Is sexual desire the most powerful emotion?

[netzerkaiser]

I was doing well, was off cigarettes for few days & feeling very upbeat. Then I visited quiet small hardware store, of all places & serving me was this incredible looking young lady, physically so complimentary to me. Better, she knew her hardware, her wood varnish's etc inside out. Leaving in crazed summer heat, I felt such a strange powerful distress I had to buy pack of cigarettes to relax my nerves. I didn't beat myself up about it, for once I tried to understand it.

Sexual attraction is such a powerful emotion. I think we often blame ourselves for being weak, when simply its magnificent power & mystery can be overwhelming.

You're honest to yourself & others, thats whats healthy & important.

I'm RC & while I think too much can be put on church or religion in general putting down sexual feeling as negative, I really think & feel that mankind has underestimated the power of sexual feeling, as though its something the 'better people' have always found a way to defeat, & only the 'low-lives', the 'lesser people' succumb to it. This goes back as far as The Iliad, though I think Homer has real insight here. Humility & self-acceptance count for so much, I think.

You thought the leaden winter
Would bring you down forever
But you rode upon a steamer
To the violence of the sun
And the colours of the sea
Bind your eyes with trembling mermaids
And you touch the distant beaches
With tales of brave Ulysses
How his naked ears were tortured
By the sirens sweetly singing
For the sparkling waves are calling you
To kiss their white laced lips
And you see a girl's brown body
Dancing through the turquoise
And her footprints make you follow
Where the sky loves the sea
And when your fingers find her
She drowns you in her body
Carving deep blue ripples
In the tissues of your mind
Tiny purple fishes
Run laughing through your fingers
And you want to take her with you
To the hard land of the winter
Her name is Aphrodite
And she rides a crimson shell
And you know you cannot leave her
For you touched the distant sands
With tales of brave Ulysses
How his naked ears were tortured
By the sirens sweetly singing
Tiny purple fishes
Run laughing through your fingers
And you want to take her with you
To the hard land of the winter

Sexual arousal impairs people's ability to make good decisions.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26310879/

It probably works the same way as any other strong emotion, such as anger for example. When people get angry, then they start to think short-term only, and they no longer see the long-term consequences of what they are doing. That's why in court, it makes a difference if you kill someone in anger or if you plan it and then do it. Doing it in anger is a less serious crime and it's punished less, than a planned act.

Sexual arousal probably shortens your time horizon, and for a while you stop thinking about the long-term consequences of your decisions. That's why your decisions in this situation skew towards short-term gain at the expense of long-term pain.

But if you are aware of how your awareness and thinking is affected by strong emotions, then you can choose to wait until you calm down and only then make your decisions. Or you can consciously and deliberately think about the long-term consequences of your decisions, even when this doesn't come naturally to you.

It's possible to overcome the limitations of your awareness by being aware of what these limitations are and consciously overcoming them. It's basically being aware of your awareness and consciously expanding your awareness, even when it naturally narrows down to a small window in time.

Being in love is the strongest emotion I think there is, with that comes extreme sexual desire for the other person. It's something completely different to as to just being horny.

My dick would say yes. But I think love and fear are the most powerful emotions
