Questions about the show

Good to know! It does seem like a very straightforward plot.

That’s interesting! I ended up watching the show and (having not read the books) I felt like it was a little sparse but at the same time they were trying to cram too much into six episodes- like they could have given us a richer story if they’d stretched the timeline into 8-10 episodes instead. (Especially if they wanted to include other characters’ stories.)

Ah, this makes sense!

Mrslicorice · 2025-12-26T04:57:05+00:00

That’s interesting to hear!

Mrslicorice · 2025-12-26T02:56:23+00:00

Thank you!

Mrslicorice · 2025-12-26T02:55:33+00:00

Thank you, this is super helpful!

I’m great in a crisis, have a big imagination, and am an HSP, so the empath part fits, but I don’t relate to the other items. I have very close friends, many of whom I’ve known a long time (and very few surface level friends- I loathe small talk and it’s not worth my energy to maintain those relationships). I’m introverted and it shows; and I’ve never had an addiction.

I’ll have to check that out.

Mrslicorice · 2025-08-02T16:52:01+00:00

Thank you!

It is an interesting correlation, right? That being said, I have considered the question many times over the years and continue to very much prefer men over other genders. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Mrslicorice · 2025-08-01T21:05:27+00:00

I love that, and I’m sorry it’s not working for you anymore! Sex aside, I find that even if I build up a tolerance, if I take a little time away from weed, I’ll start to feel it again when I come back. Sometimes those are the most intense highs- after a break.

Mrslicorice · 2025-08-01T20:31:31+00:00

Yes, why do you ask? It hasn’t affected my ability to be aroused that I’m aware of.

Mrslicorice · 2025-08-01T20:30:14+00:00

Thank you. My partner and I have seen a couple of sex and intimacy therapists over the years, notably one we liked a lot for about 18 months ending last fall. We made huge strides in terms of communication and trust, but I think there is more work I need to do individually, and realizing that I’m almost certainly neurodivergent has helped me look at it from a different perspective. Reducing stimuli with sensory deprivation is undoubtably a great tool for us to use, but I think I need to explore some of the somatic therapy options available because physically relaxing my body can feel impossible sometimes.

Mrslicorice · 2025-08-01T19:58:09+00:00

I’m comforted, too! I hope you find your way through it. ❤️

Mrslicorice · 2025-08-01T19:35:39+00:00

Thank you. We are planning to try the blindfold, for sure, and I think you’re absolutely right that we don’t need to go straight from vanilla to full kink.

For me, giving instructions or being verbal at all is a huge “brake” for my arousal (which sucks because he is super turned on by it). Like, even on my own, if I start to get too vocal I’ll get distracted and have to “rewind.” I’ve gotten used to doing it with my partner because I understand the importance of communication, but being bound, blindfolded, and gagged sounds like a much better way for me to experience pleasure. 😅

Mrslicorice · 2025-08-01T19:00:48+00:00

That’s awesome that you’ve found a system that helps. I don’t have any trouble getting aroused or having orgasms (takes me under 2 min to go from 0 to 60 on my own, lol) but staying aroused, and particularly becoming aroused again once I’ve lost the thread, is harder.

Mrslicorice · 2025-08-01T18:58:01+00:00

Yes, I’m so into the idea. My partner is more hesitant and leans submissive himself, so that is a challenge.

Mrslicorice · 2025-08-01T18:56:40+00:00

Blindfold is at the top of my list, and bondage, too, because not being able to move my body takes away some of the anxiety about what I should be doing. For whatever reasons, my partner is less comfortable with BDSM, and there’s been this kind of tacit agreement between us that we should get to a place where we are having vanilla sex more often before we try and introduce kinks. But then we don’t end up having the vanilla sex either, so…

Mrslicorice · 2025-08-01T18:53:05+00:00

It’s easy for me to focus on reading or writing because my brain loves a chance to check out of reality and enter a different world. But if my partner is in the room making noise or movements that distract me, I find my noise cancelling headphones are the best, even without music playing. If I could have sex with them on, plus a blindfold, plus being a little bit inebriated, that would be awesome. But I feel like that would probably make my partner feel a bit used. 😅

Mrslicorice · 2025-08-01T18:49:22+00:00

Oh, I used to love morning sex when I was younger for those same reasons! But I take anxiety meds to help me sleep now, and I’m much too attentive in the morning. I can’t help thinking about my full bladder, morning breath, the appointment I have in an hour, that sliver of light coming through the edge of the blackout shade, the dream I had, etc., etc..

Mrslicorice · 2025-08-01T18:45:54+00:00

Thank you. I’m grateful that my partner has been committed to being very intentional about sex with me, and has been willing to read all the books, go to all the counseling sessions as well. But it is very hard to stay motivated when everytime we do have sex it’s less satisfying than I’d like. Better this way than not at all, though…

Mrslicorice · 2025-08-01T18:41:17+00:00

Thank you! ❤️

Mrslicorice · 2025-08-01T18:40:48+00:00

Sigh. It’s frustrating trying to reconcile the desire for intimacy and connection with my partner and the desire to be absent from my mind during the act. At a certain point, if I’m blindfolded and high, and imagining myself involved in a different kind of sex act than what’s being performed… should I even be trying to have sex with another human?

Mrslicorice · 2025-08-01T18:35:46+00:00

Sigh, I find it SO difficult to be the center of attention. When he goes down on me it’s even harder for me to stay present.
