In a cozy room with soft lighting and comfortable chairs arranged in a circle, a diverse group of individuals sat, each carrying their own burdens and stories. At the head of the circle sat Dr. Elaine Martinez, a seasoned therapist known for her gentle yet insightful approach to group therapy.

As the session began, Nicole, a sharp-witted woman in her thirties, raised her hand tentatively. "I just don't get it," she confessed. "What's the purpose of attraction anyway? And where's the override button when you need it?"

Dr. Martinez nodded understandingly, inviting others to share their thoughts. FrogManSometimesLooksBothWays chimed in with a cryptic statement about the balance between attraction and repulsion, setting the stage for a discussion that would delve deep into the complexities of human desire.

SteelHands, a man with a scientific mind, offered a detailed explanation involving micropheromones and genetic selection, shedding light on the biological underpinnings of attraction. Meanwhile, SlaveEt, with a hint of sarcasm, reminded the group of the ultimate purpose: "Baby making."

But as the conversation unfolded, it became clear that attraction was not just about procreation. It was a tangled web of emotions, experiences, and societal expectations. Pentacorn likened it to a subconscious drive to propagate the species, while UndercoverBard lamented its status as a human weakness.

Lostpoet, with a touch of humor, suggested a straightforward approach: "Just tell them that you like women." NIC0LE, however, revealed her preference for men, sparking a playful exchange about off-putting suitors and setting boundaries.

Throughout the session, Dr. Martinez guided the group with empathy and insight, helping them unravel the complexities of attraction and its impact on their lives. As the discussion drew to a close, the group found solace in the shared understanding that attraction, with all its quirks and challenges, was simply a part of being human.

As they left the therapy room, each member carried with them a newfound sense of clarity and acceptance, knowing that they were not alone in their struggles with attraction. And though the override button remained elusive, they took comfort in the journey of self-discovery and growth that lay ahead.
