A few years ago, I was your typical office-worker: stressed out, uneven energy, overweight, and inconsistent complexion. Now I'm just your typical 28-year old urban hunter-gatherer on a quest to be healthy, and having a few adventures along the way. See my full bio.
This new PETA ad is hilarious. PETA has long known about the most powerful motivational force in the world, and suggests that men who go vegan not only will get laid, but will become amazing in bed. Have a look.
Drop dead funny. Did you see the dweeby intellectual guy they casted? That's the target audience. DWEEBY DUDE, DON'T FALL FOR IT! You're a smart guy, think with your brain for a second.
You'd have to be an ideological zealot to believe that a vegan diet will make you better in bed. You'd be better off eating a traditional Masai warrior diet of meat, blood, and milk.
Here's how you score with vegan and vegetarian women:
If you ask why vegetarian women don't eat meat, more than half the time you'll find that they stopped because they found it disgusting. The human sense of disgust is largely innate (though modified by experience) and tends to be triggered by things that are probable vectors of disease, like feces, rotten meat, or festering wounds. In the words of Steven Pinker, disgust is an "intuitive microbiology." As the ones caring for and feeding infants, it makes sense that women would have a more sensitive disgust mechanism. (Something that PETA also understands.) Probe into the early years of a lot of vegetarians, and it was often a moment of disgust that triggered their conversion. Most of their intellectual arguments are just half-baked rationalizations of their existing eating habits.
Trust me, if sex with vegan women were that easy (or that awesome), PETA wouldn't need an ad campaign to tell men about it.

Just want to point out some
Just want to point out some of the messages this commercial sends:1. if your boyfriend likes it rough, even to the point of injuring you, you should just grin and take it. A women who says"no" or "stop?" Preposterous!2. following from the above, sexual battery is funny.
My wife and I are vegan for
My wife and I are vegan for many years. Neck have had no problems. Vienee all this publicity in the wake of a study in which vegans we were better lovers. Leave to sedate your consciousness, caveman.We are animalistic, fuck PETA! Go vegan!

Well, first off monks
Well, first off monks embrace vegetarianism because they embrace the practice of ahimsa - non violence - to innocent tcreatures - not to humans who deserve it as in the Shaolin monks of China or the Kshatriyas of India where martial arts originated. Second all esoteric teachings teach of men conserving their Chi - not spewing it everywhere. Read "The Tao of Love, Sex and Longevity" Fertility foods tend to be animal based? Nonsense - maybe in a barbaric culture not in the Aryuveda system of medicine - the oldest on the planet. Is getting laid the key to life? Not for me, but If you can't get laid whether youre a vegan or a so-called hunter/gatherer thats because you're wack, but at least the plant-based person isnt supporting the destruction of planet earth and the animals for the sake of his genitals. And Mr Hunter, i find most dont hunt they go to the supermarket like a bunch of pussies and buy their meat. The fact is you are outmatched by most if not all animals you hunt if you had just your bare hands. Now, if you go and try and take down and animal like a deer etc in the woods well after you got your ass kicked youd wake up. Ive been plant based for almost 32 years, I'm turning 50, and the amont of resarch I've conducted over the years from real scientists like Dr. Fred Bisci PhD in Nutritional Science and others kept me on the path. WTF is an urban hunter gatherer anyway? Urban.... you live in the city dude. So unles youre eating pigeons, rats and an occasional squirrel good luck with that. Disgust was not the first motivator, knowledge was, but even if it was so fucking what. Judge a thing by the result ... a plant based diet can save the starving millions, it saves planet earth, your health and the animals as well, who you dont seem to mind killing. See "FORKS OVER KNIVES" - talk to real experts not some speculators who wrote a few books. And btw - The Vedic Culture is the oldest on earth - millions and millions of years old and they never ate animals. They were of higher consciousness - in the material world one living entity is food for another - true - so we as compassionate humans should eat that which suffers the least and as it turns out its the best food for us. Just because you think its macho and you tell girls "Im a hunter / gatherer baby" your weak ass cornball rap doesnt mean you know what time it is, you will suffer the karma for every animal you eat, guaranteed! And as far as toughness is concerned a lot of the UFC fighters are going plant based.. and my buddy Brendan Brazier got hired by the US Navy SEAL's in Virgina as they too are catching on. Bottom line, If youre a chump youre a chump, I grew up on the streets of NYC the Lower East Side in th e70's and have seen my share of violence - the fact is eating animals and calling yourself an urban hunter gatherer wont change that, no matter how many animals you eat. And last but not least meat (full of toxic nitrogen gas), dairy, eggs and fish are acid forming proteins that clog the arteries - including the main vein. If PETA has to get through to dudes heads by their little heads, more power to them.. most guys think with their dicks so I say BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY - John Joseph (singer Cro-Mags NYC - Aothor "Meat is for Pussies" and "The Evolution of a Cro-Magnon")
JJ,I gotta call BS on your
JJ,I gotta call BS on your "facts"1 - the vedic culture started about 1700 BCE, that's only about 3700 years not MILLIONS2 - mankind has only existed about 150,000 years, again millions and millions is an out and out lie. Perhaps the lack of animal based amino acids and proteins impacted your mental capacity to stay firmly rooted in reality.3 - Humans, even back to prehumans (Cro magnum and Homo Erectus) were OMNIVORES. Sure plants and berries helped but there also needs to be an animal flesh constituent to the diet.4 - Being Omnivores, man (in the global sense) needs a BALANCED diet. To dedicate your eating habits to just meat or just plants does not square with the design of the human body. To eat just plant based materials would require multiple stomachs or longer digestive tracts. To claim that soy is a viable protein substitute has been debunked ad nauseum. It also raises the levels of estrogen in the human body. Anyone who's studied human reproduction of human biology knows that it's testosterone that's responsible for libido in both men and women. Estrogen is also given to women as birth control. This alters and can stop their periods.5 - Being good in bed is dependant on health. A more athletic, active person will by nature perform better any a physical task. Now if you think just laying there and sweating makes you a stellar lover, I feel sorry for your dates.Now based on the clarifications, If you decide you want to live as a vegan, all the power to you. You should have the right to choose what to eat (provided it's legal and you are not a child ). You also need to extend that right to others you may not agree with.
LOL "To eat just plant based
LOL "To eat just plant based materials would require multiple stomachs or longer digestive tracts"...So the millions of Vegans around the world must have grown an extra stomach or stretched out their digestive tract.
JJ--Can we also acknowledge
JJ--Can we also acknowledge that non violence should apply to women as well, and that this ad and all of PETAs tactics are coarse, sexist, objectifying, and play to the lowest common denominator!?
Promoting non violence towards animals by glorifying sexual violence towards women (whether it's implied or blatant) makes no sense, and is the reason that even as a veg, I'm vehemently ANTI PETA. But thanks for calling out this supermarket shopper who fancies himself a hunter.
JD-- this is the stupidest most self aggrandizing insecure little dicked blog/post I've read in my life. You think that PETA ad is funny? I think it's vile. And your point about why celibate holy men all over the world being veg bc it kills sex drive:
When trying tommake your absurd point, are you factoring in the Irish Catholic priests who get a special dispensation from the Vatican to eat corned beef when St Patty's falls on a Fri during Lent, because by my account their eating meat and then forcibly face fucking little boys surely isn't the best support for your case. So eat veggies in India, live celibate and pathetic despite having chosen a holy life, vs eat meat in America and rape little boys? Is that what youre driving at? Because that seems like maybe there might be some flaw in your reasoning?!
I am also glad to see that you fancy yourself an expert on women's reproductive health. Any number of factors can produce amenorrhea in women, including preservatives in processed food, an over zealous athletic schedule, inherited hormone imbalances, stress, excessive drug or alcohol consumption, etc. Veganism or vegetarianism is by no means any indicator of sexual health or ability. You and PETA are parading the same mule around with a different blanket on its back.
I also find it fascinating that you think youre an expert on what women want and what we consider manly. Dude, you think you're tough and posess superior masculinity because you call yourself a hunter? As John said, what are you hunting, squirrels?! You live in Manhattan, you're from Michigan. Like John Joseph, I too am from the Lower East Side, and I think you look like a damn chump. Most women don't find chumps sexy. If you tried to talk to me I'd *laugh* at you! I'd wager you couldn't find your way out of a paper bag above 125th street, and I assure you my stray cat feeding/sensitive guy/red meat eschewing Italian from Jersey City husband could beat the ever loving piss out of you, since by your measure being a man is about being tough and able to kill and hurt things that can't fight back. Oh, and also scoring chicks. Damn, that vegetable eating man has got it all. There goes your stereotype.
You look like just another smug know it all transplant asshole, and I don't know any self respecting REAL women in this City who would fuck you if you ate meat OR tofu and shit gold.
Nonsensical post. -Women
Nonsensical post.
-Women that eat a variety of diets lose their periods.
-The celibate monks argument is as weak as me pointing out that most serial killers eat meat. Flawed!
-Some traditional fertility foods, based on myth and pseudo science, such as eating penis in China are animal based. But tradition does not equal science. Such nonsense is akin to eating brains to become more intelligent or muscle to become stronger. Some plant based foods have been shown to increase fertility and there is science to back it up.
-For a minute I thought you went to a grocery store and bought your meat, but at least you are hunting for all your food.
One of the main factors of being good in bed is blood flow to the genitals. Plant based diets have been shown to reduce damage and plaque build up within the arteries. The endothelium is stronger on a plant based diet, producing more Nitric Oxide which is responsible for getting oxygen to the muscles, making you a better athlete and better in bed.
There is a common misconception amongst men that compassion is equal to weakness. This is not the case and one can be tough and kind. Killing a wild animal is not necessarily tough. If you track down a lion and wrestle it with your bare hand and then kill it I would admit that is tough, but to shoot an animal with a rifle or bow and arrow isn't tough or manly at all. What to speak of buying your meat at the store, whether it was grass fed or not. Killing doesn't make you tough or more attractive or better in bed.
You post has no facts that support your position. Actually a plant based diet is far more logically sound if getting someone into bed is your goal.
Coupled with this the arguments of overall health, longevity, helping world hunger, the environment, cost of food and so on make the overall argument for Veganism very strong.
No I am not some dweeby dude. I am a professional MMA fighter. I ride fast motorcycles and jump out of airplanes. Are you saying that I am not tough or manly or not good in bed?
Happy to argue intellectually with you at any time. I think you will find that Veganism is a logically coherent and consistent belief system and Carnism is not.
Agreed, Lightning. The meat =
Agreed, Lightning. The meat = manliness mantra is far more mythic than any explicit PETA video promoting a plant-based diet via heathy veins and artieries leading to the genitals. We know for a fact that most people can be strong, active, healthy and happy human beings who live for a long time on plant-based diet. We also know for a fact that most animals have complex inner lives and deserve validation and consideration within the context of working toward a just and sustainable society. If we are ever to have a sustainable sociey that values social justice, we must consider the non-human perspective and respect it. We cannot have it both ways. Most vegans have no problem with people who kill to survive. The vegan who want the lion to lay down with the lamb is a straw-man. But unlike susistence hunters and animals who eat a cute fluffy bunny, many of us have the choice as to where we derive our nutrition. We can be healthy in more than one way, and we are not obligate carnivores. Choosing to breed and kill animals when there are other options is not defesible in the context of a just and sustainable society. That's what an ideal society can be, a mortal refuge from the indiscrimiate laws of natural order. Bringing beings with a valid perspectie but an invalidated voice into our societies as nothing but meat is ruthless and is no way to treat our only known fellow creatures in the entire universe. The lengths that people go to in order to rationalize mainstream male identity via killing and meat-eating, or to rationalize the pleasure derived from the taste of meat by any means necessary continues to amaze me.

Ermm, right. Because you
Ermm, right. Because you paleo guys are sooooo manly when you kill defenceless animals to participate in a prevailing culture. Grow some balls and go against society's norms. You don't need animal products. If you are a real man then you should be better than that.
