Lust: a powerful force indeed. It can sweep away family, career, reputation, and good sense. Ask General David Petraeus.
It takes two, as always, but I can’t help blaming you-know-who. That’s right, I’m talking about the most single-minded body part of all, the envied one, the King of Organs himself. He has always had his way, this mad tyrant, and I have no doubt he will continue to do so as long as sex remains popular.
The brain, to its credit, has always fought gamely against the tyrant, but the most it can ever hope to be is second banana. All the logic, faith, and force of will at its command are nothing against the raging biological imperative.
Even the most towering intellect is no match for an I.Q. of One, and even a five-star general must bow before the King.
