FA 093 Family Relationships

Feral Attraction

Hello Everyone!

We open this week's show with a discussion on marijuana and sex drive. Conventional wisdom says that the more you smoke pot the less likely you are to be active at anything, sex included. However, recent studies show that daily users of pot tend to have more sex than average. We discuss why this might be and why more research is needed.

Our main topic is on family. During the holiday season a lot of us will be returning home to visit family, friends, and other people we grew up with. As young adults (or burgeoning adults) we have to begin to transition our mindset from that of a child to that of an independent adult. How can we accomplish this in a way that is ethical and empathetic.

You also might be in the position of being a teenager living at home. How can you work with your parents to find a way to meet your wants while also meeting their needs?

We close out the show with some feedback on reduced cost mental health services and a question on how to handle an abusive parent when you are a younger teen.

For more information, including a list of topics, see our Show Notes for this episode.

Thanks and, as always, be well!
