Whatever the reason, this happens all the time and it's ridiculous. I got asked out by the janitor who cleans my work's office (he's around the age of everyone else here, mid-late 20's) and it was...like...wtf dude, we've had THREE conversations, one of which involved me just asking you where to put broken down…

"vagina gets sucked up into my chest cavity" is the phrase I'm going to put into conversation within the next 7 days.

Well hey, that's great!

Dang. That's so sad. I'm sorry :( But I'm sure a cool furby like you is out mingling with the other cool furbies, no?

Interesting. Same here. But now I'm married and have to deal with it. Bleaughhhh.

Wait, so even though she wanted to see other people and you offered an open marriage, she was too caught up with the "right" idea of having a monogamous marriage that she turned your offer down...and then you got divorced anyway? Sorry, I may just not be understanding the story right. But I'm super curious!

THIS. I feel the same way - having a higher sex drive than my husband brings on all sorts of terrible feelings (for both of us). The patriarchy, man. So real. Also has you relationship been like that from the beginning? I'm just discovering that I have a deep desire to have meaningful relationships with other men…

#blessed. Can your husband explain that to my husband, please?

I'm the opposite. Super low need for sex and relationships, just a few longish ones before my husband...now a few years into marriage I'm turning into a sex freak who desperately wants to date other men. Ughhhhhhhhhh. But yeah, it changes over time, I think the idea of everyone being "hardwired" for something or other…

I mean, maybe you're boring, I don't know you (but judging by that picture you posted earlier I'd say not) but I think you're on the right track with the wife just having a "painfully hard time" with monogamy. That's exactly how I feel, and I seriously LOVE my husband. I haven't cheated. And I wont (oh the guilt). And…

I'm worried your wife is me in the future :(

I want your life! I love my husband a ton and never want to be without him but I also find myself making deep connections with other men, over and over again. I have never cheated and feel terrible about these feelings I have for other people but seriously cannot help it. I want so badly to tell my husband "I love…

This is SO good to hear. I've only been married to my husband for a few years and it's the same thing - he's naturally monogamous and I'm realizing that I'm not, and it's been pretty hard. I know that if we got divorced (which I don't want) I would probably have lots more casual relationships than long term ones.…

Yes, because woman could totally just stop rapists by putting "a bullet in their head" and get off scot free under Florida's Stand Your Ground law...oh wait. No, sorry, Marissa Alexander actually has shown that that law is only for men. How much do you want to bet that any woman who shot a man attempting to rape her…

Just want to add to the other comments that say thank you for being so brave and sharing your story. The best way to have real, honest conversations about something is to take it out of the realm of mystery and strangeness and give it a relatable name, face, story. Thank you for being one of the first to do that, to…

I totally agree with you on a personal level - I think if I ever need to be motivated to walk by a fancy pedometer, I will have officially lost my inner measure of health and feeling good. This stuff bothers me because we're at a point where people are so disconnected for their bodies that they honestly don't know…

or maybe a literal kick to the behind that sends someone six feet in the air like a cartoon?

I always point out that us commoners got the luxury of feeling our terrible awkward teenage feelings in private - my songs from that age would have been waaaaay more childish than hers.
