At least or at most?

I agree. But why did they discontinue Cinnamon Crispix? I am still picketing my local supermarket about that one.

My father had amazing results with acupuncture, but I am a neophyte. Anyone use it acupuncture or other alternative therapies?

You will find there are two schools of thought on sex in traditional Chinese medicine. You want to avoid anyone who talks about sex as a loss of life energy, or about preserving your "shi". The others - well, they were the explorers who mapped the g-spot. Learn, and teach.

I almost hate to get too philosophical about this, but what is the working definition of a "nerd" here? That is, besides asking this question in the first place.

I use acupuncture regularly. It rocks for all that ails me.

I'm 40 and if I had sex only once every three weeks my skin would look bad, my mood would be bitchy, and overall, I'd resemble one of those poor mangy starving lions you see on nature specials who have gone too long without food because man and nature have conspired to slowly destroy their habitat. So I question the veracity of that "fun fact."

I've had tremendous results from acupuncture, and from chinese herbal meds too. So have several people I've sent to a couple of acupuncturists I've known, including Mrs. Finch and several friends.

I used it to help me recover from a serious car accident, including to get rid of some post-procedure bone pain that codeine and percoset couldn't even touch. Mrs. Finch used it, among other things, to help her get pregnant and to induce labor.

The diagnosis thing is amazing. The doc looks at your tongue and your eyes, feels your pulse, and then says accurate things like "you broke your rib five years ago, and it still gives you pain." WTF?

I don't think so. I think this place provides a distinctly non-nerdlike conversation we don't necessarily get elsewhere. I don't see it as nerdy at all.

Though your piss poor performance with that paralegal does cut against my argument. Have you spoken to her yet or is it still at nodding in the hall and chirping "Hi"?

OT sort of, but I would also note that I have had tremendous results from ayurvedic herbal formulas. When I was feeling about 500 years old last year, and perpetually injured, bummed out and lethargic, they made me feel like a 20 yo again. Remarkable.

When I first did traditional Chinese medicine -- really traditional, with the "raw" herbs that you had to boil and drink (including lovely stuff like deer tendon) -- I followed the instructions rigorously. This was because I was still very fucked up from a car accident and desperate to have my leg heal to avoid further surgeries.

Except, I ignored the rule that said "no sex during treatment." Or, more accurately, I interpreted "treatment" as "when the needles are actually in you." Not once did I have sex while there were needles still in me.

Speak for yourself. I've always strived to be the worst of the best. Fourth place gets rounded up, and there's no dishonour in 3.0 average.

I can't. Maybe it was RP who said that 20 minutes of consistent hard pounding was not her favorite. My response was probably: "Perfect, cause I'll only give you about three!"

It amused us, too, and arose over drinks as something funny she had to learn in school. Perhaps the club soda is clouding my memory but, I believe she said less sex is bad and more sex is bad, but it's worse to have less sex. Of course.

I have known her for years, though I have not seen her for a while. As a lark, we had her diagnosis us, and she was spot on about things not obvious which had been diagnosed by our medical doctors . . . by looking at our tongues.

Saying I am anemic, duh. I am skinny, so that would be a safe guess. The other stuff she said was true, but the opposite of what you would think given my actual appearance. Same for the guys.
