I'm going to broach a related subject that hasn't been mentioned yet. In a good band, the players relate to each other on a level that 'mere mortals' don't understand. The amount of passion involved, and the kind of connection that we get with each other, creates a kind of intimacy that raises some heavy levels of sexual tension.

This can cause bands to self-destruct quickly, especially on road-trips where band members often learn to detest each other anyway.
