Having a woman motivates you to take care of her whilst jerking off keeps you in your comfort zone. On the other hand, being unemployed decreases your chances of getting a quality partner quite a lot unless you’re rich already and don’t need to work. To answer your question, I’ve learned that having casual sex motivates you way less to ascend than having a quality partner so I would strive to switch from having casual sex and being unemployed (having no income, that is) to having a stable income and quality partner unless you’re still just a kid and want to have some more fun.
There’re a lot of people who are focused on the apex of the pyramid who follow their passions and realize their “full” potential yet when they’re back home they jerk off. I suppose that fulfilling the lower level needs just gives you more energy, power, focus, and motivation to fulfill your higher needs so the fewer “gaps” there is the more power you have to ascend to the apex and beyond it (like building an empire). In my view, there’s nothing better to ascend to the apex than Ascension and fulfilling your “gaps” in the pyramid. When your pyramid needs are fulfilled and you’ve ascended to the apex of the pyramid and are focused on it entirely you’re an “alpha” indeed.
Running Ascension (and some supportive titles like Mogul, Sex Mastery, Power Can Corrupt, etc. according to the gaps you need to fill up) is the fastest lane to get there.
People underestimate Ascension a lot, and I was one of them. Ascension is not inferior to any other program, Ascension is not basic…Ascension is ESSENTIAL.
