Thank you for saying it, and for the informative link! It was very kind of you :) I’m in a much better place now, which I should have mentioned, but got a bit caught up in soapboxing! I did attempt to “treat” it at one point, but honestly, it was so unpleasant, and I have such a complex about the whole thing that I…

I’m particularly sensitive on that topic - but I don’t do PIV sex. Ever. I have vaginismus, and I am not bothering to “treat” it. I don’t enjoy penetration in that way, so why should I work so hard for something that only gives pleasure to one partner (and generally, something they often feel entitled to)? Admittedly,…

Yep. I hooked up with a friend from high school about 10 years later. We seemed to have fun the first time, but he didn’t seem interested in it happening again (I literally said, “I had fun. I’d like to do this again,” and he said, “Oh.”, which I took as disinterest). I hung out at his apartment, and he seemed…

I live in Northern Europe, and... well, it’s not all as idyllic as all that. I realize you’re exaggerating for the sake of the topic, but I hear this a lot, and I think it’s important for people not to idealize things.

I don’t normally care for Jimmy Fallon that much, but this segment holds a special place:

I would trust food bloggers more if they ever made recipes that they admitted weren’t that great, but it seems that most of the blogs I come across are all raves and how great it was (along with a 6-page story of how they shopped for ingredients before listing said ingredients).

Same! My Instagram is specifically so I don’t flood Facebook with stupid pictures of my dog that all look the same, anyway. And I follow other dog/cat/hedgehog accounts and am delighted by cute pets, or pretty pictures of places (not “travel” ones, but like, artsy photos of landscapes or buildings).

I see that you said you were from Texas, but I was about to ask if you were Minnesotan.

Haha, right? I just wanted that sweet, sweet lesbian cred. And men asking me for threesomes. Awesome.

What a thoughtful response! No, you didn’t make me feel worse in any way, and I’m really sorry if it came off that way. :)

Well, it’s more than the initial situation I described :) As an adult, there are not really that many scenarios (it was more common in high school with shared locker rooms and group things like dance competitions).

It’s not a stupid question! :) Basically, they think that the issue is that I’m trying to force an attraction to women, and that’s why I can’t act on it - essentially, I’m lying to myself.

This has been a concern of mine in the past. Before I “came out”, so to speak, my female friends would be comfortable doing various things in front of me that I know they wouldn’t do in front of male friends. I tried to be aware of some of it (like changing clothes) and consciously not take advantage of the situation,…

When I was taking SSRIs, I started having issues with blacking out while drinking. I wouldn’t be drinking “too much”: I would have a few drinks, be pleasantly buzzed, not even drunk, and I would have no memory of the rest of the evening. What used to be my “limit” was way beyond blackout while I was taking the…

I felt similarly. I still don’t love her music (it’s fine, just not really my taste), but I hope she gets to make it for a long time. She was treated like shit, and I wasn’t savvy enough to see it. I thought she was the one making those choices, and of course, since she was a “sexy lady”, she deserved to be mocked the…

They are just so cute! Shibas are adorable, and I love them, but they need a lot of training and stimulation, I hear, and as cute as they are, I don’t know if I could handle them well! And two?! I can’t imagine what shenanigans they get up to. Thank goodness she’s all right. That sounds like quite the ordeal :/

I love them! I took care of a little ginger cat named Bean, and it’s a great name. Spitz dogs are some of my favorites.

This is an excellent system. I have done similar things, and also just sort of announced that I’m “not a hugger” and step back. I find that that seems to work pretty well on most people: they don’t seem to want to actually chase me. I also smile and tell them that I don’t even hug my own mother, so they can have a…

Yep, I do polyamory with FWB, basically, and I am aware it looks... weird. But I am also upfront about these things when I am interested in someone, because that’s what a responsible person does. If this guy is not openly poly, then his friend-not-friend relationship is... well, let him handle that. Be available if he…

I am someone of the female persuasion, I am into kink (somewhat), and I enjoy being bluntly propositioned. I am also blunt about my propositions, but I gauge my questions to people who seem like they have expressed some kind of interest, and I don’t go full-on specific request. I let them know I’m interested, and ask…
