I think that if you are like me, you may discover something that the experts won't ever tell you. Once you cross a certain line and the perverted survival drive (the Beast) is born, trying to ward off desire is like trying not to think about that pretty girl in the mini-skirt sitting across from you on the train. An exercise in futility, mostly.

Get some sleep, have some coffee, and read it. It will only take you a couple of hours.
