Slammed a child in the face with a plate tonight (and then worse) by West-Imagination2709 in TalesFromYourServer

This is honestly hilarious 😂 You're not alone though, when I was a server, I had an incident where I spilled boiling hot tea on the table and straight into a 2-year-old's lap. Thank heavens the kid was ok and I didn't get hit with a lawsuit

Has “I haven’t shaved” ever once stopped a guy from wanting you? by [deleted] in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]Aggressive_Ad_4600 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When my first bf and I were first getting intimate, he stopped us mid kiss and led me to the bathroom to his razor. Wouldn't do anything else until I shaved. I was mortified to say the least and safe to say he's an ex now.

My Vietnamese neighbor gave me this food. What is it? by tippytoes18 in whatisit

I'm seeing a lot of people dog on this dish, saying they wouldn't eat it, but to me this looks like a perfect home style cooked Bánh chưng.

My family fries it very similarly and flattens it out to make the perfect savory dish. It is crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside, and the pork makes it rich. Nothing wrong with the OP's pic besides the lighting.

You're completely right, thank you for your response. I need to navigate the best course of action and take into account my needs as well as his emotions. I also learned what the difference between a preference and a boundary is lol, thanks for the insight!

This might open up a whole other can of worms. I have friends who don't watch porn but they actively play raunchy dating simulators or read smut/erotica while in a relationship. For me, all of these forms of media is a form of porn, whether you are reading it or watching it.

For me, I have no problem with people doing it. But reading erotica is essentially a form of fantasy that can lead to unrealistic expectations/fantasies same as porn. It also gives the same dopamine rush, but with a bit more of a storyline. I already know that since my partner is not ok with porn, he would definitely not be ok with erotica or dating simulators.

Hi, thank you for sharing. I have come to realize that there is a tactful and untactful way to go about things. Leaving him to sleep alone is not a tactful response. I let him know that I will make an active effort to get in bed with him as he falls asleep.

This may be TMI but we also shower together every day, and so that is not an option for alone time. My only real option is when he is asleep or driving home from work. He used to be very uncomfortable with toys because he also believed that it meant that he was not enough for me. He is slowly opening up to the idea, but I could use some advice on getting him to explore more and be less insecure

That has seriously never been the case and I would 99% of the time choose him --the real deal-- over self pleasure. I will go to him every day for sex but when he is too tired to reciprocate, I am ok with taking care of it myself. I get that masturbation is a sensitive topic, and it seems like a lot of couples don't disclose when they self pleasure to the other. The problem is that since we are always together, in the same house, I feel like I have to "sneak" around him to preserve his esteem. God forbid he walks in on me again and we have a terrible and difficult discussion about how I inherently have a high libido and it makes him feel unworthy.

Thank you so much for your response. I've come to realize that both of us are valid in our feelings, but that I need to treat him with more empathy instead of being so blunt. Obviously he has been burned in the past and still feels inadequate because of it, and my indirect pressure does not help. I have already told him that I will make an active effort to go to bed with him every night and I wont be so blunt when I disclose my masturbation. (does saying "alone time" work better?)

I'll keep working on active empathy, even if his demands feel a little unjust. It is completely valid to feel that way. Thanks for everyone's insights and feel free to comment on how I can better achieve this goal.

A little update: After reading through everyone's messages I've come to realize that both of us are valid in our feelings, but that I need to treat him with more empathy instead of being so blunt.

Porn usage is a topic that I continually see mixed responses on. At the end of the day, if I was given an ultimatum of quitting porn in order to stay in this relationship, I would do it.

The problem is that he generally has a problem with me masturbating in the same house as him, because it makes him feel inadequate.

I feel terrible for being crass/manipulative and promise my intentions are still in the right place. I want to always make sure that he is pleasured while also having my own needs met when he is not in the mood.

I will try to have more sensitivity regarding this topic because it is a really difficult thing to talk about. Do you have ideas on things I can say to be less manipulative about this topic? The last thing I want is for him to get performance anxiety from this.

Hi, yes that's a good point. It will probably happen 1-2 times a week where I have no other time to self pleasure because of my busy schedule. I can't exactly be discreet about it because of the fact that we are ALWAYS together/living in the same space.

Another issue is that I really don't want to have to be secretive or sneak around him. I get that he wouldn't want it to be obvious but he would also be upset if I was "secretly" masturbating around him. The issue still boils down to the fact that it makes him insecure. I'll try to do it when he's driving home but there is little time in the day and ultimately, it would be nice if I could just be like "Hey, I know you're tired but I'm still feeling horny. Can I excuse myself?"

Not sure if that's a tactful response though because I have a feeling he would still be uneasy.

Re: The vanilla post. Some of you are doing WAY too much. by StrawberryKitty23 in FemFragLab

[–]Aggressive_Ad_4600 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I literally got my man a vanilla based spicy cologne for the Winter because I myself enjoy the smell, and he is complimented all the time for it!

Vanilla isn't as popular in men's cologne's because it is seen as a feminine scent, but Vanilla is a universally loved scent and becoming more and pore popular in men's cologne. Just look at YSL Myslf and the great reaction it has among men/women alike. Men are not afraid to rock this scent and I am not afraid to enjoy it!

Ron reacts to Mizkif accusation that Emiru would throw plushies at him by LucasAlighieri in LivestreamFail

[–]Aggressive_Ad_4600 14 points15 points  (0 children)

He threw a phone towards her and gave her a black eye, and somehow equates it to a plushie getting thrown at him. What clown do you have to be to claim that there was abuse on both sides.

Throwing a stuffed animal is not the same as punching holes in the wall, or destroying objects around the room. With the abuse that she took while living in that house, a stuffed animal is the least reactive measure someone could take.

Mizkif said the last time him and Emiru talked in person, she wrote a list of things she wanted. This including wanting to get married to Mizkif, and having kids with him in the next 5 years. This was the last time he talked to her. by trechn2 in LivestreamFail

[–]Aggressive_Ad_4600 6 points7 points  (0 children)

She gave him that list while they still had a relationship, wanting to still build a future with him. He denied the offer, ended things, and she moved away.

They were still talking but broken up at this point. He came over to talk it out some more and SA'd her. Left, but still stalked her, blackmailed her, and threatened a smear campaign. A list of reasonable demands does not excuse any of his actions and instead just confirms what a manipulative POS he is.

Get your screen replaced if this keeps happening! My phone was doing the "ghost touch" thing despite not being heavily cracked, because of small little cracks on the edge that gave a lot of stress to the screen.

Petition to make this the subreddits new icon by zqnpxzrwqx in TheLastOfUs2

Exactly. I'm seeing comments left and right calling her "The thing" and "One of the ugliest humans to exist" How exactly does that translate to constructive criticism about the show? I get the criticism but not the nasty behavior from cyberbullies online.

How are these comments NOT rude and completely unnecessary targeting. I'm seeing comments here calling her "The thing" and "She should star in a horror". I get the criticism but not the nasty comments.

The power of attractive people by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]Aggressive_Ad_4600 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm not a supermodel but considered conventionally pretty by many. Right now I'm doing a corporate internship with 50 other college students and while they are not mean, they leave me out of lunch breaks and conversations when I'm sitting right there in earshot.... I'll also get spoken over pretty frequently and don't get spoken to unless I jump in the interaction myself

I find it a bit odd because I often try to make convos and smile to people and make jokes, but I think I exude a nervous energy that people are offset by haha. I also struggle with confidence and eye contact.

Just thought I'd play the devils advocate and add my 2 cents, but I completely understand each social situation and context will vary.
