 The sexual instinct is one instinct, but there are many other instincts as well. There's the instinct of self-preservation, and there are social instincts and aggressive instincts. There's a whole host of different instincts, and the animal represents the totality of the instinctual world. An animal never consists only of sexual desires. A dog, for instance, those dobermans, they have aggression, they have the need for food, they have the need for affection, they have the need for being with other dogs, and so on and on. And so if a woman singles out the sexual instinct as the only instinct and runs it with her head, then it is contra-instinctual because it's out of balance. It's choosing one instinct against all the others, which nature never does. Nature keeps a kind of homeostasis or general equilibrium between the instincts and turns one instinct on and then the other off and on and off again. If we observe animal life, it's periodical. There are periods for the sexual instinct, there are situations for the aggressive instinct, there are situations of the collective herd instinct and so on. Those rhythms are regulated by totality, by the wholeness of the being. So only man is stupid enough that he can pick out one instinct and perform only that one instinctual performance and then naturally that is against the wholeness of the instinctual world and then he does harm to his own body and to his whole life.
