If I'm working on something interesting, something of real tangible value, it's very easy to tune out everything--noise, headache, hunger, hornyness. When I'm grinding out corporate stuff to pay the bills, it's another story. I think our impulses are bursting with wisdom. If the work loses out to the sex drive, how meaningful was the work in the first place?

If sex hasn't taken over pretty much everything else in the list of priorities, it just means that you haven't gotten horny enough. 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.

  > sex-drive is just an insanely powerful force 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?

    >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).
