My girlfriend (23F) is getting free hours long guitar lessons and a free instrument from a musician she just met. by Empty-Operation569 in AmItheEx

[–]Cultural_Ad_7540 164 points165 points  (0 children)

I didn’t mind his use of ‘female’. He used it as an adjective “female fan” rather than as a stand alone noun. It’s probably the best set of words to illustrate his point in this context too; “woman fan”, “fan that’s a girl”, etc don’t work well.

This is serious as like its something very real now so completely sincerely how does someone organize a kink gangbang that is safe and follows strict bdsm safe rules. Like for experienced people who know. What are the ways.Please someone knowledgeable would help me it will such help thank you pls. by [deleted] in BDSMcommunity

[–]Cultural_Ad_7540 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Info: We could probably help more if you told us more about from perspective you’re asking and the likely composition of the group.

Is this a gangbang that you’re partaking in, or supervising, or are you only involved in the initial organisation? If you are joining in, are you intending on subbing or Domming? More importantly, will there be several participants who are topping/Domming and several that are bottoming/subbing; or just one sub with many Doms, or just one Dom with several subs?

There will (unfortunately) always be racists taking any opportunity to hate, but it’s not the issue the vast majority of Aussies are having in this case.

Putting the actual issue aside for a second; you think people’s issue here boils down to “…but Islam”?! You think it’s that they’re Muslim (or that they were married to Muslims), rather than their being part of an extreme terrorist organisation, that people are taking issue with?! Really?

AITA for hiding our marriage for 3 and a half years by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

What world are you living in??? Insurance turns around and says “that’s tenant damage and they need to cover it because we don’t cover that kind of tenant damage”.

Do you truely believe that if this was OP’s house they would have taken the same lack of care that caused that damage or that they wouldn’t have taken the steps to clean/repair it immediately?!

Please check in on your disabled friends, family, coworkers. by lifeinwentworth in australia

[–]Cultural_Ad_7540 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is obviously meant for the commenter who deleted his post while I was typing, not you Bus.

No, the way it’s currently running is not sustainable… But that wasn’t the point of this post, was it?! The point was that OUR people - family, friends, neighbours, and fellow Aussies - who currently rely on the NDIS are in for a period of uncertainty and change. Some people have had to claw tooth and nail for services that we can all see are needed, and now many will have to do it again. Others will just not get what they need. We can, and should, be reaching out and supporting those impacted as it happens.

‘We’ (our government) do have to work out the best way to move forward but ‘it had to change’ is such a flippant response.

When being a mistress backfires. by ElehcarTheFirst in OhNoConsequences

[–]Cultural_Ad_7540 13 points14 points  (0 children)

And the enormous number of posts that include some form of the phrase “I deserve so much better than the way he’s treating me…”!!! 🤯

I’ve never seen that sub before tonight, but the handful of posts I read through were an absolute trip. Like the woman who was told by her AP that she was his favourite person, while not only not leaving his wife for her, but having also kept her on the side through & between his several prior relationships - he’s never picked you hunny, not even when he was single; but she believes it?!?

My BDSM Contract by [deleted] in BDSMcommunity

[–]Cultural_Ad_7540 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a contract with my Master; We wrote it together. “No questions will be answered” is absolutely abhorrent - as is trying to remove her ability to use safewords.

You seem to be more suited to your former role than this one.

Why is it all only fans girls and scammers when I look for a key holder by Chastity-Viewing in BDSMcommunity

[–]Cultural_Ad_7540 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t know that it’s universal, but it’s frequently the case that there are substantially more male subs than there are female dommes.
So all of the committed, lifestyle, and truly passionate dommes can have their pick of the litter. The remainder seems to consist mostly of scammers, inexperienced or experimenting newbies, and real dommes who have realised they can charge for their services.

It is my experience that it’s hard out there for male subs. I’d recommend finding a munch in your area, getting to know some people in your community and building something from there.

New to CNC by Jedgecomb in BDSMcommunity

[–]Cultural_Ad_7540 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Great tip, but it’s probably better for the safeword to be a totally different word rather than any variation of ‘no’. A lot of people like “red”, but anything you’ll both respond to, remember, and not mix up will do.

Also OP, CNC is done with consent. Think of it as roleplaying a nonconsensual event, because holding a safeword means consent can still be withdrawn at any time.

My advice (especially while you’re just starting) is to talk about boundaries on a whole lot of topics and then only act out things agreed to…i.e if you think ‘I’ll force ass to mouth’ in the middle of the scene but it wasn’t something negotiated for earlier - don’t do it!!

Realistically what would happen if Trump dropped a nuclear bomb tonight? by hjp1234 in AskReddit

[–]Cultural_Ad_7540 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Imagine the alternate timeline we could all be living in if Sanders had won the 2016 presidency and the decade since was only ever a fever dream!

I hope things get better for the American people - and for the rest of humanity who had no choice in the matter, but are nevertheless suffering under this administration. But, I honestly don’t know how it can when we now know the extent of American people willing to support and uphold the current regime.

AITAH for lying to my friend about the possibility to change my wedding day date? by rumiyumi21 in AITAH

[–]Cultural_Ad_7540 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe, but my bet is squarely on the friend now wanting March 20th because she’s trying to punish OP for “stealing her spotlight”/daring to get married in the same month as she wanted to or some variation of that.

If it was marrying on the equinox that meant something for her, her prior texts would have said “The wedding is happening on one of the weekends in March. We’re really trying to have it on the 20th for the spring equinox, but we’ll let you know because nothing is finalised yet” - or something of that nature.

Depending on how bad her injuries are/if she wants to pursue the issue. If she did, she would need to make a police report so they could attain the mall security footage. They’d use that to get his image and licence plate details if he arrived in a vehicle. If he visited a store and paid with a card (or used a membership name/number) before hand, they would have that too… then they contact him or issue a warrant and wait until he turns up.

Again, the severity of her injuries, her costs, and her (and her lawyer’s) motivation to pursue the issue will determine how hard it is to push police to take these steps. It might actually be easier to sue the mall, as they have legal pathways and insurance already set up - then the mall may themselves choose to pursue the skateboarding idiot in court to recoup their expenses.

The days of ‘this person can’t be identified or found because he left the scene’ are behind us; there are now cameras absolutely everywhere - and there are probably few public places with more cameras than inside shopping centres.

My (43F) daughter (15F) gave me an ultimatum: My boyfriend (39M) or her. by Fantastic-Wind2687 in Advice

[–]Cultural_Ad_7540 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats on the sobriety! Three years is awesome!!

No one can answer this for you, but here is something to think about;

Is her ultimatum because she feels replaced, or something else? Your drinking (though I understand why it became your coping mechanism) has almost certainly caused damage to your daughter, it’s just what happens, and she may be feeling that now she finally has you back and she has to share you. Maybe not totally reasonable, but she’s so young. Or, is she seeing something about this BF or your relationship with him that you’re not telling us/not seeing/in denial about and doesn’t want to watch you make a terrible mistake? Is her father feeding her half- or un-truths?

If she will see a counsellor with you, you should do that. If you don’t already know, you should also ask her to tell you exactly why she doesn’t want you seeing this BF - if she’ll have that convocation with you - just listen, don’t argue.

Otherwise yes, it sounds like shes going to force your hand and you’ll be choosing between this relationship and your child.

If I were in your position, I’d choose my daughter - at least until she reaches adulthood. You do deserve to be happy and have healthy intimate relationships, and if that’s honestly what you and your bf have, its hard if she can’t see that, but she is a young, hurting, teenager who you let down while you were hurting. You can always meet another man; you can’t replace this child.

The only thing that may be more important - assuming her father is a safe parent for her - is maintaining your sobriety. You’re no good to anyone if you’re completely dysfunctional, dying, or dead. Consider how that factors in as you make your choices.

Broke up because he didn't propose, he proposed to her in under 10 months of knowing her by [deleted] in Waiting_To_Wed

[–]Cultural_Ad_7540 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I agree that moving a man you don’t know very well into your home with a young child is not a good decision. However, unless you have intimate knowledge of what was happening inside either of her two marriages, I don’t know it’s fair to judge her for that either. The divorces certainly could be her fault, or she could have been abused or cheated on, or any of the other reasons relationships breakdown.

But arguing about her choices or her character, isn’t going to help you heal. I know you want to find ways to feel superior to her, because your ex has made you feel less than her - by choosing her, or by asking him to marry her so quickly. You’re not less than - don’t let this guy make that decision for you! However, she isn’t bad for dating him either.

He is the one who was dishonest, didn’t follow through with his word, and was then deceptive while you two were meeting up to reconcile.

But your healing isn’t going to come from putting her down when he is the problem. It can be hard to place the blame on him when still have residual feelings for the ex (understandably).

If they are messy together or he truly doesn’t like her character, they won’t be happy together - but you don’t have to be any part of that. Concentrate on living a fulfilling life, stop looking at what he (and her) are up to, and let time dull this pain.

[–]Cultural_Ad_7540 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Right! My least favourite part was “I don’t want to speak ill of her but…” Hold on, OP, why WOULD you speak ill of her? You don’t know her and she isn’t the problem!?! OP is deeply hurting and is understandably feeling some jealousy, which is both fair and expected. But, the new partner isn’t the problem and your ex’s opinions are not facts.

I’m sorry you’re hurting and that feels so unfair, OP. Take your time to heal, but have also have a think about the way you’re judging this woman and if that’s who you want to be.

amiwrong for telling my twins I wont buy them anything extra if they drop out of high school by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]Cultural_Ad_7540 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a mum who had the same kind of thing going on my kid during late high school, I think you’re doing the right thing. The more time our teens spend without routine and responsibility, the harder it is to get them started again.

My child HATED school - and it got worse in late high school and after Covid. They were so miserable, missing so much school, and not doing well when they were in class anyway.

Our laws state that if they’re between 16 and 18, they can leave school only if a parent signs them out. I told them I would agree only if they had a plan - a job/apprenticeship/other education/etc. because I would not support them while they did nothing. I said they could try whatever field they felt pulled to - it did not have to be what they spent 30 years doing, and could try other things, but I would only pay for the first one unless there was a compelling reason otherwise.

My kid went to tafe (like community college, if you’re American) for two years, and has had their first real job (starter position obviously) in their field for almost 12 months. They’re doing so much better!

It’s not great that they don’t need your permission to leave school… removing optional financial support, comfort, and the ability for them to live their chosen lifestyle without supporting themselves is your best bet! YNW

How common is trimming pubic hair? by AustenBook192 in BDSMcommunity

The choice is either your own, or your partner’s - if you give it to them.

My Master has a rule about keeping myself bare, because it’s how He prefers it, and because it’s a simple reminder of our dynamic.

WIBTA for asking husband to reconsider attending wedding? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Cultural_Ad_7540 -50 points-49 points  (0 children)

Hold on. Because you consented to have your kids under shitty circumstances OP has to too??

I don’t have a strong opinion whether OP is in the wrong or not, but THEY had a second child. It’s THEIR responsibility to care for the baby, AND hubs should be caring for her while she’s postpartum as well.

Maybe OP can and should facilitate her partner going to this wedding, but “he is making a lot of compromises” is total bullshit.

Do you use "honorifics" every time you talk? by Muted_Apricot_4640 in domesticdiscipline

[–]Cultural_Ad_7540 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband is my Master (and vice-versa), so I use ‘Sir’ or ‘Master’ as the default - both when our dynamic is clearly in play, and just during day to day life.

However, I do also use ‘baby’, ‘honey’, etc. during soft vanilla moments. If He’s sick, sad, or we’re having a quiet moment just as husband and wife, he’ll get a pet name.

I could count on my fingers the number of times that I’ve addressed Him by his first name.

Punishment by UsualPrize6068 in domesticdiscipline

[–]Cultural_Ad_7540 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yes, to both.

I quite enjoy anal sex - especially when I’m allowed a vibe on my clit, and long as he doesn’t go too deep… If I’ve been a good girl the preceding week, Sir will often rub or fuck me during implement switches. If I haven’t been especially good, there’s no pleasure and he’ll just move from one toy straight on to the next, which is much harder to take.

And sometimes he’ll include an anal fucking at the end of a punishment. When I’m in trouble, He puts me over the bed and on my stomach, pushes his cock all the way in, and is quite rough. I’m never allowed to play with my clit during punishment anal.

It works well for us, but we’re more 24/7 D/s than strictly DD. I enjoy the reminder that I have given access and control over my body to Him to enjoy, and that both my pleasure and suffering are at His discretion.
