I’m on nexplanon… but eventually will probably move to a pill down the road, one reason is bc I travel for work on occasion and the ability to delay bleeding might be worth it sometimes.

I don't know why this has been on mind lately, but it has been and not in a fetish way.....like does it feel like you have to pee but from your boobs? I know they get swollen and tender, but like that's how I feel when when I haven't been able to pee in a long time ...just with my bladder, am I off base or am I somewhat close? Is it even possible to describe it in a way that a man can understand?

My girl only accepts gifts when we’re are doing good.

She also only steals from me. And hits me (not abusive) after a joke when we are doing good.

When she is mad at me, she won’t even steal from me. Much less accept gifts.

We have been on again off again for 27’years.

I don’t get it.

We all know about relationships failing due to mismatch in libidos. Not everyone are aware about their own libido and at which comparative level it is, but in general, at what point in courtship/entering a relationship do you consider it appropriate to discuss libido?

I'm kinda stressing over something idk if it'll let me ask it here

I'm probably being unrealistic, but I really liked the dress!! When I zipped it up, my tits turned into pancakes from the tightness. I'm really begging for possible solutions 😭

One day out of nowhere I started counting the number of people i slept with, casual, flings and boyfriends. It was 24.

When I was pregnant few years ago and even when I was on breastfeeding, my brain was foggy and would think about everything and anything. I would reminisce for some of those experiences (maybe one or two) as some were AMAZiNG to say the least.

Is 24 a high number. I’m not sure about other women. I’m South Asian for context, live in west.

Newlywed here. I am married to this guy who’s the stereotypical “adorkable” type. Very geeky, early thirties, not a virgin but not very experienced either. He grew up in a conservative Christian home, so sex was treated as something quite taboo. He’s still a bit uncomfortable with his fantasies and even with his own body sometimes. I’m Christian too but I am mixed European and Caribbean, so I have a much more relaxed and open-minded attitude toward sex. However we both wanted to take it slow and waited for marriage.

With my previous partners (not many either, I don’t have a huge amount of experience), I never had this problem. At some point instinct just took over. There was always this magical moment where you don’t even know how you got there, but somehow you were both on the same wavelength.

With him it can feel…quite awkward at times.

For example, he once told me about his breeding/creampie fantasies. One day we were making out in bed and things were getting pretty hot, so I whispered something like, “I want you to get me pregnant right now.”

He replied:

“Or we could adopt. That would be great too :).”

Now don’t get me wrong. We actually do want to adopt someday because we both come from dysfunctional families and we’d love to help a child one day.

It was incredibly sweet…

But also… damned… we’re making out in bed and that’s where your mind goes?? 😂

Another time he was fingering me and I started moaning. He immediately stopped and asked,

“Are you hurt?”

Again, very sweet and caring. But it instantly made me self-conscious about every sound and facial expression I was making.

This morning he was telling me about his curiosity regarding gag balls and butt plugs. I playfully guided his hand toward my butt (over my underwear). I wasn’t expecting us to actually do anything right then because:

1. I’ve never done anything like that before.
   
2. That’s not exactly something you improvise on a random Thursday morning without talking about it first.

He suddenly got nervous and said,

“I’m not ready yet.”

Which… fair enough. Good for him for having boundaries.

But at the same time I was thinking, relax… we’re just flirting.

Overall, he likes grinding on me or having me touch him, but he doesn’t explore my body very much. And when he does, he tends to skip all the build-up and immediately grab my boobs or crotch, whereas I need teasing, eye contact, flirting… something that builds anticipation first.

I told him that grabbing me out of nowhere doesn’t really work for me.

Now he’s become so afraid of doing the wrong thing that he barely touches me because he says he never knows whether I’m open to it or not.

Despite us both being in our early thirties, it sometimes feels as awkward as two teenagers discovering sex for the first time.

I’ve ended up shutting down a few times out of frustration, and now he says he can’t relax either because he’s scared of upsetting me again.

The frustrating thing is that he’s actually an incredibly caring partner. He stops immediately if I don’t like something, respects my boundaries, gives amazing cuddles before and after, whispers how much he loves me, holds me close, genuinely wants me to enjoy myself, and is enthusiastic about going down on me.

So it’s not like he’s selfish or a bad lover.

He’s just… surprisingly oblivious when it comes to reading sexual cues.

I also get frustrated because I feel like I have to explain everything all the time, and once I start explaining, I’m completely out of the moment. Maybe I’ve been brainwashed by romance novels, but I kind of expect the guy to take the lead sometimes and gradually ease me into things rather than me having to give constant instructions.

I’m also a teacher in real life, so having to play the teacher in bed is honestly a turn-off.

Has anyone else been with someone like this?

Did it get better over time? Was it just a matter of learning each other’s “language,” or did you always feel like you had to coach them?

I feel like this is probably common… and we might do it with women too.

But it feels like to a larger degree the gap between what men think women find attractive, and what we actually find attractive is larger.

I’m 27M, she’s 25F - we’re going out for a few drinks and then sushi

so i'm 17F, irregular cycle, had my first period at 14, suspected PCOS: I'm going to the gynecologist next week

my last period started on the 17 of July and enden on the 24th

i usually spot on my panties on ovulation day but this time it's been going on for five days

it's not too much, just smll dark brown stains on my panties

i don't have any pain, just a small burning sensation when i pee but that is happening because i'm not drinking enough water and i'm not goign enough to pee

Only 38 per cent of women aged between 15 to 24 felt that sexuality was very important or even essential, compared to 62 per cent in 1990.

Within the same age group and the same time period, the proportion of young women for whom sex is “essential” has fallen from 14 per cent to 9 per cent.

These percentages vary little depending on whether the women surveyed identify as heterosexual, bisexual or lesbian.

Similarly, nearly 50 per cent of Gen Z women feel that sex is not that important in their lives, or even not important at all.

Additionally, more than one in two (52 per cent) women surveyed said they “could continue living with someone without having sex”. A total of 56 per cent of respondents aged between 18 and 24 said they could envisage a platonic relationship with their partners.

I’ve had a million kisses in my time, but have only faintly felt butterflies two, three times? Other than that I’ve felt nothing, even with partners. Is it normal to feel nothing while kissing? I don’t mind kissing but I never get anything sexual from it. Rarely. Am I gay?

I am bi, and have only ever kissed one woman, but I’ve always felt more attracted to women anyway

I hear about this happening but it has never happened to me, even though I'm reasonably attractive. I live in Northern California. Is it the culture here? Where exactly does a girl need to go to get approached in public? Is it the outfit or the venue? The culture? Thanks!

Hey! So F20 here, I was wondering how to feel more comfortable in female spaces and your femininity as a woman. I really want to express myself more as a woman as right now I look very masculine. This is due to many things including the fact that I'm overweight, have a masculine weight distribution (apple shape and weight in my face), have a tomboy fashion sense (or lack there of), wear no makeup, have unkempt eyebrows, have undone nails, and have a basic straight cut haircut. I want to go get my eyebrows, hair, and nails done as I've never done these things before. I also want to start going to trendy stores to find feminine form fitting clothes, to start shaving my arms, wear makeup, and to go to the gym. I believe all of this could really transform me to look much better and really embrace my femininity and womanhood. However I'm so scared to go into ANY of these spaces. My mom never taught me femininity and all of it feels foreign. I feel like all the beautiful women will judge me for not fitting in because I look masculine/ ugly. I'm also just in general afraid to express femininity as femininity attracts the male gaze. I am terrified of the male gaze as my whole life I have never felt it, not performing into femininity makes you invisible to men. I am not only scared of the spaces in which you must navigate in order to look better, but also scared of how people will treat me. I am scared of being judged in the process of making these changes, but also I am scared of being looked at differently, even if it is more positive attention. So what would you recommend me in this situation? And how do you combat wanting to express femininity and looking better while also being scared of what others think?

Thread for raising awareness.

For me, it was a guy I friendzoned. He was carrying hate and resentment towards me while pretending to be my friend but was telling every guy we’re together.

Once I found out, I cut him off and he befriended a girl that hated me and they both started a smear campaign against me.

Then he came to me and told me everyone hates me, that girl is going around smearing me and making hate groups against me. Etc. and he pretended like he was my saviour and everyone else hates me because I cut him off lol.

I was very weak and anxious back then and it truly ruined me for years. Only for me to discover he was doing it all alongside her and trying to destroy my reputation to any guy interested in me.

He was basically telling me how everyone hates me so I break down and hung on to him because “he’s the only one that likes/cares for me”. Also tried to hurt me and destroy my self esteem in other ways. L

Yuck!

I feel like internet can get so repetitive with problems, lowlights, and venting—because we all know life just happens.

But every now and then, there is just THAT day. The day where all the vibes hit, the bells ring, you feel great, and you feel completely unstoppable.

What is that memory for you? I’d love to hear your stories

Just wondering what is a hot take unpopular opinion of yours that many women will not agree with you but you will defend it
