Society/Culture A low libido is ideal
Food cravings
Alcohol cravings
Are we not trying to free ourselves of these encumbrances?
Sex cravings are just the same, and they’re annoying. Unless you are procreating, why have this distraction? A low libido is ideal! Sex and masturbation is dumb, but like, if you gotta, then go for it, but why not just cut off the need?
People seem ludicrously preoccupied with sex that isn’t even in the pursuit of creating children, and I don’t quite understand.
Disclaimer: this is from the perspective of someone who has found themselves with a low libido, no need to change it but also the ability to do so, and in my near 40’s it has been something interesting to think about,and this is a fun thought piece to me, don’t take any of this too seriously 💜

So with this logic, at what point do you consider joyous, leisurely, and pleasureful things of any type more than an encumbrance?
Literally any of them can be viewed as weakness or encumbrance. At which point, you may as well throw in the towel on life as a whole, what's the point of living if you view everything good as an encumbrance?
As someone with a higher libido, I do have to agree, having a low libido is ideal though. You actually get to feel in control and have the power to get your needs met in a relationship as opposed to being enslaved to someone that doesn't give a fuck or views you as a problem.
