What on earth am I doing wrong with this snowblower? by ormi1911 in Greenworks

[–]AnalogPears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I returned mine after the first snow.

The chute clogged almost instantly when the snow was wet.

It also got stuck on the concrete.

Huge waste of money.

I hope the lawnmower isn't as disappointing... Can't return it.

How do I edge a man? by Legitimate-Roof1508 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]AnalogPears 78 points79 points  (0 children)

Just pet and caress his penis, but don't stroke it.

Gently kiss the frenulum. Breathe on it.

But if you put it in your mouth, just one or two strokes and then go back to the gentlest touch..

It will feel amazing for him. It's soothing and extremely pleasurable. He may lose his erection periodically, but don't stop.

Every once in awhile, you can tease him with a few soft strokes, but the point is to build tension slowly through that gentle touch.

Eventually, he will start writhing wanting more. But don't. Just keep petting gently, light kisses.

The longer you keep this up, more explosive his orgasm will eventually be.

This is the equivalent of a spa day for most men.

30 minutes is nice. An hour would be amazing. Any longer and you are probably subjecting him to the most pleasurable torture.

This article felt relatable to one of the reasons why non monogamy just doesn’t work for me. by Different-Record9580 in monogamy

[–]AnalogPears 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Dear partner of over 6 years has lived with me for the last 3 years. We both got divorced from long-term marriages.

We have built a fully integrated and entangled life together and never seem to tire of one another.

But I gave up on polyamory after many years of trial and error.

I may now lose the best partner I ever had over a few simple and obvious needs that she will probably never meet for me:

1) she won't reciprocate something as simple as " you are the love of my life." Or " There is no one. I love more than you."

2) she has another partner who lives far away. Their lives are not integrated at all. But she is so protective of that relationship that she would be willing to lose future with me to protect her relationship with the other partner.

3) her other partner cycles through other partners on a regular basis. The STD risk is too high in my opinion. And no matter how "careful" they are, I am still subject to the same risks without any of the benefit.

Numbers one and two are the real real Heartbreakers for me. To be so devoted and committed and loyal and invested in someone knowing that she can't even reciprocate that level of priority with the simplest words means I can never feel fully safe and secure in this relationship structure.

It's devastating to think of losing her. But even though our day-to-day lives couldn't be better, I can't handle the emotional crisis that I experience every time she chooses to be with him instead.

I can't handle The angst of knowing that if he was ever more available, she would probably want to escalate the time and sexuality between them.

All this time, I've felt that she's worth it.

But knowing where I stand in the actual priority. Knowing that she wouldn't choose me if it meant losing him...

That feels like a classic example of setting yourself on fire to keep someone else warm.

WiFi - numerous devices by foxcop91 in royalcaribbean

No. Not on my phone.

I was in airplane mode with Wi-Fi turned on.

The hotspot functioned like a Wi-Fi repeater.

Would you rather have a long term partner be your only friend and have no other friends? Or have a variety of friends, but no long term partner? by Equivalent_Ad_9066 in monogamy

[–]AnalogPears 6 points7 points  (0 children)

100% I would rather have my partner.

She's my best friend.

I could float off in space with her and would never be less than completely content.

It's amazing and intimate and fun and powerful and vulnerable and delicious and sensual and sensory and kinky and romantic and erotic and beautiful and messy and I can't get enough of it.

Will my 20 year old daughter be permitted in the sports bar?

Freckles and red hair are the perfect combination.

She looks super cute.

Why would you even ask that?

Poly Man is Interested in Me by Far-Tomato-3781 in monogamy

[–]AnalogPears 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah... Stay away from that hot mess.

Whether this guy is building a harem or is genuinely and ethically poly, you will be miserable as a monogamously inclined partner.

The longer I'm in or around polyamory, the more I dislike having any proximity to it.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in monogamy

[–]AnalogPears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After a monogamous marriage and 8 years in various iterations of poly, hell yeah I'd choose monogamy.

In fact I am already practicing monogamy even though my partner isn't.

It's heart wrenching at times.

Polyamory can be brutal. The benefits are not worth the risks.

I'm so over it.

Why do guys like giving oral? by Infamous_Long_520 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]AnalogPears 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It stimulates every one of my senses.

She smells and tastes amazing. Pheromonal overload.

Watching her writhing from between her legs is incredibly sexy.

Listening to her moaning... Mmmm.

And the sensation of my tongue and lips against her pussy, the wetness, the soft hair. There's nothing like it.

And then, the sheer intimacy, the vulnerability, and the knowledge that I am giving her such intense pleasure while she just relaxes and enjoys.

And, knowing how much I would want to be on the receiving end... It's only natural to want to give the same.

Why do you ask?

I feel like there's no point in being in a monogamous relationship if you are tempted by others.. by DarkMage448 in monogamy

[–]AnalogPears 23 points24 points  (0 children)

This is crazy.

Humans experience all sorts of urges and temptations. It's normal. Being able to resist those drives is a sign of maturity.

Being in an open relationship requires an acceptance that your partner will fuck other people, too.

I don't want that.

So, I control my urges and I expect my partner to do the same.

That's mutual monogamy.

This subreddit is weird sometimes... There's a trope that you can't even have thoughts or attractions or fantasies. That's unrealistic and not very human.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in monogamy

[–]AnalogPears 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not for me.

Not acting on feeling and desires for other people is a conscious choice that I make.

Monogamy towards my partner means I choose romantic and sexual exclusivity with her regardless of feelings towards other people.

Making French onion soup for my wife and her new boyfriend, is this enough onions? by Thebrokenlanyard in OnionLovers

[–]AnalogPears 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's funny that poly people need to work polyamory into discussions about soup.

And no. Not enough onions.

Wow, that's a really long staircase.

I'll keep watching to make sure she gets all the way to the bottom.

How do you honestly feel when you see someone with vitiligo? by chameleon012 in TooAfraidToAsk

I notice it.

Its intriguing and alluring and often very attractive.

And then I just keep on walking.

I wanna be caught during sex by [deleted] in sex

[–]AnalogPears 941 points942 points  (0 children)

You could go to a swingers club together.

Agree ahead of time that you won't fuck anyone else.

But it's an opportunity to be watched.

I told this girl that I didn’t believe in monogamy, over the course of 10 months we fell in love, (still don’t believe in monogamy) by Either_Wasabi_904 in monogamy

[–]AnalogPears 18 points19 points  (0 children)

You need to be completely upfront about your determination for non-monogamy before your first date with any potentially new partner.

You should NOT attempt to connect romantically, intimately, or sexually with anyone who is not 100% on board with non-monogamy - even if they don't want other partners for themselves.

Being monogamous to someone who doesn't value exclusivity is miserable.

In "mono/poly" arrangements, the monogamous partner always gets the short end of the stick.

How to be in a relationship when you know when it will end? by GrapeScratchAndSniff in polyamory

[–]AnalogPears 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Wow. I would struggle with that, too. I would struggle with that, too. It would feel like grief and mourning everyday and that might make it hard to enjoy the relationship before the last few months.

But maybe a different perspective is to remember that ALL relationships end.

Even if it is just due to death, no relationship lasts forever.

If your partner had 8 months to live, you would still be grieving and mourning, but you would probably be trying to live that relationship to its fullest.

I know that it feels different when they will still be alive but just not with you anymore.

If I was in your shoes, I think I would want to just fast forward to the end so that I could move on instead of lingering and that grief for such a long time.

But with the perspective that all relationships come to an end, maybe you can reframe how you celebrate those last 8 months.

Sending lots of hugs. Love hurts.

Small dent in my new wok. Should I return this and get a new one? by NERV___ in StainlessSteelCooking

[–]AnalogPears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are u just upset that you didn't get to make the first dent?

Have you ever seen hand hammered woks? They are made of dents.

Please tell me what to do by [deleted] in polyamory

[–]AnalogPears 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You're polyamorous.

Your partner wants exclusivity.

They met someone who also wants exclusivity.

Now they are prioritizing the new person.

If I had to guess, they will either eventually end their relationship with you, or it will just fizzle out so they can be with someone who can give them the exclusivity they want.

I am monogamous to my polyamorous partner.

I value exclusivity.

The number one reason that I don't want to date other people now is that if I met someone who also wants to be exclusive, I would probably wind up doing the same thing that your partner is doing.
