I think this new way of life will lead to a huge drop in energy and creatvity and a shift in what personal devlopment means to him. |
I'm actually interested in what Steve thinks of this. Napoleon Hill in "Think and Grow Rich" talks about Sex Transmutation being the art of channeling your sexual energy into other pursuits. In the book (as I recall), Mr. Hill writes that most men experience their greatest achievements in their 30s-40s because their sexual drive is still high but, being married, they no longer have to waste that energy chasing girls. That energy ends up being used for more creative works. I have also read similar things elsewhere.
As Steve goes along with this, I would really be interested in hearing his perspective of whether increased sexual opportunity correlates with a reduction in creativity.

I don't have any predictions on what will happen to your marriage. I'm just mainly interested. But my prediction is that Erin will lose weight as now there is competition.
