Summary

An image for suppressing something, as Mike's teacher used to explain it: a piece of cork pushed under water stays down only as long as we keep pushing, and when we take the finger away it pops out. So we should not try to make our desire zero, sexual desire that we try to get rid of gets stronger, and people who hide their bad side behind their goodness cannot keep it hidden.
