What do you make of Augustine's reveling in the fact that he "no longer sought a wife" once he was converted?

When Augustine arrived in Carthage at the age of 16 to
pursue advanced rhetorical studies, he was deeply troubled by lust. He fell into a
period in which he was, according to his 'Confessions' constantly thinking about sex and
frequenting prostitutes. Even in his conversions to neoplatonism and Manicheanism, he
continued to struggle with lust, and had an illegitimate son by a concubine. No matter
how much he engaged in philosophical thought or prayer, he continued to be tormented by
an over-active sexuality. Famously, as a Manichee, he used to pray "O Lord, please make
me chaste -- but not just yet." It was only after his conversion to Christianity that he
was able to move beyond this compulsive sexuality.

NB: If
you are using the Pusey translationm, remember that Pusey was an Anglican priest in the
Victorian era, and the Latin phrase he translates as "seeking a wife" actually means
something much cruder.
