It does? You mean http://lesswrong.com/lw/453/procedural_knowledge_gaps/3i49 and http://lesswrong.com/lw/79x/polyhacking/ ?
Personally, an asexuality hack would impress me the most. But I think that may be beyond possibility, barring drugs. :)
The trick is just to start anyway, unless this is prohibitively expensive; things start falling into place after enough steady work on a single problem. I like this saying to remind me of this:
It's like 'the fact that you haven't yet started' is a looming tyrant that you have to overthrow, and once you have, you can only then begin genuinely THINKING. It's like that often for me. But I have found that with practice this effect is reduced.
I suspect, about the bissexuality hack, that just going there and kissing a non bearded guy works faster, and only if that doesn't do the trick one should start using slowmotion behaviorism.
Totally, Now if only there were an analogous method to go from bi to asexual.
(BTW an inbetween way re: sexuality might be to imagine yourself in that situation, in detail -- make a detailed fantasy going into everything that could happen, deliberately forcing yourself to let the whole thing pan out before you let yourself switch to another train of thought. I've used this to mitigate excessive aversion and excessive attraction in the past.)
The most wellknown and effective asexuality hack is to hack your balls off.
