This week the “sparkly bit” that has captured my attention is ferocity (or fierceness or ferociousness… whichever word is your favorite). It came up several times and, most recently, last night at yoga when my yoga instructor was talking about how fierce yoginis were. That cinched it – Ferocity it is!
I ran a search on Pinterest for “fierce” and there was the usual amount of inspiring quotes about “sticking with it” and “Though she be little…” and I also noticed a large amount of lion and wolf pictures. What is it about a lion that makes you think of ferocity and why does thinking about someone being fierce make us tingle with excitement? Is it the mane? That wild shock of hair surrounding their face and framing a powerful mouth full of teeth designed to tear flesh? Yeah, that could be it. Let’s look into the face of ferocity a bit more:
Hair: Symbolically speaking hair generally represents emotions: the wilder the hair – the wilder the emotions. A lion’s mane is huge, wild, and untamed. It stands to reason that the fierceness of their manes would represent the fierceness of their emotions. Isn’t that what everyone wants? Someone who feels so fiercely for them that they can barely contain their emotions.
Teeth: Both lions and wolves have large mouths full of sharp teeth. Bared teeth are a reminder that you’re vulnerable and those powerful jaws can tear open your throat. The authority and conviction in bared teeth is as exciting as being with someone who’s dangerous. Remember how sexy danger is? (In case you forgot or need a refresher) Bared teeth cue our danger response.
Hunger: Hunger literally is desire, the desire to consume. Lions are hungry carnivores endlessly seeking to consume their prey. Everyone wants to have their someone crave them so fiercely they’re in danger of being devoured, or has been so hungry for another that they run the risk of being engulfed with such powerful emotions.
In addition, sexual desire is also suppressed by foods containing big amounts of sugar – they’re primarily sweets and sweetened drinks. purchase viagra in uk The artery constriction results from atherosclerosis, an tadalafil in canada illness of cardiac system.

Warriors are aggressive. The confidence, dominance, and strength in a warrior is enough to make a girl catch her breath. Women want to be protected, to have their man stand and protect them, and he’ll have to be aggressive to do it.
So what is it I want to say to you this week? I try to write about uplifting, sexy, and inspiring things (and the occasional random thought), and this week I was struck by the ferocity of love. Ferocity is desirable, and love is fierce. It is ferocious because it is everything we just discussed. Love is hungry, love is aggressive, love can consume you and rip you apart. But, thankfully, love is also compassionate. It is strong, silent, and unwavering. And when you’ve been held captive and torn apart by love, it may just be the one thing that can save you.
