THIS.
Primarily, most significantly and ultimately sex drives are biological, not psychological. You can feel no urge at all on the psychological level because you have suppressed your urges enough that you are no longer aware of them, but that's what repression is and it's not healthy. It means you're so pent up you're not even aware of it and your sexual frustration and stress expresses itself through other means besides sex.
I'm not sure why you guys are so eager to prove that something isn't real, when two people are describing their own experiences with it.
When I was young and pretty spiritual, I abstained, I trained my mind not to think about sex at all, and my body followed, surprisingly happily. I wasn't pent up, or frustrated, or whatever. I was just a non-sexual being, by choice.
I'm saying it is perfectly possible, and you guys keep finding new ways to say it's not. But I have direct experience of the possibility and you have. . . what, exactly? Just your ideas about it.
