I am 25 and most people my age have been dating for a while and are thinking about settling down while I have no experience in this regard. I have begun to feel intense feelings of lust towards of a coworker, amounting to almost infatuation, but I see it as a betrayal of my autonomy to give into the demands of hormones. I am very driven towards my scientific career and want to commit myself fully to it. I am currently working extremely long hours, many 12 hour shifts and through most of the weekends to this end. But, I am worried that I have become detached from my emotions, and this repression of biological impulses might manifest as neuroticism which could undermine my efforts. Am I based to live monk-mode or am I narcissistic coward?
bro you can fuck and maintain your studies. keep it casual with anyone you hook up with but DO NOT hook up with coworker. especially if your work/studies matter most to you.monk mode is dumb honestly. it's fun to fuck and eat good food and smoke and shit. the key is moderation. your hormones are merely signals of your body wanting to experience pleasure. and there's nothing wrong with that, our bodies are meant to feel pleasure.

>>33646321I'm 26. I've dated in the past before.The advice I give you is that treat your girlfriend like your best friend. If you can't do that then you can't commit to a relationship and expect all the couple crash out possibilities out there.Time management, effort, compromise, caring, depression, financial issues, black mailing, etc..>>33646321> people my age have been dating for a whileYou're just jealous of them having a girlfriend but you don't have any to begin with. You're going to rush things out of desperation and lost focus of everything once you poured everything onto someone.>I have begun to feel intense feelings of lust towards of a coworkerYou and your coworker got nothing in common. You're just fantasizing things and that's all you can do. If you go beyond that you'll suffer the consequence and it won't be what you wanted.
>>33646321If I were you go get yourself a pretty hooker up to your standard + appearance and that person will satisfy you. No strings attached after that. Consider it a trial demo for experience. Other people dislike this idea but you'll get experience in sex, it's not like you're into romantic stuff where you want it to be with your love but none of that matters if that love you had with ends up losing interest years later. Even if you fall in love with someone in the future, you could sexually satisfy her in the long run since you had experience. It's not about first it's about the numbers/experience that matters. All of this that's driving you is lust and jealousy not love after all.
