What most people don't realize is how awfully strong the sex drive is and can get given time... since they never let it get to that point.
And I'm saying this after 6weeks of complete abstinence.
It's utterly distracting and frustrating, making it extremely hard to focus and get any work done.
Rubbed one out and I can finally focus again and do some quality programming work.
Should have rubbed one out way sooner than that. The amount of actual work I've missed out due to this is not negligible.
There a whole wide spectrum between "I'm kind of horny", "I think i'm pretty darn horny" and actually full-blast horny.
In due time, sex will move up to no1 spot in the list of priorities.
And if doesn't, then you're either old (or getting there) or perhaps never had a particularly strong sex-drive to begin with.
Sex-drive is just an insanely powerful force in men, most men have experienced but only a small sliver of how powerful it can get, since they never let it get there, because porn is always there and easily accessible, and you can just rub one out without porn too.
So is hunger. So is survival. I don't think you understand what I have written. If your instincts are putting sex at the top of the list, maybe it's time to have sex, with a real person, instead of muting your instincts with soma so you can earn more fiats?
I actually love programming, and when I was refering to "programming work" I was specifically refering to my hobby projects.
> So is hunger. So is survival.
Unlike sex-drive, hunger and survival is very much aligned with what I want. I have to eat so I can keep doing things that I love (programming, creating music, etc)
While sex-drive is a hardwired instinct to procreate and have children - which is very much polar-opposite of my best self interests.
More over I do NOT want to have sex with any of my EXes or bar slobs or hiring prostututes. It just seems "like a good idea" under an altered state of mind. No thank you, very much.
I'm not my body.
And I'm not even my mind half of the time (especially when overloaded with the horny hormones).
However, being in that really horny frame of mind, you really dont want to jerk off at all, or even watch porn frankly - that is not what you want at all. You want to fuck a woman in the most direct-est animalistic raw kind of way.
I wouldn't have rubbed one out without porn, it wouldn't have happened.
Instead you do stupid shit, like start texting all your EX-es, or going on dates with woman you don't really even like or consider booking a prostitutes and all sorts of fucked up stuff...
Being horny, really horny is a trip, an altered state of mind is what i'm going to say.
Porn very effectively brings you back to earth and disables biological imperatives in a quick and enjoyable way (hell, it's not even particularly enjoyable after an extended long abstinence, since it's is waaay to intense).
Porn is definitely easy to abuse for some people, but it doesn't mean it's all bad, it is extremely useful tool.
