I'm a direct, head on kind of person. I think the comments come from a non-malicious place, so I'm more than happy to respond to them. All of this - Quest, my site, my online presence is done with the goal of starting conversations. Wouldn't be holding up my end of the bargain if I didn't engage. Thank you! (Also,

Oh the brain zaps. I was on...oh this was a long time ago but I think it was 300mg? I think? It worked well for a while, but then if I was even an hour or two late taking my dose I'd go into withdrawal. Brain zaps. Getting off of it was hell. I had sleep paralysis, and for a long time I had my Mom keep me in a room

Actually, thank you for mentioning that. The picture of kiddo and I was supposed to go in a different gallery and I missed it. Appreciate you pointing that out.

Yeah, sometimes pictures of my kids end up on my site. I am *not* a Mommy Blogger, but parenting things are a huge part of my life. My site is my life, not

My kids are doing great. I think that the concern that people are expressing comes from a well meaning place, but I can assure you that they're fine. The life I lead, the career I have and the way that I parent may not be the way of some of the commentators, but my kids are great. Well adjusted bright little people.

I may not have been clear in my response either, so it's all good. I didn't take your words as a criticism against me. Meant to agree that the attitude that's going around right now that SEX CURES ALL JUST HAVE MORE SEX isn't an entirely helpful one, nor one that is applicable to many people. Sex isn't always good,

The articles that have been posted about my project all have limited space, but if you look around my site you'll see that I spend a good amount of time advocating for less goal oriented sex. That orgasm is not the end all, be all, cure all for everyone. Yes, for me, orgasm is an important tool that I use to improve

Oh, I send you so much empathy. It may be challenging, but I think we can get back there. Or at least back to good. I also feel like this can be a lesson on moving away from "goal oriented" sex. Viewing sex without an orgasm as a failure. It isn't, or at least it doesn't have to be. You can still experience pleasure,

I LOVE

Oh, no worries, it wasn't taken as a"dickish" comment at all =)

My skill is 95% enthusiasm and willingness to look absurd when it goes wrong. Which it does, often. You can do it! I believe in you!

I've also had similar experiences. This time I saw a GP at Planned Parenthood who was very open about the possibilities of anorgasmia along with the other possible side effects. Really, she was the only medical professional I've seen who gave factual information without being dismissive. Huge part of why I am such a

*shifty eyes* It's 11 colors in total. I may have an obsession with eyeshadow.

Thank you! The application takes about ten minutes per eye. Urban Decay Electric palette is what I used there.

I am and I do. The times that I've been without have been because of lack of insurance and/or financial resources.

That was a condensed version of a longer comment where I said that I disliked the groggy feeling from rescue meds as they make me a less capable parent. Overall I feel that coming out in favor of using medications if they work for you, working around the sexual side effects, and openly writing about my experiences

My kids are age-appropriately aware of what I do for a living, and will continue to be as they get older.
