Would you prefer to be free of sexual urges? (Gllloppo lives

Would life not be simpler and less stressful if you were free of the urge to stimulate your genitalia? If you could be free of this urge, would you make that choice?

How much time and energy to you spend in this endeavor? 25% - 50% are our estimates.

What would you do with the extra time that you had?

During stimulation of genitalia, Oxytocin (a brain peptide), is released in turn reducing stress-causing hormones in the body. Levels peak during orgasm. Increased levels of oxytocin can also make you "appear" younger. So the scientific answer to your question is, yes, life would be more simple and less stressful if humans were free of the urge to stimulate thier genitals, however, the act of stimulating genitals reduces stress and hence life becomes more simple.

There are some early studies and trials into using oxytocin nasal sprays to treat anxiety disorders, but unless there is a pathological inibility to naturally produce oxytocin through such means as sex, loving relationships, generating feelings of being loved and cared for then I hold with popular scientific opinion in that artificial means of inducing this peptide should be reserved for people with pathological and neurological disorders and that every attempt should be made to assist those who have the natural ability to produce this chemical to do so through councelling and talking therapies in the first instance.

His body didn't produce, or only produced very small amounts of testoserone. He was a sucessful man, a doctor IIRC, with a nice house, degree etc.
Anyway, the show was about him starting on a series of testosterone shots.
It was amazing how he changed. His work suffered, and he became increasingly aware of women (where he had no interest beofre). He started going to the gym and working out so he could attarct womem and started going to night clubs etc.
