Philosophical thought

Is it possible to become addicted to abstinence?

  1. It’s an interesting concept, George, and not completely original. Prepare for a culture shock:

    “Sodomy”, a band specializing in Thrash music (before you ask the question; the answer is: I’ve no idea!) recently wrote a song entitled “Addicted to Abstinence”. For your edification I’ve reproduced the lyrics below. If you find them understandable, a translation would be appreciated. No, on second thoughts, don’t bother. I read down to the ‘rancerously cutting’ line, whereupon my Word spell-checker blew up in a cloud of smoke, so I think I’ll just take a hot bath, a couple of aspirin, and go to bed.

    "I'm just a prowling maverick
    And detriment to health
    Cutthroat competition
    Desultory to myself
    Scary vulgarism
    Unfathomable cursed
    Perpetuate my memories
    Incombustible words

    Addicted to abstinence

    Protruberant intestines
    Exhilerated sight
    Notorious dinginess
    Coming from behind
    I put you to the sword
    Gasp your vomit out
    You'll never reach the shore
    Defigured like a scrag
    Scary vulgarism
    Unfathomable cursed
    Perpetuate my memories
    Incombustible words

    Addicted to abstinence

    Protruberant intestines
    Exhilerated sight
    Notorious dinginess
    Coming from behind
    I put you to the sword
    Gasp your vomit out
    You'll never reach the shore
    Defigured like a scrag
    Scary vulgarism
    Unfathomable cursed
    Perpetuate my memories
    Incombustible words
    Heinous and destructive
    Balanced on the edge
    Rancerously cutting
    He's dangerous and sledge

    Addicted to abstinence"

    Scary stuff!

  2. So would you need to wean yourself slowly from abstinence or is this one of the few addictions that would be best served by quitting cold turkey? Jumping back on the horse or whatever other animal you prefer to ride?
