Black People : Piercings - Masculine and feminine Sides?

Left = masculine

right = feminine

That's how it's always been, anything else is something new and incorrect
This is what I initially thought, till some of friends told me that was wrong. A quick search on it reveals it is opposite, left - feminine, right - masculine.

Here's the search.

The advent of piecings for men came about when fathers left the home. So did nose and eyebrow piercings for women btw




:em0200:

Well there must be a lot of fatherless folks in Africa and India. And my daughter wanted her nose pierced, and son his ear pierced and they are not fatherless. He allowed for it. Men have been getting their ears pierced at least since the 60's, and the advent of fatherless homes was homes then than it is now. Care to say where you get such information?
 
Random things on the net about feminine and masculine energy...

...the right side of your body is masculine and the left side feminine ...

Intuition, feelings, openness, and unselfishness govern the feminine side of our natures. The masculine side is characterized by logic, facts, systems, and self-interest. If you are giving too much to others to the detriment of yourself, your feminine side may be overactive and your right side may need strengthening, to speak up on your behalf, protecting and conserving your energy. If your life is too rigidly structured, your masculine aspect may be overactive; developing your feminine aspect will bring a more open-ended and creative approach.

Maintaining harmony between the left side and the right side, the feminine and masculine, is a key to wholeness. We can foster awareness of our own relative state of balance by tuning in to our bodies. When you close your eyes and scan your body, what do you see? You may find that most of your ailments, from acne to muscle tension, occur on the left side of your body. This might indicate that your feminine aspect is out of balance in some way. Similarly, if you notice a lot of tension in your right shoulder, perhaps your masculine side is overtaxed or weakened. Just noticing an imbalance is the beginning of healing it. Some imbalances may be long-standing, and it may take time to bring your system into equilibrium. Remember to be gentle with yourself and listen to your body. Over time, doing this can guide you to a dynamic state of inner and outer balance.

Every person has feminine and masculine energy. It’s the yin and yang; which is inside all of us. Feminine power is associated with inner strength, softness, inner knowing, wisdom, intuition, creativity, nurturing, passiveness, compassion, receptivity, and self-assurance. ..A balanced feminine power is displayed by a calm reaction and attitude to conflict.

Masculine energy is associated with action, aggression, movement, analytical, logical, muscular energy, and physical strength, control, will, ego...

The key is to feel the balance within the two sides—The left side of the body is known as the feminine side. The right side of the body is known as the masculine side. The right side of the brain corresponds with the left side of the body and the left side of the brain corresponds to the right side of the body. You have heard the saying that right brain people tend to be creative, intuitive, artsy, easy going, and type B personalities. And, you have probably heard left-brain people are type A personalities, analytical, driven, fast paced. Both sides, feminine and masculine must feel as important and allowed to become integrated as friends.

...Feminine energy takes into account other people’s feelings and respects each person as an individual. This energy is wise, strong, honest, powerful and responsible. When a person is really confident and grounded inside, they don’t need to put anyone down or mistreat people. They can allow their inner light to shine because they are not threatened or intimidated in anyway. This person can help others to shine without being jealous. This person’s presence automatically uplifts others just by their balanced peaceful energy.

The Masculine Side:

The masculine side deals with the strength of the self.
If you have a strong masculine side, you are in charge of your own life because you are internally controlled. You tend to look people in the eye. You stand straight, and you usually command attention when you walk into a room, whether you say anything or not. This happens because of the strength within. If you have a weak masculine side, you also have a lot of doubts. You doubt yourself, your abilities, your capability to do things. Things intimidate you and you don't move forward well. You are afraid to put yourself out there because you know you are going to fail, so you don't even try to accomplish things. If you have a weak masculine side, you often feel the need to show off your attributes and accomplishments, whereas if you have a strong masculine side you are self-confident, and don't feel it is necessary to show off.

The masculine side is full of things that you have to be strong and self-confident in order to do. These include being able to claim your basic rights, such as the right to feel free to operate independently of others, and the right to belong or fit into society in any way you please. Claiming your rights also includes being able to stand up to people who try to take away your rights, either by force or intimidation, or by manipulation, or by trying to hinder you in choosing your own direction in life. The masculine side also includes the ability to take risks when appropriate, to be decisive when necessary, and to focus or concentrate in order to get something done.


The Feminine Side:

If you have a strong feminine side and place a high value on others, you are often giving and unselfish. You usually know what is good for people, and you tend to operate in ways that helps others get what they want out of life. You happily let people operate their own life without interference from you, but when asked, you are also willing to help by supporting, cooperating, and giving advice. People feel comfortable with you because you give of who you are without pushing yourself on others. If you have a strong feminine side, people also feel comfortable being around you because there is no selfishness for them to detect.

If you have a weak feminine side, you place a low value on others, and you are not a giving person. Instead, you are selfish and greedy, and tend to keep yourself closed off from people. You are isolated because you don't want to share yourself, or anything you have. Also, you don't take responsibility for yourself, but blame others for your problems. Although the feminine side is generally not as well understood as the masculine side, the negative or selfish aspect of the feminine side is something almost everybody recognizes, especially in others. In fact, it may be the most easily recognizable characteristic of all, because of the discomfort factor involved in being around a selfish person. If someone has a weak feminine side, it could also be said that he has a strong dark side (the evil or negatively motivated side). The feminine side is always very weak in someone with a strong dark side, while the masculine side can be anywhere from weak to strong.

If you have a strong feminine side, you often behave in ways that are considered feminine in nature. You do things you have to be giving and unselfish in order to do. These include recognizing the basic right of all people to use their own will to operate their own life...The feminine side also includes having enthusiasm and zest for life, and recognizing what things are worth getting enthusiastic about. And it includes having the persistence and tenacity to stay with things to the end, while still knowing when to give up on something if your energy is better used elsewhere. In addition, the feminine side also includes being kind, compassionate, patient, responsive to the needs of others, and it includes knowing how much energy you can put into each of these without hurting yourself by draining your own energy.

Sexuality and the Masculine/Feminine Balance:
The stronger the masculine side, the stronger is your sex drive, and the more aggressive you are sexually. The stronger the feminine side, the more giving you are sexually. Also, the stronger the feminine side, the greater is your capacity to really enjoy sex when the circumstances are right. This is why selfish people generally don't enjoy sex very much. So it can be seen that the best lovers are people whose masculine and feminine sides are both strong.

in my hood if u had an earring on just ur right ear u were a str8 up f@g...
u can't believe everything on the net nowadayz.....

one love
khasm

It's not just a net thing, maybe it's regional?

What you just said is the same thing I told or ask of this one guy who got his left ear pierced first, and then went on to have both done later.

If you are a guy, left ear is gay because left is feminine.

I wonder who or what changed it and why?


btw - generally speaking
- I am not saying that having a left or right ear pierced makes you gay or not, I'm talking about perception. So many people are getting pierced up now adays I can't tell who is what, when, or how. I've know straight dudes with cheeks, tongues, 'monroe' and every other kinda piercings. While they were accepted among the white men (who were deemed to be weird anyway), they weren't taken too kindly black men. Now as it becoming more popular, many hetero guys black guys are getting pierced up.

Even tupac had his ear pierced.
And sometimes androgynous Lenny K was once rumored to have had his penee pierced. That..... sounds like fun :em3700: :wink:
