I keep coming back and rereading your comment to me and feeling better somehow. Thank you very much for your support. A star wasn't enough, you've really improved my week :) Here is a baby ferret for your goodnessness:

Well, yes and no. I think it should be enough for someone to say, "No, I can't do this because it's triggering for me. I don't/can't talk more about it right now, but please respect my boundaries." I think that should be enough for a "no more questions asked" sort of thing unless the other party brings it up and wants

I am married and, yes, I've talked with him about it and it's a thing that requires on-going communication. The thing that is so hard to understand that people don't get is that in a healthy, adult relationship it should not have to be 100% fair, tit-for-tat. It should be more about weighing what's more important - my

If she's willing to work on it for him great. If she isn't willing to work on it and he's willing to go without it, great. If neither will budge then yes they should end or open the relationship.

Forced BJ = sexual assault

nothing is a bigger turnoff than a partner pestering you into something you're not comfortable with. I had an ex who did this (When I was a teenager so everything was new and a little uncomfortable) and it made me never want to have sex with him again. For me it's: ask me ONCE, and I will do it, OR, I will think

See, I think the point you're missing is that sex isn't an exact quid pro quo act. You can go down on me, I can do something else pleasurable to you. I can go down on you, you can get me off some other way.

There are other ways she can make him "climb the walls" than her having his dick in her mouth, bro.

If I told my husband that I wasn't comfortable with a particular sexual act and his response was "that is such a turn-off", I might never have sex with him again.

When I was first dating a guy a while back, he finished in my mouth after I specifically requested he didn't. "Oh, it was just so good. I couldn't help myself!" he said. Meanwhile, he came so much. . . and it tasted so bad that I was left with blow job PTSD for the duration of our relationship.

Wait, are you arguing that not LITERALLY all men pursue younger women, so therefore the notion that men, as a class, pursue younger women is bogus? Stop arguing with strawwomen.

Wow, ol' Bowb is really doing his best to trip you up with his bizarre philosophical inquiries, hahaha. He has an agenda. Dismiss.

The experiences of every woman with a step-mother who's younger than they are or the women whose ex-husbands re-marry women decades their junior, among others. Those women. They exist, in multitudes. It's really nice that you like women your own age, and understand the societal influence, but stop acting like we're

How is it beneficial to both parties? I don't need a man's financial resources. The power differential doesn't benefit women. An old man's yucky sperm don't benefit a young woman. Neither does the fact he'll leave her widowed at an even younger age than most women. A woman hitting her sexual stride doesn't benefit

No, I'm attracted to some younger men, but I do consider men closer to my own age or older to be more attractive (and as it turned out those actors were playing much younger characters), which is what this is about. This study launched a conversation about our experiences, many of which are largely in line with these

Listen. I've had to imdb an actor's birthday or two in my day (and then breathe a sigh of relief, that guy from Gossip Girl, whew boy), but I wouldn't say that I consider men to be most attractive at a stagnant young age. You're all over this post, you must feel very passionately about being attracted to very young

Because I don't want to be with a man who won't consider women his own age.

Yeah, I'll I'm going to say is that if you're constantly waiting for the perfect collusion of circumstances in which to have a relationship, it's probably not going to happen. You are looking into the future and only seeing the possibilities for things that could go wrong.
What if you met someone who was more than

So ... because you don't want to commit, in other words. Also you are not over 30.
