    Endorphins from sex are absolutely not a long term mental health treatment. It might improve your mood at that moment, but not your health.

      Is it a cure? No, but it’s usually a better treatment than what therapy offers, mental health requires constant maintenance, and in a lot of ways it’s smarter to keep your mental conditions off of a record authoritarians can use against you.

      Not to mention I’ve seen people create more problems for themselves by focusing on them too much. Too much therapy is worse than too little.
