The “hot girls excite me” line would (I think) be less liable to read as creepy/objectifying/oversexed if it were more explicitly flagged as “this here is a list of ways in which I am just a normal human being with normal human goals and values and whatnot”, but doing that would arguably make things worse stylistically. I think it should probably go, and if you find yourself strongly inclined to leave it in then I suggest thinking hard about why. (Not because I have any specific opinion as to what the reason is, but I think it might turn out to be informative.)
You say you never masturbate because “it helps me be productive”. You might be right. But you might consider the possibility that there’s a connection between that and having a casual reminder of a girl you met 15 years in the past send you into a state of sufficient horniness to make you spend an hour trying to track her down online.
Yeah, “Hot girls excite me!” has been interpreted in ways I didn’t intend more often than I expected. I’ve crossed it out on my about page.
I hadn’t thought about your second point before. It’s possible you’re right. My gut says it could’ve been boredom and/or loneliness too. I can’t remember how I was feeling on that day.
As far as I can remember, I haven’t done anything else like searching for the Hungary delegate over the past 4.5 years. And, off the top of my head, I can’t think of any other potential unintended consequences of not masturbating. So for now, I don’t think it’s worth spending more time thinking about it.
A couple of remarks.
