I’ve considered whether it’d be better to be born asexual. Perhaps I would be more motivated for projects if I didn’t have a sex drive? Then again, it would be harder to relate to others, and if it were forced by genetic engineering it could lead people toward becoming shut-ins.
Virginity seems to have partly driven Tesla mad (he fell in love with a pigeon.) Without relationships (which lust encourages) I think you’d be likely to lose your motivation in the long-run.
On that note, it seems like humans need flaws to be motivated to seek better things. Permanently eradicating unhappiness might result in complacency. I would like to reach a state of superb happiness before my end though.
