Paging @bhamv3 to test this on his wife!
And this is why you won't have problems hitting that 21 solo-sessions goal.

This is how my dog looks when I come home
Trying this with my wife right now!
Please have her do it again, only this time, make sure you record it.
I was sitting here thinking "Man, the guy that's the head of the ron paul institute sure doesn't sound like the kind of guy I'd expect to be on the Ron Paul Institute"
That said, anyone that's the head of the Ron Paul institute probably deserves to be yelled at.

Horny is a valid emotion!

I know a lot of mental health experts who would disagree.
I acknowledge that the experts would know more than I do.
I also choose to ignore the people who know more than I do and insist that my perspective, which was reached only through subjective personal experience and no research of any rigor, is the only right one. Horny is a valid emotion, dammit!
Why? It's a mental state causes by hormones, as a result of (usually external) stimuli, influencing your perception, decision making, etc.
I literally can't think of how "horny" is any less of a valid emotion than "depressed", "stressed", "interested", "fearful", "angry",...

Depressed, and interested are also not emotions. Depressed is a vague term that can refer to a lot of different states. While a diagnosis of depression can be a useful label, a patient describing themselves saying "I'm depressed today" doesn't help them or their therapist, because it can mean so many different things. "Interested" is a thought, not an emotion, and that's the important distinction here. "Stressed" could be an emotion, but it could also be a thought, and is likely both, so it's important to make the distinction.
A lot of people with mental health disorders have a difficult time differentiating between thoughts and emotions. ("Angry" is an emotion, "I want to punch someone" is a thought. We have much greater control over our thoughts than we do our emotions.) When I was in my first psychiatric hospital (Menninger, one of the top in the nation) they had us focus on what they considered the five core emotions: Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, and Guilt. Since then I've learned that there's disagreement on what the core emotions are, how many there are, and what to label them, but there seems to be pretty strong consensus that differentiating between thoughts and emotions is important.
Hunger, thirst, pain, heat, cold, and other sensations are also not emotions, even though they're frequently connected to emotions.
Horny often has emotions associated with it, but as a whole it's a combination of thoughts and physical sensations that may or may not be associated with emotions.
Huh. I didn’t realize the choices in Inside Out had an actual basis (though they swap in Disgust for Guilt).

Disgust is an emotion. Guilt is not. Emotions have an outward (usually facial) expression. Feelings do not need to have that, though. Thus, horny, and guilt, are feelings.
Surprise is also a primary emotion, fyi.
Post automatically merged:
Surprise is also a primary emotion, fyi.
But this line would've also had worked if she had said, for example, "Why are guys always so stupid and angry?!" Angry is an emotion.
Where's the rest? For research purposes, for a friend I mean...

I'm pretty sure this is an actual clip from the holiday special
...I dunno, that's kinda doing it for me.
The “milk me daddy” just completely killed the mood though.
