Ah so are sexual urges like checkin out some girls or a porno just for fun are bad?
Personally, I am very much a nihilist when it comes to material such as this.
Sigmund freud and Friedrich nietzsche are some of the most influential philosophers in my Life, I swear. But I am a moral nihilist, really, is there such thing as a true Morality that consists of having a objective Right and wrong ethics that dictate every human being "righteously"? I think not realistically speaking, every human is entitled by birth with a powerr to have and create purpose, and find meaning in their lives, alongside with the fact that they contend to their own standards of what's good and bad, running on parallels of cause and effect that are the resulted outcome of their actions and what they seek to accomplish. Personally, I find these systems and functions to be really subjective. Like for instance, "whacking off" to a girl while your in a restroom is a necessity to the male or female person doing it, but some say, "OH THAT'S VERY IMMORAL I SAY! IT IS NOT OF OUR HELD TRADITIONAL VALUES THAT WE UPHEAL SO MUCH!" , or "Oh masturbation? that is just normal and, c'mon, every human does it." being pragmatic and an atheist, morality is just man made, artificial and inhibited to our needs and desires to survive and propogate swellfully. now I am not implying that we should go kill or murder or steal ,or ETC. just for the fun of it. NOT AT ALL! it's just that most guiltiness that is come about is just unneccesary and should be dealt with answers. Correct me if i'm wrong, but really, does instinctual behaviours such as these really be directed by our moral concepts? Tell me.
 

I agree. I came across existentialism when I was sixteen after this cop I knew got me reading The Outsider by Albert Camus (my favourite novel) and from that moment onwards I became obsessed with philosophy, and defining myself rather than being defined by others. Nevertheless Camus, Sartre, and Nietzsche are my top boyz and they have had a massive impact on my thinking.
Who are your favourite philosophers besides Nietzsche?

My philosophy is a combination of Nietzscheism, atheistic existentialism, and myself ofcourse. However I also share your interest in Freud and psychology (although I detest Jung) because as you say we have to have knowledge of our unconscious drives in order to make the outcome less sloppy. knowledge is power right. I like the paintbrush analogy btw.

To quote Mr Sartre: " What is meant by saying that existence precedes essence? It means that, first of all, man exists, turns up, appears on the scene, and, only afterwards, defines himself.

There seems to be a connection between being in THE A.R.M. and loving Nietzsche, Camus and Sartre. You'd think it was a pre-requisite or something. It would be a good one if it was.
