get some zoloft in these frustrated and depressed young men. if it doesn't cure the depression it will at least remove sex as their only desire / signifier of success, which would probably force some perspective... is that what chemical castration is? have i chemically castrated myself?

    Yeah, I was also a sexually frustrated young guy in my teens/early 20s (in a "Man I wish I could get laid" kind of way, not "I can't get laid because women are evil"). Within a year of starting Prozac, getting a car, moving out, and getting on the dating apps in my mid-20s I went from not having a girlfriend since middle school to dating 3-6 girls at a time.

    It's not all upsides; it's made me into a better-functioning person but, I also recognize, in many ways a worse one.

    In many ways, I think that building intimate, sexual relationships with others is an integral part of maturation and it's natural that those who are left behind feel neglected. There is a reason why people say it "Makes you into a man/woman". Completely unironically, getting laid on a regular basis completely changed the way I look at the opposite sex, myself, and life in general.
