Although that might work [momentarily] for the hedonist in us all, this path results in profound misery [look out any window for unlimited examples].
Why would a man and woman's capacity to give and receive mutual pleasure from each other, result in profound misery?![]()
Sacrifice and the assumption of responsibility are the paths to contentment.
You cannot compare such a mutual respect between two lovers, with the effects of irresponsible drug taking...
I hardly doubt the bodies own naturally forming pleasure drug ''Oxytocin'' is capable of becoming a danger to the people experiencing it's effects.
Comparing it to drug abuse, is like telling a kid in a sweet shop not to touch or eat the candy because it's dangerous. So you're reply is just simply the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard in my life, tbh.
And what do you mean by ''sacrifice'' ...what's that got to do with a man and a woman who are wholly satisfied with each other?
