If there was a pill that took away 80% of your psychological pain but made it impossible for you to ever orgasm again, would you take it?

I guess I wouldn't. I mean, even if it didn't take away orgasms, psychological pains are part of what makes us unique. Yeah, they can be extremely painful, but that pain can lead to an eventual solution which will bring us more joy than ever. We need these types of things in our lives, it's what makes us so complex and human.

Not a chance in hell. One can acquire more damage. Once orgasms are gone, they don't come back, then what are you left with?

Don't orgasms cause the release of dopamine though, so they do actually make one feel better anyway? I don't think I'd take that pill, personally. Furthermore there are more severe symptoms of psychological problems than just pain.

Probably not. Let's look at Maslo's Hierarchy of Needs; sex is in a way in two teirs out of the seven. You Need sex to attain Self Actualization, to be the very best that you can be. I realize that an orgasm isn't the sole purpose of sex; however it is a crucial part of attaining satisfying sex on a routine. It affects the Amygdala which you know as the feeling center of your brain, it regulates your emotions. Nucleus Accumbens releases dopamine to your brain, that good feeling you get during, before, and after the climax. The Cerebellum helps control muscle function; if I remember right that's a part of your central nervous system. Along with that endorphines are released as well, along with epinephrine in some cases. If you break it down then you're messing with a little more than just your sex life here. No orgasm means you're probably doing more harm than good. Personally my experiences with psychological pain have taught me lessons before many others my age will learn; I've met 30 year olds who still haven't learned the lessons I have. It helps me greatly in life and it teaches me to truly care for the people that are around me, to love a little deeper and to trust a little more. To be more of a giver than a taker. It makes me who I am. I would have been very different had I not suffered psychological trauma; if I could do it all over again, there isn't a thing I would change. I would choose to make the same exact mistakes that hurt me so much due to the reason that they build me up to make me a better person than I was before. Orgasms make me happy, even I've only done it by myself. I feel that I would be worse off if I never was hurt as bad as I was as many times I was. Much less think about what it would do to the rest of your body. That sounds nice, but I honestly couldn't see myself being happy without psychological pain; I wouldn't like music as much as I do. I wouldn't have anything to live for. What's a life without something to live for? Thank you for reading, I realize that much of this may not make sense (That's what I get for being awake at 1 AM)
