Book Description
Welcome to a world where passionate love intertwines modern sexual practices with the wisdom of the ancient east, and desire is ignited by the timeless teachings of the Kama Sutra, Kabazza, Kunyaza, Imsak, The Perfumed Garden, Ananga Ranga, The Pillow Book, Tantra and Tao. This new artful practice “Alveno Plaisir: Arrival of the Ultimate Pleasure," invites you on an intimate journey of sensual exploration, where every caress, every glance, and every touch resonates with profound connection and ecstasy. In the embrace of this modern practice, you and your partner will unlock the secrets to a fulfilling and rapturous intimate life, where pleasure becomes an art and love becomes a moment of forever. The majority of men and women don't know and understand what the female body is capable of. I don't blame them since even experts in the field don't know and understand it. This art and guide will change your world, whether you are a male or female, read and discover ultimate pleasure with this new art, and I promise, you won’t regret it. I've striven for thoroughness without unnecessary embellishments, maintaining a tone reminiscent of the ancient eastern sexual manuals that serve as the foundation for this content. Any perceived stiffness or antiquated feel in my expression is deliberate, aligning with the traditional style inherent in these materials, however, at times a sense of my modern approach. It is a blending of the new and old, thus creating something more impactful for these times. As you turn the pages, the secrets of the ages will unfurl before you, revealing the ancient practices to harmonize an intimate relationship – emotionally, mentally, and physically. Sex in the ancient East was seen as a sacred ritual between husband and wife, for long-term relationships and to satisfy women. Selfish desire is against their practices. Men prioritize female pleasure and women worship the penis. This is the foundation of what Alveno Plaisir teaches, and it is not merely a new practice to physical pleasure; it is a spiritual dance of love, respect, and profound connection. It celebrates the intertwining of bodies and souls, the exploration of touch, and desire. Here, love (heart) becomes a sacred ritual, and pleasure becomes an awakening of the senses (mind) through stimulation of the nerves on the erogenous zones (body). This book is a journey into the depths of intimate discovery, where we explore the unique sensations and experiences that define distinct forms of orgasm. I aim to provide knowledge and insight, empowering individuals to embrace and celebrate the diversity of female pleasure. Female orgasm, in all its manifestations, is a topic of profound importance because it touches upon the core of human relationships, self-discovery, and well-being. Understanding and embracing the full spectrum of female pleasure not only enhances physical intimacy but also fosters emotional connections and self-confidence. It can lead to healthier, more fulfilling relationships and greater personal satisfaction. However, the topic of female ejaculate, squirting, and gushing orgasms has historically been shrouded in mystery and misconceptions. Many cultures and societies have held various beliefs and attitudes towards female sexuality, leading to a wide array of cultural perceptions and taboos. The history of these topics is a fascinating journey that reveals the influence of cultural, societal, and religious norms on sexual expression. Throughout history, there have been societies that revered female pleasure and celebrated the mysteries of the female orgasm. In contrast, others have stifled discussions, imposed shame, and even denied the existence of certain forms of female orgasm. By examining these historical perspectives and cultural perceptions, we gain insights into the evolution of our understanding of female pleasure. In this modern age, where discussions around sexuality have become more open and inclusive, it is essential to break the shackles of old stigmas and misconceptions. This book is dedicated to contributing to this progressive dialogue, dispelling myths, and celebrating the unique experiences that women can have in their sexual lives. We get one chance to experience this life so why not make it the best emotional, mental, and sexual experience we can ever have? Think about your best encounter and imagine, what if there was better? That’s what I offer you. We live in an era of heightened awareness and growing acceptance of the diversity of human sexuality. It is a time where individuals are increasingly seeking information, self-discovery, and open conversations about their sexual experiences. This book is positioned to serve as a resource for individuals, couples, and anyone interested in understanding and achieving a deeper level of intimacy and pleasure. In the following chapters, we will embark on a comprehensive exploration of all thirteen forms of orgasm including the ejaculation orgasms of female ejaculate, squirting, and gushing orgasms. We will delve into the anatomy and physiology behind these experiences, the emotional and psychological aspects that influence them, and the ancient/modern techniques and practices that can lead to heightened pleasure. We will discuss the importance of the mind-body connection, the role of blood flow, pelvic muscles, and the profound sensations associated with different forms of female orgasm. The variety of combined orgasms and the endless possibilities of unique sexual experiences. Our journey through these pages will be one of knowledge, empowerment, and celebration. I invite you to join me on this voyage of exploration and enlightenment, as we uncover the remarkable facets of female pleasure that have long remained in the shadows. It's time to bring these topics into the light and celebrate the beauty and diversity of female orgasms. The Alveno Plaisir practice intertwines emotional, mental, and physical intimacy which will lead to the best sex of both your lives. Are you Ready to elevate your sexual skills and awaken the depths of her desire? Are you ready for her to anticipate and pulsate juices thinking about your intimate moments? Let us continue our exploration, where each page holds the promise of unlocking new realms of pleasure and intimacy. In the chapters that follow, we will explore the intricacies of the O-spot, gushing orgasms, G-spot, squirting, the role of the mind-body connection, the impact of strong pelvic muscles, the female prostate gland, and much more. Together, we will celebrate the amazing capacity of the female body for pleasure and the full range of orgasms it can achieve. While pleasure and connection can be an enchanting symphony, every journey encounter challenges. As you navigate the obstacles of communication, changes in desire, and performance anxieties, “Alveno Plaisir: Arrival of the Ultimate Pleasure," offers guidance in building resilience and deeper connection.

It fosters the sensitivity needed to consistently and romantically entice and satisfy a woman emotionally, intellectually and physically. This journey encompasses love, affection, pleasure, and delight, fulfilling the yearnings of every woman—a fulfillment often elusive to many women.

It's a journey that promises a deeper connection with your own body if a female reading this guide or her body - if a male reading this and a greater appreciation for the boundless potential of intimacy. Are you ready to be the guy she brags about to her friends and family? Are you ready to make her more wet than she’s ever been? How about to have the best sex of both your lives?

Confessions: Commentary on Books 1-7
Author: Agustín (Santo, Obispo de Hipona)
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 512
Book Description
The Confessions of Augustine have long both demanded and eluded the sustained and serious attention to detail that a scholarly commentary can provide. This new work in three volumes is a major new reference in Augustine scholarship. A revised Latin text of the Confessions in Volume I forms the basis for a detailed line-by-line commentary (Volumes II and III) designed to elucidate the many layers of meaning in the work. Extensive quotation and abundant citation of Augustine's own writings, of the scriptural texts that were never far from his mind, and of the works of his intellectual forebears (chief among them Cicero, Plotinus, and Ambrose) are meant to provide one essential context for reading the Confessions. Placing the emphasis primarily on exegesis, O'Donnell opens up new lines of interpretation, and gives a wealth of fresh detail to some more familiar themes. The place of the Confessions in Augustine's own life and in the history of Christian literature is also discussed and illuminated.

Perfect Me

Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 360
Book Description
How looking beautiful has become a moral imperative in today's worldThe demand to be beautiful is increasingly important in today's visual and virtual culture. Rightly or wrongly, being perfect has become an ethical ideal to live by, and according to which we judge ourselves good or bad, a success or a failure. Perfect Me explores the changing nature of the beauty ideal, showing how it is more dominant, more demanding, and more global than ever before.Heather Widdows argues that our perception of the self is changing. More and more, we locate the self in the body--not just our actual, flawed bodies but our transforming and imagined ones. As this happens, we further embrace the beauty ideal. Nobody is firm enough, thin enough, smooth enough, or buff enough-not without significant effort and cosmetic intervention. And as more demanding practices become the norm, more will be required of us, and the beauty ideal will be harder and harder to resist.If you have ever felt the urge to "make the best of yourself" or worried that you were "letting yourself go," this book explains why. Perfect Me examines how the beauty ideal has come to define how we see ourselves and others and how we structure our daily practices-and how it enthralls us with promises of the good life that are dubious at best. Perfect Me demonstrates that we must first recognize the ethical nature of the beauty ideal if we are ever to address its harms.

Plato and the Power of Images

Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004345019
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 251
Book Description
Plato is well known both for the harsh condemnations of images and image-making poets that appear in his dialogues and for the vivid and intense imagery that he himself uses in his matchless prose. Through their resemblance to true reality, images have the power to move their viewers to action and to change themselves, but because of their distance from true reality, that power always remains problematic. Two recurrent problems addressed here are how an image resembles what it represents and how to avoid mistaking that image for what it represents. Plato and the Power of Images comprises twelve chapters on the ways Plato has used images, and the ways we could, or should, understand their status as images.

Empathy, Sociality, and Personhood
Author: Elisa Magrì
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319710966
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 215
Book Description
This book explores the phenomenological investigations of Edith Stein by critically contextualising her role within the phenomenological movement and assessing her accounts of empathy, sociality, and personhood. Despite the growing interest that surrounds contemporary research on empathy, Edith Stein’s phenomenological investigations have been largely neglected due to a historical tradition that tends to consider her either as Husserl’s assistant or as a martyr. However, in her phenomenological research, Edith Stein pursued critically the relation between phenomenology and psychology, focusing on the relation between affectivity, subjectivity, and personhood. Alongside phenomenologists like Max Scheler, Kurt Stavenhagen, and Hedwig Conrad-Martius, Stein developed Husserl’s method, incorporating several original modifications that are relevant for philosophy, phenomenology, and ethics. Drawing on recent debates on empathy, emotions, and collective intentionality as well as on original inquiries and interpretations, the collection articulates and develops new perspectives regarding Edith Stein’s phenomenology. The volume includes an appraisal of Stein’s philosophical relation to Edmund Husserl and Max Scheler, and develops further the concepts of empathy, sociality, and personhood. These essays demonstrate the significance of Stein’s phenomenology for contemporary research on intentionality, emotions, and ethics. Gathering together contributions from young researchers and leading scholars in the fields of phenomenology, social ontology, and history of philosophy, this collection provides original views and critical discussions that will be of interest also for social philosophers and moral psychologists.

Plotinus and the Moving Image
Author: Thorsten Botz-Bornstein
Publisher: Brill / Rodopi
ISBN: 9789004357037
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 250
Book Description
Plotinus and the Moving Image offers the first philosophical discussion on Plotinus' philosophy and film. It discusses Plotinian concepts like "the One" in a cinematic context and relates Plotinus' theory of time as a transitory intelligible movement of the soul to Bergson's and Deleuze's time-image. Film is a unique medium for a rapprochement of our modern consciousness with the thought of Plotinus. The Neoplatonic vestige is particularly worth exploring in the context of the newly emerging "Cinema of Contemplation."

Book Description
Plotinus and the Moving Image offers the first philosophical discussion on Plotinus' philosophy and film. It discusses Plotinian concepts like "the One" in a cinematic context and relates Plotinus' theory of time as a transitory intelligible movement of the soul to Bergson's and Deleuze's time-image. Film is a unique medium for a rapprochement of our modern consciousness with the thought of Plotinus. The Neoplatonic vestige is particularly worth exploring in the context of the newly emerging "Cinema of Contemplation." Plotinus' search for the "intelligible" that can be grasped neither by sense perception nor by merely logical abstractions leads to a fluent way of seeing. Parallels that had so far never been discussed are made plausible. This book is a milestone in the philosophy of film.

Brill’s Companion to the Reception of Plato in Antiquity
Author: Harold Tarrant
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004355383
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 679
Book Description
Brill’s Companion to the Reception of Plato in Antiquity offers a comprehensive account of the ways in which ancient readers responded to Plato, as philosopher, as author, and more generally as a central figure in the intellectual heritage of Classical Greece, from his death in the fourth century BCE until the Platonist and Aristotelian commentators in the sixth century CE. The volume is divided into three sections: ‘Early Developments in Reception’ (four chapters); ‘Early Imperial Reception’ (nine chapters); and ‘Early Christianity and Late Antique Platonism’ (eighteen chapters). Sectional introductions cover matters of importance that could not easily be covered in dedicated chapters. The book demonstrates the great variety of approaches to and interpretations of Plato among even his most dedicated ancient readers, offering some salutary lessons for his modern readers too.

Maximus the Confessor as a European Philosopher
Author: Sotiris Mitralexis
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1498295584
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 367
Book Description
The study of Maximus the Confessor’s thought has flourished in recent years: international conferences, publications and articles, new critical editions and translations mark a torrent of interest in the work and influence of perhaps the most sublime of the Byzantine Church Fathers. It has been repeatedly stated that the Confessor’s thought is of eminently philosophical interest. However, no dedicated collective scholarly engagement with Maximus the Confessor as a philosopher has taken place—and this volume attempts to start such a discussion. Apart from Maximus’ relevance and importance for philosophy in general, a second question arises: should towering figures of Byzantine philosophy like Maximus the Confessor be included in an overview of the European history of philosophy, or rather excluded from it—as is the case today with most histories of European philosophy? Maximus’ philosophy challenges our understanding of what European philosophy is. In this volume, we begin to address these issues and examine numerous aspects of Maximus’ philosophy—thereby also stressing the interdisciplinary character of Maximian studies. Contributors include: Fr. Maximos Constas, Justin Shaun Coyle, Vladimir Cvetković, Natalie Depraz, Demetrios Harper, Michael Harrington, Georgi Kapriev, Karolina Kochańczyk-Bonińska, Nicholas Loudovikos, Andrew Louth, John Panteleimon Manoussakis, Michail Mantzanas, Smilen Markov, Sotiris Mitralexis, Marcin Podbielski, Dionysios Skliris, Georgios Steiris, Stoyan Tanev, Torstein Theodor Tollefsen, Jordan Daniel Wood
