into the ear can also lead to sexual arousal. Gently blowing into a partner’s ear while stimulating other regions of the body may enhance an orgasmic experience.
Exploring aural pleasure
Some individuals find aural stimulation a reliable path to orgasm. Whispering words into a partner’s ear can increase feelings of closeness and intimacy. This may aid a partner in achieving an orgasm during ear stimulation. Gentle music or nature sounds may also elevate levels of comfort and feelings of closeness. Experiencing an orgasm during ear stimulation can be an exciting addition to a safe and respectful intimate relationship.
People can receive sexual pleasure in many ways beyond just genital stimulation. Erogenous zones, such as the ears, can play a role in sexual arousal, and for some individuals, stimulating the ears can result in an orgasm.
Stimulating the ears may lead to or enhance the experience of orgasm. Experimenting with different techniques, either independently or with a partner, can help an individual identify what works best for them. With communication, an open mind, and a little trial and error, a person may be able to experience an ear orgasm.
