For example, at the XNXX website, 43 of Mandy Flores' porn videos are available free. The "Top 10" of her porn videos at XNXX have been viewed by millions of boys and men of all ages for a grand total of 805.8 million views at XNXX alone (as of April 8, 2025; her fans at XNXX view her 43 porn videos there so frequently that the number of views for each of her 43 videos keeps increasing regularly).

Wow! Mandy Flores' "Top 10" videos at XNXX have been viewed a total of 805.8 million times thus far. Her most popular video at XNXX has been viewed 451.9 million times!

My most popular OEN article has been viewed 11,691 times. For my 665 OEN articles to have been viewed one million times, each of my 665 OEN articles would have to have been viewed 1,655.6 times - unimaginable for my 665 OEN articles!

For my "Top 10" OEN articles to have been viewed a total of 805.8 million times, each of my "Top 10" OEN articles would have to have been viewed something like an average of 80.6 million times - unimaginable for my "Top 10" OEN articles!

Ah, but can you imagine just how widely known I would be if my "Top 10" OEN articles over the years had been viewed for a grand total of 541.9 million times?! I'd probably be the most famous op-ed commentator in the English-speaking world!

So, yes, I envy the now-retired pornstar Mandy Flores for having been viewed on XNXX a grand total of 541.9 million times in her "Top 10" videos at XNXX. May God continue to bless Mandy Flores in whatever work she now undertakes.

But, alas, at the XNXX website, they do not have my favorite Mandy Flores' mom-son porn video: "Mom and Son Share a Creampie" (2017). As you may have surmised by now, I dwell on Mandy Flores' wonderfully seductive performance in her charming "Mom and Son Share a Creampie" (2017) video in my long "Digression: My Love Song About Mandy Flores and Her Mom-Son Porn videos" in my 28,800-word 665th OEN article "Fareed Zakaria and Ezra Klein on President Trump's Foreign Policy" (dated March 24, 2025). Because I mention Mandy Flores 250 time in it, that is my favorite of my 665 OEN articles. Let me now explain the memorable backstory about writing that OEN article.

For two weeks in March 2025, I had no phone or internet service as I was writing my 665th OEN article. Consequently, as I wrote in the essay that I was writing about Mandy Flores and her charming mom-son videos, especially her charming "Mom and Son Share a Creampie" video, I could not stop periodically and check my memory of certain details in one of her many mom-son videos against the actual video in question by re-watching it and thereby refreshing my memory of details in it. As I wrote about Mandy Flores' body in graphic detail during those two weeks when I had not phone or internet service, I sensed her presence in my psyche - I felt that I was communing closely with her as I wrote from memory about her as graphically and vividly as I could. As you may imagine, my writing about her in such graphic and vivid detail during those two weeks in March became a memorable experience for me.

Now, I have stated above that my experience of making a 30-day directed retreat in silence (except for the daily conferences with the retreat director) following the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius Loyola was one of the most memorable experiences of my long life (I turned 81 on March 17, 2025, when I was writing my 28,800-word 665th OEN article). Well, as you may have surmised by now, my experience of writing my 28.800-word 665th OEN article is now also another one of my most memorable experiences in my life - thanks in large measure to my writing about Mandy Flores in it.

Now, even so, I cannot tell you certain points of information about my online relationship with Mandy Flores. I cannot tell you when I first started watching her porn videos that are available free on the internet. I also cannot tell you when I exchanged email messages with her - which I recount doing in my 28,800-word 665th OEN article. Nor can I tell you when or how I learned that she is a devout Christian and the mother of two children.

But I can tell you that I have not exchanged email messages with any other pornstars whose porn videos I happen to like watching. Nor do I know if any other pornstars whose porn videos I like watching are devout Christians.

Yes, my 28,800-word 665th OEN article is wide-ranging and deeply personal in certain respects - including all the respects involving Mandy Flores. Nevertheless, I cannot explain to you why I happened to dwell on Mandy Flores at the time in March when I was writing my 28,800-word 665th OEN article and was without phone or internet service. However, I can tell that my wide-ranging and deeply personal 28,800-word 665th OEN article started out being about Fareed Zakaria and Ezra Klein's lengthy discussion of President Trump's topsy-turvy foreign policy in The New York Times. I did not start out to write a deep reflection about how American politics is downstream, figurative speaking, from American culture and the emergence of the ubiquitous mom-son porn videos available free on the internet in American culture for many years now - which became a focal point in my 28,800-word 665th OEN article as I wrote at length about Mandy Flores' many charming mom-son porn videos.

But enough about the backstory of my 28,800-word 665th OEN article. That much is history now. The story of my life going forward from my profound experience of writing extensively about Mandy Flores during the two weeks in March when I had no phone or internet service involved my own personal subjective experience. You see, through my experience of vividly and graphically writing about Mandy Flores' beautiful body and her charming mom-son porn videos during two weeks in March, I somehow connected her beautiful body with my own Mom's body when I was a baby suckling at her breasts. This connection that I felt with Mandy Flores's beautiful big (39") boobs and her eye-catching big nipples enabled me to experience the liberation of endogamous kinship libido in my psyche that was "married within" my psyche to my early childhood image of my own Mom's big boobs and her eye-catching big nipples - an interior personal and subjective process of liberation from endogamous kinship libido "married within" my psyche to my earl childhood image of my own Mom in my psyche that continues to unfold in my psyche to this day. Ah, but now I need to back up a bit and explain the terminology that I am here using to interpret my own recent personal and subjective experiences involving Mandy Flores and my own Mom.

I am here deliberately using that language about the liberation in the psyche of endogamous kinship libido that Ong uses in recounting Erich Neumann's Jungian account of the eight stages of consciousness in his grand synthesis of C. G. Jung's work titled The Origins and History of Consciousness, translated by R. F. C. Hull (1954; orig. German ed., 1949).

In Ong's 1971 book Rhetoric, Romance, and Technology: Studies in the Interaction of Expression and Culture (1971, pp. 10-11), he succinctly summarizes the Jungian Analyst Erich Neumann's Jungian account of the eight stages of consciousness in his book The Origins and History of Consciousness (1954; orig. German ed., 1949) as follows:

"The stages of psychic development as treated by Neumann are successively (1) the infantile undifferentiated self-contained whole symbolized by the uroboros (tail-eater), the serpent with its tail in its mouth, as well as by other circular or global mythological figures [including Nietzsche's imagery about the eternal return?], (2) the Great Mother (the impersonal womb from which each human infant, male or female, comes, the impersonal femininity which may swallow him [or her] up again), (3) the separation of the world parents (the principle of opposites, differentiation, possibility of change, (4) the birth of the hero (rise of masculinity and of the personalized ego) with its sequels in (5) the slaying of the mother (fight with the dragon: victory over primal creative but consuming femininity, chthonic forces), and (6) the slaying of the father (symbol of thwarting obstruction of individual achievement, [thwarting] what is new), (7) the freeing of the captive (liberation of the ego from endogamous [i.e., "married" within one's psyche] kinship libido and the emergence of the higher femininity, with woman now as person, anima-sister, related positively to ego consciousness), and finally (8) the transformation (new unity in self-conscious individualization, higher masculinity, expressed primordially in the Osiris myth but today entering new phases with heightened individualism [such as Nietzsche's overman] - or, more properly, personalism - of modern man [sic])" (Ong, 1971, pp. 10-11).
