In math, - + - = +. Therefore, seems logical that two depressed people coming together in body and soul, fucking, equals two people who are not depressed anymore!

Koolman! Really? Can that be proven mathmatically so my wife can understand? If so we can throw away our depression pills :)

While the causes of depression may vary from person to person, I think it's really just a lack of direction for the mind, body and soul. Sex IS a direction for the mind, body and soul, so, it stands to reason that sex lifts one out of depression, because one has to apply positive effort to enjoy sex, and achieve an orgasm!

While the pleasure of sex ends after the orgasm, and the depressed person then sinks back into the funk, the well, of depression again, sex is at least a temporary band-aid for the life-sucking void of depression, that provides at least some temporary positive good-thinking and euphoria.

I mean, after all, when you're admiring someone's body, the way it looks and feels, kinda hard to think about anything negative, agree?

I could use some sex...

    So mad at Xfinity!  They're trying to charge me $115 per month for the same service I had been paying $50 the last four years. I took the equipment to UPS for shipping and cancelled my subscription today!  Next door was a cookie shop called Crumbl. I had heard of it before but never went in until today. I don't need one more sugar fix, but maybe it will help with my sad) grieving heart....$15...
