It seems to me that you try and to figure out the meaning of social life (for yourself) and you have arrived at the conclusion that good sex is the ultimate purpose (—> why?) . You suggest that to get good sex one has to follow social codes of conduct ( —- seems to be a reasonable assumption). Then you suggest that acceptable social codes of conduct can be performed if repeating cues for oneself during social interaction/ performance —> this sounds like you are trying to figure out a model for yourself to function socially in order to get good sex.
If you think your socially successful behaviour that lead to good sex hinge on repeating cues for yourself when interacting socially you seem to have some personal problems with social interaction (I am guessing here as I don’t know the background to why you write this post).
From the youngest age - I very naively assumed that, when a man and a woman dated - they automatically had free reign over each others bodies. They had sex - the sex was good, and that was why they were in a relationship.
From a still young age - the more grim reality became apparent; security, companionship, co-dependence, conforming to societal norms and expectations; sometimes sex might not even be present - a situation I was not thrilled about, and certainly not willing to partake in.
I noticed with my adoption of this mindset - deviation from said societal norm - the nature of all my relationships seemed to change.
With family - friends etc.
I began to form friendships with different groups of people I hadn't previously done or even considered - and liaise with females socially, on a much more physical and fleeting level.
I also changed my lifestyle dramatically, the way I ate, the way I spent my time - the very nature of how thought.
I say this - by way of alluding to - what is in my mind, the fact - that our attitude to sex and sexuality is pre-eminently defining in terms of our overall disposition and nature our character.
If you have come to the conclusion that good sex is the purpose of social interaction that may be so for you. But there are plenty of people that socially interact without such purpose. People socially interact with plenty of people with whom they have no interest in having sex with. Family, friends, colleagues , course mates etc. There are people that are asexual or just have no particular inter at in sex. What about the elderly- many people lose their interest/need to have sex. Etc
No comment.
So when it comes to this you seem to have quite a Darwinistic idea about what human sexual nature is all about in the social. Perhaps that perspective fits your idea about the purpose of social life for you.
It is my contention that - the nature of our social conduct - is effectively an extrapolation of our sexual mindset.
Then you tie this to language cues - as a tool/help for your own (I assume) successful social conduct. I follow the idea that cues are of key importance in communication between people. Signalling messages to one another verbally (directly and indirectly) and no -verbally (gestures and body language).
Here's where it gets a little more complex.
Cultures - nature/nurture, subcultures - the family unit; what gives us definition; our religion, our beliefs. Previous trauma, neuronal wiring, sexual abuse and its profound cascade effect (again, pre-eminent definition of our sexual attitude).
The memory-related aspect of cues is also something you lift here above it seems. You do not reallg make a clear distinction between cues in relation to memory/memorising and cues for communication and successful interaction purposes. It is implied and I’m not sure if you have a clear idea about the different functions there. But there are different areas of research that deal with these things bar might be if interest for you to get into.
Both - they are memorized/learned and implications understood - and they directly affect our communication/interaction, our behavior, the way we think, perhaps most importantly - our emotional response, and the emotions we induce.
Our ability to be assertive without being nasty or unbecoming - by example.
I am not really sure about the scientific basis for the concept of NLP - Neurolinguistic programming But when mention sports I get to think of NLP. There are NLP sports coaches that coach athletes and part of that training is to develop cues to automatically trigger a physical /mental state that aims for top performance . It can be to trigger body memory by standing in a Certain posture. You can see that some athletes make sertein movements sometimes before performance. It is very possible that those have been “programmed” through NLP coaching. The NLP coaching literature is packed with info about this, but NLP as a scientific field - not sure about that. Psycho-linguistics is probably area that ties in with his and there is research on how cues affects memory and learning in infants . You may get further ideas there.
NLP/psycholinguistics - yeah - I don't want to overly jargonize things; that sounds very complex and intellectual but - I prefer to simply describe the process as, the use of cues.
The first cues I ever used were in athletic/sport areas - and I had never heard of anyone using cues previously.
I just found them highly effective - as you describe.
I continue to use and develop cues for athletic activities - to high effect.
When it comes to actors I think if communication cues where one actor signals to another to do something - that is verbal and non-verbal cues. Here is also linguistics and overlap with social science research. Communication studies get in on this. You can also get into theatre - plenty of litt on theatrical practices.
Here - you seem to be referring to a different type of cue; like, I don't know - pull on your ear to signal.
That's not what I'm referring to at all.
When I say "cue", I refer exclusively to words repeated to oneself - that may affect what you're referring to - outward "cues"; like eye contact, body language etc.
In effect - we control the outward cues, via inward cues.
I’m not sure about your issue but I guess you struggle with social interactiob and try to find a way to manage.
Again - we can't really boil it down to one simple line.
The aim, the purpose - is, social and sexual competency.
The ability to reliably induce high emotion, and sexual gratification in a sexual partner - via inwardly applied cues, affecting outward cues (and everything else - refer back to pre-eminent definition).
And more ultimately - establish a greater sense of autonomy - less reliance on cliques, cultures, groups - more social competence, etc..... the pattern should be evident.
