I’d say the impulse, that usually leads to sex, comes from the same place, but sex isn’t the only end. If sex is the ultimate goal, no one would get bored of it, when for many promiscuous people, it is no different than a high similar to heroin, whose meaninglessness is apparent, but whose chains bounded you to an aggravating addiction.
More importantly, the often misinterpreted idea, derived from the likes of Schopenhauer’s will-to-life, that sex is the ends of all things reeks of pseudory. It’s not. Sex is only as significant as it serves the purpose of perpetuating the lineage of one’s identity. Otherwise, it’s a faculty gone berserk to the detriment of oneself. Since sex is the most primeval, reptilian way of self-extension, it is often the most prevalent of agents, regardless of its efficacy in excelling at its original purpose.

Relationships, especially with cute girls, are a far bigger cope, the biggest some might say. This is what you gotta realize. Everything that people want in life, the so called "best things", are all exactly that, the highest quality copes there are. This is the hilarious irony of people thinking that studious or intellectual or introverted etc... acts are all just copes in lieu of what they believe are "real" life. And they are copes of course, some of the lowest quality, most ineffective copes you will find so as to barely be recognized as copes at all to any person who has seen the other side. Once you have tasted the most sublime nectar nothing else will suffice. The realest happiness and beauty and love and pleasure that exist are the greatest cope of all. Those who chase it are the masters of coping and you can find it and it can last some time but it too is temporary and will fade away. Remember there is no shortage of beauty in this universe constantly created and destroyed. Every rose wilts and any hunk of carbon can become a diamond.

If you enjoy life, you don't read or even go to movies .Reading is more or less for those that have been fucked up one way or the other.
