A note on Chemistry · 9:12am Sep 4th, 2014
As you've likely seen by now, I have a new fic out by name of Chemistry.
It's not a cutesy romp through Equestria staring Purplesmarts and Candybutt. It IS, however, my most personal fic to date. It touches on something I have had to deal with throughout my life and it is something that is frequently hard to talk about. On one hand, it's a personal issue that I see as a personal weakness. On the other hand, it is hard to describe what it is like, especially to the people that make up the largest demographic on the site. Namely: sex addiction and its many related ills.
Now, I don't want to chase anyone off from reading Chemistry, obviously, and I don't want you kind folks to think that ol' Fuzzy is off his rocker. I've wanted to write something about this subject for a long time and never did because I was afraid of doing just that while also not being able to give the subject the respect it deserves. When I was invited to the Twidance collab by ArguingPizza, I saw an opportunity to make a story like this. It is experimental from the ground up for me, so you're going to see some conventions in it I normally don't employ. It's all to , hopefully, set the right mood and tone.
Ultimately, I want to give Cadance and Twilight the happy ending I was denied by my personal circumstances. And I don't want to get too dark with it, but it's going to some uncomfortable places. But I promise you it will come back out again. I want to give this story a piece of my heart so that through pony you can better know me and where I came from. I'm not asking for sympathy or anything here, I'm just trying to let you know what it's all about and a little bit of the why.
TL;DR: I wrote a story about sex addiction and Princess Cadance is me. Twilight is also me.
Stay Classy

Uncomfortable places make the best fics. I think I'll appreciate this one.
I didn't realise there were medicines to deal with that sort of thing though.
Many thanks for getting this piece posted on its own, painful though it may have been.
SexAddiction is like OxygenAddiction, it does not exist. The desire for sex is a normal biological desire. Sex itself is intensely pleasurable. Stop listening to those prudes. Go enjoy sex. Unfortunately, the prudes have gotten to too many ponies, so it is often difficult to find sexual partners, but that is the way the cookie crumbles —— ¡terrible prudes intent on making everypony else as miserable as they are!

Also, and this is just my Breaking Bad binge talking, but Fic Does not include Candace and Twilight cooking Crystal Meth.
Seriously though, I am intrigued, I will be taking a look quite soon.

They use Seroetoninergic and mood stabilizer medications for it now. They didn't have those back in the 80's.

It's more cathartic than painful, really. I'm still a little anxious about treating the subject properly while also writing an engaging pony fic, but I think I've got it where it more or less needs to be.
I'm going to be releasing the chapters once a week to give me a buffer so I can write new content for it.

See, you not wrong in that sex is pleasurable and the desire for it is perfectly natural, but the point you may be missing here, is it's not about sex. It's about the addiction, which is very real and can be very harmful. The use of the term 'sex' tends to throw people off so a better term might be 'hypersexual disorder' or simply describing it as a progressive escalation of sexual behavior despite repeated and increased negative responses and consequences.
The reason why I mentioned it being hard to talk about, especially to a group of predominantly males in the 16-24 yr range, is the fact that sex is a big part of their lives. It's normal and just fine. But again, the sex part isn't important, it's the behavior of addiction. Just like with alcohol and drugs, you can use sex and sexual behaviors to reward yourself, escape stress, etc and it can get to the point were you cannot stop and it is ruining your life.
Trust me, I know it can.
