Control need not mean frustration or renunciation of basic need gratifications. What I call the “apollonizing controls» do NOT call the gratification of needs into question at all; they make them MORE rather than less enjoyable by e.g. suitable delay (as in sex), by gracefulness, by estheticizing (food and drink), by ceremonializing, sacralizing, dignifying, by doing something well rather than just doing it.
