I'm not repelled from sex, it's repelled from me...

I have managed to figure out what, among other things, about my early life has lent itself to my current mood, my parents have apparently not had sex since my sister was concieved, and they treated it like an unholy act to be performed only in the most dire of circumstances and those that do it more often were perverts and I didn't want to be like that.

I have to admit that I can relate.  A bit...then I got to university.  Not that it has changed anything specifically for me...but researching human behavior and being with so many more "liberal" people sort of meant that I understood a little more of what goes on.

Most people seem to get along in a much different way than you have described above.

So when you say the Japanese are sex crazed...in reality most of human civilization is (some try and hide it).  And so should it be...its a preservation instinct and its pretty much fundamental to the core of human behavior (and most species behavior anyways).  Its just that cultures have tried to deal with it in different ways to varrying degrees of sucess.

Just a thought.

I couldn't attend a University, as such, because I suffer from an debilitating case of Agoraphobia.  I get petrified at the thought of being in the same general area as 10,000 other people, as I would at University, so, as you can see, that type of enviroment is right out.

What? No boobs?

Them Japs are mighty strange people. Anyone remember hearing about those Dead or Alive cushion thingies? That was messed up....

Have you been to see a shrink?

[pyro-manic]

Sounds like a good idea. That ain't fun for anyone.

...I guess some people here haven't heard about Realdoll yet

And that's American! So don't call the Japs crazy! Crazy janks :p

What you mean is, has he been out[/b] to see a shrink?

Seriously though; Lib, if you have agoraphobia see someone about getting help /with it.  It's obviously hurting your quality of life, so there's not excuse not to.  I'd imagine they'll be some local psychologist or support group willing to come to you, if that's a worry.

I can barely afford the basics of life, why would I throw money away on something as ephemeral as a shrink when my car burns almost as much oil as it does fuel.  Besides, a shrink would just try and dope me up on some form of narcotic/amphetimine(which I appear to be largely immune to in pescribable doses) and call me cured which I wouldn't be.

It's not throwing money away if it helps you; if you can't afford a shrink,  try and find a support charity that can assist.  (once again I am left perturbed by the US healthcare system and the lack of a proper NHS type system......)

Also, it's highly unlikely they'd just 'dope you up'; yes, some anti-depressants / anti-anxiety medication may be prescribed, but agorathobia is cured via exposure therapy, not drugs.

Put it this way - are you happy?  To me it seems you aren't, and that this is part of the reason for that, so why not try and get it fixed?  After all, it's not throwing money away if it works, is it?

That's what I'm saying, it likely wouldn't.

Shrinks are useless hacks. Or 95% of them are anyway. Basically, they're just someone who will listen to your *****ing, and for that I don't need to pay two hundred bucks and hour.

Unless we're talking about serious mental ailments, no one really needs a shrink. Its just a fad that we have in Western societies, cause we feel more secure when there is a "professional" looking after our mental health, despite the fact that in the bast majority of cases their just "treating" bored housewives and businessmen in the throes of a mid-life crisis.

But that's just me and I could be wrong.

Why not?

I think agoraphobia would count as that.  A friend of mine was hospitalised with depression a few years back, so I tend to (try and) pay a lot more attention to the whole issue of mental health & treatment nowadays.

[redmenace]

And as for drugs, you can decline to have them prescribed. When I saw a shrink at school, after I had my mental breakdown, she tried and tried to prescribe or have me go to a doctor to prescribe me anti depressants. Liberator, you can tell them no and explain your reasons. Also, Liberator, you won't be liberated until you can overcome what holds you captive.

[Krackers87]

now this is why japanese people frighten me.

[Unknown Target]

Lib, umm...no offense, and I'm not saying you're lying, but almost every thread that I go into where you post something about yourself, you always say that you have some sort of phobia?

If you really have all those problems, I think maybe you should go to a psychiatrist (not a shrink people, be respectful ).
