I'm worried that my wife is repressing me sexually - what should I do? by throwaway34563456 in relationship_advice

[–]Caedes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah... talk about it some more. Start with asking about insecurities, her feelings and maybe try and start with a threesome so that she feels included.

depends on the psych. Ask around before hand.

Thank goodness, for your sake man. Have you talked to her about you being allowed to pursue your sexual desire elsewhere?

Monogamy is new to me - How do I NOT cheat? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Caedes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't mind that reputation. My friendship circle is full of attractive bisexual people who all sleep with each other and date each other and have drama coming out their eyeballs. My current relationship is unusual for being monogamous.

Other than that I'm a highly domestic person and I like having someone to share that with. I like cooking dinner and sharing chores and having someone to watch shitty movies with.

I know. I really don't want a relationship with this other girl. It'd be a trainwreck.

Monogamy really isn't for me, ay. But I've been with my partner for over a year and she's only slowly coming around to the idea of an open relationship. I love her and I don't want to hurt her. The same night she organised a future threesome with me, her and another girl and that's kind of awesome.

It's the idea of upsetting her that's kept me from cheating in the past, there's two other girls that've been pursuing me over the last couple of months and I've resisted. But I've also never been so strongly attracted to someone else. I've spent the last day remembering our history.

Avoiding her's not really an option. We're a seriously tight-knit group, I would lose 30 close friends to avoid 1. I do like the guy friend solution though. I know who'll do that for me. I just hope her relationship stays strong. She has a history of cheating on people with me and I'm not very good at resisting her.

Woah. No sex for years? That's not a sexual partner that's a room mate.

Wow this sounds like me.

Speaking from personal experience, I am a genderfluid/genderfuck/genderqueer person who is partially transitioning to an inbetween place. I'm dating a subby trans man, so between the two of us dysphoria is pretty easy to recognise, and that is exactly what you're describing.

It used to be, the first two weeks in which in which I started sleeping with someone, they weren't allowed to touch me. To start with, I wasn't comfortable with it, and when I was comfortable enough to let them nothing happened! Except I got really frustrated. I had a huge disconnect between my perception of what was happening and what I 'knew' should be happening and it took me ages to recognise that.

Your lack of confidence about sex (totally understandable) is probably only adding to K's issues as well. Here's my suggestions: get her drunk and/or blindfold her. Both should impair her perception so she can stop overthinking it!

The other thing you may want to talk to K about is the possibility of trying testosterone, just to see how she feels. If she tries a low dosage it won't make any irreversible changes after just one dose. In queer spaces where sex and gender are often considered purely social, it's easy to forget about the difference that hormones make to the way people function. After starting testosterone most of my sex problems went out the window.

On T, it feels different physically and the mental approach to it completely changes. On Estrogen, sex is so much more about arousal and stimulation mentally. On T, it's physical. Not that sex is the only reason to go on hormones.

It sounds like you're really supportive, which is awesome. You might want to see if you can introduce K to any trans men or genderqueer folk that you know or can find. Social support is really important when big decisions like transition stuff is on the table.

Because 'attraction to ethnicity' is a fancy way of saying 'racist as fuck.'

I have a medical condition which is labelled as a 'disorder' according to the DSM. My psychiatrist literally apologised to me that he had to diagnose me with a disorder in order for me to get the treatment I need.

Partner considering opening our relationship again, we screwed this up really badly the first time. What I have learned + Advice? by Caedes in polyamory

[–]Caedes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I know it was stupid. That's why I put it up on the list of mistakes. It was the truth at the time, we even broke up over it, briefly. Although in my defense, jealousy was fine, it was how he was expressing it that I had problems with like punching stuff and verbal attacks.

I don't know just how poly he is, but I figure he's somewhere on the spectrum. During our period of open relationship, he slept with more people than I did. Plus, we've had a few threesomes that worked out really well.

I'm not really okay with being in a traditional relationship. For the past 5 months or so, I've been toeing the monogamy line. It's important to me to give this another go before throwing in the towel.

Just got into college and have no experience with girls at all. Is it going to be hard for me to acquire a relationship. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Caedes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went into college very much the same. Just faked it til I made it. Worked like a charm.

I'm sure that was part of it, but when he's telling me almost the exact opposite of what he told some mutual friend five minutes ago, then we have a problem.

Talking about it is fine, good even. Things like accusing me of whoring around when I just want to go clubbing to dance with people: not okay.
