"If someone cares enough about me to fake their orgasm, I'm OK with that."
Men that The Chemical Buddha knew spent their early sexual lives worrying if they were satisfying their partners. And then worked hard to figure out what it would take to make them happy in bed. It's well documented that TCB didn't share their concerns. He didn't wonder if his lover's orgasm was 'real' or not. There was so much more to worry about. Like his own orgasm. And when it came right down to it, if someone cared enough to not hurt his feelings by pretending they felt something (anything) then that to him was the sincerest from of love possible. Because only those that truly loved him would be concerned about his pleasure and his feelings.
Do you lie to avoid hurting people's feelings?
How do you feel when people are critical of you? Would you rather have the truth or feel good about yourself (assuming both aren't always possible)?

Do You See What I See?
"The brain sees only what it recognizes. Which is why you look like a vagina smoking a joint to me."
For millennia various philosophers and religions have talked about how the world around us is merely an illusion. How we don't really see what's happening around us. The sages, mystics, and shamans have said our concept of reality has very little to do with what's really there. This is a concept The Chemical Buddha heavily bought into. In fact, he took it further and twisted reality into what he wanted it to be. Some called it living in his own fantasy world. He called it reality substitution. And who was to say his version of what was happening was any better or worse than what other people saw or believed?
Why do you believe what you believe?
How do you cope when things aren't as you want them to be?
Does your version of reality align with other peoples' versions?
If your version is different, how does that help and hurt you and your relationships.

Bliss This
"Bliss has many forms: smokeable, injectable, drinkable, edible, and fuckable."
Like Joseph Campbell, The Chemical Buddha was a big believer in doing what (and who) made you happy. Luckily for TCB, there were a lot of things that made him happy, so he didn't need to limit himself to one form of bliss. He attributed his happiness and longevity, such that it was, to his vast menu of things he liked. However, unlike Mr. Campbell, The Chemical Buddha was perfectly OK with his bliss coming at the expense of others. In his mind, his selfishness (or bliss bogarting) would spur people to get fed up with being taken advantage of and eventually find their own form of bliss to follow.
What makes you happy?
What are you willing to do to be happy?
Are you willing to potentially be miserable in the short-term if it means you'll have long-term happiness?

More Questions
"The real existential question is, 'what's for dinner?'"
As a Buddha, The Chemical Buddha was often asked about the meaning of life, what came after this life, what death was like, etc. But to TCB, none of these questions were all that important. That's because, for most of us, we didn't really need to know the answer right now. And even if we did, we'd all get to find out what the answer was soon enough. No. To The Chemical Buddha, the question that needed answering the most was about what he was going to eat next and who he was going to fuck next. Those covered his more immediate needs. Why worry about death when you might not eat or get laid again?
What big, esoteric questions do you try to answer?
Do you think getting the answer will help, or are you just distracting yourself from your more immediate needs?
What in your life feeds you and your soul?

More Than I can Handle
"If given the choice, I’d rather get more sex than I want, then less."
To The Chemical Buddha, life was about choices. Of course, this all fell apart when it came to sex. Because then he had to find someone to choose to have sex with him at the same time. And more often then not, they choose to not have sex with him. This led to TCB's world view that it's always better to be offered more than you want than to be left wanting. So whenever possible, The Chemical Buddha would work to ensure he was at least offered something. Be it plastic shopping bags, Styrofoam peanuts, twist ties, empty beer cans, or punches to the face. He was happy as long as people were offering him more than he wanted.
What do you not get enough of?
What do you get too much of?
How might you better balance the two? How often do you ask for what you want?

Size is About Perspective
"It looks a lot bigger when it's right in your face."
As has been covered at various times in these posts, The Chemical Buddha was hung like a baby gerbil. A baby female gerbil at that. So it didn't take TCB long to realize that if he put his equipment right in the face of a potential fuck, they were more likely to see it. As long as he had manscaped (or even shaved off all his pubic hair.) This observation was fundamental to his belief that everything had a viewing distance. Some things seem a lot bigger when you're close to them, but shrink when you get the proper perspective. What was important was figuring out how close to get to a problem to understand it.
What issues are you overwhelmed by?
How might a change of view/perspective help you see those issues in their proper size?

Bone in
"More erections are wasted in a day than are used in a year. Stop the senseless waste of erections!"
The Chemical Buddha discovered that he only used a small percentage of the erections he had in any given day. In fact, he put far fewer erections to work then he would have liked. This was the turning point and the motivation for his new view of his 'littleB uddha'. As a result, he vowed to put more of his erections towards the purpose of pleasure creation. Of course, this meant he got several tickets for masturbating in public and it wasn't unusual to look up from dinner to see him pleasuring himself at the table. It was around this time he became fond of saying, "Happiness is a stiff dick." Up until the time of this death, TCB figured he was getting pleasure from 10% of his daily boners.
What things in your life are you not taking full advantage of?
How might utilizing what is already at hand, help you enjoy your life more?
