Fucking Plato got to my thought first! If he know's what's good for him he won't show up at my house talking about his caves and his benign dictatorships of philosophers and diddling young boys in the caves by philosophers. I'd give him a good shaking of my angry fist at him. Not in him! Not in him. My apartment is not that kind of apartment. I refuse to fist anyone over 42. That's where I draw the line.

If there were only some regularity or predictability to it - oh, I guess it wouldn't be "getting lucky" in that case, it would be "having a girlfriend". And, yes, it would be lovely to be able to reach the Off switch sometimes. There's this fantastic passage in Plato's Republic, Book 6, or Book 4, maybe, and it's this much older man talking to this much younger man and the older man says (I'm paraphrasing wildly throughout here): "Ah, I don't really feel sexual desire any more." and the younger man exclaims "How awful!" and the older man in turn exclaims "'Awful'?! Are you kidding? It's like finally being freed from a terrible fever that plagues you day and night . . ." Glad you got lucky.
