I think people forget a lot of times. Yeah, you're not worried about how you feel about your orgasms. And instead of like, honoring that and being like I'm just really fucked up right now, and like sex is not on the table, you know, push yourself through, yeah, and they have a complete lack of communication about it, and he just feels guilty, that she feels bad, and then he has to leave.
Ever wondered how Harry Potter might cope after the final battle? In this episode of 'The Forbidden Forest', Rho and James take us back two years before the previous chapters to explore Harry's life post-war. As Harry grapples with functional depression and addiction, the hosts dive into his unhealthy coping mechanisms, including using sex as an escape. They don't shy away from tough topics, shedding light on how these issues are intertwined and the importance of open communication in relationships.
Rho and James also highlight the power of fanfiction and fandom in creating a supportive community. For many, these stories provide a sense of belonging and understanding, especially for those facing similar struggles. If you're interested in how fanfiction can mirror real-life challenges or just want a deeper look into Harry's darker days, this episode is a must-listen.
It's a raw and heartfelt discussion that blends the magic of the Harry Potter universe with the very real issues of mental health and addiction.
