My Sex Addiction Nearly Wrecked Our Marriage. Do We Have to Tell the Kids?

Do whatever floats your boat and works for you and your family, but no, perpetuating pseudoscientific myths to your children about “sex addiction” isn’t healthy or ethical. Yeesh, @nytimes.com, do better. 😬

Could Your Kink Be Misunderstood by Law Enforcement? Online stings by law enforcement effectively detect potential sexual offenders. However, they may also pose a potential risk to people who engage in fantasy online roleplay.

Online stings to catch sexual predators are on the rise. A growing number are targeting ageplay kink communities, in which adults engage in role play as children. David J. Ley Ph.D.www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/women-who-stray/...

Who had June 5 in the bet on what day Trump and Musk would turn on each other? I know I didn’t. I’d predicted March 3.

I randomly emailed an author of a paper on sexual regret, looking for a PDF. (Don’t know him, just found his email) No lie, he had just this morning been on my own website looking for info on me after reading one of my papers. He initially thought my email was some kind of auto spam. Small world.

folks who believe in sex addiction see it as external to the person, separate from who they are, acting "like a drug" on a person, and not entwined with or reflective of who the person is. they really do believe these people are victims and at the control of their sexuality.

Seems like accepting a plane from a foreign country with known Russian ties and using the plane to transport the President might have some security concerns. Surely the plane might not be wired for monitoring or have secret killswitch?

Some rando sent me a ChatGPT “analysis” of one of my articles. Was rather reassuring how inaccurate it was. Apparently ChatGPT believes “porn hijack’s dopamine systems”?

No, Abstinence Won't Increase Your Testosterone Claims that testosterone is increased by abstinence are based on rather poor science, and seem unlikely to be accurate.

Semen is not a magic fluid that gives you superpowers when retained. Can’t believe this still needs to be said. No, Abstinence Won't Increase Your Testosterone. www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/wome...

AI Romantic and Sexual Partners — More Common Than You Think Many young people are using AI for sex and romantic purposes, and some report they find it more appealing and comfortable than dealing with real people.

Are AI generated romantic partners good or bad for us? I think it depends. But 1 in 4 young adults have used them. We have to start wrestling with this, like it or not! www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/wome...

Every time someone says “COVID was a fake/fraud/panic,” I say “you took John Prine away motherfucker!” Then, well, I can’t say anything else according to my attorney. See. I can listen.

Years ago I explored writing a book with a woman who was a former Mormon polygamist sister wife. She’d entered polygamous marriage in order to be with another woman, whom she was in love with. As a lesbian, she embraced polygamy as a means to be with her female lover. Fascinating story…
