>Young man! Deny yourself satisfaction (of amusement, of debauchery, of love, etc.), not with the Stoical intention of complete abstinence, but with the refined Epicurean intention of having in view an ever-growing pleasure. This stinginess with the cash of your vital urge makes you definitely richer through the postponement of pleasure, even if you should, for the most part, renounce the indulgence of it until the end of your life. The awareness of having pleasure under your control is, like everything idealistic, more fruitful and more abundant than everything that satisfies the sense through indulgence because it is thereby simultaneously consumed and consequently lost from the aggregate of totality.

>taking this advice from someone who literally died a virgin
It’s a sound ethical principle for the most part, but you will not get a lot of sexual opportunities at the end of your life. If you postpone pleasure indefinitely then it’s really no different from the ascetic ideal, even though it purportedly reframes it. It’s very similar psychologically to the ascetic Christian who hopes for his pleasure in heaven, except he’s secularised that heaven into “one day in the future”, which, of course, never comes.

And of course I did it many times after. Nevet got addicted. Never touched any other drugs (yet). I'll save that for when I'm very old.

You made a pact with Satan, guaranteeing you hell instead of risking it through suicide. Congrats, I hope you repent soon and find a more holy way of finding living bare able, instead of restoring to means which are inexcusably evil, against yourself and everything beautiful.

OP's pic is not a historical portrait but an average of multiple of Kant's portraits, which hypothetically would sort of average out most of the other portrait's exaggerations, but also includes some artistic liberties. Contemporaries described Kant as a handsome man with piercing blue eyes so im personally more tempted to imagine him closer to the OP's pic.
