BECOMING A WILD MAN, Part 1: A World Where Desire Dominates
Even with all our progress, deep down we’re still wild animals. In Part 1 of this series, we’ll look at how important sex really is to human beings.
We now live in a modern world.
Our time as hunters and gatherers ended when farming came along.
Farming let us stay in one place and call it home. Not having to move or hunt every day gave us time to build and think.
With that free time, humans started making tall buildings and creating new ideas. These ideas slowly made their way into everyone’s heads, and our wild side started to change into something new.
Soon, this mix of habits and rules we call culture helped us reach the next big step – the Industrial Revolution. With new energy sources, we made modern machines.
These machines quickly became more advanced, giving us new ways to act on our animal urges. Now, with a tap on our phone, we can send a naked picture to a stranger across the world.
We may live in a society, but we are still wild.
Our whole lives still revolve around simple needs – to have sex, to eat, to fight, and to stay alive.
Even with all our growth, we still need leaders. We look for people to guide us and show us what to do. And we choose the ones who seem the strongest (or at least make us feel stronger).
That’s how Donald Trump won over many voters in the U.S. election in 2016. He used phrases like “Make America Great Again” and focused on words like “winning,” which made his followers feel like winners.
Hillary Clinton, while smart and persuasive in her own way, leaned on ideas like being a victim and acting morally better. That makes people feel safe, but not strong. In the end, people follow whoever feels more powerful – whether out of fear, respect, or love.
We only care about things that help us. If you’re not building, leading, or tearing things down for the good of the group, you end up at the bottom and only get leftover rewards.
Deep down, it’s about “givers vs. takers.” People who bring value often get more in return. Powerful people get away with bad behavior that weaker people would be punished for. If you help the group, you’re kept around. If not, you’re ignored.
We like to believe we act based on reason or morals, but that’s just not true. We act based on feelings. You can’t truly act from logic. That doesn’t make sense.
Logic doesn’t drive action – it just connects ideas. You can want to do something, then use logic to see it’s not the best move – if you have good self-control. But even that choice is still based on emotion.
You’re giving up one feeling, maybe short-term or risky, for another one that seems better later on.
Either way, you’re still chasing a feeling. Even deep ideas and high values come from emotion. We are still animals chasing the biggest pleasures and the best sources of pleasure.
That’s what society really is – a big contest where we argue, compete, hurt, and take to find the best pleasures we can get.
There might be good reasons behind our hurting and stealing, but we can’t ever fully separate these acts from our own desires.
And what sits at the center of this massive contest?
Sex.
NATURE’S MOST POWERFUL PLEASURE
Sex is the best pleasure life can give. How do I know? It’s all around us.
The main focus of nearly all religious rules? Sex – who you can do it with, how often, and how to keep it under control.
The start of most violence? Sex. If young people in the Middle East were having sex often, the drive to join rebel groups like ISIS for example would be weaker. People don’t do things like that for no reason. It’s no shock that rape is very common among ISIS fighters and is even used to attract new members.
Let’s not forget suicide bombers.
“Do you even know? A lot of people know that they blow themselves up for virgins. Isn’t that really important? Isn’t that something we should talk about all the time? Cuz you hear about it in the news, ‘Oh, another crazy suicide bomber!’ But you don’t hear why they did it. That’s pretty fuckin’ important! That tells you a lot about human nature. It tells you a lot about people. Tells you a lot about the power of the pussy. Because there’s nothing in that neighborhood, folks! There’s nothing in that neighborhood. Dudes are willing to blow themselves up for the highly unlikely possibility of a pussy in another dimension. Whoa!”
Sex is the center of almost everything we do. Sure, there are rare men like Nikola Tesla who give up sex to follow their dreams; but even then, they’re just trading one joy for another.
“An intellectual is a person who has discovered something more interesting than sex.”
– Aldous Huxley
Also, Aldous Huxley was known to sleep with lots of women. Even with that quote, he still had many lovers (read the book Swoon if you want more info).
For most people, the hope of sex drives their lives.
Men chase money for women. Men build strong, god-like bodies for women. Men learn how to attract women for women. Men plan their whole lives to get women, even if they act like they don’t.
That’s why the MGTOW idea seems odd to me – why live a normal life if you’re not going to be with women? Go be a monk (which is kind of what Nikola Tesla did.
“There are just three things men do only for ourselves:
Play video games
Get drunk
Masturbate
Ladies, you might not know this, get this, or even believe this, but everything else we do is really for you. Men make art, start companies, give to charity, invent stuff – really do anything big – because we want to impress women and, in the end, have sex with them. If women weren’t around, we’d still be naked grunting animals living in caves. In a real way, sex is the reason human civilization exists.”
– Tucker Max, Assholes Finish First, p. 25
I’d honestly find it funny if someone read this and then told me sex isn’t something they really care to learn how to get again and again.
“Then why are you even here?” I’d ask them.
Sex is the center of society for a reason.
It’s amazing.
It’s the best material thing both in real life and in what it means.
Or, maybe, it leads to something even better.
SEX OR POWER
“Everything is about sex. Except for sex. Sex is about power.”
– Oscar Wilde
I feel like this is the line you reach when you keep peeling back the layers of society.
Are we really going after sex? Or is it power? If all of society is built around sex, but sex is really about power, then are we just going after power in the end?
But why? What’s the point of power?
In most cases, it’s still sex.
It’s no shock that the man with the most sexual partners in history, Genghis Khan, was also one of the strongest rulers ever, maybe even the most powerful, at least when it comes to taking over land. One out of every 200 men alive today is a direct descendant of our buddy Temüjin.
Fidel Castro, was said to have slept with 35,000 women, according to the people who used to pick up girls off Cuba’s streets and beaches for him to sleep with.
So the real question is: did they chase power so they could get all the great sex they wanted?
Maybe not. I’m sure the thrill of battle and victory also pushed them to go that far.
I mean, I’ve been in a few fights, and I have to say, it felt amazing. I can only guess how it must feel to actually take over towns and win wars.
So, it doesn’t really matter what the very best feeling is. The truth is, pleasure runs the world.
And sex just happens to be one of the top, if not the top, pleasures the physical world can give.
In that same Joe Rogan clip I mentioned earlier, he talks about riding in a super fast F-18 jet with the Blue Angels and how insane it felt to go so fast that you have to breathe hard just to stay awake.
But then he ends with...
“It was so intense! I mean life changing intense… but pussy’s better.”
A Raw World of Raw Desires Where Pussy Leads
What’s the point of saying “All you care about is pussy, you wild monkey!”?
First, just accept it. Accept that pussy leads your life – for the most part.
If it doesn’t lead your life, well, good for you, you’re like Buddha.
For everyone else, you probably sleep, wake, work hard, fight, and live for pussy.
If that makes you feel weak, don’t stress, women chase dick just like we chase pussy.
Kind of
“Dick doesn’t have nearly the same kind of pull. There’s no chicks willing to blow themselves up for dick.”
– Joe Rogan
Women are sure to get dick. It’s a sure thing.
What they really want is good dick and someone to help care for and protect the result of the dick-pussy mix: kids. And because of that, most women won’t risk their lives for a man.
Only the top seducers ever drive women crazy enough to fight to the death over cock (Armand de Vignerot du Plessis, the 3rd Duke of Richelieu, got two women to dress up like warriors and shoot pistols at each other to win him over).
Still, in most cases, women won’t fight to the death for dick. They’ll fight with words instead. That’s their weapon of choice, and it works better when it comes to staying alive. Gossip is way safer than sword fights.
As for us men, we’re stuck with fighting. I don’t just mean fighting some guy over a girl at a party (though we’ll cover that in this series), but in life, you’ll have to fight if you want to get pussy.
Most of the time, only winners get pussy (or at least the kind you really want).
That urge to fight is your man side at its deepest. The breaker. The force that can’t be stopped, taking whatever is in front of him.
And the clearest picture of that?
The wild one – the caveman – the beast inside you.
And what we’re going to do in this series is tap that beast on the shoulder and wake him up.
Why?
Because the world is rough. Only tough men win in rough places.
So let’s get wild,

Interesting read, I think about this often. What’s your take on escorts?
