Step back for a minute. Remove your hand from your pants or out from under your shirt. Dismount. Disengage. Take a shower. Get dressed. Take a few deep breaths.
Head clear? Good. You just spent the last several [seconds/minutes/hours/days/eons] thinking about, engaging in, obsessing over, sexuality, so lord knows you weren't thinking straight. But how about now? What the hell is sex all about, anyway? Does it deserve its own mega-industry?
Hardcore drug addicts talk about chasing the "ghost"--that ever-elusive notion of the perfect, ethereal high that supposedly blesses them on their first hit and subsequently curses them by failing ever to return, but which perpetually motivates them to continue seeking it at all costs.
I wonder if sex carries a little bit of that burden... not because it, too, can be addiction, but because it, as a notion, has exploded way beyond the realm of the real and is now its own "ghost" for so many of us. The way it is built up, fantasized about, pedestalized--how closely can that ambrosial abstraction about sex really mirror what happens in reality? How often do you find yourself... *gasp!*... disappointed?
I don't believe it to be totally a farce. Let's face it: when you click, you click, and the experience is great. But it usually takes a lot more effort on both ends, and sometimes luck, than that scenario of pure bliss you concocted in your head.
Thoughts on that? (Do I even to ask?  )

I know I have distinct thoughts on this, I can feel them in there somewhere trying to make sense, but the caffine hasn't quite kicked in yet, so for now I'll just say "well written" and leave you a kudo for listening to my rambling.

Ghost or not, ever elusive or not, anything worth doing is worth doing to excess.
I just shaved my palms as proof. There are many things in life that are just as elusive, but are hardly as worthy in their persuit. Fantastic sex is not a burden to persue however elusive it may be.
Now let me outta this clearheadedness ya butthead.

I have been seriously thinking about becoming addicted to sex, want to help me with that LINT? 
Actually any addiction, whether it be drugs, alcohol, gambling or sex can be harmful to you and the people around you. Addiction is addiction and drug is a drug even if your choice of drug is sex.
Just my 2 cents and probably not even worth that LOL

Congratulations, pudge, on your few moments of lucidity. I totally disagree, naturally, but it was crystal clear! 
Seriously, if you love lasagna, why would you cheapen it by eating it every meal? All of a sudden, grandma's ancient recipe doesn't seem so novel anymore, and then you're stuck chasing the pasta ghost.
Thanks to L4F@45, though, it doesn't seem like such a ghost anymore.

Who said anything about eating it every meal?
I'm talkin, takin a trip to Italy to get the little know mind blowing lasanga then eating like 3lbs of it in one sitting. Not forcing it to mundane by eating crappy lasangna from a tin every meal...
Ya butthead.
