Good advice. I have been giving similar advice for years, but apparently even listeners to my show won't take that advice. And they're trying to make their dicks bigger, make their dicks smaller, some of them. Listen to Dr. Barack, professor of medicine at the University of Washington, simple country doctor radicalized by the election of Donald Trump. And don't inject meth into your dick.

Don't do it.

Don't do it.

But do go to swingleft.org and scroll down to their list of House races to help swing the House and Senate races. Before I let you go, Dr. Brock, you've been coming on the show for years and it doesn't seem to give you a lot of joy or pleasure. You always seem like hell. You're in hell when you're on the show having to answer these questions. Why do you keep coming back?

What do we have on you that keeps you coming back?

Okay. I just want people to know you're not doing this under duress. We're not holding your family hostage. You're here of your own free will, even though you're dying every time you're out.

Thank you for coming back on the show. I really appreciate it. And now I'm off to One Pennsylvania, onepa.org, to make that donation I promised you I would make.

Picture this. You're in the heat of the moment. The attraction is there. The chemistry is crazy. You are feeling amazing. And then all of a sudden, it hits you. An intrusive thought so disturbing, embarrassing, or disgusting that it doesn't just kill the mood, it shakes you to your core.

It might be taboo or aggressive, and you know it's the complete opposite of what you actually want and who you actually are. So you start to worry, why did I think that? What does this mean about me? And worst of all, this isn't a one-time thing. These types of intrusive thoughts keep coming back, popping up when you least want them to, and they don't seem to go away.

Your distress snowballs until it feels out of control, but telling anyone about these thoughts seems too mortifying. Here's the thing about disturbing, taboo thoughts. They're more common than you think. In fact, almost everyone has them. But for people with obsessive compulsive disorder, or OCD, they tend to feel sticky and cause a lot of anxiety.

And if this doesn't sound like OCD to you, that's because it's misunderstood. OCD isn't what most people think. OCD latches onto unwanted thoughts and can make you feel like a monster, even though that isn't true. But that's what makes it so debilitating. The thoughts can feel so real that seeking help can seem like a huge risk.
