Almost doesn't count. For some there is long term pleasure in denying one's wants for short-term pleasure.

actually, unfortunately, i agree- ie. affairs, drug experimentation,- thrilling for the moment, but then what?

This is what it is for me...Tai Chi, Aikido, yoga, meditation, kiss and hug wife, write, connect to folks on FB, call my friends, a steam bath once a week, a massage once a month, go to the beach (I live across from the beach), listen to comedy on the radio as I site on the dock of the bay whistling "Sitting on the Dock of the Bay", and make a difference any small way I can...That's it for me!
