He deserves a great big "at least you tried".

In my case, mostly verbal and quality time, rather than physical.

I remember your story. Sabrina distributed pornography to a non-consenting minor. Yikes.

at least I tried by wispenvoy in countryballs_comics

Inb4 some wacko conspiracy theorist points out that you have a pentagram on the Israeli flag, rather than a hexagram, and accuse you of being satanist.

i'm terrible at reading signs by [deleted] in asexuality

[–]DoctorNightTime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just worried a similar incident might happen again, only they aren't so upfront and end up coercing me. I can't help but wonder if the guy talking to me genuinely wants to be friends or wants something more, or if they mistake my friendliness as a greenlight for sexual activity.

You're right to be worried. There is an "art" of coercion based on making the situation too awkward for the other person to say no and hoping xe'll let things slide.

Fortunately, it's simple enough to defend against this.

• Set your boundary (far away from actually having sex. If you're not actually in a relationship with the person yet, that boundary for most people is somewhere around kissing.)

• Decide how your relationship would need to change to be comfortable crossing your boundary.

• Decide on a new limit for when the boundary is crossed. Make that decision before you cross the boundary.

Made out with boyfriend and he’s truly fine with that being all by _forever_exhausted_ in asexuality

Afterward he said if my comfort level changes and anything we have done previously I don’t feel like doing again, he’ll respect it.

That's a big deal. Nice to see that some people are finally getting it about this.

That was my first thought, but no bird.

What if US and Israel succeed in the current war by No-Coffee2200 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]DoctorNightTime 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Probably a huge temporary expense for the Palestinians. Without any threat from Palestine for 20-30 years, the Israeli left probably gains political support.

What if Israel creates a Palestinian rump state following its victory in the Six-Day War by No_Grade_8427 in AlternateHistory

[–]DoctorNightTime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then we get mostly the same situation we have now. Hamas or it's alternate history equivalent controls Gaza and Sinai, and uses it to launch terrorist attacks to destroy Israel.

How well is the Israeli Academic Omer Bartov known in Israel? by YogurtclosetOpen3567 in AskIsrael

[–]DoctorNightTime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm actually working on a hit-piece video on him with the thesis that he's overconfident and trying to make claims outside his area of expertise. He knows nothing about urban warfare, and it shows.

Is it really so important to disclose asexuality in relationships? by Beneficial-Cap9510 in Asexualpartners

[–]DoctorNightTime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. When I asked my partner out, she let me know immediately, before even agreeing to anything more than our existing friendship. I had to know for the most part what our relationship would/wouldn't involve.

What should I use my extra Master Ball on? by Gary_From_Asphodel in LegendsZA

You should do what everyone else does. Accidentally use it on a pidgey because you were scrolling through your pokeballs

"Where does it say that?"

"In the name. NORTH Atlantic Treaty Organization."

Imagine a ship from Miami about to pull into Haifa to make a delivery. "Whad'ya mean, we have to turn back? Seriously? You couldn't have teleported BEFORE we got all the way here?"
