-Jack Kerouac

“Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads.”

“Here we are, arguably the most intellectual, clever species ever to have lived – so how is it that we can destroy the only planet we have?”

-Sri Chinmoy Ghose

"Man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much...the wheel, New York, wars, ad so on, whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely the dophins believed themselves to be more intelligent than man for precisely the same reasons."
-The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Thanks for joining APHRODISIA. We have several discussions already going on, so please feel free to jump in, or to start your own.

Don't be confused by all the rules on the homepage. They are pretty simple:

1. Just ID your discussion (in the title) for content.
2. No mystery links. Identity the site and content of each link.
3. No porn, per Ning ToS. Anything racy must have NSFW included.

Hi there Tom. Welcome to AoM! I see you have joined my son's group Man Bags. Good move. Also, I'd like to give you a friendly invite to check out my group, The Great Debate. Just click on "Groups." It's the one with the colorful galaxy picture. It's also one of the most active groups on AoM. In any case, great to have you with us.

AoM site FAQ or customization tips

Anyone out there know of articles on how to use this site most efficiently? I don't see any sort of FAQ or tutorials.As an example, I noticed that there are a few guys on here that are very good at keeping up with many conversations, and I'd love to here your tricks.  It seems to be tricky to keep up on what's read and what's unread, for example.  I didn't see an option to customize the color or weight of visited links, nor does there appear to be an unread 'orb' - anything really.Are you guys…See More
