Primal Urge Poll

[Rodgers]

Do I really have to answer?

As for food - I would eat flavoured cardboard if it contained all the necessary vitamins etc

Sleep is pretty cool too

 

[Remorseless]

To shave the fine technical points here: food and sleep aren't "primal" urges -- they're requirements. You wouldn't call breathing a primal urge, would you?
With that said, that only leaves sex and adernalin -- seems to me they can go hand-in-hand, or, (youknow)-to-(youknow).

None of the above. I am beyond such primitive concerns. I am a rock. I am an island.

 

[Switch625]

Sure you are, Simon. What about POWER, eh?

 

[Simon Darkshade]

Just a necessary part of the job, Herr Switch. I'd rather be off riding my luck dragon.

Mr quasi-evil, up for a spot of quibbage (sp?)!

Adrenalin junkie?? as an, option give me a break.

I've had enough Adrenalin highs to know, they really suck.
You mean endorphin junkies - human manufactured morphine!

Where was the options for the prim-evil urge - do unto others before they do unto you, and enjoy it!

While I have regular strong urges to mate, I also have an extremely strong desire to fill my role as a predator. It consumes me at times(especially this time of year.) I hunt practically every day,(September-January) even if only for an hour or two. If I am not hunting, I am scouting(finding places to hunt) I become exhausted by January.

And do it all over again in May for turkeys only more intensely. Up at 3:30-4:30 practically every day. Hunt, go to work. fall asleep at the supper table. It really is primal, I feel wild when I do it.

Civ!

I nearly chose #3 activity, but went with the final option, as I just can't tell the difference anymore.

I'm not a thrill seeker. When I say activity is a primal urge, I mean that after having my basic needs met, I still want to do something. Perhaps I cook though I'm not hungry, and freeze it.

One More Turn

 

[Jeratain]

Sleep, with food coming in at a close second.

 

[Furry Spatula]

heh heh, you almost have all four of the real primal urges up there.

The four F's (feeding, fleeing, fighting, and mating )

 

[Cantankerous]

I had to go with food.

While it may be more "necessity" and less "urge", it's still something that can consume me.

"Where do you want to eat? I dunno, where do you wanna eat?..."

The need to reproduce is the most primal urge for humans,
That and the need to outdo their competitors, for the right to breed.

Of course, beating these urges down into the depths of your being, is part of a persons growing up process.

I have mastered all my urges, and can control my need for food, sex, etc.

It's all very subliminal and samurai-like.
