Maybe PT-141 Will Take Me Into the Now
The Guardian has an fascinating article about a new drug, an inhaler called PT-141, that stimulates sexual desire in women as well as men.
The article explores some interesting dynamics at the intersection of sex, health, and pharmacology.
Here’s one apropos bit:
‘I see a lot of couples in my practice who don’t know how to relax,’ says Leonore Tiefer, a professor of psychiatry at New York University School of Medicine. ‘That’s fine - it’s a big asset to them in their corporate lifestyle, where they can work 80 hours a week. They’re trained to multi-task. Well, it doesn’t seem that that is really doable when it comes to sex. And they’re angry about that: they need it to be doable because they only have their five minutes.’

Regarding the headline for this post... Eckhart Tolle has a funny moment in one of his lectures where he discusses resistance to being present for life:
“I don’t want to be in the now,” you say to yourself. “I want to get the future, and then I will be in the now. ...Maybe my American Express platinum card will take me into the now.”
It’s a common problem. Maybe PT-141 will be the answer!
