Only at times... But Kant obviously had some big problems.

Witness this...

It consists . . . in this: that someone who defiantly casts off life as a burden is at least not making a feeble surrender to animal impulse in throwing himself away; murdering oneself requires courage, and in this disposition there is still always room for respect for the humanity in one's own person. But unnatural lust, which is complete abandonment of oneself to animal inclinations, makes man not only an object of enjoyment but, still further, a thing that is contrary to nature, that is, a loathsome object, and so deprives him of all respect for himself.

The question is since Kant never married or traveled how did he deal with his own sexual impulses? Did he carry around a great deal of guilt for the impure actions he indulged in and was this expressed in his philosophy?
