This is mainly for guys, but i was wondering if anyone beats their chest, or something similar?
I can't fully remember the reason in why monkeys or our anscetors do it? some sort of power or intimidation ritual or something.
Although sometimes when i am playing basketball or maybe another sport i hit my chest a few times (quite firmly, though not too hard, it'd probably leave a bit of a mark), just with my right fist and sorta near the heart on the left side, and it sometimes helps pump me up.
I also sometimes do it if i've done something good (well i think) and its like saying "your the fuckin man" or something to that effect, to myself.
I thought it mainly had to do with physical stuff, but i got a pretty good assesment score the other day and i did it then as well., somewhat unconsciously but then realised what i did afterwards and i was suprised by that.
As part of the team bonding or whatever that goes on in a sport team, i do it a bit there as well, to other players to pump them up. Also "chesters" and "ass slapping" takes place :P
Although we're all heterosexuals ( i think, lol) it has nothing to do with sexual stimulation.
So does anyone else (mainly males i guess) have any kind of physical reaction to themselves to help fire them up or change their attitude/mindset about something?
I find it quite helpful sometimes, no matter how sad that sounds?
