>It's not, you know. I'm the odd one for only being attracted to 2D people. My therapist and I have talked many times about this. Perhaps people just say it about 2D people because everyone knows who George Clooney is, but no one knows who Albert from work is, so they don't think to bring it up. Or perhaps if the person is someone everyone knows, they're a bit embarassed to reveal something personal that might get gossipped about and get back to Albert.
As far as irresistable impulses go. I often have impulses that feel irresistable to me. Maybe it's part of my OCD. But I often surprise myself with greater powers of resistance that I'm aware I have.
Thinking through a fantasy to its natural conclusion is something I often do, when it's causing me inconvenience. It often takes all the fun out of it, but it can definitely be useful.
