Suggestions Sought: Pon-Farr

By Mister Curie

So Abelard Enigma recently discussed the phenomenon he calls "Gay Pon-Farr", which is similar to the Vulcan mating cycle when the gay man's "brain is thrown into a neurochemical imbalance and loss of logic and emotional control, similar to musth in bull elephants. The individual may stop eating and sleeping. As the condition progresses, the Vulcan undergoes the plak tow, or blood fever, and becomes unable to speak or think clearly - thoughts of mating overwhelm them."

I don't think I've experienced the gay Pon-Farr yet, but sometimes a MoHo will post a particular photo that I think almost throws me into one, like this one from Beloved Boyd of Hayden:

Or there was last night watching the pairs figure skating at the Olympics.  Anyways, with my realization that I posted about yesterday that suddenly I am noticing the many attractive men around me as my "eyes have been opened", I figure it is better to be prepared for when the gay Pon-Farr comes, rather than be caught unawares and do something stupid.  So, what are your coping strategies?  What do you do to make it through Pon-Farr?  What do you think is acceptable?
