I don't wish to ignore you so I'll just say it is not possible for me to respond to this with any kind of willingness to get to the meanings of what impulses can mean because we have lots of them and whether that constitutes any kind of orientation to anything I do not know. There are many problems with ethics and philosophizing just takes too much darn time.

impulses hum

On a lighter note.

I have impulses to eat lots of pastry. I do. I love donuts. I never met a donut I didn't love. I think that means I have an orientation to being a fatty. I try not to act on my natural inclinations more than every two weeks.
