My former roommate had a cat. I (26F) was sad when she moved out, but glad to have the cat gone. There was constantly cat hair everywhere, cat litter and cat food pebbles stuck to the bottom of your feet. In March, a new girl (25F) moved in, someone the second girl knew personally (we live in a 3 bedroom). At some point or another I assume she heard me mention how I was glad to have the cat gone, because she waited about 90 days to bring up the idea of a dog. I politely shut it down referencing the issues I'd had with the cat, its hair, having litter box and cat tower in the shared living spaces. She said she understood and things were fine after that. A few months later she brings it up, with an outline of how she will make sure to clean up after them, have all dog stuff in her room etc. She is medicated bipolar (she now reveals) and a dog will be really beneficial for her mental health. It will not be a big dog and she will only be fostering so it won't be all the time. It ...

Hi everyone! After recently taking a sexology course as an elective to my law major, I've stumbled across many biases, myths and misperceptions regarding sex. One that really stood out to me was the way that media has cultivated the way we view sex in regards to "performance" and things that "need to happen" in order for something to qualify as sex. Besides most heteronormative narratives regarding sex that mainstream media imposes upon us, leading many to believe that vaginal sex and penetration are the only "true" forms of sex, media's portrayal of (heterosexual) intercourse has distorted our expectations to such an extent that the way a lot of young people have sex, changes accordingly, too*. After personally reviewing a few "classic" tween movies involving sex, I've come to the conclusion that many major (Hollywood) productions portray males as sexual beings who are not only always looking for and in the mood for sex, but can a...

Hi all, So I’m a 27 year old male, been dating the same girl for a year and a half. In the last month or so I’ve just lost all interest in sex. I use to be horny 24/7 and we would have sex at least 5 times a week and I’d masturbate every day. Now I’m not interested in either. I’m not stressed at work, she hasn’t done anything to upset me, I just am not horny. I’m still having sex when she tries to initiate so I don’t hurt my girlfriends feelings or make her feel unloved and once I am hard I can perform but I feel disconnected and indifferent to if I’d had sex or not, like it feels good but I don’t feel any more satisfied or relaxed that if I’d had sex or not. I’ve tried watching some porn and it doesn’t really do it for me at all at the moment either. Just for some more info, I’m pretty fit, train at the gym 4 days a week, play sports, eat well and work 6 days a week. External factors in my life haven’t changed for the past 2 years. Could this just be a passing thing or should I g...

My gf and I have been together since were about 17 (now 21) in HS and I have never thought of doing anything else with anyone. However recently I have the desire to go to a brothel to experience something new in addition they are is no strings attached. I love my gf loads and am unsure weather my actions will later cause me to feel regret, but I still find my self contemplating whether to go for it or nuh.

I've been dating this girl for more than a year now and she's genuinely nice and caring. We'll go to third base pretty often but she never wants to have sex. It's very disappointing that I've been turned down so many times. We've talked about the reason behind it to see how we can solve the problem but it hasn't helped at all. She told me that growing up in an Indian household, the topic of sex was taboo and that makes her feel weird about having sex. So when we started dating, she said it would take time for her to grow past that. But it's been a year and nothing has changed. I'm very sexual in nature and not having had sex in a long time makes me crave it even more. On the other hand, I don't feel okay breaking up because she won't have sex with me. Somehow it feels like I would be doing something wrong if I did that. How should I approach this situation? Submitted November 23, 2019 at 12:00AM I've been dating this girl for mor...

Basically I’m hoping for some advice to get me over all this. TL;DR for the background: I’m 26M and my dating experience is virtually non-existent (Just went on a date for the first time last year. Have only ever gotten to a second date once and didn’t manage to go further) So how do I get over this? Like, I want to find someone special to date and everything, but at the same time I also realize for a multitude of reasons I am not mentally/emotionally capable of dating right now. This stuff gets stuck in my head way too frequently, and I want to figure out how to move past this crap so that maybe someday I’ll actually be able to try dating again Submitted November 22, 2019 at 11:41PM Basically I’m hoping for some advice to get me over all this.

Sorry the long paragraph I’ve (17M) been talking and hanging out with this girl(17) since the beginning on senior year. We hangout almost everyday and talk everyday several times a day. We do everything that a couple does besides the sexual stuff. We go out to lunch/dinner, we watch Netflix together, she’ll curl up against me and just let me give her a head rub when we’re parked in my car, she goes out of her way to talk and hang out with me, as well as just give me actual hugs everyday. On the way out of school she’ll sometimes put her arm around mine or hold my hand. She’ll go and playfully suck frosting/ cool whip off my fingers. As well as try to “a lady and the tramp spaghetti scene” with random food like cookies and pizza crust and even bobo tea ball things. We’re also planning on going to the same college together as well. A friend told me that when he sees us together, that we actually look good together and that she looks really into me. The problem is that she’s “dating” a ...

Not sure who'll read this but need some serious help or advice. Basically, i had a girl who i was friends with for years, we went to school together then in our last year of secondary we got a bit closer but didnt start dating because i was an idiot and didnt realise how much i loved her till it was too late and she kinda ended things for me as in she basically broke up with herself for me even tho i didnt want it to end. A couple years later i still cant stop thinking about her because, i know it sounds corny, but we she was perfect and we had so much in common and had great chenistry and anyway i really wish there was someway we could try it again and see how an actual relationships would be. I doubt she still even thinks about it all at all but i think a part of her might do. The point im trying to make is i just really wish there was someway i could be happy, the only way i know how i could is to be with her as just the thought of her and what we could have makes me happy; so ...

Me and my best friend and both guys in highschool. We like the same girl, in the same grade. My friend, let's call him M, isn't allowed to date but I am.

So I've been talking to this girl pretty much non stop for like 3 months. We were friends at school but haven't really contacted much since. I live a hundred miles away (ATM - plan to move home hopefully within 1-2 years) so we have actually only met up/ been on 2 dates. I really like her and I thought she was into me too because she was and still is often messaging me first. Both "dates" although we never called them that not out a label on it (get it to this later) went well but we never made any explicit move towards eachother passed something platonic. Personally, I haven't found a natural way towards this yet, and I'm kind of struggling. I'm quite an outgoing person but always found it somewhat difficult to move forward with the "first move". More recently I queried whether we had been on a date (we had joked about it briefly, so I wanted clarity) and she said that she wasn't sure if we will end up being friends or if there will be so...

Bisexual woman here! Yeah, that's a total myth. I regularly think about sex during day-to-day life. (Sometimes, if I'm feeling particularly horny, to the detriment of whatever I'm supposed to be focusing on.) I'm often the one to initiate sex with my boyfriend. I don't always orgasm, but I enjoy sex regardless of whether I come or not. It feels exciting, fun, intimate, and pleasurable all at once, and it triggers a powerful mix of dopamine, endorphins and oxytocin that I just don't get from masturbating. And like... lesbians exist. Women in sexual relationships with women, having sex because they want to. :P November 23, 2019 at 12:07AM

I've never wanted kids and I highly doubt that will ever change as I really don't see founding a family in my future. But if I wanted to and had the means to, I would adopt a child in need of a home and family rather than have a biological one - for several reasons although none are tied to my asexuality.

Hey folks. My wife and I have been married for almost 7 years (we have been dating for 11). We have a great relationship overall and our friends/family always tell us how they aspire to have a solid relationship like we have. We have never had an argument in our entire marriage and in general we are just really laid back, quiet people. But in the past few years I have been finding out that my willingness to make my wife happy is causing me really neglect myself. Over our relationship we made some really big decisions together that really were one sided. For example: She says she doesn't want kids, I have never ruled it out and have never said I don't want kids. But to keep the peace I never really pushed the issue of perhaps wanting to have kids one day. It's not a deal breaker for me, but I don't talk about it all just to keep the peace. I wanted to move to another state for my career. Instead that didn't happen, as she decided she wanted to be closer to her ...

Is it supposed to be this hard? We dated for 5 years and just recently got married. We had a baby before we got married, which feels like why we got married. I am just very unhappy, everything he does seem to annoy me, and it’s like he doesn’t think about me at all. For instance, having his mother stay the night even though she spanked our daughter a few weeks ago and never apologized. Still pissed and need an apology from it but not she’s spending the night? I feel constantly disrespected in this situation. Wouldn’t it be something she asks both of us? She is single and really the reason of all our fights. I am constantly doing stuff for other people or his family and never have anything in return. Other things that irritate me are the fact he never once changed a diaper at night, never once gave a bottle at night, never lets me sleeps in- has slept in for this entire marriage and since our kid was born and I am literally sleep deprived. I wish about ending things sometimes but I...
