episode no. 12, The Last Ghosts that Remain

the part where she’s in the room and her and Sarper are arguing, and he wants to go to sex therapy. she goes into the bathroom to change, and she IMMEDIATELY has a mood shift. and it’s clear he caught that too.

at first, i thought it was the petty “okay! 😊 well since no one’s hearing me out, i guess i’ll just shut my mouth and let everyone figure it out on their own!” you know, whether you’re right or wrong in an argument, you’re just fed up and no longer want to participate.

then, i realized, no, she was definitely on something. she supposedly drank only one glass. she perked up because the wine, “hit.”

so, let’s be messy and speculate was she was on LMAO. i think maybe she took molly? the wine in the meantime amped it up?

hi! i take 20 mg adderall xr almost everyday and a 5 mg instant release adderall as needed (if i need to run a quick errand or have a 3 pm brain crash in the work day).

generally speaking adderall can cause/worse acne (something like sebum increases). and, yeah, i do already have cystic acne, adderall or not. but, when i take the 5 mg instant release, i for sure break out/acne gets worse.

what are yalls experiences with adderall and trentinoin? considering my flare ups are situational (when i take the instant release), do yall think i will I still experience these flare ups with trentinoin?

i’m referring to the episode where she tells the couples to name who was the first celebrity they jerked off to.

in previous episodes, and even in different seasons, thais has expressed how exhausting it is that patrick wants to have sex everyday (and sometimes multiple times a day) or he thinks she’s cheating. i know they’re both irritating as individuals (personally i think patrick is a horrible person), but i’m referring to this specific situation. a lot of couples experience this. an imbalance of power in the bedroom that involves ultimatums or will lead to an argument in the future.

when thais was saying she doesn’t like that patrick has this expectation, dr. porn was like, “well that just means he’s super attracted to you!”

that’s besides the point?! who wouldn’t find her extremely attractive?! who wouldn’t want to bang her all the time?!?? but that doesn’t mean she has to put out everyday wtf.

and when dr. porn was suggesting he might have a sex addiction, she defined it as masturbation or sex interfering with your day or day life where you can’t perform everyday tasks. jerking off on the clock isn’t the only symptom of sex addiction. that’s only the severe side of sex addiction.

you can be extremely successful in your career and still be a sex addict. i’m not a therapist, but it looks like patrick’s sex expectation (key word: EXPECTATION) does interfere with his daily life. his wife is complaining about having so much sex. she’s expressed that he feels like she’s not allowed to be tired or just.. don’t want to.

dr. porn saying, “him wanting to bang all the time just means yall have a strong connection and he finds you extremely attractive” completely dismissed thais’ feelings. i genuinely feel so bad for her.

edit/additional commentary: i feel like this specific therapist is also suggesting that sex can save their marriage. these people are here for a reason. most couples, at least in this season, don’t have issues in the bedroom. kara and guillermo’s issues have absolutely nothing to do with the lack of sex. if anything it’s good that guillermo has that boundary (im not done with the season; please don’t tell me that they eventually fuck). sex therapy doesn’t exclusively involve a dead bedroom or lack of sexual connection.
