But only because I can't find anyone to share it with.... and the amount of times I have to share it with myself is such a gigantic time suck that I barely have time to do any daily chores or even get out much. I'd be 10000000000% more productive if I wasn't quite literally a massive wanker.

If I could find someone to share my sex drive with and actually have a sex life, or even a girlfriend, then there is NO WAY IN A MILLION YEARS I'd get rid of my sexual desire.

Nope.


They indeed can.

I know that feel. I spend too much time fapping. I have made it an art.

Some of the pretty 'paint' I see on some women in some videos... is more visually pleasing to me than any art.

Yes.

Sexual desire is nothing more than a hard-wired imposition of the selfish gene to compel one to reproduce. It chains and enslaves the intellect. It has its rewards but it is far more trouble than it's worth. Age does take the edge off the monster's teeth but I'd love a button I could push which would knock those teeth out entirely.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

1)  Reproducing feels really good.
2)  The purpose of intellect is to achieve sex.

No, I wouldn't. I like my sexual desire, and I can keep it under controll. I don't necesarilly need to mate in order to please myself sexually.

And the purpose of sex is to reproduce.

And reproduction has no purpose.

Therefore the intellect has no purpose.

So... Vulcans are rapists?

WTF.

I'm guessing they're not. (I mean, for starters, they're not real).

But in the real world... if any creature really did die if they didn't reproduce within a few years... I'm pretty sure they would have evolved so that their sex drive would be so strong that it would require more than human level willpoer to stop them being super duper rapey.

Yeah, Vulcan level willpower. Something that, even in a fictional sense, no human will ever achieve.

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