yes

seriously bro, try being poor sometime. I've gone for two weeks without eating and I've got a colleague who once went three. neither of us even stole anything, much less go apeshit or hurt anyone. even plenty of people in concentration camps died without committing any crimes
Bro, that was just an example, i have no idea about exact time needed, but eventually instinct WILL take over. If you don't believe it, stating that you got over it, it just means that you, forgive me for crude language, "didn't starve enough". If human being is able to keep their principles all the way up to the last breath from starvation - they are a literal saint at this point. And at this point, it would be equally stupid to expect other people to repeat such a feat.
Or you know what... since it was just an example - sure, throw it away, doesn't mean much. Since we are talking about primal desires - do you know how people sometimes have a random boner? If someone who already married have a random boner on someone/something else, it's an unconscious desire. So, according to the other guy, that guy should be evil sinner for having such an unethical desire, despite the fact that the man is sane enough to keep his desires in control and not act on them. And then, in addition, that man has been dragged away and filled with drugs enhancing his desire and thinning his reason. But hey... he was evil from the start and drugs don't matter, since it wouldn't work if he wouldn't had those sinful desires in the first place, right?
