I didn't want to be a slave to any passion anymore. I gave up card playing altogether, even bridge and gambling - more or less. It took me a few years to get out of it.
I decided I didn't want to be a slave to any passion any more except for my work, i had too many passions - bridge, horses, gambling. I want to live a different kind of life, be with my family more because I didn't give them enough time.
I had too many big passions in life and it gets in the way of work. You can't concentrate properly on the one thing.
I can't say I gave up totally my passion for women but almost.
Making love? It's a communion with a woman. The bed is the holy table. There I find passion -- and purification.
