I laughed during sex and now im embarassed

So this happened today. Me (18m) and my girlfriend (18f) were having sex and I just started laughing for no reason at all. She probably thinks that its because of her but I assured her that it wasnt and I have no idea why I was laughing. This put a halt to things and I was super ashamed and embarrassed. I told her how embarassed I was and she kept telling me to get over it. Now every time we have sex im going to think about this and im scared its going to happen again. Is this normal?

Bleeding / period induced early during sex?

I'm (20F) seeing a gyno this week to get more clarity, but wanted to see if anyone on here has experienced anything similar before. In the past 2 months I've been having sex more frequently with different partners (previously was very infrequently, but I haven't been a virgin for quite a few yrs now). First encounter - A couple days before my period, started bleeding heavily during sex, clots and all (yikes). Bleeding lasted for about 4 days after, felt like a normal period with a heavy beginning. I assumed it was induced by sex, which I've read can happen. Second & third encounter - A week after period and everything was fine. No bleeding during or after. Fourth encounter - Two weeks before next estimated period, started bleeding during sex, clots and all again! It seems like the bleeding has slowed down, don't know if it feels like a full blown period yet... (This just happened recently and is the cause for my concern) I'm a bit traumatized cause now...

Men of reddit, have you ever been faced with not being able to finish during sex?

So I usually have a pretty average stamina I would feel, but for my past 3 encounters I was never able to finish. I kept it up the whole time and play was very involved/stimulating but I would go until the two of us just tired out and decided to call it a night, usually between 2 and 3 hours in. Tried many positions and acts and i stay pretty turned on but never any closure. I don't have any trouble when I'm alone but this is kinda baffling me. Any suggestions?

/u/riko_rikochet on (Very long) This has been a very difficult few months for me, and it all exploded in my face this week. I want to talk about it.

How are you are you will never meet 'the one'? I mean, isn't it just possible you have a very high standard? You're hetersexual right? Why don't you start dating people of your same gender? How can you know that you won't meet "the one"? Maybe you just have very high standards when it comes to people your same gender. September 16, 2019 at 12:09AM

You just kind of know. There's something you can't really put into words, like an inherent incompatibility or disinterest. I can relate to that completely. That's a good description. I'm an aromantic asexual and it's like this active feeling of "No thank you" whenever I look at anyone. Friends, sure. Anything more - nope. September 16, 2019 at 12:07AM

Me (M 16) and my girlfriend (F 15) split up and I feel responsible for the dark path she’s going down. How do I deal with this? Can I help her?

Just a couple weeks ago my girlfriend broke up with me because she felt like she would be happier being single and not worrying what I think about certain things and such. Im okay with it but it really does suck especially since it was so sudden, but I’ll be okay. As long as she’s happy is what matters. We dated for about 11 months. At the beginning of those months she told me that drinking had caused her to go into a deep depression and asked me too never drink. I have no interest in drinking or drugs so I agreed and she said she would do the same. She left her best friend a while before we got together because she was turning into a druggy and a sex addict but about a month we broke up they became friends again. Her mom even had a stroke from smoking. Drugs have negatively impacted her life so much and she hated them but right after we broke up she started smoking weed and drinking. She’s going down a dark path but we don’t talk anymore and I can’t stop it. I love her so much and I...

I find it odd, and a bit disappointing, that I'm not part of my [22M] friend's [21F] wider social plans. Not sure how to talk to her about it.

I have a friend [21F] at university with some social habits that confuse me. I'm autistic so I might be missing something obvious, so I thought I'd ask here. She's about to move from undergrad to postgrad, and she's lately been talking to me a lot about how she doesn't want there to be cliques forming among the students. For context, postgrad courses often only have a handful of people on them who form cliques and there is often not a lot of interaction between students on different courses. I've just completed the course she's about to start, and in my year there wasn't a lot of that going on and a lot of staff commented on how we'd bucked the trend by making an effort to get to know each other. It's great that she wants to emulate that, but I have two concerns that I'd quite like to talk to her about. The first is making that happen. I'm not sure how aware of it she is, but she's rather cliquey herself. She has two main cliques, ...

I (27m) am falling in love with a girl (27f) who already has a boyfriend but sends (weak) signals. What should i do?!

So long story short. There was this girl at work who i work a lot with. We’ve been jokingly during work a lot of times. Her parents kinda know me and her mother keeps telling me I am sweet and very nice and how she would like if i was the boyfriend of this girl lol. It was just all just for jokes and giggles (I think). Ive promised myself i wont fall in love or date anyone anymore from work. Oh yea, besides she has a boyfriend. Thats automatically a no go for me. However the last few days she just keeps popping up in my mind. Because I quit working at the place, I wanted to keep hanging out with me people i got befriended with. So me and this girl go jogging every now and time. After the first time jogging she wont leave my head. She messaged me the day after that how her leggs hurt and what not and keeps asking whens the next time we will jog again. So there was this party and she was there too. I keep having the feeling she was looking at me from time to time when. When we walked ...

My (M29) girlfriend (31) is tired of me bringing up the “little things” to her and ends up being dismissive about how I feel.

We have been together for a little over two years, and when things are good they are great, and when they aren't they are pretty bad. We live in a studio apartment and fight a lot. Yesterday it was about the laundry because when she washes sheets she will sometimes put too many in at once and the weight won't be distributed properly and the machine will start shaking and making loud noises. In the past I have brought this stuff up in a mean way, but I have learned to try and approach it more tactfully. She thinks the stuff I bring up is stupid and doesn't matter where as in the case of the washing machine I feel it's bad for the machine and frustrating as we live in a studio and when it's shaking and loud basically ends up upending whatever is going on at the moment. She won't even acknowledge this part though until we have literally fought for over a half an hour, because she gets very worked up and takes thing extremely saying things like 'I'm not stu...

How do I know when a hookup is more than a hookup?

I'm (24F) and I met this girl at work (21F) a few weeks ago. We hit it off based on the fact we realized both of us were gay, and we had drinks one night to get to know each other further (at this point, we were good friends/work buddies despite not knowing each other long at all). The next week she invited me to her apartment as a 'Netflix Night' and ended up sleeping together. We talked a lot before the hook up happened though, and had a pretty 'intense' pillow talk afterwards. A couple days later I came over again while her roommate was still on vacation and we slept with each other again, same intense feelings and overall a feeling of "this feels more than just sex". Def not a "hit it and quit it situation". We cuddled and talked a lot about our backgrounds, past relationships, and insecurities as well as hobbies and stuff like that. We do actually have a lot in common. We don't text everyday because both of us still work at the same co...

Is there any way to know if he(33m)truly likes me(27f)?

I have really low self-esteem due to being hurt in the past. I can never tell if someone really likes me or they just see me as an option. I met this really great guy. He tells me a lot that he really, really likes me too. He’s always very considerate. He has given me a beautiful necklace. Also a bracelet of his that I am wearing “as long as I keep dating him, “ We’ve known each other 2 weeks but we’ve spent every practically every day together, sleep overs. I am recently out of a relationship. So he said that he understands and he’s willing to go slow. On about the fifth time we hang out he asked me if we are exclusive. He says that he doesn’t want to see anyone else, He lives next door to his folks and I met his father, but kept missing his mother when he visited. So today he took me to go visit his mom at her work just to pop in and said hi, so I’ve met her He always says I rock and “how did I get so lucky?” He told me I’m his favorite person right now and he’s smitten and fi...

I (38M) have been thinking of ending things with the person (34F) I have been seeing, but the passing of her grandmother has complicating the situation.

I have been seeing K for about 2 months. We have been spending a lot of time together and have gotten pretty affectionate, but we have not had a talk about exclusivity or putting a label on things. I have been having my doubts about our relationship. I am starting to feel like our personalities and communication styles don’t really mesh. Also, she wants to have a kid within 2 years due to a reproductive issue that is limiting her child bearing years and plans to have one on her own (through a sperm donor) if she doesn’t find herself with a suitable mate by then. For me to be okay with this timeline, my feelings for her would have to develop quickly, but I am not seeing that happen. I really do like spending time with her but I don’t feel like love is developing. In addition, I was not actively looking on dating apps, but had also not yet deactivated my accounts. Recently someone messaged me that seems to check almost every box (More so than K, if I had to quantify). We talked for a ...

I'm really hurting and just don't know anymore

Ok so I'm writing this through the tears, they have been falling for the last 3 days and I just need to get it off my chest. 2 and a half years ago I met this amazing man. And I know everyone says that but after everything I had been through I finally felt this was the reason why I went through it all. We have been through so much including long distance with no contact, financial struggles that I helped him through no questions asked. He has even told me a number of times that I am the only one who has ever been there for him when no one else has. Now I know he suffers with depression and it is an ugly monster and he knows I'm always going to be there to support him. But he has started pushing me away. Talking about taking time no contact with anyone. I personally see this as self destruction and could do more harm then good but it's then turned back on me about the pressure it puts in him. If he ment everything he said all the plans he made not me, everything he spoke ab...

Gf(27f) leaving me(28m) after 5 years and I need some help

I'm about to turn 29, me and my girlfriend had been together for 5 1/2 years, the last year and a half, we have lived together for 3 and 1/2 of those years. I had been struggling more with my issues with travel anxiety, and depression, I had also started drinking more. We had been getting distant but I thought things would work out in time. She had been telling me she wanted more consistentncy and me to make more of an effort and I thought I had been but I know I could have done much more. Last Tuesday morning she told me she was going to be moving out and couldn't be with me anymore, I immediately panic and try and talk with her but there's no changing her mind. She is being gentle about everything and says she wants me to work on myself and be better to myself so I can be a better partner and there may be a chance we can reconcile. These past few days have been almost endless pain and feeling surreal and sick. I've barely eaten and already lost 10 pounds, sleep is ...

When is the point to end a LDR even though you still love them? [F20, M21]

So.. I don't intend to end things soon because well I love this guy. He's cute, smart, pretty, funny and all that. But he does live a 6hour train ride away. Our first chance at moving in together/closer would be when one of us is done with college - in 2,5 years. We see each other about once in a month for a few days because we just don't have the time or the money for more frequent visits. (We've been together for 1,5 years now) When I'm with him it's all great. I mean yeah we do have some arguments, our sex could sometimes be better but it's basically forgotten when we get to cuddle. But when I'm not with him.. I don't know some times it's ok and I can deal with it. But now I'm once again in a phase where it's terrible. I'm pretty sure it also has a lot to do with the next semester starting in a month so I'm at home with nothing to do. Anyways. During the day he won't text me much because he either needs to study or he w...

My (22F) strict family ruins my life and i don't know what to do

Basically my issue is my family and their strict rules/education i have to deal with. Im not allowed to do much and it affects me because they don't seem to let me grow and become an adult. Im 22 now and i still can't go out...ever, except when i go to school but my time is counted (they make sure to get my schedule every year). Im also sent to the grossery shop pretty often but here again cannot take long. Staying at home alone for too long (few hours) is not possible either, they're probably scared i'd go out or something. I can't have money at all so when im back from the grossery shop i gotta give them the rest of money plus the receipts which is so embarrassing. I'm not allowed to work as well. I have a bank account but i've never had access to it simply because im not allowed to. I've actually never even seen my credit card. They're very close minded to the point where im not allowed to have friends. They say your only friends are your famil...

I (20M) am having trouble being patient with my gf’s (20F) difficulties communicating.

(Long time follower on my other account. Sorry if I formatted incorrectly) We’ve been dating for a year and a half. I love her very much and she has a wonderful heart. We’re silly and affectionate and most everything is great. I knew going into the relationship that she was shy and quiet. She had opened up a little in the time we were going out before deciding to go steady, but was still very quiet. At first I took this as a benefit. I’m very talkative and I often need to be reminded to take some time to be quiet, but as we are getting more serious and are growing up, Im finding that she is quiet to a fault. When something makes her upset, she will pout about it forever. I can tell she’s upset, but she denies it. I’ll keep asking her to open up until I feel like the bad guy, at which point she’ll see I’m becoming upset and start to talk. In the 6ish months of knowing communication is hard for her, we’ve reduced the time it takes from the initial upset to starting to talk from about a...

My(21m) Girlfriend(19F)m Stripped For Her college friends

I have been dating her since past 3months and we like each other a lot and enjoy sex and are happy with each other ​ This Weekend I went to camping with her where 2 of her guy friends came along whom I don't know them per say apart from their names and general information, that's about it. While we were camping there was a bonfire we were drinking and playing games and everyone was having fun. She suddenly took a shot of whiskey and started dancing and taking her clothes off one after the another while those 2 friends of hers are still sitting with us and then she got completely naked and those 2 guys were in awe of her and I was shocked af as what has just happened as I was in a different tent making drinks for everyone and when I entered the common area that is what I saw, her being completely naked in front of her friends and dancing ​ Upon when I asked her later she said she didn't notice that her friends were still there and she was in the groove of the moment and...

Does my [18F] friend [18M] like me or am I just being to hopeful?

Hi! I’ve known this guy since middle school, became close friends in high school, and are now even closer at university. He’s super introverted plus he’s never had any experience with a girl, so I really can’t analyze what he says and does half the time. I really like him and have been taking the flirting up a notch, but I can’t tell if any of these are signs that he likes me or if it’s just him being sweet: -He saw my ID inside the case of my phone and snatched it out saying “how do you look so good in this picture, I look terrible in mine!” (Even though I think my picture is quite terrible too haha) -He showed up at my apartment the other day wearing a hat and I told him it looked good on him and now he’s been wearing it the last two times we hung out -We were talking about a high school friend and I said the guy was perfect (in a sense that he just checks all the boxes, not that I’m interested in him) and he was super surprised, teasing me about “having a crush” on the kid but seem...
