Sometimes I’m a fucked-up, oversexed, women-obsessed freak who should be locked in a room until his hormones subside. I mean, it’s ridiculous.
Ridiculous. I don’t know what it is that triggers these things, but when it gets switched on, it’s really hard to turn off. Ignoring it is like trying to ignore a tornado. It’s just too big, too fast, and kicks up too much dust.
For the last two or three days, I’ve been utterly overwhelmed by the chemical wash of desire.
I know what I’m supposed to do.
- Hit on my wife, big time. (Not the best time for that, though.)
- Pray to be less sexually obsessed.
- Uh, you know. “Take care of things.”
What amazes me, though, is the ferocity of this thing. A friend of mine said to me yesterday: “Lust is a motherfucker.” And boy, is he right.
I suppose women might have the same problem, but I doubt it.
Love to all. Even you, the lady on the train with the lip gloss and high heels.

Just a lil FYI-Yea, women can have the same problem...its just harder for us to 'Uh, you know. “Take care of things.”'
Yeah, yeah... you say that... but I think it isn't true. I mean, you may have a "similar" problem, but I honestly think that men and women are engineered differently.
And I think that men are: 1) more likely to have this problem, 2) more likely to have it more intensely, and 3) likely to have it more often.
Does this make me sexist? I hope not. Yikes. And I wholly realize I may be talking out by butt.
Dude, I feel like 24-7. I would so much more successful in this world, if I stopped thinking about sex for one minute altogether. It's hard to focus on anything else.
... and ehem.. What was I talking about?
I totally didn't proofread the above comment. But you know what I mean. It's all lust's fault!
Doesn't make you sexist, just makes you a man and being a man you have only a man's point of view to look at this from.
I think it best be said some men are more likely to have this problem, more likely to have it more intensely, and likely to have it more often, but some woman are just as likely to suffer from this affliction of aphrodisia.
And no worries, I have been married for about a decade and am completely used to men talking out of their butts ;)
I'm with Emily...women are most certainly capable of being in this state of mind...women love sex too you know. And yes women are engineered differently, but all that does is make how we deal with it different, well thats for me anyway...certainly won't generalise this into a women vs men thing. It's a personal issue more than a gender one..again, just my thoughts though!
Awesome comments, but I'm sticking to my guns on this one.
I never said that women don't love sex. (Maggie would kill me if I said that, even though she doesn't read this blog.) I am saying, though, that men are WAY more susceptible to hormonal overload. And by that I mean, having their thought processes totally overtaken by desire.
This isn't to say that men are helpless. But we have to take active steps to intercede.
Can you learn to enjoy frustrated lust as a kind of sweet torture? I’m just throwing out ideas here.
Ha ha... No.
Women do occasionally have the same problem, but after 11 years of being married I know it's not even close to being the same thing.
We can kiss the kids goodbye, wave to the bus as it pulls away, and then zip upstairs, thinking about not so much about sex as finding time to masturbate (you just didn't want to say it, did you? Well, there you go), gather all the laundry, hop into the bed, take care of business, hop out, zip down to the basement, throw in a load of laundry, zip back up to the kitchen and load the dishwasher, etc, etc, etc.
Men and women are definitely engineered differently. I think men do have it more intensely, and, because they're men, get all temporarily obessessed with taking care of their needs. Women just toss it on the list of things to do that day.
That said, I'm a little irritated that I've got a bunch of kids over tonight playing with my kids, and it would be wholly inappropriate for me to go upstairs to take care of my own needs, let alone have my husband take care of them for me, and that is really annoying. I guess I'll have to wait for morning, while everyone is playing video games, watching TV or surfing the internet, to zip upstairs to "gather laundry."
I think its more of a challenge for men to be self-controlled. Really, men are visually stimulated so every woman who walks by who exudes any kind of sexuality sparks a response (at least that's what I have understood). I feel bad for men in this day and age. It can't be easy...
You've been tagged!
By the way, I do think women have the same problem, just maybe not as intensely.
You doubt that women can be overwhelmed by lust? heh. So very, very untrue.
I'm going to stop right there because you've pressed one of my hot buttons.
I've lost count of the amount of ex's who dumped me because they were sick of me pestering them for sex all the time (I'll define “all the time” as being somewhere above seven times a day). While my current partner is defiantly dealing with my high sex drive much better, he still has to turn me down. His excuse being that unlike me he needs sleep to survive. I will blame this on my hormones. I have a hormone imbalance, my body produces more testosterone than the average womans. *lol*
Book: I've been tagged? What does that mean?
New York: I didn't say that at all. I just think we're different, is all... there are no absolutes here.
Rock on.
I can attest to what you're feeling. I thought (worried?) it would slow down with age, marriage and such, but no such luck.
