Re: Satyr to Sartre: MC Philosophy
OK, this has been niggling in the back of my head for a while now, so I guess I'll give it the old college try.
I think the absurdists might like mc -- it carries a reminder that struggling against the inevitable is a worthy task in life. Camus wrote in The Myth of Sisyphus, "Knowing that there are no victorious causes, I have a liking for lost causes: they require an uncontaminated soul, equal to its defeats as to its temporary victories." I think we are quite equal to our defeats (that is, not being allowed to cum -- although a ruined orgasm is probably quite a defeat as well!).
On the other hand, though, Camus stressed that for the "absurd man," life should be about breadth, not depth, of experience -- I wonder what he'd say of those of us here who are locked up for truly long terms. But perhaps the chastity experience is more varied than it appears on the outside...
Beyond that, my philosophy gets pretty hazy... Dostoevsky's idea that we are redeemed through suffering might have a chastity context, but maybe that's more just BDSM.
Plato had the idea that there were "perfect forms" which humans imperfectly mirrored on earth -- I wonder if there is a "perfect form" of male chastity... I don't think so, though.
He wasn't a philosopher, but Kerouac's words in the mouth of Sal Paradise seem to sum up how I often feel about the games my girlfriend and I play: "I pictured myself in a Denver bar that night, with all the gang, and in their eyes I would be strange and ragged and like the Prophet who has walked across the land to bring the dark Word, and the only Word I had was 'Wow!'"

Re: Satyr to Sartre: MC Philosophy
Could it be as simple as we get more emotional fulfilment from anticipation than we do from satisfaction?

Re: Satyr to Sartre: MC Philosophy
I'd say that anticipation is at least half of the fun.
But without satisfaction every now and then, there remains nothing to anticipate, which would end the fun once and for all.
