The miscommunication hypothesis is the assumption that many incidents of acquaintance rape and coercive sex follow from miscommunication between men and women. This hypothesis is entrenched in popular, academic, and judicial understandings of sexual relationships. Recently some evidence has suggested that there is little miscommunication between sexual partners and that the hypothesis does not explain acquaintance rape or other forms of sexual violence. The present study used qualitative methodology in which men and women were asked to imagine themselves in a particular heterosexual dating situation and write what they think happened between the beginning (when sex was refused by one partner) and the end (when sex happened). Thematic analysis of the data found no evidence for miscommunication between partners under conditions of differences in desire. Instead, ambivalence about sexual activity was commonly described by women and men and was most often resolved to both parties' satisfaction. Coercion by men was present in a minority of narratives under conditions of clear understanding of women's refusals. The study thus provides a rich, experience-based representation of heterosexual sexual activity, with considerable potential for the development of effective education campaigns.
Some were tired from working a job late in the evening to help support their families. Some showed stress from problems at home. Others were unhealthy from lack of nutrition and preventive health care.
These teenagers were my introduction to Fort Worth, after I moved in 2011 from upstate New York to teach high school here. And my desire to help them and their families live healthier, fuller lives guided me to study medicine at UNT Health Science Center.
We organized the health fair at the Eugene McCray Community Center in southeast Fort Worth. We recruited partners like John Peter Smith Hospital and the UT Southwestern Moncrief Cancer Institute. Students hit the streets passing out fliers and encouraging families to attend.
More than 50 Health Science Center students volunteered to spend their weekend helping connect people to free health and eye screenings, immunizations, glucose tests, information on free cancer screenings and cancer support services and insurance sign-ups. I was proud of my university.
The hindrances cover a range of issues that anyone attempting meditation might encounter, and if the Buddha/ Buddhists have developed effective measures to combat them then they should be shared for the benefit of all. If someone does not find them useful then at least they have had the option to decide for themselves without subscribing to Buddhist doctrine.
I have found a few articles that give a flavour of some of the debates surrounding this issue. I think that some concerns are valid, but many are merely dressed up fears of a watering down of the Dhamma.
I feel that the use of any part of any faith, which has been shown to be beneficial is good thing and should be encouraged. But I also see why there is a desire to hold on to cultural and historical teaching and am largely sympathetic, providing that it is not at the expense of everybody else who might not want to be Buddhist, Christian or any other faith/ creed. (see my one and only Blog on the SBUK website ( -buddha-is-losing-his-religion-buddhism-is-losing-its-founder-a-secular-approach-might-just-help-keep-them-together/).
If i get his right, Robert seems to advocate more concentrated attention on the lower body to divert attention away from the head, where (perhaps) thoughts and maybe sexual fantasies seem to be located. The lower body suggests everywhere south of the head.

Most drives are extensions of autonomous internal processes. For example, when our body temperature drops, without any conscious planning our bodies work to keep us warm: we shiver, get goose bumps, and blood flow to our extremities is reduced.
In the same way that it regulates our internal temperature, our brain is constantly, and autonomously, engaged in sense-making and simplification, distilling sensory inputs to make it possible for us to make sense of our environment and our lives.
In some situations, however, internal processes are not up to the task; our conscious mind needs to be recruited to help us make sense of the world around us. We feel conscious drives, such as curiosity that can motivate us to seek out more information (whether by scrutinizing an old photo, searching the Internet or conducting a scientific experiment). Our drive for sense-making, like our drives to avoid cold and hunger, can intrude on, and direct, our conscious attention.
The model has novel implications both for when people choose to obtain or avoid information, and it sheds light on phenomena, such as political polarization and emotionally charged beliefs relating to topics like the cause of autism and the reality of climate change.
I'm a 25 yr. old who graduated from the Ivy League a few years ago with great ambitions/hopes/dreams, and who lays awake this rain-soaked morning because I'm haunted by a recent post of yours and felt compelled to write. I'm referencing "I Lost my Impulse for Self-Preservation," which spoke so strongly to me, although I of course cannot know the depth of your reader's words.
So too his illustration of Wall Street success and outward identity as veneer, disguising a deeper-placed sentiment of self-destruction. Whether it's common among young gay men I don't know, but the "crippling self-consciousness," self-doubt and loathing, and the reader's struggle against isolation each brought such clarity to my own experiences. I've smoked weed for years, and recently tried ecstasy for the second time to experience, amidst a euphoric chemical cloud, something incredibly resilient, fulfilling, and whole. It was as though my whole body was flooded with a sense of purpose, and the confidence! To feel that again after so many months of loneliness; indescribably sweet. But sadly, those moments are only faintly echoed by the sober, regular me that labors with regrets and finds it easier to just retreat from it all.
Perhaps some of this is universal--young gay men are so often shamed into a complex relationship with their sense of self, desire and identity, and so often paired with a frenetic, explosive engagement with the 'community' they've been distant from. That progression from exclusion and uncertainty to a full-throated embrace of identity is naturally jarring--unhelpfully framed by society as a grave conflict or sinful whirlwind. What I cannot shake, though, is the gut feeling that confidence, purpose and identity are all in the same pot--and that without some kind of chemical breakthrough, my brain and sense of self have been fried by the last several years.
I hear your reader's voice and fear my place in this world is slipping through my fingers--wasted destiny. It's not the drugs that worry me, save the extent to which they adjust my brain chemistry. But thinking this way, it seems life affords only so many free passes; and when hard realities (a parent's disapproval, the Christian right, the grid) necessitate hard choices, with identity/confidence in the balance, I worry my brain isn't up for the task. What if my character is too weak, my courage failing; after all, the headstrong passion I once though of as strength of will is, itself, only a hollow projection of force. Will I survive, can I choose wisdom over self-delusion enough to make it?
According to Gil Fronsdal, the Pali term nīvaraṇa means covering. Fronsdal states that these hindrances cover over: the clarity of our mind, and our ability to be mindful, wise, concentrated, and stay on purpose.[1]
In the Pali Canon's Samyutta Nikaya, several discourses juxtapose the five hindrances with the seven factors of enlightenment (bojjhanga).[a] For instance, according to SN 46.37, the Buddha stated:
Bhikkhus, there are these five obstructions, hindrances, corruptions of the mind, weakeners of wisdom. What five? Sensual desire... ill will... sloth and torpor ... restlessness and remorse... doubt...
There are, bhikkhus, these seven factors of enlightenment, which are nonobstructions, nonhindrances, noncorruptions of the mind; when developed and cultivated they lead to the realization of the fruit of true knowledge and liberation. What seven? The enlightenment factor of mindfulness... equanimity...[7][b]
To overcome the hindrances, to practise satipatthana, and to establish the awakening factors are, indeed, according to several Pali discourses, the key aspects and the distinctive features common to the awakenings of all Buddhas, past, present, and future.[8]
Anālayo further supports this by identifying that, in all extant Sanskrit and Chinese versions of the Satipatthana Sutta, only the five hindrances and seven factors of enlightenment are consistently identified under the dhamma contemplation section; contemplations of the five aggregates, six sense bases and Four Noble Truths are not included in one or more of these non-Pali versions.[8]
Herein, monks, when sense-desire is present, a monk knows, "There is sense-desire in me," or when sense-desire is not present, he knows, "There is no sense-desire in me." He knows how the arising of the non-arisen sense-desire comes to be; he knows how the abandoning of the arisen sense-desire comes to be; and he knows how the non-arising in the future of the abandoned sense-desire comes to be.[9]
[W]hen these five hindrances are not abandoned in himself, the monk regards it as a debt, a sickness, a prison, slavery, a road through desolate country. But when these five hindrances are abandoned in himself, he regards it as unindebtedness, good health, release from prison, freedom, a place of security.[10]
