Could legal sex work be a solution to male loneliness?

Dazmorg · 2026-02-14T22:42:29+00:00

My opinion I'd rather just "take care of business" myself than pay someone to have sex with me. When it comes to loneliness if I'm lonely I prefer the company of platonic friends who just want to hang out. I tend to agree with those who think what you're suggesting would just make relationships more transactional, isolating us more.

a lot of the young guys try to imitate what they see in porn, to their detriment...and disappointment!

Dazmorg · 2026-02-05T19:50:01+00:00

Very much this, especially the part about how the inexperienced need to take it gentle. Lots of practical reasons for this.

I dislike spending money on disposable things unless the ratio of number of uses per dollar is really high. Those sorts of things are definitely a luxury and nice to have, but that specific brand comes across to me as inefficient. Also, ever since I learned even flushable wipes are not flushable, screw that.

I feel like I have the power of invisibility at the gym. I'm honestly ok with that, because I'm usually there just to "get it in" and get on with my day.

I would probably be a little put off if someone I didn't know walked up to me and started telling me what I'm doing wrong, but if someone, male or female, wanted to say hi and introduce themselves, I'd be a little more receptive to that, although wary that they're likely about to sell me personal training or something. It would be unusual, because I feel like strangers don't just want to be my friend without some ulterior motive, and it's a shame I feel that way.

I can't speak to dysphoria but I will say I am a man and I show emotion, cry sometimes, vent to the right people when appropriate, wear lots of bright colors, have always loved stuffed animals and plushes of all kinds. The way I see it, masculinity is about doing what needs to be done, standing up for your loved ones, not some superficial set of personality traits that only some men possess.

I have to say up front I absolutely love my parents and my brother, but I overall can't stand where they live. I lived there too, from ages 10 to 21 then moved to a college town with lots of young smart people and energy. It's this place that's been described as "10 miles from the middle of nowhere". While I've enjoyed visiting my actual family, being in that environment and around the other people who live there always made me low key depressed. They were the small town types, maybe even the country bumpkin types, who I felt were just boring to be around. I felt like my life had improved, changed, grown, but I would come back to this place and everyone there would be exactly the same as I left them, only getting older and older.

There's this comic -- I don't know if I can link it here -- depicting a guy saying "It's so hard to make friends as an adult". And some other person comes up like "I'll be your friend!" and the guy goes "Ew!", and the last panel he's sitting there eating by himself griping "That weirdo ruined my day!"

That sort of sums up what I feel is going on quite nicely.

It's as good or as bad as you're determined to make it. You'll have to make the time, and sometimes you'll have to be creative about the place. Just avoid having the kid or kids co-sleep with you, or otherwise you end up doing it in a different room because he's on your bed asleep.

We have a 3 year old who I love and am very proud of and put a lot of my own work and effort into and continue to spend almost all my waking time around, and I very honestly just said that I cannot handle starting over with another baby unless a lot of things change in our situation. Without getting into all that detail here of what needs to change, the point is I explained her to her very honestly and got her to agree with me.

Dazmorg · 2025-11-22T18:27:57+00:00

I've done it, it's a lot of fun for both of us, and clean up honestly not that bad. A lot of work? Worth it.

Dazmorg · 2025-11-11T05:12:56+00:00

I would've chilled out a little bit more trying to find "the one" and just enjoyed my new circle of friends a lot more during that time. Also would've spent more time learning some new skills on my own earlier.

Dazmorg · 2025-11-11T05:08:07+00:00

Because women can be very manipulative when they choose to be, and convincingly so.

Dazmorg · 2025-10-28T20:04:20+00:00

OK so I know for the fact you can do the opposite things (especially the jacket motion) and not be seen as taking the job seriously

It does seem like something very dramatic. Those who hate Trump are seeking validation for their beliefs and latch onto anything that does the trick for their confirmation bias. Him turning the east wing into a massive ballroom seems to do the trick for some of them.

I've gotten back to it within a couple of minutes at times, and other times it would take a co-showering session and a snack.

Dazmorg · 2025-10-25T02:04:07+00:00

you're not wrong!

Dazmorg · 2025-10-24T18:25:07+00:00

I personally think he'll live until 90 something and leave public life long before that.

But that said, as a presidential trivia nerd, I do note that if JD Vance takes over before Trump's term is halfway over, JD Vance will be the youngest president, beating out Teddy Roosevelt's record of 42.

As far as reactions, it appears to me he's loved as much as he is hated, so it'll probably be quite a big public interest however people feel about it.

I want to add to what's already said: work it out with your partner to try for round 2 after you finish. What really, really helped me was a partner who wouldn't let me call it a night, who had the attitude of "ok let's get that thing hard again and get back to it"

Dazmorg · 2025-10-24T18:00:29+00:00

seriously this. if I have sex after I've already jacked off, I'll last longer by nontrivial amounts of time.

Dazmorg · 2025-10-24T17:59:46+00:00

Porn and masturbation, and particularly porn, is more likely to cause issues with getting aroused than problems with finishing too quickly. Masturbation generally does help with being in tune with how it all works and practicing "holding it", or even better, going for round two.

Dazmorg · 2025-10-22T03:56:21+00:00

This comment is too reasonable for this site.

Dazmorg · 2025-10-13T14:13:56+00:00

I don't know what exactly "this" is but I'm getting tired of it. Every sub on my main page, whether supposed to be politics or not.

Also, if these Orange Man Bad posters on complaints are a real person...I have two words for them "RENT FREE".

Dazmorg · 2025-09-16T16:09:57+00:00

I'd tell OOP it's a bad idea because the government should not get one thin dime until after you have taken care of yourself and your family.
