>>Although I don't have sexual or romantic desire to...
I have been thinking about it. Maybe your situation is the best for a young male.
I agree with "whereas the body of a proper Roman citizen was hard, impenetrable and not to be violated" and "a respectable, freeborn Roman citizen was…marked, at least in theory, on the corporeal level by bodily inviolability"
but how could an ordinary, healthy youthful male be spared from the seduction of sex and its possession of willpower, without violating the integrity of the godly body? It is a blessing and tyranny at the same time. Sexual desire gives energy, but opening up vulnerabilities, and it is something too strong to overcome by will of male.
Somehow, you are naturally freed from this temptation and your spirit has one less eternal trap to fight, enabling you for mightier things. I have many goals in life as well, but the urge of sex stands on its way from time to time, something I cannot undo nor ignore.
Or maybe, with your body intact, spared from sexual desires, the fuel of sex is burnt elsewhere instead, propelling you into conquering and explorations, like all our great ancestors have done in the past. Perhaps the fuel of sex does not push your mind into sexual desires and in its place, it burns to give you peerless characters within, overcoming the boundaries ordinary people reluctant to cross. (I don't consider publishing personal photos an act of venturing. It is more like, given who I am, how I am, where I am, I don't bother withholding posting because I strongly despise self-censorship) From what I recall, many other things you have done need credible valiant characters, and taken them in consideration, I shall be humble in front of you. I start to envision, maybe your approach is a viable pathway for myself, as I am increasingly finding my own limits and you seem to reach further in a direction I desire, but unable.
