Unusual Distractions

Since you have stated you have no interest in sex, and no interest in real
flying, on what do you base this statement?

Simulator flight. And I'm not completely uninterested in real flight, it just
isn't a viable option at this time.

Have you ever tried flight with a beautiful girl sitting next to you? If
not, how can you be sure it wouldn't be a distraction?

For what it's worth, I've been known to distract my husband. Why, once
or twice he actually engaged the autopilot. (The safety minded among
you will be happy to know it was in IMC, there was no opportunity to
be looking for other traffic.)

Yes. I've done all sorts of things with a beautiful girl next to me.

I've done it, and it's not a distraction, particularly if you want to come
back alive (although my flights are simulated, so that's less of an issue--but
I still don't feel particularly distracted).

That's not flight, fjukkwit

Nor will it ever be.

Not if you really like flying.

My worse distraction ever was my wife getting out of wet clothes after
running to the airplane during a cloudburst.

In a situation like that, you mention that a "happy" pilot is a
"safe" pilot...

Didn't Ernest Gann, (spelling screwed up?) in one of his books talk
about a captain lighting matches under the nose of his first officer
while the FO was flying in bad weather or an approach or something, as
a way of teaching concentration?

Well, if you had a choice of distractions. . . .

"Fate is the Hunter", toward the front of the book.

Good Point, now as an Instrument instructor, and an Ernest Gann fan, how
can I incorporate this into a lesson plan?
