I think the idea of love has become a hallmark greeting card, but, even with that being the case, I think it's an incredibly important experience to have.
But, let me take a step back and refer to my post from yesterday. When I read that post from a purely intellectual standpoint, I honestly think "what an asshole." I slept with three different women over the course of a week, one of whom is going to be married in 2 weeks, another who I met at a rooftop bar on Friday night, and finally, one whom I've known for over 20 years.
What I've come to realize in my current state is that the deeper DMSI takes me into that reptilian portion of my brain, the more the norms of society make less sense to me. This is bad for two reasons.
One, I might be clinically insane.
Two, I am effectively going against the very things that most societies hold in value.
But, that's an overly dramatized statement. The reality is, I'm cutting through the shit to feed a physical need of mine. Ultimately, that's all there is to it.
I completely agree with you on the view of how love is seen by society today.
Right now we're punishing people who steal materialistic things from our homes. But we don't punish people who steal our partners, which are supposed to be the most precious thing in our life. And it's supposed to be there "until death do us part". I am honestly sad on how the whole thing is viewed upon now, or I'm simply naive thinking it can be that way.
Now don't take it as I'm talking negatively towards you, I'm just expressing my thoughts on how the society views it all.
Would you say that DMSI really goes more into the reptilian part of the brain or just simply allows you to express "yourself" more? Where you refuse to take in the beliefs that society has talked you into? I wouldn't worry about becoming insane.

It's another thing if this is what you walk into in your life at an early age. Because, I think it will skew how you live the rest of your life. And, I think you'd potentially be denying yourself the possibility of something beautiful happening in the future.I appreciate you sharing these thoughts. Being one of the younger (if not the youngest) members here. It's nice to get some second thoughts on things. Probably healthy for us to get this perspective as well. I will take some time to reconsider running DMSI.
At the end of the day, DMSI will not bring you love. Yes, there is healing in this sub, but the end goal of DMSI is not love, it's sex. Which means, no matter how much you heal, you're healing to get to a point where you have lots of sex. DMSI will flood your life with more pussy than you know what to do with, but, that's a fleeting momentary thing.
This isn't to say that I don't want guys like Travis or you to execute the goals. I hope you do and I hope you get laid a lot. There's something to be said about being young and having a ton of beautiful women quivering at the tip of your finger.
I just think that if you're asking about love, you should absolutely give yourself a chance to experience it, if you haven't already. It should be a healthy love, not an obsessive one. But, relationships can be an amazingly transformational experience.
I was actually being facetious regarding the insanity comment - hence I followed up with the fact that I was over dramatizing the effects.
Regarding having our partners stolen, I think that's one of the things where life sort of goes askew a bit. And this is exactly why I say that who you love and who you f*ck aren't typically the same person.
We can't own another human being, barring human slavery, which is a reality in various parts of the world.
That being said, not every relationship will fall apart for something better or shinier. I have friends who have amazing marriages, and I am honestly envious of what they share with their partners.
And then there are things that do happen, where people will veer left, not because they love the other person, but because they need something physically fulfilled. The human condition is incredibly complex. When it comes to the reasons that drive people to do certain things, I will never claim that I know all of the factors.
But, I think one of the things that happens as you get older is you begin to realize that shit happens. That's part of the reason why I no longer judge anyone. Because I don't think anything is that black and white. But, in some cases it may just be.
I'm also not trying to eat into the financial profits of the Maestro by saying that younger folks shouldn't have access to DMSI.
It's more of, I think if you get exposed to something too early, and you don't have the emotional maturity to deal with your own personal fallout from it, it will eventually affect you negatively in the future.
My two cents.
