I think experiencing sexual pleasure, you know, the days and weeks after you stopped using the substance that you're addicted to is either not possible or a bad idea. Yeah. Yeah. But once you get into months down the line, and certainly once you get into years down the line, sure, sure. There are very few people offering actual structured strategies That bring people together to discuss it and bring people together to experience some form of bodily pleasure. I'm not necessarily talking about sex in the kind of fucking sucking way, but there's very little. And I say there's some work going on in Berlin and I am extremely interested in learning about that and kind of piloting it in, um, in the UK. But again, if anyone's doing that sort of work, gimme a shout because, um, it's very much up for, up for grabs and development at the moment. Yeah.
