Topic Tuesday // Significant life changes for young adults // 19 Sep, 7pm AEST

This Topic Tuesday is for those who are going through the cluster of changes that happen from 18-30 years. We will be chatting about topics like:

- Changes in living and financial circumstances

- Changes in friendship groups

- Changes in routine and workload moving to post high school study and/or employment

& the list goes on!

Most of these changes are inevitable, so during this session we will be drawing from the knowledge from our guest from ReachOut.com & ReachOut Parents

So whether you're going through it, about to go through it or have been there, join us to discuss how to manage these life changes.

Wow, that is actually super helpful for me, thanks! Is there a reason why I have these feelings the most in the morning when I wake up? I think its so weird of me

Are you talking about masterbation @Ngaio-ROP when you say 'get to know you in that arena'?

And good on you for saying no @Shakeelah25

Also, is the purpose of developing a libido to make us feel good, as in pleasure?

Not at all out there @outlander

yes, masturbation is a part of it. But just one part. It really is about getting to know yourself in all aspects.

The best thing about getting older is we can start really learning who we are. Not just about sex but about joy and pleasure.

Like, how do I like to be touched, but also, how do I like to be treated?

What do I consent to? What 'turns me off' about a person in general? Like I spoke to a friend today and she's feeling yuck towards her partner because he wants to vote No on the plebiscite.

So it's finding out ALL the things about who you are before you ask someone in.

YES! 100% @Shakeelah25

It throws back to our primal days of making more humans but it's still there because we are one of very few species who engage physically just for pleasure.

And it's an important part of how we find joy in the world. Which is why it's so great the MH meds are getting better and better at not taking that part of people away.
