Sex and the Stimulus Package: Government funds sex research

The National Institute of Health (NIH) released a list of over 6,000 studies it will be supporting with funds from the stimulus package, also known as the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA).

This set off alarms for some, including the , Tory Mazzola, spokesperson for the National Republican Congressional Committee, was quoted as saying that funding research is an inappropriate use of the stimulus funds: “Because stimulus was sold as a new investment in infrastructure. It was sold as job creating. It was sold as a new way forward for America.”

On the surface it may seem shocking to some people if our tax dollars are paying for “sex” research.

Maybe you were just at the wrong rehabs. Selecting the right rehab clinic is a very important process; you need to go to one that's right for, not just some random clinic. What I would do is ease yourself into it. First, join a support group. It makes it easier when you know you're not alone and you can stand together with people who are fighting the same fight as you. Then, after you have acclimated to the environment of a support group, start maybe considering rehab again, or, who knows? Maybe the support group will be enough? Whatever happens, I wish you the best of luck on your journey to recovery.


Feeling like you cant function right, feeling empty and like something is missing will be there. Also some depresion, mood issues posibly. Cravings for it will be awfull but after a while they will lesson. If you went to a rehabilitaion center then you are usually able to go one a week or so, that is very helpfull and you get lots of support and encouragement. Do that its great. It will be hard but eventually you will be in controll of your life again. Ive been in recovery now for 6months and i am so happy this person decided to quit, its a really good thing. Good luck and i wish the best for them. Have lots of faith in yourself!
