This was written by a man on another website, and I found it both intriguing and slightly creepy (for obvious reasons.)
We all have primal needs.
It's ingrained in us from our caveman days, the need to conquer.
To take what we want when we want it.
Our biggest problem now days is that society frowns on men just grabbing a woman and having animalistic sex with her.
But still, I find myself walking through a store and seeing a woman I want.
My pulse quickens.
My sense of smell increases.
My gaze on her becomes more intense.
My problem is I've been domesticated.
I need to learn to hunt again.
To track my prey.
To be ready to attack when the time is right.
To become the animal that I once was.
(Edits: I fixed all the grammar and spelling mistakes to make it easier to read. The words are exactly what was written.)
The questions:
Do you feel this inherent need to find a woman as a "hunt"?
Do you feel that you have been domesticated by society?
Do you feel the same kind of frustration this man is expressing?
Or is this guy just a dangerous creeper/potential criminal?
On one hand, I can see where he may feel sexually frustrated, especially if he hasn't had a satisfying encounter in a while.
And science has proven many times that under certain circumstances, our primitive brain/cellular memory/survival instincts do kick in/take over. Sexual desires are deeply ingrained into us. I can relate in some ways, as there have been many times that I have felt a bit more like a lioness on the prowl, than a human being. So I can understand what he is saying. Maybe he's just brave enough to publicly admit what most guys secretly feel?
On the other hand, it would be very easy to assume he is a poetic potential , and every internal big red alarm warning I have is going off. Danger! Danger, Will Robinson. Danger! I just hope he doesn't act on these urges during a late night trip for a gallon of milk.
Guys, what are your thoughts?
The id is a powerful thing and can make us do and say pretty stupid things if we let it.
This man isn't tapping into his repressed caveman - he's blaming women for all the shit in his life. "Wouldn't it be easier if i just took what i wanted?" - no shit. Trouble is, there's always going to be a bigger caveman around the next corner who wants what you've just taken - and guess what he's going to do to you to get it.
Current debates about " culture" and other forms of misogyny can sometimes derail the fact many men have thoughts like this and it's nothing to do with society or how they were brought up - horrifyingly it seems to be innate. What culture does allow is for this guy to somehow work out some fucked up way of justifying his dangerous urges.

Why not read some stories instead
NEW! Want a quick read for your coffee break? Why not try this... Flash Erotica: Scrubber When I see or encounter an attractive woman, I feel a deeply seeded urge to 'earn' her. I suppose that this could be called a 'hunt' but it's far, far more visual and emotional than it is physical. All of the emphasis is on me, not her. Without even really thinking I stand up straight, I show off, and I try to develope some sort of connection. I certainly don't feel an uncontrollable urge to just take her. Instead, it's a smile and some casual flirting.
But do I feel that I have been domesticated by society? Hahaha, no. Not in the slightest. If anything, society has provided me with more tools to show my worth and develope mutual attraction with that lady. In the animal kingdom, males really only have peacocking and beating the shit out of eachother in order to win the affection of a pretty female. Is that really what this guy wants? To just fight and wrestle and toss intelligence and chemestry to the wayside?
It's clear that this guy is frustrated. I do experience frustration, especially when I'm blown off right out of the gate, but that's how it goes with anything in life. Often times the best course of action is just to walk away and move on. He sounds upset to me. His words could be taken in a number of ways but I don't think that anyone would disagree that his feelings are strong and intense. I don't know if I would label him as a creeper since it's completely possible that he could be a nice guy but there's something to be said about playing it safe and assuming the worst.
It's not uncommon for a man to have thoughts of just 'taking' a woman but it depends on the context. When I know someone, intimately, and the foreplay gets heated I'll admit that I do feel an overwhelming urge to just bend her over and have my way with her. However, this desire doesn't typically reveal itself with a complete stranger. Perhaps this guy just has a seriously reduced threshold for that behaviour? Whatever it is, I think he needs to pump the breaks a little.
I can’t think of a good tagline so this will have to do. Suggest a better one for me?
I agree wholeheartedly with both statements above. What that man is actually thinking/feeling I know not. However he did get the part about primal urges correct, is so far as we have them. Being part of the animal kingdom and all that. I do NOT believe he got it correct about just taking what you want. Obviously nobody alive can say exactly what life was like in our earliest history, however we can look nature we do know, and draw conclusions. As stated by Hopp3r, it is more peacocking and attempting to gain the attention. This is true across the board, and we as humans also do this to a degree. Is it so out there to think that this has not also evolved over time, as our minds and bodies have? I mean have you ever seen a tv show where a male animal gets out of line with a female? She is often quite violent in response, and often wins that fight. The male, must earn the right to chase, and/or "capture". That is a thing only the female can give.
Long winded, sorry, but whoever that guy was is a potential danger. I also believe he is misunderstanding those primal longings.
As to society, Same as Hopp3r again. We now have more tools, and ways of demonstrating our individual worth. This is a good thing not a bad one.
I myself never felt or acted the way the man described.
Sounds to me he lost all his civilization and intellect.
Is there a desire or fantasy about just 'taking' a woman? Sure, that is 'primal' , for lack of a better word. But it's just a thought, not something ( for me anyway) to act on. Sex is so much more meaningful and wonderful when the person you're with wants it as much as ( maybe more than) you. If that means I'm domesticated, then I plead guilty.
I think :
1) He's tryin to portray himself as something he's not .
2) Sounds like the mindset of a Lush chatroom guy .
