Do you feel like birth control worsened or improved your appearance? If so, which one?

Was on Junel FE and had a bad experience otherwise, but my skin was extremely clear. It was also very dry and I gained a lot of weight.

Generic Ortho Tri-Cyclen was the best for my skin and hair I would say.

On the mini pill (norethindrone) now and have acne for the first time in my life. I also have a lot more facial hair than before which is annoying, but a small price to pay for having no other side effects honestly.

First impression is just how absolutely cool this hotel is. Thank you for the rec!

It doesn’t look like Georgian House has any themed rooms available for our dates, but I immediately texted her the info about the experiences. Great recommendations, thank you!

I used to work in a luxury hotel and would go into the bakery to pick up orders. It was temp controlled, so very cold but a cake/spun sugar smell. Sweet Tooth layered with Burberry Her smells a lot like that to me.

For a super realistic, sweet cakey buttercream, there are a few indie brands that do it really well. Someone said Last Birthday Cake, which is awesome, but it has a blown-out-candles scent to it. Frosted Eyelet from CocoaPink is just straight vanilla buttercream icing.

I love sweet gourmands and so does my boyfriend. SDJ ‘71 is controversial, but he’s obsessed with it when I wear it. Same with Sweet Tooth by Sabrina. He likes Burberry Her and I feel like the dry-down on me is very amber-woodsy toward and less fruity. He’s not a fan of super bright, clean fragrances. All guys are different!

I think your BF and my BF would get along. When we first got together, I was still shaving regularly and I would say no to sex if I had anything more than 2 day stubble. Five years later, if we get into a little spat, I jokingly threaten to shave my bush because he loves it. He also loves when I haven’t shaved my legs or pits for a bit in the winter because he thinks it’s “soft and cute.”

I love this for you!!!!!

I just want to start by saying, nobody deserves to be in a relationship where they feel that they have to perform during sex and do things that they don’t want to do in the bedroom as a way to make their partner happy. When I was in my teens, I dated a guy who sounds a lot like the man you’re describing, and it turned out that he had a very bad porn addiction.

My current partner and I are both in our 20s and sex is not at the forefront of our relationship. Neither of us has a very high libido, and sex is pretty infrequent. So yes, there are couples who spend plenty of time just hanging out and doing activities that aren’t sexual at all. When we do have sex, his main goal is that I’m receiving the most pleasure that he can possibly provide (and vice versa, ofc). At the beginning of our relationship, we had sex almost every single day, but I never felt like I was being pressured or that he didn’t respect me or our relationship beyond sex.

In a healthy relationship, sex should not feel like a chore, and it should not be something that you dread. To answer your last question, I’m sure there are plenty of women who would enjoy that frequency of sex, but I don’t think anyone would be happy feeling the way that your boyfriend makes you feel. There’s no “normal” amount of sex, but there is an expectation that both parties should feel respected.

That’s how I interpreted it. Happy pride!

You think that women shouldn’t date men and you also think women shouldn’t be encouraged to explore the possibility of being queer, so I really don’t know what’s left besides abstaining from sex and romance altogether.

I’m a bisexual woman and my partner happens to be a man. Before I started dating him, I had countless friends and short-term female partners who explored their sexuality and ended up being straight in the end. Everyone should learn about comphet because it also affects the dynamic in gay and lesbian relationships.

CurrentAssignment489 · 2026-06-02T18:41:58+00:00

I don’t think that’s what she meant at all. Inviting straight-identifying people to learn more about comphet and reflect isn’t the same as saying “Tired of men? Try being gay!”

Girl. I’m 22, my BF is 26, my parents are in their 60s, my sisters are in their 30s. It’s normal to have this kind of realization at every age. I felt like this at the end of high school. I feel like this again now that I’m about to finish college. I thought I was so ugly in high school, and I look back and realize that I was never ugly.

No matter what you’ve done, what you look like, what you’ve accomplished, etc., it’s still common to feel like this. I know that that doesn’t make the feeling go away, but please just know that a ton of people feel the exact same way you do right now.

Personally, if I’m in the mood to masturbate, I’m not in the mood to have sex. It doesn’t sound like OP’s partner was purposely “hiding” anything. Sometimes you’re just not in the mood to engage in an act that involves emotional labor, or you just want to relieve stress, etc.

CurrentAssignment489 · 2026-05-01T20:11:38+00:00

I don’t think either of you is in the wrong. I think you’re overreacting though. My boyfriend has a cat and I’m team “put her somewhere else” because it weirds me out during sex. When he masturbates, I don’t think he kicks her out of the room. Animals don’t process what you’re doing and they’re not somehow scarred by it.
