The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:
-
Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.
-
Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.
-
Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.
-
Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).
Jump in the discussion.

Notes -
The line that always stayed with me from this comic arc was "Instead, they'll just be stuck with her.", but "I hope you're listening to yourself." works here too.
Less patronizingly: How does "I want to explore kinky sex." cash out for you? If it really has to involve other partners then Syreen might not be able to help, but for anything other than that, "my best friend in the whole world", "intense and wonderful conversations", and especially "accepting of my quirks" sound like they describe a hell of a good place to start talking. People have their boundaries in different places, "a feather would be kinky but the whole chicken would just be perverted" as the old joke goes, but if the worst you expect is a "no" rather than an "ew, what is wrong with you" then you might as well find out hers.
