I often wonder about the psychology of humans. I would punt every day if I could, I get this hunger... Urge, need to do it. If I don't I become restless, can't focus. I almost feel like someone getting withdrawals. Surely this isn't normal. Any one else experience this? BTW it is not about the sex, it is about the thrill, excitement, intimacy

You're probably addicted ja. I get the same feelings about pasta....and pizza....and if I need to ride my bike.

So, if it is about the thrill, the excitement, the intimacy...take away the possibility of potential sexual activities , even the sex-sensual (massage) sort....

Would it still grip you, make you restless and in great anticipation ?

Would it be that much of an "addiction" ?

There was a punter on ESA some years back that developed an addiction. He started stealing money from his employer to pay for it and eventually got caught. He lost his job, his wife left him, etc. So it happens.

Trust me - the addiction is real, and winners don't know when to stop.
I know of very few punters who were able to leave the purple life, unless something physical went wrong and they are physically unable to continue.

So...

It IS all about the SEX?

But can there be a "thrill" without the sex, Bridge? They're kind of intertwined, no?

My SIMS big fan

Of course there can be a thrill without sex!

Come on by and let's test the theory.

But to go back to what OP said....

"...BTW it is not about the sex, it is about the thrill, excitement, intimacy"

I wonder if he got it wrong?

Intimacy does not mean there is sex.

A few weeks ago I posted of my friends daughter and her soon to be ex hubby where she caught masturbating in the TV room 2am while watching porn and the kids asleep. He admit to her that he has an addiction to porn. See about 40 white working ladies but they never fulfilled the desire he had now moved on to African working ladies. He obviously was craving something.

While I was contemplating how to help the couple, he broke 2 of her ribs, and her ankle and bruised her face. She was in hospital and him locked up. All because she caught him again in the act with his addiction.

Granted, but I think the one thing that's going to merge all three of those elements together is sex.

What I think he meant (and he can correct me if I'm wrong) is that sex outside the Purple World doesn't bring out the same addictive energy in him because it's only while punting that he experiences all three of those feelings at once.

Does that make sense?
