We had to build things Ed knew a lot about,” Mr. Hauser, who died in 2021, said in an interview in 2015. “We were starting something very new, a first effort to do pay TV. It was the beginning of the modern cable business, and Ed loved it.” Edward Bleier, who brought Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig and other Looney Tunes characters to generations of Saturday morning TV viewers before becoming a prime mover in the rise of cable television and the transformation of Time Warner Cable into an industry giant, died on Tuesday at his home in East Hampton, N.Y. He turned 94 the day before. Will future sex even involve other people? Or will human sexuality continue to drift toward interaction with virtual partners?

Mr. Bleier’s biggest contributions came at Warner Bros. Answering a call from Steven J. Ross, the New York parking lot magnate who bought Warner Brothers studio in 1969, Mr. Bleier signed on to run the New York programming and sales office. As Mr. Ross built the company, Mr. Bleier became a trusted adviser, shaping the strategy for taking the company into cable television and new digital media. Before we’d just eat whatever we find, and thus naturally have a high variety of foods and nutrients. But once we started mass producing the same few things, we took a toll on our health. Sex at Dawn argues against monogamy, and the person who I heard about it from, also does. I’m at the other end of the spectrum, which makes reading this uncomfortable for me, but that also means I’m learning. In a departure from television in 2003, Mr. Bleier produced a best-selling book, “The Thanksgiving Ceremony: New Traditions for America’s Family Feast,” a paean to his favorite holiday, with a foreword by Mr. Safire. “My attitude is that everything embodied in this country is in that holiday and should be celebrated accordingly,” Mr. Bleier said.I also suggest you read the summary of this book first, because the topic is very controversial. It’s worth investigating a bit, before taking the plunge. Who would I recommend the Sex At Dawn summary to?

Those who had more land, or a bigger farm, were more prosperous. The tendency to try and own as much as possible brought out greed and jealousy in humans. We can't know someone's inner nature and intentions based solely upon the content of their outbursts.The only way tomake sure was to get a woman to stay with him, which ended up in public scrutiny of women who had sex with different partners, violence against women and, of course, marriage. Lesson 2: Women want sex just as much as men, but they are conditioned to play it down. Similarly, since hunter-gatherers didn’t settle, they didn’t own much, neither possessions, nor “people” in the form oflong-term partners. Simultaneously to the creation of marriage and the family,the notion arose that women’s libido is lower than men’s. For Mr. Bleier, QUBE’s success underscored his philosophy about a coming wave of change. “We had the approach that software drove the hardware,” he said, “and I took a McLuhanesque approach — that although content is king, form is emperor. Technology determines the content.” My wife and I have been married for more than 10 years, but recently our sex drives have gone in different directions. My desire to have sex with her is increasing, but this is not reciprocated. She has said we can have sex only at the weekend, but that it should not be planned as she prefers spontaneity. Given that we have two children with lots of hobbies and activities, as well as our own interests, the opportunities for even planned sex are limited . I find myself getting tense at the thought of no intimacy and it can feel quite stressful as the weekend progresses. Any suggestion that we could do it on a weekday is immediately rejected. I love my wife deeply and find her even more attractive than when we met. But this situation is very difficult and I am not prepared to have an unsatisfying sex life for ever .

Because of men’s high testosterone levels and their (especially today) often competitive behavior around women, the message we receive in public and the media is that women are prudes and less hungry for sex. The switch from our ancestors’ sexual “sharing is caring” mentality in their hunter-gatherer-tribes occurred once we started to settle down and farm our own food.

In 2005, its Center for the Study of Popular Television, part of the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, was renamed the Bleier Center for Television and Popular Culture thanks to a large donation from Mr. Bleier. Interesting? Yes. Weird? Hell yeah. But interesting nonetheless. Especially because there’s also scientific research to show our bodies have evolved for monogamy.

Women’s sexuality seems to be more fluid, however, as they were aroused by a much bigger variety of images, for example even monkeys having sex.

Sentence-Summary: Sex at Dawnchallenges conventional views on sex by diving deep into our ancestors’ sexual history and the rise of monogamy, thus prompting us to rethink our understanding of what sex and relationships should really feel and be like.He joined ABC in the early 1950s and spent the next 14 years at the network. While he believed that the medium could be used for social good, he also understood that commercial television had to reach the largest possible audience and earn a profit. He helped guide the company into partnerships with American Express and later Time Inc. In 1990, Warner Cable became Time Warner Cable. (It was acquired by Charter Communications in 2016, becoming the nation’s second-largest cable operator, after Comcast.) Until he retired from Time Warner in 2005, Mr. Bleier continued to explore new digital media markets, including one for on-demand content delivered through the internet. Even into his 80s he continued to consult with the company. Have you ever considered that you are most likely to read books whose message you already agree with? For example, The 4-Hour Workweekwas right what I wanted to hear, and I’m assuming that’s a big part of the reason why I read it in the first place. I do not agree with the message of Sex at Dawn: The Prehistoric Origins of Modern Sexuality. But that doesn’t mean I didn’t learn from it. However, in spite of it mainly promoting polygamy, it also makes some amends. The book does say we must not confuse sex and love, since they are 2 distinct things. Love for your spouse, no matter how profound and sincere, will probably not eliminate your innate yearning for erotic novelty.
