In no way should you, go ahead until you feel your desires fulfilled or are broken down. Any book that portrays the moderate lifestyle as one that should be pursued is wrong, especially in our current society. Wisdom is a thoroughly unintellectual path.

If you think you shouldn't, then simply don't. Act them out like an animal in heat by rejecting all the spooks. But in doing so make no mistake about yourself, do not lie to yourself about your ways.

Having too much sex will make you unhappier in the long run.
Your desires will increase (which leads to distress) and you will need more of it to feel less of a feeling of "well being". Not to mention that you will end up being controlled by it, which has many bad consequences, among them that you will do shit that will later regret.

If you prefer a more "scientific" explanation, psychologically, addiction to sex is not unlike addiction to drugs, alcohol, gambling, etc. If you look at recent research, it works in the same way in the brain with the dopamine rushes and all that. One interesting thing about it is how having too much sex works with drug addiction. Since they affect the same brain chemicals, having too much sex makes you more likely to develop drug addictions.

>control his passion
they shouldn't, if you get a chance to fuck, take it, but don't fall in love and for the love of god don't get them pregnant. then your chances of getting cucked and broken heart goes up. just fuck them and don't think too hard about it, become the animal you are, and you'll have some good times

Read the short story Father Sergius by Tolstoy. A major theme is sexual temptation, desire and chastity. Tolstoy himself was fairly promiscuous in his younger days but as he grew older he realized the benefits of not being a slave to his sexuality and advocated celibacy. The story gives you some decent insight into his thoughts.

Yeah they pay. With everything they got. Money, future, life essence, their very soul.
The man looking up is jason, dubbed "jason coom", he has over 10.000 confirmed imdb pornreviews. He cant stop. Wont stop. Porn is his life.

A victim of the Khazar jewish porn industry, certainly, but one cannot feel disgust and dispisement when gazing upon the coomer.
