Would you do it?

I imagine a lot of people would. Those who wish only to work without distractions. Those brokenhearts. Etc etc. All kind of stories. What do you think?

No, because I enjoy these

Please explain with pictures.  I'm not sure I believe you.

I Mean look at that Michael chick in STD (lol), she was raised a Vulcan and started an intergalactic war.

Yeah. Vulcan level willpower which we don't have so we definitely don't want Pon Farr pronto. Nor do we want STD (LOL!) and yes I am a massive pedant.

Then again maybe the desire isn't as deep as I think and is part of a desire to be "normal."

Companionship is what I need most. The sex part is irrelevant. I'm just so sick of being on my own. I remember walking around with Sam, with our hands in each other's back pocket.

Fuck, I hate my life.

Tell me this isn't true.

Tell me.

You won't tell me because you're an honest man. I am also an honest man.

That is all.

I have been happy. I know what it is to have been happy. I know it can never be again.

Pretty much the same here. But I have no good memories, only memories of failing to get relationships. So I'm not hurt by lack of something I used to have, but by being fucking pathetic my whole life.

Well I mean of course I'd like to have sex. But the main thing is someone to share my life and thoughts with. If I were chemically castrated or whatever I think I'd still want that.

I wish they'd first look for a way of getting rid of my desire for junk food.
I'd probably get more sex if that could be achieved.
