Carnal instinct

It's strange the things you think about whilst performing menial tasks. For instance, I was just hanging my socks up to dry when I had an epiphany. Whilst I do have the base carnal desires that are inherent in most people, they don't seem to have much substance behind them. Do we need an emotional attachment in order to persue such things as would be ideal, or do we give in to those instincts? If we carry out the latter, what of the aftermath? Does it really matter? The awkward silence, the attempts to avoid eye contact. It's just speculation, but it's a thought.

Could I ever really feel that close to anyone? Would that stop me? Of late I've felt a little dead inside. Now it's true that I've spent a large portion of my life that way, but it's not the greatest. Hmm
