Unfortunately, I've just run through my buffer, so daily updates may be off for now. I do know where to go from here, but it might take me more than 34 real hours to turn that into a chapter. After this I go back to a bit of buffered writing, but by the end of the week I'll probably have run through that.
You said you like to know why people downvote: Celestia and her parents actions (and her parents' suggestion to her) have caused me to change my upvote to a downvote.
9651324 Which actions of Celestia? I get the parents, but, well, they're not right in the head. I mean, she just said it was not a complete cure and here she is trying to figure out what it actually does. Unless you don't mean they shouldn't do it, but that it just seems out of place within the story? Or is it because it's not healthy behavior? Take note that she declined the offer, at least… though I can't promise everything's going to be wholesome.
9651328 For Celestia I meant the discrete lover(s). For her parents I meant the recommendations of casual sex as a way of clearing judgement for dating.
Ah, that. I'll spoil a shade and say that her mother's recollection is impaired. I'm not sure what your problem with Celestia's actions are. There's barely a hint of what it might be.
That was definitely possible. Absolutely possible. But really stupid. I think I need to stop feeding these thoughts.
They're good ideas, Twilight, you should give it a shot.
I get the feeling that kissing may not be the cure I thought it was, considering I still kind of want to bonk you, dad.
You say it like it's a bad thing. What better ponies to help you lose your virginity? It seems like they're pretty open to the idea, I bet they'd give you a good first time.
Okay, love you, I'm off to see if I can figure out what this is all about.
Man, the poor girl is never going to get laid at this rate.
Twilight shrugged. "Then not me. Any pony would do, except your sister."
Actually, this raises an interesting question. Is it dependent on age group, as in, 20-25, or is it a strict numerical difference in years? If it's the latter, then the royal sisters might just be able to ''cure'' each other. If one assumes that all of the Mane 6 are within a couple/few years of each other, and their little sisters are similarly close in age, then, so long as the royal sisters have a similar age difference between them, it might just work. Honestly, that seems like the kind of detail Twilight might be particularly interested in.
Unless Luna's time banished to the moon trapped her in some kind of limbo, or in some other way affected her age, according to the parameters of the ''Flurry Effect,'' let's call it. But either way, it could definitively rule out one possibility. After all, if it didn't work for them, then it's about the significance about the age-gap, rather than the cold, hard numbers.
Unless the taboo of them being sisters somehow adds a...counterbalance to the alleviating effects.
Yes, I realize I'm probably thinking way too hard about this. It's just the way I am, sometimes.
It's a good question, and it'll come up soon, though not in any important way. For purposes of this story, I will just suggest that Twilight already knows that Luna is just a little younger. Or I could insert 'maybe'. I think I meant to do that. I'll do it now.

The egg petrifying thing is clever though.

Thanks for saying, anyway!

Go for it, Twilight!

Yes, but they may regret it following, and it's ethically murky at best.

That would actually make the reason that Cadance was so *very* disturbed make sense, actually.

I suspect it's the fact that Celestia had sex outside the confines of marriage.
