Quote:
If you could take a pill that would squealch your sex-drive, down to the point of your wife's, so that you did not have mis-matched libidos, would you do it? For the sake of answering the question, assume that you would not feel desire or urges and you would not feel "deprived" of those desires. They would just simply be gone from your awareness and you never thought about sex anymore.

DQ, I cannot imagine any man answering this with a "Yes". Speaking for myself, I now see HD (whatever it actually is) as a great gift, an aspect of the same life force or energy that is behind everything else I do. Gray, Deida and Napoleon Hill all suggest that with proper thought and discipline sexual energy can be "transmuted" or channelled, but should never be suppressed.

I think there are drugs that have pretty much the effect you describe. But I would never take them, for the same reason I have never taken any hard drug, have given up smoking and also watch how much I drink. Life, good or bad, and all our emotions and motivations, have to be confronted and truly felt.

Which I take to mean that every man has within him a spirit of relentlessness and optimism. Its already there; he just has to cultivate it.
