My shrink has never recommended drugs to me. You can probably get a decent idea of whether they do that or not just by reading their websites/profiles/ads, it's not like there's no choice at all.

It's the cardinal difference between a psychologist and a psychiatrist.
 
The sad state of the medical/psychological "industries". Pill pushers.

Sadly, I have experienced it with them.

Any psychiatrist that jumps straight to the pills because of a problem you grew into that you weren't born with (like bipolar disorder, or autism) is just taking a stupid and detrimental shortcut.

If someone's mental problem is a genetic thing they were born with, yes, pills are a great idea. For someone who just went through bad experiences and developed an issue, the best approach is to help them through it and teach them how to deal with it in the future.
 
In regards to that guy that was trying to move in on my girlfriend a couple weeks back, just got this text from my lady when I got to work today. "So %*#%$ hasn't said a word to me since that night at kareoke. Operation get the creep to stop hitting on me was a success. Hai five babe. Going to take you to a secluded park before the concert on Monday, and afterwards I'm going to see if you can still shout at my place ;) "

Looks line the cards were played correctly.
 
IUD's and other implants are generally the best way to go, but they still can suck, slaughter female sex drive, cause mood swings and weight gain.

It is true, they all suck.

It depends on the type you get. There are some, not available in the US, that are pretty side-effect free.
 
Story of utter failure:

My girlfriend and I decided to have sex last night; both of us were virgins. To keep a long story short and PG, I simply couldn't maintain the proper state to engage in coitus every time a condom came into play (four in total before I just gave up); and not for lack of arousal or attraction to her. There was a similar problem the night before when we were fooling around and I couldn't maintain it for the life of me. This time it took 45+ minutes, of vigorous, concentrated effort just to get anything done. Fucking absurd. Evidently I'm a maestro with oral though, so it wasn't a completely unsuccessful endeavor.

TMI note: It's extra disheartening because I could have been a part of the elite that revoked the V-card on the same day they were given their red wings.
 
A girlfriend is your new drug? Good luck with that.

A completely different mission. Drugs are on hold until further notice. I have no addiction problems at all.

My psychiatrist acted exactly as I suspected he would. Though I was suprised when he seemed almost annoyed that I didn't want to start taking an antidepressant right away. He gave me this whole "It's your responsibility to make this decision to take care of yourself" shit.

Psychologist = How do you feel?
Psychiatrist = How do you feel about taking this?

It's feeling more like summer here now and I have to say I am feeling much better.

I have extreme difficulty keeping an erection with a condom. I've literally been able to do it twice in my life with ten times the amount of failures. The girl I'm with now, I've been having sex with fairly regularly for the past three years and we just gave up on condoms entirely.

Also period sex grosses me out. When I see my dick covered in blood and looking like a murder weapon... I just want to go wash it off.
 
Went out last night and also on thursday night. I've got three girls numbers now. I really like the one I met on thursday, I've got to ring her today and ask her out. The other two I met last night were cool too.

Perfectly normal. It's the nervousness killing the libido. Keep trying. It gets better.

Couldn't you guys just look for better fitting condoms?

I've never really thought about this before. Maybe there's too much gurth for a regular sized condom.... it's surely not because it's too long.

Something to think about if the situation ever comes up again, I guess.
