I had a therapist that eventually deemed me too dangerous to myself to be in their care, so she upgraded me to super-therapy where I have to go like 9 hours a week and work with a group and like 5 therapists but I still don't get much value out of it :c so yeah, therapy definitely isn't for everyone

This is a good opportunity to ask why sex work is still illegal (unless you're rich ofc) in the US.

We could basically end the incel phenomenon and deal a huge blow to the sex slavery trade overnight (and for very little cost to taxpayers or society) by making sex work legal and bringing it into daylight.

Ftr Incels exist in Australia and they have a red light district.

Incels don’t want to pay for sex.

Don’t get me wrong, I think it should be legal too if for no other reason that it makes it safer for the sex workers.

But just manage your expectations of what sexual deviants expect as Sex work doesn’t put an end to that part of the equation. Buying sex is still available even if illegal and you’re still going to have sexual deviants,psychopaths and incels. For Those groups in particular it is less about sex and more about power (and often hatred for women) hence the toxic energy they bring into sex.

Another issue for some deviants is sex workers carry a degree of consent. And shitheads like that aren’t looking for consent.

incels may not be seeking for paid sex as much as they want more power top relationship towards women(or feel entitled to) but they are unwilling to work on their personality. So their problem stems not from sex but more from their personality and feeling unloved with the sex they feel entitled to combined into that.

You don’t bring that kind of hate energy for an entire gender just over being horny.

If you want to deal with a problematic group, in this case incels, I don't think it's generally helpful to consider them a monolith. There's different clades in these types of groups that have different views and motivations. I think you're probably right, I did set my expectations too high there, but I do think that there's some quantum of incels who really do end up getting into the toxic shit because of the sexual frustration. I think it's probably much fairer to say that you could defuse at least a meaningful number of incels with legal sex work.

Sex work is illegal because giving people the ability to use something they own (their body) as their own means of production removes a barrier to success, causing some of the power to slip away from the owning class. If I can charge $200 an hour for hole rental services I don't have to work a corporate job, which means my labor can't be exploited. This is (for the owning class) of course a bad thing.

very little cost to taxpayers or society

How would it be a cost, surely it would be a net positive since we can now tax something that's already being done, no?

I see no downsides, provided there are restrictions on advertisement and where they can set up shop. I'm not interested in it at all, but I am interested in reducing sex slavery, arrests of women (and men!) who are just trying to feed their kids, etc. My general philosophy is that if someone wants to do a thing, and it doesn't violate anyone else's rights, there should be a legal way to do that thing.

I went to five therapy sessions and it was like a speed run of college theory on CBT. Dude never stopped talking and we never talked about me or my problems.

I find it funny how many therapy stories on this platform are about cock and ball torture (CBT). Is that an American thing because of health insurance? /s

Weird. That's an awesome intrusion point to get into the depth of why they think they didn't succeed and from there ... piece of cake on the professional side, hard and emotionally tiring work on the patients side! What a shitty therapist. This was ist.. the trust check and she blew it.

[–] comfortablydumb@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You shouldn't criticize the nonexistent therapist.

Even knowing a shitty human therapist personally didn't shake me. It was dating apps. The amount of women I see that I'd run from at full speed, then notice they're therapists... Jfc (I 100% believe everyone should be in therapy. There are shitty physical health doctors too.)

[–] feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Why should everybody be in therapy? That's like saying everybody should see a physiotherapist.

[–] zalgotext@sh.itjust.works 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I mean, with how common back problems are in people of all ages, maybe we should all be seeing physiotherapists

It's more like saying everyone should get a physical on a regular basis. We all need a check up now and then.
