The list of things I have done (or tried) to find satisfaction, release, or pleasure (physical or emotional) is quite long. I dont think even torture could get me to admit it all.

But I have always liked writing, and one day when I felt like my unused sexual energy was so great I could power a small town, I had a few drinks and wrote some slutty smut. I like it! And I have written a decent amount! I have posted it on reddit under other screen names in the past, and other people liked it too! Not like "omg you should publish this" but it was still positive validation!

What has everyone else tried? There is nothing to be ashamed of, we are all clinging desperately to happiness in the face of soul crushing sadness.
