Not long ago somebody asked me my opinion on casual sex and I said that some ppl aren’t built for it on an emotional level but do it anyway and feel used.

I’d like to add that casual sex is just plain dangerous for women. Morally, who cares? I’m not into purity, saving yourself for marriage, or any of that. I firmly believe people should have sex when they feel like having sex in a consensual situation.

However, I would feel like I’m doing a disservice to any young women considering casual sex if I didn’t say that shit is potentially dangerous.

Out of all the men in the world, a lot of them are manipulators if not actual rapists. You have the violent rapists who are the minority but then you have the ones who will coyly try to make you wasted to lower your defenses, you have the ones where you consent to one thing and they take your defenseless during the act to force you into something you did not sign up for. Whether that is removing a condom, letting another man or men into the room, doing a sex act you’re not comfortable with, recording it and later disseminating it. This stuff is sooooo common!

And I’m not even gonna get into the ones who will say what you want to hear to get you to have sex. And then rescind it immediately afterwards.

Casual sex is physically and it is emotionally dangerous for women. Period. Any woman who has lived on a college campus knows this either firsthand or thru the experiences of their friends.

You don’t know what kind of man you’re dealing with if you know little about him, if you haven’t spent time with him. Even if you feel you do know him, you’re still at risk because some men are great actors. But when you don’t know him you really have zero idea what you’re getting yourself into.

Am I saying don’t have casual sex? No. I am saying know the risks. Really understand the risks. Because it is a very dangerous world for women and sexual exploitation is as serious as it is common. Don’t think it won’t happen to you.

25% of the people have a 4th cone and see colors as they are

Given the sudden interest for the color of dresses and vision, here some of the fascinating findings we did recently.

The color nuances we see depend on the number and distribution of cones (=color receptors) in our eye. You can check this rainbow: how many color nuances do you count?

You see less than 20 color nuances: you are a dichromats, like dogs, which means you have 2 types of cones only. You are likely to wear black, beige, and blue. 25% of the population is dichromat.

You see between 20 and 32 color nuances: you are a trichromat, you have 3 types of cones (in the purple/blue, green and red area). You enjoy
different colors as you can appreciate them. 50% of the population is
trichromat.

You see between 33 and 39 colors: you are a
tetrachromat, like bees, and have 4 types of cones (in the purple/blue,
green, red plus yellow area). You are irritated by yellow, so this color
will be nowhere to be found in your wardrobe. 25% of the population is
tetrachromat.

You see more than 39 color nuances: come on, you are
making up things! there are only 39 different colors in the test and
probably only 35 are properly translated by your computer screen anyway
🙂

It is highly probable that people who have an additional 4th
cone do not get tricked by blue/black or white/gold dresses, no matter
the background light 😉

I see 21 colors. I had no idea there are so many more.

I see 35-39 colours, and I hate the colour yellow. That was actually what made me curious enough to stop scrolling and count. Who knew there was a scientific reason behind my colour preferences?

So the idea here is that what I see as annoyingly, garishly bright, most people don’t see as clearly, and that’s why it’s “cheerful?” (I’ve never understood that description of yellow.)

I just whipped this up for a friend who was wondering how to do this and figured I would share it on here just in case anyone might find it useful!

I would totally be willing to make more of these. I used to have a tutoring job where my focus was helping people navigate Photoshop, so if there is anything you’re dying to know/struggling with, just shoot me an ask and I’ll probably be able to help you out.
