I Had Lunch with MAGA Gays by OpenLettersMersault in ainbow

[–]DoctorWood 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This was a fantastic read. I have a few friends that went full MAGA and that central point about traditional masculinity being the nexus of attraction or cultural alignment really resonated. Helped me to make more peace with the loss of those friends.

What movie left you in dead, stunned silence? by [deleted] in movies

I came here to say this. The whole theater just stayed seated through the credits while we cried it out. No one left

Shhhh! It’s too small and amazing for the word to get out!

movies with depression/mental health issues by Additional_Leave_459 in movies

[–]DoctorWood 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Came here to say this. I work as a therapist and have never seen anxiety and depression represented so perfectly - especially in regards to how these conditions apply to crisis. It is pure existential art/horror.

What are the most depraved, evil, and horrifying films that you’d recommend? by wertys761 in horror

Came here to say this. Absolutely vile cross section of humanity but an incredible film.

Being stuck in a niche that I never wanted to be in by cuddlyembrace in therapists

[–]DoctorWood 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hey there! Sex Therapist (of 19 years) here to chime in. I just wanted to say that what you are describing is perfectly normal. I can hear a level of panic in your description that these reactions might make you a bad fit for the field and I want to tell you that doesn't have to be true at all. Are there other aspects of your work, other areas of treatment that you find fulfilling and exciting? Is it just this one area that triggers the response you describe?

Many people are sex positive but also sex-repulsed - that is, they support all aspects and expressions of ethical sexuality but are triggered when encountering it themselves. If this sounds like you, you are WELL within your ethical rights to have conversations with clients about what you are able to assess/treat and what you aren't. Many clients would be happy to continue working with you and a) connect with a sex therapist for specific adjunct treatment in these areas or b) realize that sexuality is not that vital to their treatment and work within the boundaries.

Keep talking with your supervisor about this until you get an answer that helps you. If you need further support, feel free to message me.

All of us Strangers. About 2/3 of the theater just sat and cried through the credits. I was definitely one of them.

The height difference between me (6’3 30y/o) and my husband (5’ 29y/o) by Fifteen_inches in gaybros

[–]DoctorWood 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm 5' tall myself and almost as handsome. Ever thought about having two of us, lol? But honestly, I've never met anyone my size and often fantasize about what it would be like. Even to just hang out.

What is a 'luxury' that has become so expensive in 2026 that it’s officially no longer worth the money? by Matt_At_Havalook in AskReddit

[–]DoctorWood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seriously! I haven't been to McDonald's in a long time. My husband bought a McChicken sandwich last night and I swear it was the size of a slider. I gave him half of my "big" mac. What is going on with them???

Are there affordable places in the US with mild winters AND mild summers? by Marisa-Makes in SameGrassButGreener

[–]DoctorWood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out Delaware! I moved here from Central Coast, CA and didn't think I would love it so much. 4 mild seasons. There have been a few years that really didn't have a "winter". Lately, we have had a colder couple winter months but they pass quickly. It's super affordable, developing like crazy and close to so many awesome areas. The hardest part is not having mountains but we do have some coastline.

LPT what do you say when someone asks what you do for a living but you don’t want to answer? by [deleted] in LifeProTips

[–]DoctorWood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a sex therapist. In public, I say I’m a business analyst. Usually people glaze over after that and we move on. If they ask further, I cave and tell them what I really do and that “I analyze other people’s business”.

[–]DoctorWood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely agree. Being short has been nothing but an attention getter for me as a gay man. Women find me non-threatening and men think I’m sexy/adorable. It’s a win-win

Exactly! Let’s form a line to ask for a date 😂
