A Few Thoughts about Drugs
I have no idea why I never became an addict. As I have written previously, I had some difficult moments in my childhood and had to find a way to handle the pain in my life. Food was the only real option available, besides the reading, writing and guitar-playing. Of course, this was not a set of options that went unnoticed. My weight gain was commented on, but no one asked the question, “Why?” Why was I doing this to myself? Why did I eat so much when it reached the point where it was no longer providing any real pleasure? And why didn’t anyone stop me?

The complexities of sexual desire are far greater than one might assume.. AI-Generated.
What is the sensation of being 'turned on' meant to be like? The prevailing narratives surrounding us suggest that it is a straightforward and instinctive experience, particularly for the younger population. However, sexual desire is far from being a simple matter. What constitutes sexual desire? While the topic at hand is indeed sex, it is essential to recognize that sexual desire encompasses both physical and mental health dimensions. There exists a substantial body of legitimate scientific research on this subject, yet it is often regarded as taboo or inappropriate, resulting in numerous significant issues remaining unaddressed. Sexual desire can be defined as the yearning for some form of sexual engagement, whether with another person or oneself, as the concept of desire itself is not entirely comprehended. It is frequently likened to the experience of hunger. For instance, one may crave a particular food item, yet this does not necessarily lead to a physical response, such as salivation. In this context, arousal refers to the physical reaction that accompanies desire. Essentially, an individual may wish to engage in sexual activity without experiencing physical arousal, and conversely, one may find themselves physically aroused without any accompanying mental desire.
