You are entombed in the flesh my guy, there's no escaping it. You should learn to accept that most of your desires are artificial and created by the structure of society, that you are a small part of the world and the things you want are carrots to your stick. I'm not going to lie, you will never stop wanting women or corporeal objects, but at the very least you can learn to stop letting yourself be driven by what you interpret the world wanting you to do.

>Do not be virtuous beyond your strength! And do not desire anything of yourselves against probability. Walk in the footprints where your fathers' virtue walked before you. How would you climb high if your fathers' will does not climb with you? But whoever would be a firstling should beware lest he also become a lastling. And wherever the vices of your fathers are, there you should not want to represent saints. If your fathers consorted with women, strong wines, and wild boars, what would it be if you wanted chastity of yourself? It would be folly! Verily, it seems much to me if such a man is the husband of one or two or three women. And if he founded monasteries and wrote over the door, "The way to sainthood," I should yet say, What for? It is another folly. He founded a reformatory and refuge for himself: may it do him good! But I do not believe in it. In solitude, whatever one has brought into it grows—also the inner beast. Therefore solitude is inadvisable for many. Has there been anything filthier on earth so far than desert saints? Around them not only was the devil loose, but also the swine.

Realize you are living in a blessed interlude of easily accessible and nearly universal prostitution, in the middle of an otherwise apocalyptic civilizational downslide. It's still the kali yuga, but at least you can get laid, because nearly every 18-23 year old college roastie is now looking for a sugar daddy and willing to let you feel her up for some shitty weed.

The current crop of women is about to be far more miserable than the incels ever were. At least the incels have hobbies. Millions of women are already transitioning into permanent cat lady mode. After a few decades of cognitive dissonance at most, they'll flip to being ultra-conservative and wanting traditional femininity back, especially as they get jealous of a younger generation of women taking their turn at the lifestyle they briefly got to enjoy but now have to watch from afar.

So before that happens, take advantage. There are millions of desperate roasties who just hit the wall but still look decent. They're looking for a man to settle for. Their pussy's beat up, so you don't want to get trapped with that, but you can still sleep with them. Can't even manage that? No problem, just set aside enough money every month to pay for a sugar baby. Women are retarded so you can easily fuck them around with the money and jew them out of a good deal.

You are supposed not to fight fleshly temptations but realise them as God's gift to you, just like everything you own and everything you are is God's gift to you. That way you are to think of God even at the peak of your carnal desires. If you do forget God in your carnal desires, however, then they do become a temptation, just as everything you own and everything you are becomes a temptation when, and as far as, you forget about God who gifted it to you.

Men have higher sex drives than women. It's literally scientifically proven that they crave sex more than women. Also, psychologically, in our overly competitive society women being the choosier of the two sexes choose only the best males so men end up never asked out and the women asked out too often with normal human psychology. That leads to meek men being alienated. Most are beta males, only the alpha male gets the pussy.

How is there a soul when "I" am a misnomer, a construction of the mind built by vastly oversimplifying the extremely complex biological mechanisms which make up the body, which does not actually have a moment of birth and death in time since energy is merely transforming over time?
