masturbation just hurts my dick
wish sex was nice comfy process like a hug or a pleasant thought which arose and dispelled quietly instead it's this disruptive need to set everything aside aggressively and rush to get to a certain pleasure peak and the come down is worse

'The sadhana catustaya or fourfold discipline of Vedānta is clearly not one that any merely rational person can follow. It requires a radical change in the natural direction of consciousness, leading one to a dispassionate involvement with the things of the world. Advaita Vedānta is explicitly aristocratic in its contention that, practically speaking, truth or genuine knowledge is available only to the few who, by natural temperament and disposition, are willing and able to undertake all the arduous demands that its quest entails.' - Eliot Deutsch
