Hey guys! I am very new to Reddit but was encouraged to share my podcast on here because I really want it to reach the RIGHT people. I am not at all looking to spam or make $ but to share my advice with those out there who are interested. I wasn’t sure if there was a certain way I should go about this or if anyone is interested. I am a sex therapist in Washington state & started a podcast on all things dating/relationship and intimacy. It’s a comedy on dating and boundaries etc and I really care about reaching people it might help out. My show is called Nudes Before Dudes on iTunes and Spotify etc. I am open to ideas and advice on how to reach people in a non spammy way! I hope everyone is doing well during these tough times!

So, my boyfriend (24 M) and I (22 F) have been dating for over a year. We moved in with each other over the summer because of work and after college it just made sense. Before we lived together, and even when we first moved in sex was not a problem. We’d have sex up to 6 times a day. I understand that’s the honeymoon period and things won’t always be like that. But now we have sex maybe twice a month, and honestly it’s just not enough for me. I’ve tried to initiate things but only end up getting left disappointed. I brought up my concerns and he says he was stressed and that’s why stress drive was low. Now we’re going on 5 months within this same cycle. It’s embarrassing that I can’t get my own boyfriend to have sex with me I just don’t understand how he could go from needing more sex than even I could keep up with to nothing and not even seem to notice about it. When I brought this up again he said he wants it to happen naturally and doesn’t like when I beg for sex. but it never ha

I moved from Chicago to Portland in August and went on quite a few dates before the weather made it really inconvenient to get over that first outdoor, distanced date. Since then, it’s been so much more difficult to get someone to follow through with a first date: the weather might suck, most that are still single at this point in the pandemic seem to have dating fatigue (myself included), and there is less than ever happening in all our lives to talk about. What have you all been doing to overcome this? Or, have you resigned to waiting for better weather or to be vaccinated?

We are both 27. Here’s a screenshot. https://imgur.com/a/VAowEuA She’s not asking me any questions about myself and replies to paragraphs with a few words. Usually that means disinterest, but she said she was interested and wants to do a video chat? It just seems confusing. Submitted February 19, 2021 at 11:39PM We are both 27.

I moved from Chicago to Portland in August and went on quite a few dates. Once the weather turned, it’s been SO much more difficult to find people willing to follow-through on that first date. Almost everyone is talking to multiple people, and that means when there is a rare day of nice weather it becomes a matter of both people prioritizing each other above everyone else- before they’ve even met. Add that to dating fatigue, quarantine fatigue, and all the challenges already inherent in online dating, and it’s really killed my desire to even try. What are some creative ways you have continued to have that first socially distanced/outdoor date in spite of cold, wet, unpredictable weather?? Or, have you largely resigned to waiting for better weather/mass vaccination? Submitted February 19, 2021 at 11:43PM I moved from Chicago to Portland in August and went on quite a few dates.

I'm a lady and this lady who works at a store where I shop is always complimenting me about my smile. She's always saying how she likes my smile. And once I overheard her tell one of the employees that seeing me makes her day. So today when I saw her I asked her what her zodiac sign was and she told me. And she asked me why I wanted to know. I told her because she always seems so excited. And she said only when she sees me. And today she called me honey bun.

I think what thay ment is that we are a welcoming and sweet community. I see your point though, it's still a generalisation even if ment as a complement February 20, 2021 at 12:00AM

They are all amazing!! Your art is very awesome! 💜 February 20, 2021 at 12:00AM

Yup, very much. I've recently come to the conclusion that my true love language IS touch. That's just how I show my affection, and even if I don't intend for it to be sexual, other people can interpret that differently. Maybe the fact that I was just so utterly and completely touch-deprived for the last 10 years contributes to my obsession with cuddling and touching my boyfriend... Who can tell?😅 February 19, 2021 at 11:44PM

I mean, cute sentiment, but saying we're 'the most adorable and beautiful people' is actually kind of dehumanizing - we're not some cute little potted plants, we're real people, with real personalities and feelings, and - like me - sometimes a bit prickly. I'm more than my sexuality, and I do dislike being characterized based on just one small part of me. February 19, 2021 at 11:39PM

Thank youuu ✨ 💜 February 19, 2021 at 11:35PM

I love this so much, normally I identify with a lot of your comics but this hits close to home. I'm like this and haven't had a lot of people understand how I am with sex and just reading about this has me fuckin emotional and all worked up. God bless you for the art you create and the open window you grant us all to the workings of your mind ☺️ February 19, 2021 at 11:29PM

Ugh fuck them (metaphorically). Though I’m curious as to whether it’s actually an ace with internalized aphobia, or if it’s someone who is pretending to be ace to “disprove” us or act like assholes the way people made fake ace accounts on tumblr. February 19, 2021 at 11:22PM

Yeah, your friend's being rude and inappropriate. Being sex-repulsed means you're repulsed by the thought of participating in sex, and sometimes by the idea of sex in general, but it doesn't imply a value judgement. Thinking that it's disgusting for anyone to like sex has nothing to do with asexuality and everything to do with being a jerk. Your friend is entitled to their opinion, even if it's an offensive opinion, but they don't need to share it with you. You're entitled to respect from your friends. If this person is unwilling to respect you, they're being a poor friend. As to why they are acting like this, it's not unheard of for asexuals who have faced discrimination for being ace, or who are just fed up with the overtly sexualized nature of society, to go overboard and lash back at people who aren't asexual. This is especially the case for young people, since they tend to be more prone to black-and-white thinking anyway. That said, whil

Im ace sex repulsed and for me I dont care at all about other people sex life but I feel sick if I thing of me doing it. Hope this helps February 19, 2021 at 11:09PM
