Serious:

The problem isn't having erotic impulses, it's having unhealthy reactions to them. Like watching porn(*). Along with the advice Mushroom gave, I suggest stop watching porn and embracing being a sexual person in a way you're comfortable. Having partner(s) is good too. Or being solo, whatever is better for your situation.

Unironically hating yourself for "being horny" or being embarassed by it makes it harder to care for yourself. That leaves you with no control.

(*) There are reasons I call porn an unhealthy thing. I come from an ML and feminist perspective, not a religious or puritanical one. Read about the Communist line on the sex trade and feminism and you'll understand where I'm coming from. Kollontai is a great place to start.

Sincere post on the anti-psychiatry rhetoric

How long can you ignore the experiences of people who say therapy and medication helped them before you just permanently plug your ears?

I'm "anti-psychiatry" in the sense that I believe the way patients are treated is dehumanizing and traumatizing. If a doctor can deny me of my agency then my rejection of the discipline is only self-defense.

I don't believe psychotropic drugs are placebos. I take medication I'm comfortable with following a doctor's advice.

If I believed I had to wait for the revolution to solve my mental problems I would have killed myself, not become critical of the discipline.

Z-library founders arrested in Argentina

There will always be a place in my heart for people who genuinely work to share human knowledge (and entertainment). I wouldn't be the person I am today without piracy projects. These news fill me with sadness, this is a great injustice. Intellectual property is one of the vilest inventions.

Get diagnosed with depression and a prescription for antidepresants. Not only do they kill your libido, but an orgasm will take so long and be so underwhelming you feel like your junk stopped working.

Antipsychotics are a good weapon too, you just tell a psychiatrist you have trouble falling asleep.

I'm against removing an antipsychiatry community, I would call myself antipsych, but the community is in an embarrassing state and have no feelings against wiping most of the community content.

Edit: I've found more valuable discussions of antipsychiatry in sites such as Tumblr, Twitter and Reddit. It comes down to the fact it's only one user posting links to articles and "outsiders" of the community only contributing votes instead of discussion.
