They see nurses spending their hard earned money on vacations, cars, homes, and bags and all of a sudden nobody has a “passion” for it and that we are only doing it for the “aesthetics”. Bitch i had to clean up diarrhea off of the floor if i wanna be flashy with MY money i WILL!

a lab in the netherlands scanned couples during orgasm and stumbled onto the strangest finding in sex research. when women wore socks, the orgasm rate jumped from 50% to 80% the researchers weren't studying socks. the scanning room was cold, some women complained, socks were offered. suddenly the success rate exploded and the team realized they'd accidentally run the most important experiment of the study the mechanism showed up right on the brain scans. female orgasm requires the amygdala, the brain's fear and threat detection center, to power down. cold feet kept the threat system quietly online. warm feet let it switch off. that tiny bit of physical discomfort was enough to block the entire cascade - her brain cannot climax and scan for problems at the same time. the systems are neurologically mutually exclusive - socks are a stand-in for the real variable: comfort. temperature, privacy, no time pressure, no risk of interruption, nothing pinching or hurting. every small discomfort is a tax on the fear center - this is why the same technique works one night and fails the next. the variable that changed wasn't your hands. it was her nervous system's threat level - the environment is doing foreplay before you touch her. warm room, locked door, no rush, phone away men study techniques for years and lose to a cold room. her nervous system decides if orgasm is possible before your skills ever enter the conversation. handle the amygdala first. the socks were never about socks

I’ll never forget in 2020 my psych prescribed me adhd meds but because of ocd, I couldn’t fill it. I was like, “The world is bonkers rn, I don’t wanna start meds that’ll help me then immediately become hard to get.” She thought I was losing it…up until the adhd med shortage hit.
