I think people’s intuitions about sex drives are interesting, because they seem to differ. Earlier we had a discussion where it became clear that some conceptualized lust as something like hunger—an active harm unless fulfilled—while I had always generalized from one example and assumed lust simpliciter pleasant and merely better when fulfilled. Of course it would be inconvenient for other things if it were constantly present, and were I a Christian of the right type the ideal level would obviously be lower, so this isn’t me at all saying you’re crazy and incomprehensible in some veiled way—I just think these kinds of implicit conceptual differences are interesting.
