First off, I have no idea what the hell I've just read.
Next, please, please write these things so those of us who want to understand can.
Then, without wanting to be pedantic, vice is a semantic construction that's misleading. Everything we do is related to desires, but vice connotes a negative desire. Love, charity, and bravery are desires, they're just a bit more positive.
(minor detail: a voice pulling strings is like a loose cannon rocking the boat)
Sexuality is also difficult to deal with in this context. Sex is a biological imperative. Most other vices are intellectual. Unless somehow there is some particular, abnormal proclivity at work (which I'd rather you didn't share) sex is up there in the Freudian trio of commanding factors.
Ask yourself instead, what is it that you desire that isn't a vice?
