I very much enjoyed reading this thread, learned a lot, thanks to everyone for sharing.

I have noticed that when I am very low or no carb for a while my interest in sex is very low. Sexual thoughts increase with more carbs.

Perhaps people in general aren't meant to have such a strong interest in sex as we are currently led to believe.

This is a thought I had some months ago, so thank you truth seeker for sharing yours and for the links, the second one is really interesting, and "more accessible" to understand the meaning.

I am really interested in this line of thinking. It seems that strong interest in sex is not only manipulated by mainstream medicine, in the way that one should have a "healthy" libido, a diet rich in carbs, but also listening to music as in activating the sacculus as explained in the 'Sex, Lies and Menopause'-book by T.S. Wiley, chapter 1:
"Since time began, men and women have heard music and been driven to sexual ecstasy. It’s common knowledge that listening to music can be a religious experience—especially loud music. For many in Western culture, until the Renaissance, God was actually conceived of as only sound or a vibration. The scientific reason for this is that in the software controlling hearing and balance in your brain, a small organ called the sacculus, part of the balance-regulating system in the inner ear, is “tickled” at certain decibel levels. Loud music can activate the sacculus and create the feeling of movement or floating. That’s why listening to music above 70 decibels sends a pleasurable buzz through the sacculus that ends up at the hypothalamus, a buzz that thrills the listener in the way bungee jumping or swinging very high does, a simultaneous flying and falling feeling.2-6 It’s no coincidence that the distribution of frequencies typical
of rock concerts and dance clubs is at exactly the right decibel level to make listeners feel as if they’re floating. Your sacculus also speaks to the part of your brain that controls drives like hunger, sex, and more than a few other hedonistic responses—the hypothalamus.7-13 That’s part of the reason sex, drugs, and rock and roll go so well together. Of course, the drugs we take now—Prozac, Paxil, Klonopin, Ambien, Tamoxifen, Vioxx, Claritin, or Lipitor, Beta-blockers or ACE Inhibitors, not to mention Advil and Tylenol PM, just aren’t as much fun."

Music stimulates the same part of the brain as sex
Also, I can't help thinking that the C's say that all sexual energy goes straight to 4D STS
Session 7 January 1995:
Q: (L) Of all the modes of sexual expression, which one is more likely to advance one to 4th density more rapidly?
A: Total celibacy.
Q: (D) Well then I'm okay! {laughter} (V) Can you explain why total celibacy?
A: Because you are then "letting go" of the cravings for physicality. {That is, celibacy when one has let go of cravings is effortless. Celibacy that is an effort is probably not positive because it is done in an effort to GET something, i.e. advance to 4D.}
Q: (T) It is a 3rd density act which entices you to 3rd density. (L) Okay, now, what is the second most likely for advancement? {laughter} (D) We have me taken care of, now we're going to get you taken care of! (J) In order of importance... {laughter}
A: Does it matter?
Q: (D) It does to Laura, would you please answer? (L) I suppose that everyone should get to the point that they would simply desire to be totally celibate and totally let go of all physical things and so forth, but, we have left to us, at this point, heterosexuality, homosexuality, bisexuality and multisexuality {laughter} (D) We also have the ability to take pleasure in our physical bodies in those forms of sexuality. We have the ability to have pleasure in the flesh and they can't. And, what I have read, is that they envy that. (L) Is that true, that you envy our physicality?
A: No. Not in the least!
Q: (L) I have read that when you are at the higher spiritual levels that you can do a spiritual merge which is better than orgasm. Is that true?
A: Why do you need orgasm of any kind?
Q: (L) Well, it does seem to be like one of the ultimate experiences of physicality. (T) That's exactly it... it's physicality... (L) If that is so, isn't everything that exists in the physical, 3rd density world, in some way a reflection of experiences or states of being on higher realms?
A: 3rd density as you experience it is an illusion you have been fed to continue your imprisonment therein.
Q: (L) So, in other words, there is no cosmic orgasm that keeps the worlds in existence as exemplified by the eternally copulating Vishnu and Shiva?
A: That is Bull! {laughter}
Q: (L) Well, they teach this stuff in the Eastern religions and they even have the idols sculpted in this posture...
A: That is a rationalization to continue the illusion.
Q: (L) So, in other words, the orgasmic experience is quite literally a lure to keep us... (D) Controlled... (T) And in the third level... (L) Is that true?
A: Yes.
Q: (L) Let's go back to a question I asked in another session on this same subject: what happens to our energy at the point of orgasm? Where does that energy go?
A: Drains to 4th level STS.
Q: (T) Is this a manifestation of the Lizards feeding off of us?
A: STSers there retrieve it.
Q: (T) So, orgasm is a 3rd density manifestation of the 4th density consumption of 3rd density energy?
A: One of their methods.
Q: (D) In "Bringers of the Dawn" it talks about sex and it says that it is an expression of love and so forth and that you should not have sex with someone who does not really love you.
A: Love is all that is needed.
Q: (L) If two individuals, as an expression of true love at higher levels, desire to express this love in a physical way, is it possible to channel the energy in a positive way without feeding the 4th level STS guys?
A: Nope.
Q: (L) In other words, no matter what you do, how you think, or whatever, that's where it goes?
A: Sex is a physical craving.
In relation to menstruation and menopause and possible bio-identical hormone replacement, I can report that I had mirena removed 2 weeks ago, after having had them for 14 years with zero menstruation. Been only paleo for 2 years, so I can't really say that diet made any difference in my case. Before going paleo, my periods were quite light and painless. I used mirena as per advice from the GP for contraception, completely safe they said and at that time I had not done much research on it. As per the last pap smear, also 2 weeks ago, they found atropic pattern cells which goes hand in hand with thinning of vaginal lining, limited estrogen in the body, dry eyes, lousy sleep pattern. I am 48 years old so probably time for menopause. T.S. Wiley makes a very convincing case to try and do something healthy and life-sustaining about falling hormone levels and the subsequent risk of unpleasant diseases. There is only one clinic here in the Middle East region where I live that claims that they do bio-identical hormone replacement, and I will undoubtedly find out about whether or not they use the Wiley Protocol. I made an appointment for Thursday, just for a consult, see what they say and, not un-importantly, what the cost is. Will report then. Is there at present anyone else who is taking bio-identical hormone replacement?
