As someone who recently was forced to break up with the love of their life because of sex addiction, I am genuinely getting something valuable out of the Last Resort. I realize it’s trash, it’s completely wild they encourage the cast to drink on a ‘therapy retreat’, the therapists themselves are hacks, and a ton of it is scripted.
However, watching Asuelu’s behavior, which might typically be excused away as normal shitty masculinity, be described as the result of a serious addiction, and seeing someone as beautiful as Yara ask herself the same exact questions I’ve asked myself for 4+ years over & over again, has been both triggering and very helpful for me personally. I’m sending my best hopes that both Yara and Kalani realize their inherent worth and make the best decisions for THEMSELVES at this point. I’m also hoping other people out there watching the show in similar situations realize 1) sex addiction is as real as any other addiction and 2) they deserve happiness and to be in control of their lives.
Guess that’s why they call it the learning channel 🤷🏼♀️
Here’s my take on Jovi. Jovi is an all around alright dude for the most part. He works a lot to bring home a pretty good paycheck and even though he works long hours while away, he’s used to doing what he wants without the consideration of others. I don’t remember, but also seems like he’s an only child. I’m the youngest child, youngest and only children can relate to some scale, and I can be incredibly selfish at times despite usually thinking of others the vast majority of the time.
He hasn’t learned that there are no trade-offs for good behavior for a period of time, he just needs to be good and do the right thing for the sake of it. Add selfish tendencies to drunkenness and you have quite a fire that’s hard to put out. He needs to get off the sauce and he wouldn’t be such an ass at times. He’s constantly bargaining for the excuse to fuxk it all up here and there and healthy families (and men) don’t operate like that. I’m about the same age as him, have had some of the same problems, so yeah I’m projecting 100% but don’t feel that far off.
