Not bad ... i might ask you for that. Was thinking more recently about New Skete (the German Shepard Monks), but they're orthodox christian ... I'm closer to the Society of Friends (in terms of organized religions) than anything else.

I vote for sensory deprivation tanks. If we think we're numb, maybe its time to retrain our bodies and minds as to what no response (since there'd be nothing external to respond to) really means.
The serious question:
For those out there who *have* been in the "able body, unwilling spirit" situation -- absolutely no desire for sex -- have you been able to escape? If so, how?
Kicking my Z habit will, I hope, improve this issue considerably, but I wonder how much of the problem, when it comes to no desire, can truly be chalked up to medication alone, and not some psychological issues.
