I have had a problem especially if I take any Antidepressants or anti-Psychotics. does something to our sex drive as well as being able to acheive an orgasm, numbing the genital senses.Very frustrating to both. partners not being able to achieve that satisfaction.

Hi Big Mama
I’ve chatted to you online. Everybody is missing the point!! Fixing things in the now won’t fix your sexual problems. Read a great book I’m reading for survivors of sexual abuse: The Invisible Wound by Wayne Kritsberg. He is a psychologist and I agree with what he says. Your sex life won’t improve until you resolve the past traumas from your childhood ie when you were raped. You have to work through the anger, the terror, the emotional pain attached to those traumas in childhood, if you want to be functional and ‘turned on’ for sex with your H. So trying pot, bondage or other sexual activities won’t fix your problems. Pot may give you temporary results but long-term, no. Dealing with the sexual trauma from childhood (and adulthood) will lead to better sex as an adult. That’s my 2 cents. |

This is not entirely correct.
The point of trying pot is not just to release inhibitions in order to allow the enjoyment of sex in the moment. The point is also in gaining insight, and the insight into the trauma's after-effects that can be gained via the pot experience will bring long-term relief. It is not a substitute for but a supplement and a catalyst to therapy. Big Mama, sort of irrelevant now for you, but once it becomes more widely legal for medicinal use, as I hope it will within the next two years, I just wanted to let you know that the benefits are both short- and long-term, and that is not an EITHER/OR between therapy and pot, but their working jointly to help you. I hope! |

Thanks. I think that the T is thinking along the same line. If we can help things along w/ something to lower inhibitions that sex would be so much more productive. Maybe. Who knows. I an so glad I have my T though.

Quote:
My reason for asking this is that there's a psychology professor at the U of Waterloo named James Danckert. His particular research interest happens to be the psychology of boredom, and his research on this topic is getting considerable media attention over the last 12 months or so. Danckert's mirror-world counterpart would probably be Mihaly Czikszentmihalyi from the University of Chicago; Mihaly is best known for Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience. Danckert's idea is that boredom is a positive state of psychological distress even more than a negative state of disengagement from this world. Indeed, there's more than one kind: apathetic boredom, but also agitated boredom. |

Douglas, Thank you very much for your input. I do seem to be of a very laid back natured personality type. I do get board easily. I also have ADD and do not have a legnthy focus. Dissociation is quite easy.

my current partner's ex wife and bff post divorce has ADD and takes medicine selectively, only to be able to focus on exercise. She does not take it daily, but just takes it to be able to accomplish exercising.
