Why not? I've been doing some reading in the psychology section of the bookstore about people like me. The divorce rate because of people like me is very high; assuming people like me even get into a relationship.

And I'm sick of the urges; they are an intrustion and a waste anyway.

I'm done.

1. Won't necessarily take away the urges.
Just thought you'd like to know that.

3. Therapy to control them maybe?
I worked in mental health for five years. Some of the sex offenders were offered chemical castration (via Depo-Provera mostly). It doesn't always take away the urges. Sometimes the urges are still there but there is no "working equipment" to act on them w/. This could sometimes make the situation even worse. They had urges but were frustrated but could not rid themselves of them (even manually).
Interesting fact to pass along to ya.

7. Therapy will have to be the sole solution then.
I don't recall the term, but if I can train myself to find something else to do when the "urges" arrive, it will become moot.

I just want nothing to do with people. I know my limitations and it is best to stop dreaming I can be normal.
