7. Temptation to escape

Like a moth to a flame, burnt by the fire, temptation is a powerful emotion. When placed in certain situations, our hormones get the better of us. Temptation is everywhere these days and to exacerbate things, men and women don’t abide by the same rules of self censorship or self control like before. Being fuelled by a millisecond surge of sex hormones is a hard thing to resist and can make you do things that you don’t mean to. Don’t underestimate escapism as a powerful aphrodisiac. It pushes us to consider the merits of forgetting reality, for a while.
