Couldn't help laughing when I finished the book. A funny ending, but it is so realistic. Didn't I or you once, or again and again, become the slave of sexual desire? Human is made, with (sexual) desire planted as one side of his nature (and rational as the other side). The character Joji just represents the extreme case when the single side dominates. However, his behavior looks so familiar. Naomi represents the extreme case of another dimension, greedy and lust.
To me, Tao is the process that one understands his nature, planted, assigned, inherited, and then become a master of his own.
