And I bet if you asked some guys to skip eating for a few days with sex in replacement, they would choose sex.
Same for heroin addicts. Obviously heroin addiction is physically worse with withdrawal but they would definitely choose heroin over food until obviously hunger would demand food.
Exactly my point. Hunger trumps heroin because hunger is a biological necessity and heroin is "an acquired taste." Also, going to rehab is another biological necessity (self-survival) because your desire to survive trumps your addiction. And then the other primitive urge "sleep" devours your heroin-crazed behavior and you find the peace in sleep that satisfies you on a much deeper level than than the heroin-frenzy madness. Secretly you are craving the peace of sleep and the temporary annihilation of the frantic excitement of drugs.
I am not a doctor -- you are correct but anybody who is not dead can observe his/her own behavior.
Your physical life (not spiritual life) is the absolute entanglement in the four primitive urges, food, sex, sleep and self-preservation.
Observe your day as a monger keeping these four primitive urges in mind (food, sex, sleep, self-survival)
You wake up from sleep. You might have an erection. You choose to whack-off if alone, give it to your bedmate or save it for your ATF, AMP or mystery girl of the day.
But first you must eat first, maybe only a banana.
Now, for instance you go to the AMP to satisfy sex because sleep and food was already satisfied (if you did not already cream on your bedmate) (and also provided that you don't have to go to work which is serious self-survival which trumps food, sleep, sex. If no work, no eat, no honey in bed and no place to sleep) You spot a new AMP to satisfy your sex urge but notice an unmarked white van in front of the AMP. Robert Kraft comes to mind. Now you are ill-at-ease. Self-survival is the strongest of the primitive urges. if You get caught by LE, big trouble, sex gets put on the back-burner. But you wasted a lot of time doing surveillance and worrying about the van, trips around the block, getting hungry, grab food.
Eventually you end up finding a safe place to do your dizzle, maybe one or two loads. Feel some exhaustion (if you are not hyped up on a substance, be it coffee, Viagra, herbs, anything other than a sandwich or the like) and then you sink into a soothing abyss of sleep, a nap, peace of sleep and freedom from sex, food and the worry of self-preservation."
You wake up. Check the stock market. (money is big time self-preservation. No money, no food to make semen, no $120 for the Asian chick) Realize you are hungry yet again and plan your next sexual adventure. Eventually, you go home, eat again and desire nothing more than that warm comfortable pillow, mattress and blanket to forget everything you craved all day, namely sex, food, self-preservation. Unless, you go to open the door of your home and see the lock was tinkered with and the door is open without your key. "SELF-PRESERVATION" arises and sleep, sex, food are meaningless and you muster up your will and strength to potentially fight or flight.
You don't have to be a doctor or psychiatrist to analyze your life. It is simply being aware of your habits which eventually could become addictions.
