Trying to cope with my longterm gf of 5 years who recently developed alcoholism at 26. She had two 1+ month benders this year, and goes on antabuse once she is sober.

It is really hard and we are fighting 50x more (every other day). She sees a therapist and psychiatrist weekly, and her family is like 50% alcoholics.

I am really scared and want the future to be okay.

I'm currently working on a Lord of the Rings knockoff romance story about a young knight who teams up with a tsundere, tomboy princess to stop an evil spirit from taking over the world. He's always had the hots for her, but she constantly degrades/insults him to disguise her attraction. The two gradually form an effective partnership and grow to truly care for one another. The story ends with the evil defeated and the knight severely injured. The princess tearfully confesses her feelings for him and the two get together. I've found that fantasyy considerably more difficult to write compared to science fiction.

I'm also putting the finishing touches on a 12k word sci-fi romance story. I just love writing and reading cheesy, lighthearted romance. It's one of life's true joys.

An alien

Its very tall, standing at almost 8 to 9 feet, and has pale skin, that is almost kinda blue looking. It has hind legs and long arms. It's incredibly thin to the point you can see most of its bones.
It has a large around head with no hair and pure black eyes with two little curled horns on it. They have a very small mouth filled with hundreds of tiny, razor sharp teeth. On its back are a large pair of bird like wings.

They are incredibly frail but their intelligence far exceeds that of the average human and they have low level psionic abilities, and are very fond of small animals.

I'm from Syria, and man, if there ever was a shithole it's this country. You look at people's faces and you see nothing but vulgarity. Everyone is a brute or a tyrant in the making. The bureaucracy is stifling and omnipresent. The draft is the shadow hunting everyone's mind and threatening to fuck their lives up. Seven or eight years of service in what had degenerated into a grouping of militias living off looting and brigandry. No hopes for a good education or a job you might enjoy, and the only way to make money is to have someone send some your way from Germany. The news is an endless deluge of women raped to death, men with kidneys beaten into failure, high school children picked off checkpoints for no reason whatsoever, and elderly men arrested while collecting their paychecks by the same government for whose sake their children died.

I have literally nothing left in my life that I actually care about. My friends have moved on and I barely see them anymore. My short-lived romance is dead. I'm not inclined to continue my education into grad school since modern academia is such a shitshow. My job (software dev) is a meme and requires around an hour of work a day, and it can be done remotely so I don't even have a reason to leave my house. I'm successful on the surface but underneath I'm just a lazy, lonely, aimless degenerate who will never live up to whatever potential he may have once had.

Her compulsions used to be work and school, she has become extremely disillusioned with work and unable to cope with our line of work.

>how much has she drank in her past?
Very little, in college we drank on weekends for parties, and I drank more than her significantly. We were essentially sober 23-25 (1/month, no binging), and we are the same age. I stopped drinking completely since this happened.

>how much have you ever talked of marriage
We both want to get married 28-29

>anything happen in life recently to compel her?
Struggling at work, her divorced alcoholic mom is crumbling in her mid 60s due to alcohol abuse (her real age is 80+) and her healthy, great remarried dad is suffering from kidney problems and somehow beat cancer 3 times. He is probably going on dialysis in ~2 years. She is extremely unhappy about aging, and is more depressed than I have ever seen her.

I have OCD and it’s “latched itself” on to my struggle with porn addiction. I spend almost every waking minute of every day lost in these thought loops. I feel extreme guilt at all times because I’ve ashamedly watched porn that revolved around the degradation and manipulation of women, everything from shakey-cam videos titled “real” incest to videos involving animals and possible coercion. I haven’t felt positive emotion for a long time, and it’s ruining my life. My self-confidence is nonexistant and I feel absolutely unredeemable, like those stupid videos are somehow representative of my personal convictions. I can hardly even find refuge in books anymore. The only reason I don’t kill myself is because of the responsibilities and relationships I have to maintain, and out of fear from the afterlife, which is in and of itself a borderline obsession.

Don't quote me on this, because I don't remember which book I read this from and I don't care enough to look for it, but, some native american tribes didn't do any farming, they obtained their sustenance by adapting their lifestyle to the natural rhythms of production of the local flora and fauna, living in an ez mode hunter/gatherer sociey where they just quite literally took the shit the planet provided them with. When European colonizers appeared, they thought that these guys were lazy fuckers and started conquering shit and doing their gay ass farming, proud of their hard work they started shaming the native lifestyle and ruined everything for everyone. Humanity as a whole didn't ruin America, in fact, the native people were doing a decent job of not destroying the land,it was the European fucks with their abrahamic religions and their African slaves that fucked the land and have kept doing so for centuries, expanding their bullshit everywhere.

I feel like this will be me before very long, ie the next year or two, and it terrifies me to death.

The only thing I can say is, if you feel lazy lonely and aimless it's precisely because you're isolated (or at least feel that you are). I find myself much more motivated to do something if there are people around me either doing that same thing or encouraging me to do so. There are not many people in this world who can drive themselves to do things while alone, that's why their success stories are flaunted so much, because it's so rare.

And how do you find people to support you? Christ knows, I get lucky every so often. I can't find them when I want to. 4chan has been a pretty consistent source, though. Go to /lit/ meet ups, look on zeemaps, even fuckin omegle. Or the usual, go out to some hub of cultural activity and try to strike up conversations there.

I just had this awful experience trying to initiate a relationship with a girl via text message which has led me to the conclusion to never try that again, ever.

What really drew my attention was at the end, when she finally stopped being a coward and outright rejected me, was that she used this emoji of this hideous, hairy demon with the implication, of course being that was what I was. Now, a little bit of backstory about me: I'm the fucking Moshiach Ben Yoseph. I understand that I sound crazy claiming to be some modern age biblical prophet on an anime imageboard, but everything seems to be pointing in that direction and I look the part too. Seriously, when I haven't shaven I look like your archetypal "Old Hebrew." For example, I've achieved gnosis. Then, a couple months later, God made a covenant with me in the wilderness, telling me that he will shortly destroy the earth, and that I was destined to live out the story of Noah, "present the treasure to the king," (become a mystical bookseller in the future provisional capital of the United States: Detroit, MI), and that, furthermore, I would help rebuild the temple in Jerusalem (dedicated to Lucifer, the daemon of mankind). Along with that, I've had instances where I've had to act out quintessentially biblical stories such as when I had to banish the devil from my house (his name was symmetrical, he was red, had horns, and wore a hood).

Anyways, when this bitch sent me the final snap, my first thought upon seeing this monstrous emoji was, "So I'm a beast am I, THEN A BEAST I SHALL BE!" Something clicked, and I realized that me, being a biblical prophet, am not permitted to have a mundane love life, but that I must enact the fairy tale of "The Beauty and the Beast." Like, when I've established myself in the caves of Hart Plaza, someday a beautiful girl will beg me for food, shelter and all that good stuff, but that I must enslave her, torment her, shave her head, only allow her to wear sackcloth, rename her "Gash" and basically make her my captive. She will be materially well off and I won't sexually abuse her, but the only person she will be freely able to talk to will be my brother (named Jonah, which fittingly means "Dove" in Hebrew) and her only respite will be that she will be able to read the books in my library. I will keep this up until she realizes I'm a "prince." Thinking about this, I was weeping inconsolably at the thought of having to so torture the woman I love and my imminent tragic death at the hands of some white-knight Gaston motherfucker thinking he's saving the day. It's like if you learned the exact time, place, and situation of your death and knowing you have no ability to stop it.

weird nap last night stayed up till 5 then woke up at 8, tired all day and took too much caffiene so now I'm simultaneously jittery and exhausted

read catholic stuff and it felt real guilty when I subsequently masturbated to horrible porn. I almost feel like at this point I feel I have some ethical duty to continue to do evil. I know that sounds edgy, I don't consciously think that I have such a duty (that would be insane), but I feel it when I'm whacking. I can sense sometimes that normal hetero stuff would be infinitely more pleasurable and even metaphysically truthful.

Lately I've been having this sort of melancholy self-absorbed idea that because I had some seizures as a child... that that symbolized a crack in my soul, through which, from time to time, celestial lights shine. Ever since I was a child I expressed that feeling by saying that my subconscious, my unconscious, was much smarter than I am. and I truly believe that, from time to time, a beautiful muse visits me and passes me notes (usually when I'm on high amounts of caffeine).

By reading theology I have the bitter feeling that I am cheating and making myself hurt more than I have to. I should just listen to the advice of a friend and go to church instead of wear out my energy running around these metaphysical circles.

I think that most of philosophy is established on things that you really understand and feel. So reading theology when I don't understand or feel anything is just fucking me up, and I should stop. Last time I complained about stuff like this in one of these threads everyone criticized me and called me vain and self absorbed and self obsessed. And I can take all that on, as long as you're direct and frank with your criticism. Just give me some steps to a solution and don't pretend that you yourself are some wise sage who can look on me with an indomitable granite expression

In class today discussion of Plato's Republic books 8-9, or 7-8, I don't remember. The idea of the democratic man and the tyrannical man shook me. I'd known a little about his theory of political degeneration before, but I had no idea that there were psychological profiles that went in such depth. The description of the democratic man as a guy who waters all of his passions and is just listlessly blown around everywhere by the wind—that shook me, because it was so true to my existence. I'm sure almost all of you feel the same. We have no discipline... I don't say "we" to tug you down to my level, but because I truly believe that the amount of discipline people have these days is extremely low relative to the past. So many of you young men get into stoicism or whatever as a remedy for that, merely because you are aesthetically attracted to stern-sounding words like "discipline" and even "stoic" and the pleasant images that they conjure in your minds. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe you can think and reason independent of pleasant pictures... but frankly, I doubt it.

Why, may I ask, did you elect to become a muslim, rather than a Christian?

This just occured to me (I just remembered it)—I once heard some weird insight that the agency in the soul that obsessively denigrates sex is the same that obsessively pursues it.

This is not to cede the dumb secular point that "you can't deny any impulse or it will just become stronger"—that's obviously sickeningly bullshit. But instead I think that someone who excoriates and morbidly focusses on avoiding certain passions... this obsession is the mirror of those passions themselves. Feeding the passions feeds the hatred of them, and vice versa. Hatred is a closer friend to love then apathy, etc.

Therefore the solution to both of these problems is to acknowledge sexuality as sort of a lowly, embarrassing, mildly comical thing. Neither the treasury of heavenly delights nor the dwelling place of eternal filth... worthy to be set aside because it is lower than true joy

I've been thinking of giving up writing as a pursuit. What I write is inferior to what I think and I cannot envision myself ever writing something equal to or beyond what I think. Even if I were to somehow rival the greats in ability, I believe it still would not be enough. In fact, such skill might just make the gap between the two all that more apparent. This is not to say my thoughts are somehow so much superior to those of other writers, but that I believe that reading, watching, experiencing, is much more stimulating to me that the actual act and product of my own writing. If I look in myself, I see that my desire to write is more to prove my own worth, both to myself and others. Its some means of justifying my existence, to put me above my peers, to insulate my own ego and call myself better.

Anyone ever read something on this feeling? Ought I just give it up? The only ethical reason I can find for continuing is that, if you enjoy something, you should try to contribute to it as well.

I was a Muslim, I think, primarily because it was the faith I was brought up in. And reading the great minds of this tradition as a teenager made me fall in love with it and my breaking up with the faith that much more painful.

What I, right now, have a problem with in the Islamic tradition is how it normalizes sexual impulse by seeing marriage, for example, as a contract to use each others bodies, kinda in a proto-Kantian manner. So if marriage is the agreement to use one anothers bodies for sexual pleasure, and rape means non-consensual sex, rape in wedlock cannot be rape.

Sex, however, is inherently evil. It is a form of being together than requires a smooth oneness in order to sustain the fantasy (like how Aristotle views tragedy, having one place, one time, one plot to which all disparate elements contribute). Irl, though, it is anything but. It has hiccups and awkward stumbles, and questions (i.e. do you mind if i slip my finger up your ass) detract from that fantastic (or phantasmagoric) side.

I don't normally post in these threads but I don't know man. I think the issue of sex is weird - and personal experiences, as well as the times we are living in makes me think about it a lot. I feel torn between my traditionalist (i.e. reactionary mystical monarchism) upbringing and radical 'leftist' tendencies. I think Zizek's latest about Peterson and enforced monogamy is a good one because it touches on my worries about the sexual contract. He does miss out on some substance too, I feel but yeah.

Besides sex though, what you are saying about the duty to sin, or to stop obsessively avoiding sin, reminds me of this letter by Luther (next post):

>>11510171
>Whenever this temptation of melancholy comes to you, beware not to dispute with the devil nor allow yourself to dwell on these lethal thoughts, for so doing is nothing less than giving place to the devil and so falling.

>Try as hard as you can to despise these thoughts sent by Satan. In this sort of temptation and battle, contempt is the easiest road to victory; laugh your enemy to scorn and ask to whom you are talking. By all means flee solitude, for he lies in wait most for those alone. This devil is conquered by despising and mocking him, not by resisting and arguing. Therefore, Jerome, joke and play games with my wife and others, in which way you will drive out your diabolic thoughts and take courage.

>Be strong and cheerful and cast out those monstrous thoughts. Whenever the devil harasses you thus, seek the company of men, or drink more, or joke and talk nonsense, or do some other merry thing. Sometimes we must drink more, sport, recreate ourselves, aye, and even sin a little to spite the devil, so that we leave him no place for troubling our consciences with trifles. We are conquered if we try too conscientiously not to sin at all. So when the devil says to you, “Do not drink,” answer him, “I will drink, and right freely, just because you tell me not to.” One must always do what Satan forbids. What other cause do you think that I have for drinking so much strong drink, talking so freely and making merry so often, except that I wish to mock and harass the devil who is wont to mock and harass me. Would that I could contrive some great sin to spite the devil, that he might understand that I would not even then acknowledge it and that I was conscious of no sin whatever. We, whom the devil thus seeks to annoy, should remove the whole Decalogue from our hearts and minds.

I'm sorry to hear that you think the human nature is an illness. I'm sorry you can't see it. Saying it's an illness is the same reason that those people seek medications and get dependent on them. I guess that having a medical background makes me have a completely different vision of it. You might want to look into some medical anthropology to understand what an "illness" means and all the shit it entails, specially when talking about the mind. You might also want to look into general anthropology and history to see how our society has lost all its mythology and has to create all these mockups to cope with the loss. It has to create things like depression as an "illness" to explain shit that never needed any explanation. Not to mention the mega corporations behind farmaceutics and medical investigation. Same goes with ADD and all that.
People need to understand depression as an illness only because they can't make sense of it any other way due to the pitiful sociocultural conditions of our society. And that same society needs to push that definition up your ass so it can preserve itself.
I won't even go on the whole anti-psychiatry discourse because I know you are not ready for it.
Will you say that the ascetics I mentioned are ill because they want to die? You haven't given any solid arguments about why all this is an illness whatsoever.
tl;dr depression is a spook

I think one solution to your dilemma is to see writing as a form of play. I think that we often take writing too seriously. As a consequence, we get creatively blocked, which creates angst.

From what you're saying it seems like you have great ambitions for your writing. I think that, ironically, these are getting in the way of you writing good stuff. I think that the impulse of delight which first led you to creative thought is what you should try to return to; I imagine it probably preceded all these concerns about greatness and eternity, which have latched onto that initial impulse and are parasitizing it and disabling it.

Just speculation, but I think that that's how it is with me.

that holiest moment

once in a lifetime
yet forever preserved

I want to own the collected papers of Charles Sanders Peirce in print because reading the PDFs are hell and it's the kind of thing that I fill with annotations.
Each vol costs $300 USD and it's $1000 dollars for the set. I could probably get a plane ticket to Suriname for that price. I really like the work and I could justify buying one volume at a time and it would really help me as a scientist. Then again it's not like I get paid to research Peirce or anything, I'm not even an academic or a college grad. I have alot of good ideas that are Peirce influenced and I am torn between either commiting myself to doing that and life science or commiting myself to cynically making a ton of money so I can buy land and save my home and potentially fund all my own research. I think it's a gamble either way but I need to choose to go all out one way or the other. I'm very intellectually inclined and know alot for how old I am, I have all kinds of questions I want to answer but I'm so disgusted by acedemia. I think I might have a better chance being a capitalist. Which wouldn't be hard as I'm posed to take over a small business in an area flush 'devolpment' and fluid capital.

The room is humid and I am half naked. I have to sleep in the guest room because our temporary cat "Alice" likes to rub against my face and arms while I lay in bed. If I try to read she steps on the pages with a sort of nonchalant triumph. I am likely just projecting the triumphant aspect though, I'm sure she plainly doesn't care. I did read once that all cats are royalty by nature. Mani, the cat from The Knight said that. I'd never seen a more cat-like cat in anything before; Wolfe really captures the feline essence.

My skin is getting sticky and I'm thinking about masturbating even though I just had sex. I prefer masturbating and I think that is common with men and probably women too. Or maybe that's also a projection.

With fear of sounding ironic, I have a slight complaint. I am perturbed slightly that to trust someone in the intimate experience of watching together a film that should personally mean something to us, only to have her not even remotely giving a fuck and using it as a pretext for hooking up. I hate the modern disconnect form artistic virtues, how we are reaching Huxley-esque era of biological necessities of a deeper, more meaningful experience of being and it makes me want to bomb someone (hypothetically). Christ please allow me to forget the time a girlfriend managed to coax me into discussing poetry with her as a means to send me her inhumane filth. After begging and begging from her I finally send her my “favorite” poem (in reality it was just one I remembered well, from lunch poems by o’hara) to which she quickly told me she didn’t get it and described to me how it could have been better. She revealed the entire conversations true purpose was, in reality, to send me her thrown-up-alphabet-soup poem titled “goodbye” in which she just kept writing teenage girl shit like “goodbye to the ones who weren’t there for me, goodbye to the ones who abandoned me” over and fucking over like jesus Christ if you don’t apologize for making me read that then goodbye to your fucking life holy shit. In reality, I managed to reply “wow that’s really good” because I wanted to fuck her more than the amount I hated her at that moment. She replied with some emoji so I opted to go to bed. That night I dreamed of being a Ugandan blood diamond warlord, and i can no longer speak to a woman without remembering the fear in the eyes of the children slave soldiers in that dream

Some native american tribes clearly controlled the land. I believe the Great Plains only came about because of controlled burning on the humans' part that, well, obviously went out of control.

Not to say that they have done the same or worse damage than industrial society has on the planet, just that this whole myth about hunter gatherers being protectors and guardians of nature doesn't hold any merit when we talk about any tribes or societies with sizeable populations

Cats literally control you through toxoplasmosis. That's why you prefer to sleep in another room rather than your own instead of just keeping the cat outside of it. I mean, what the fuck, it's a cat, it doesn't have any of the traits you are projecting on it. It can't 'not care' either it's just a fucking cat.
I don't have anything against cat to be honest but I don't have anything for them either.

Dear FBI,
My life sucks, since my last gf (which was raped and had daddy issues) my dick went limp and i don't give a fuck about fucking anymore. Just want to live a lonely life in a corner of society doing something that i can at least do for the next 60 years. The only problem is that, since i don't fuck i go a lot to the gym, practice bjj three times a week and have a healthy diet, and by consquence i must be attractive since there are a lot of bitches trying to start a conversation with me (all crazy, with crazy families) and my friends, people who started their relationships at 15 years old, are judging me as a weird guy while they see me pass the chance of shagging bitches wildly. I guess my problem is that my dream was to marry with a perfect girl, live in a perfect family (with my parents being healthy and happy beings) and had a job that made sense. Instead my father is an alcoholic, my mother is bipolar that refuses to treat her disease and I am a creepy little turd that thought that life was easier.

So, recently, I've thought about creating a folder with pictures of aesthetically pleased women. All clean, no NSWF. We're all cultured people in here, right my dear Anon?

Now, let's be completely honest, there is very little to like about man's physique. The only thing one can make reference to is practical use of the body, and since we only wear clothes in public (remember, we're all cultured around here), athletic physique may not be fully visible. Hence, it has mostly the psychological purpose for the one who has such physique, and indeed is worth pursuing for personal reasons.

The female body, however, is essentially for display. Well, at least females like to display it. The features of a female body are much more fitting for aesthetic purposes, and every cultured Anon should therefore collect large amounts of photographic materials.

You know how every generation makes its own genre or variation of previous genres?
The current generation's musical development is trap. You can't deny it. It's the only new genre that has popped up. Everything else is a revival of old genres (see stoner rock, shoegaze, various pop subgenres).
It's our duty to be acquainted with the only original movement of our generation. Even if you don't like it you can't detach yourself from it. This is why I've been listening to it recently and it's actually not as bad as you'd think.
Chads who only listen to this stuff are not uncultured if you yourself don't listen to it. You are just as uncultured as him if you don't know the current popular genre. Everyone knows this and in their own time they knew and followed the scene of their generation's original musical development.

I used to be more tolerant of the pol crossposters because I'm kind of sympathetic to their politics and find it amusing when they piss off lefties, who I am glad no longer infest this board like they did in 2012. But it's apparent that these pol retards are exactly that, retards, clowns, buffoons, good for a cheap laugh here and there, but illiterate apes who are too dumb and lazy to read about their own politics much less discuss them at a level beyond what they learned in their American high school english classes

I can't go back to normal society. Everyone thinks your weird. LOL they don't actually noone thinks about you. You don't register in their thoughts. Why would they? Why would anyone care about someone who threw a shitty tantrum and "dropped out of society" to prove a point. Well the point is proven noone cares.

Now you're stuck having to justify your life choices. The luxary of chosing what clothes you get to wear is running thin. If you cant do anything meaningful with this abundance of time that you are going to die a pointless meaningless existence. You will have to live with the fact that nothing you have done will matter and you will die like George Bell alone, fat and miserable with diabeetus.

Its been 3 days. You haven't talked to anyone. You know that this is abnormal. You know that friend you are seeing in two weeks? She is going to think you are fucking weird because you forgot normal conversational hygiene. Stop chasing windmills, go back to work. There is no crusade here. You lost most of your money investing and your shitty business idea isn't going anywhere. Its been 5 months there is no glamor in this. Be a good little sycophant go suck up to a boss somewhere raise a mediocre family, have shit conversation, talk to people you find annoying, hate yourself for not enjoying things. You don't get rich. You are doomed to middle class monotony forever.
That dream you have of buying a bar in a third country is bullshit. You don't have the balls to do it and you'd probably fuck it up. Do you really think you can just sit and write and drink all day? thats not how it works. You would be miserable and sick most of the time.

You're not funny. Noone reads your blog. Your writing style is obonxious. And here you are. Its mid day. You should be working on your business or being creative. But instead your shitposting your one shot away. On fucking 4chan.

The air conditioner was running but it was still hot, and I wanted to touch her but she kept shooing me away. My feet were sweaty. She kept going. She would sob and sob and sob while I stared at the ground; tracing over grain in the wood I'd think about nothing. Every once in a while i'd see her pale, genteel hand reach out for another tissue -- I wondered why my dad had left at such a young age. The question kept repeating over. Why would he wait until I could remember his face?
More questions came about, eventually. Meredith buried her face in a pillow.

I wonder if he foresaw it all. Maybe he was repulsed. Maybe mom got to be a drag with her problems. Either way I was borne: a crooked sapling arching out of a mudball. And here I sit now, on a tender sofa: nesting to my sickly little sweetbay.

Seriously? That sounds like a child's response: "no ur the one who is assuming".

>Once
Implies that there will come a time were we will INEVITABLY reach transhumanism. How is that NOT and assumption?
>we
Who is we? If we, for the sake of this argument, accept that transhumanism is the obvious conclusion of humanity, it will not come when you are alive. It's stupid to say that you are included if you are actually not included.
>limitless transhumanism
Now this is just plain science fiction. Clearley not an assumption, right? (that was sarcasm *wink* *wink*)

You aren't discussing anything but semantics. You're just dismissing my questions on a basis which you yourself constructed because you don't want to answer questions that are hypothetical and not grounded in reality (according to your perspective). My questions are somehow irrelevant to something (which you did not actually explain) because they were founded on my own assumption, and so you argued about this assumption which offended you for whatever reason rather than answer or simply ignore the hypothetical questions themselves.

Yeah I did read that and you're retarded for thinking that. Not every question posed has to be entirely relevant to what occurs now.

Yeah, we could say that. Hypothesizing is still a waste of time though, unless the situations are close enough to reality. In this case, they are not.

Cry me a river. Having to read your foul posts is much more of a needless insult.

But yeah what you're arguing about is what's irrelevant. Like responding to the questions posed by the concept of the pleasure machine by debating the possibility of such a thing being able to exist. Why do you even hate hypothetical questions so much? Did one kill your parents or something?
Your assertion that my hypothesizing is a waste of time is really meaningless since the questions were obviously about the ethical and moral concerns that could arise from such a scenario which easily relate back to our own beliefs in ethics and morality both today and across history.

So it's not a waste of time to discuss the ethical and moral implications of the possibility that we were elephants instead of humans? If you want to make a political statement using absurdity as your mean, then I can agree with you.

>Also why do you say I'm not willing to involve myself in discussion when I'm still responding to your (inane) posts?
Because you are constantly saying you don't want to keep repĺying. You are obviously replying only to have the last word on this and get the impression that you "won" or something.
I mean, if you have to resort to name calling to continue you arguments then I truly don't know what to think of you. Reading back I notice that you started name calling since your first reply, with an obvious butthurt tone. But enough of the personal talk. I guess it was my fault for not seeing through that.

I went in to get a physical last summer. The nurse asked me questions about drug use. Drinking. I proudly say that I don't do drugs, and I'm not lying when I do. She asks about my drinking. I tell her that two times a week I will drink around six beers, while doing research, or studying. To pass time. In reality I drink eight beers, because the quantity is 4 ounces above the standard quantity, per each. so each drink is actually 1.3333 (etc) drinks. 16 per week. I don't explain this. She tells me that the quantity of alcohol consumption to be at risk for dependency is 15+. She asks me about whether I have suicidal thoughts. I tell her I don't. Although I made a promise after breaking up with my last girlfriend that I was going to kill myself if I didn't have sex within two years.

I haven't had sex in two years, even though my best friend's wife tried to get me to fuck her a week and a half ago. I didn't, and she had a nervous breakdown three days later and is now in an institution. The staff have her on a lazy-river of pharmaceuticals, trying to see which one will prop her up enough to live functionally. I didn't seek this out. I know my best friend blames me. He told her that I am a good listener and she must have been having a hard time. She mistook a very wane attempt at trying to be human as a genuine soulfulness that I fundamentally lack. The idea that I have consistent traits or characteristics seems like a contrivance because living seems unnatural. Whatever my personality is, is beyond me. She initiated the physical things and I kissed her on the neck and face but not the mouth and I can't stop wondering whether the reason I didn't fuck her was either because of the noises that she made, or because I was scared, or if I felt genuine guilt. There have been three other women who I could have slept with easily in the last two years, but I rarely feel attraction to other people other than on a purely aesthetic level. Abstracted from the reality of biology. I don't know if my libido is gone forever or if I have ED or what exactly happened. I technically had sex with one of those three women but felt nothing with a condom on. I don't know if it was too tight or improperly lubricated. I no longer wake up with erections. I smoke a lot of cigarettes. I binge drink. I don't sleep well.

The nurse asks me if I am depressed.
I pause.

I work up the courage to break up with her on Monday. I spend the next three days feeling sad and angry yet also relieved. Tonight I go out to my campus bar with some friends. I sit down in the booth. Immediately my phone vibrates with a text. I ignore it. Two minutes later my phone vibrates with a call. Its her. I move to the patio of the bar where its quieter. I answer the phone. She was sitting outside and saw me walk in. She asks me to come out and talk. I do. We speak for an hour. I can feel my sadness and anger receding, slowly being replaced by familar happiness. Throughout the conversation we begin to touch, subtly at first; a knee against a knee, and then more blantantly as the time goes on; a hand on a thigh. I say I should get back to my friends. We stand up and hug. We pull apart. We kiss on the lips. I get an erection. She giggles and walks away. I go back into the bar. Im distracted for the rest of the night. My phone vibrates again. Its her. She wants to see me this weekend. Deliberate for a long time. Tell her to come over on Saturday. Curse myself for being so weak.
