95% of our perceived problems with women would be solved with libido control.
When a man is in control of his libido he is in control of his passions, of his sexual instinct, of his so-called ‘biological imperative’ to reproduce. He is reasonable, he is ordered, he pursues excellence and is a natural aristocrat - he is 'Alpha'. Our modern mass culture, our leveling society, is perhaps the first in history to give free reign to the sexual instinct and let it run wild. All others have sought to restrain this instinct, as a rider would a horse, to tame it, to harness it, that it might be subservient to higher goals. With the libido being our life force, it was not repressed, but directed and disciplined, and from this discipline came the best of human culture. Consider the pursuit of this in your own life as 'inner game'.
Enter the revolution in human affairs that occurred with the Protestants and the Puritans. You now see eros and emotion fully repressed, churches stripped of their art, and then art supplanted by dry fanatical ideologies. The world is one of work and seriousness, where Happiness is sacrificed to so-called Reality. But revolutions have a habit of continuing to revolve, and so a reaction to Puritanism set in. In the sexual revolution, we liberated what was repressed, and then delighted in our new found freedoms… until we didn’t. The sphere of the relations between the sexes are now 'problematized', and we spend our time trying to work out how to 'solve' them.
In the Manosphere, a lot is made of self-development. I think that we are here rediscovering the old virtues that held sway in antiquity such as temperance, moderation, equanimity, magnanimity etc. What is this other than a modern Renaissance, and in particular a Renaissance of authentic masculine principles, where the imperative is to create order out of chaos. This transpires first in our own psyches.
