Hi,I know I am a little off topic but your questions were good and got me to thinking further about a thought that crosses my mind fairly often. Within my lifetime,and I'm not eligible for SS yet,the average height of females has gone from 5'2",to 5'5"" to 5'7". I wonder if it's good food,vitamins or something in the water or additives in our foods that is responsible. And, drawing on that increase in height,could it correspond with an increased sexual drive,and then could this be natural or contrived?

I'm the guilty party for going OT, and I have to take a little break here. I will share that I have spent so much energy repressing my sexuality for so many years that it drained energy away from concentration on other virtues or commandments. And sometimes the urges spilled out as excess psychological energy difficult to control. Usually I was successful, but there were some lapses. It seemed that only one commandment was operative in my life above all others, the 6th and/or 9th :-). How much worse it must be for men. And I didn't have sexual urges so strong as I have noted in some other women.

I'll have to give more thought to better nutrition and height; those seem to be good observations. And when you are sickly most of your adult life, as were people of the past, temptations to commit all kinds of sins would have been considerably diminished. One just didn't have the means and energy for sin.
