-Porn addiction is not a recognized disorder or scientifically supported treatment model.
-Therapists with higher personal sexual shame are more likely to diagnose sex or porn addiction.
-Non-heterosexual and nonmonogamous therapists are least likely to diagnose or treat porn addiction

@thiago-barbosa.bsky.social β€˜s book is truly an excellent introduction to the first female Indian anthropologist, Irawati Karve (1905-1970). Her work challenges both colonial academia and the current Hindutva view. I look forward to learning more.

Rachel visited her local sexual health service, feeling unwell after the end of a relationship.

Excellent read about the practice of locking away the undesirables in Britain in recent times (1913- 1959), done in the name of science, led by the eugenics movement. Offers a lesson in humility and a caution against conjuring up righteous panic.

Another HIV clinic, another new diagnosis in a young person who had never been on nor heard of HIV PrEP. We truly are failing to get the message out to those who would benefit most, and must do better #IDSky #HIVSky
