I literally cannot continue this conversation before we understand each other on the nature of wanting. Or like, I can... but we'd just keep going over the same things, reducing us both to just practicing intellectual wankery. And I have a feeling you have more self-respect than that, if you think that my argumentation is "unbecoming of an intellectual".

And in any case we've been at this for 4 (very delighful) hours but this body really wants a different activity for now.

Sure, let's discuss the nature of want, then, if that's your chosen distraction.

And no, I don't have any self respect. I will wank all day long. Self respect is for people who take themselves far too seriously. I only mention your intellectual status due to the fact that you seem to take yourself very seriously.
