Would you get rid of your sexual desire if you could?

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?

Yes and no.

I look back at what my hormones did to me as a teen and in my early 20s. No, I would not want to go back to that.

But I certainly like my sexuality and plumbing. 

Been through the dating, been through the rejection, been through marriage, and divorce. I don't think it is wise to ignore your body or desires. I would say that it is extremely important to know how your body works and have good communications with whomever you have relationships with. 

If you think sex is a distraction, I'd say it isn't the sex itself, but at this point in your life you simply want to focus on your goals, and that is fine. But I wouldn't do anything drastic to your body that you cant reverse. No different than tattoos. I wouldn't say no, but you better be damned sure because some decisions cant be reversed.
