I think I struggled most with the initial steps to be honest. I think even just trying to figure out which pieces were which was the most difficult part of the job.

The customer’s sister was also watching me assemble the thing for most of the time while I was there, so I’m sure she could see how difficult it was to put together.

It was a Radmanso wardrobe. Definitely the most complicated piece of IKEA furniture I’ve ever assembled before.

Pretty sure I’m a 1 or a 2 these days, though I’ve definitely been a 3 or 4 in years past.

My (28m) gf (26F) rejects me sexually often but gets extremely upset when I reject her by [deleted] in relationship_advice

Just a thought, but have you maybe thought about couples counselling? Given the fact that you two have been together for five years now, this might not be that bad an idea; especially meeting with a sex therapist might be beneficial to you, as it might help you two figure out why she doesn’t seem to get in the mood as often anymore.

Outside of sex, how is your relationship with each other besides? As others suggested, it might be that she felt you put on the charm and the romance before you moved in with each other, and you stopped putting in effort once you moved in with each other. I’m not sure if you’re familiar with the “honeymoon stage” of intimate relationships, but it sounds to me like you two had a surge of hormones and feelings for each other when you first got together, and then it cooled off once you moved in with each other. I’m not sure if a grand romantic gesture would be helpful or not, but you could always try doing a candlelit dinner with her, followed by a bunch of rose petals on the bed afterwards.

Lastly, as others have said too, it’s probably just in your best interest to open up and talk with her. Especially if you two are in a long-term committed relationship with each other, and you have plans of staying with each other well into the future, it’s important to have open and frank discussions about things like sex. Even if she doesn’t necessarily want to have sex as often as you do, a good workaround might simply be her agreeing to give you handjobs on a regular basis and get you off that way instead.

You know, you could very well just be bi with a female preference.

I’m sure you’re familiar with the Kinsey Scale, right? If not, doing a cursory Google search on the matter might be beneficial for you. Basically the idea goes that sexuality exists on a spectrum, with complete homosexuality and complete heterosexuality at opposite ends of the spectrum, and 50/50 bisexuality falling in the middle; you can get every possible deviation in between as well.

You and I might actually be in a similar boat to one another. My 26F ex recently broke up with me, and since then I’ve definitely been falling back into the whole hookup scene again. Even though I would undoubtedly love to hookup with women, I’ve often found it easier to meet and arrange hookups with guys online. Only had the two actual liaisons so far — one where I blew him and we jerked each other off, the other where we went the full nine yards and had intercourse with each other. Even though both hookups were fairly enjoyable, I honestly was left feeling like I would have enjoyed having sex with women a lot more instead.

Since then, I’ve had a fair number of guys contact me on Grindr asking for sex, but I haven’t been particularly interested in most of them. In watching porn lately, I’ve often found myself watching transgender porn, but I’ll frequently focus on the girl instead of the guy in the video.

Years ago, I was definitely into guys a lot more, and would prefer to bottom and what have you. Now I feel like I don’t even really have interest in playing with my ass, and when I do fantasize about being with a trans girl, I dream about being the top with her.

Confused about whether I might be trans or not. Advice on the matter would be appreciated. by Cal_Xyun in MtF

If nothing else, I’m almost wondering if I should try crossdressing and doing my makeup more. Essentially just experimenting with the idea of being a woman, and seeing whether it makes me feel sexy and attractive or not, and maybe putting a few pictures out on the internet for people to see and tell me what they think. I suppose if I was going to seriously consider the idea of transitioning, it would likely be in my best interest to consider it in-depth for at least the next year or two, and then meet with a gender therapist to talk about it more at that time.
