Ironically, my boyfriend is tall and fairly wealthy and attractive (or at least I think he is), but what attracted to me to him before I knew any of that was us bonding over comics and anime on the internet. If it wasn't for that, I never would have ended up dating him.

It's hard to give a shit about that, though, when I'm working the closing shift and I know I'm going be stuck there anywhere from half an hour to a whole hour past when my shift is supposed to end, likely without a break because my boss keeps under-scheduling us, so if I get a break that means we'll be overrun. The…

You're forgetting the best part of the poem, that's kind of the punchline and addresses that patriarchal protection trope: "To the GIRLS who may one day date my daughter- my wife is a better shot than me."

Uniform: Boat shoes without socks, pastels. Salmon colored shorts. Sailing motifs.

I talked to him about it the other day and he's not worried about it. I hope he's right (to be fair, he's been right about just about everything in our relationship so far...).

My boyfriend and his wife started out as being monogamous, but then later opened their relationship because his wife is bisexual and that way she could explore that side of her sexuality. As it turns out, no strings attached sex wasn't really a thing she could do and that turned into a discussion of polyamory. Fast…

Yeah, relevant advice regarding that would be great. I'm monogamous, while my boyfriend and his wife are both poly. I know that he's interested in eventually having a threesome if his wife and I are both ok with it. I know that I would pretty much be the deciding factor there because his wife is also bisexual while I…

This article is hilariously well timed. I recently entered into a poly relationship with a married man (his wife is also poly and has a girlfriend). He's a gamer and has been playing Mass Effect obsessively lately, so I had to chuckle at the ME reference. I'm currently mono in our relationship, but I think I shall…

We talked and he seems to be 100% sure that it's not going to be a problem. He was like, "If that attraction isn't there, ok then you'll have fun for a week with some of your best friends, but dear I don't think that's going to be a problem." -_-U

That's a good idea. I mean, I've voiced my concern about what if there's no chemistry irl, but he's pretty sure that that's not going to be a problem. Well at least he's sure on his end, and I think the main thing he's nervous about with us finally meeting irl is if I don't feel that chemistry on my end. We didn't…

That's interesting. I've been with guys before who I didn't find conventionally attractive, but they smelled really good to me and that made a difference in my relationship with them. On the flip side, I am physically very attracted to my LD boyfriend in addition to being in love with him through the emotional…

Yeah, that's why I've always been pretty iffy about online dating. My current relationship was totally accidental. We became friends on tumblr and then it snowballed from there. I suppose if the physical stuff doesn't translate when I go stay with him for spring break, I'll at least get a vacation with one of my best…

Fortunately, there's a dom/sub aspect of our relationship and so far we have been so very compatible there. I still get all squirmy (in a good way!) thinking about the first time he dommed me on the phone. The lurking fear about the smell thing is really the only sexual worry I have regarding him- this whole past…

He's been wonderful for my self-esteem. It's not like I've needed a partner for validation or anything, but having someone call me sexy every day certainly doesn't hurt. And the tingly feelings are definitely there. He's the first guy that I've ever actually known that I've thought about when masturbating- he's soooo…

Oh wow, I couldn't imagine doing this for two years first. My boyfriend and I have been together for a month now, though it feels like forever. I might go insane if I had to wait that long. I'm so grateful for skype, though. It definitely makes the distance drop away at least a little.

We've talked and I think his biggest nerves are about me and my feelings. While I love him, he fell in love with me first (he apparently had a crush on me for like a month before acting on it) and he's been the party that's been pushing things along in this relationship. Consequently, he seems to be more worried about…

I use organic shampoo and when I shower I use it on my pubes a bit, but that's about all I do there. Well, that and after shave whenever I tidy up around the edges. I haven't had a guy's opinion on that particular smell down there yet (haven't slept with anyone since I started doing that), but unless he doesn't mind a…

Yeah, that's what I'm counting on. That lurking fear in the back of my head, though, is persistent.

Lol, I'm just glad my boyfriend is a-ok with pubic hair. We're poly and he actually told me that between me and his other partner, bare vulvas actually look weird to him now. I have the feeling that being with this guy over time is going to do wonders for my various sexual insecurities.

I'm in a LDR right now- we met online, became friends, became more than friends, and at this point he's now the first person that I've ever been in love with. Next month we'll be meeting in person for the first time (he lives 8 hours away from me, so I'm spending my spring break with him) and I'm terrified about our…
