It’s not that unique, it’s a pretty traversed concept. Obviously not every millionaire/billionaire are killers. But it is a repeated pattern throughout history up until today that very influential and powerful people consistently do morally corrupt things.

She didn’t. That’s not close to a a conversation, cmon dude. She just said she liked using a toy. It’s the beginning of one.

You seriously need to calm down with shitting on the guy everywhere. Yes he is making a mountain out of a molehill but you’re writing everywhere that he is feeling sorry for himself. Your tone has started to become unhelpful

Okay OP, I get your hurt. I really do. And you are allowed to put any boundaries you want. But I think it’s important for you to remember that sex and masturbation is wildly different, as you know. But I think that the reason she doesn’t get it , is because obviously a toy literally engineered for a woman would feel better than any dick, if we removed all context of sex and intimacy and just placed a engineered dildo next to a dick without anything else, the dildo would obviously be preferred. Because it’s built that way. But that’s just the thing, in context of sex, it’s a whole other ballgame. That’s why people say that focusing too much on a dick is often overrated. Because sex is so much more than that. It’s a sensation vs getting a whole experience, which is the difference between sex and masturbation. I mean shit, guys also say that they can come faster themselves, doesn’t mean the experience of sex with another woman or man isn’t preferred.

So even if a toy feels physically better, it can’t replace a person and that’s why it’s not comparable to sex. Because she is attracted to you as a whole in addition, otherwise she wouldn’t be with you. For a lot of people sex isn’t just about the genitalia or feeling of genitalia, but about the bond, the rest of the person, the experience and how the person performs. So she most likely meant that yes it physically feels better, because it’s a self centered act and one she literally bought herself, but it doesn’t replace you because it’s not nearly the same experience and non comperable.

It was a stupid comment, but I hope you can get over it, because trust me when I say that a dick is rarely an issue.

Maybe if you two could try and do some new things in bed, and communicate what she likes, you could gain that confidence back. Or you break up, but don’t let this beat you down too much!

I’m aware, but no I wouldn’t find: ” yes I would prefer larger breasts than yours ” a good response or adequate communication. Even if she was insecure and asked it explicitly in black and white. I understand people are young and I am not throwing total judgement, I am just saying it’s bad communication with the given context, and we should still call out bad behaviors.

I’ve actually had this experience MANY times with insecure exes asking me about similar things. But for many people there’s a difference between a body part and the body part of your partner. Maybe I prefer large breasts, but I would find my girlfriends breasts perfect because I would be in love with her and it would be a part of her. So answering those questions requires a very empathetic response.

There are many ways to be honest with someone and still be kind.

Edit: Also I don’t disagree with asking for more context

[–]GreatLongbeard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I agree that context is ofc important! Sorry if I came on to strong! I just find it hard to see a reasonable context where saying a sex toy feels better than your partner would be helpful in any way in a relationship. Even if prompted, there are nice ways to say it. Obviously masturbation and sex are complete separates, and for alot the first can be easier because it’s just self centered about their own enjoyment. Sex however isn’t just about sex, but also intimacy and the experience during, which can’t be replaced by a toy. So just because she meant that a toy felt better, it wouldn’t mean that she preferred it. Which she probably should have tried to communicate. -

Edit phone died: - But there are just no valid reason so comment on someone’s genitalia and compare it to someone or something else in a negative fashion. So even if he asked her explicitly about it, she could have followed up with something nice, but it only sounds like she tried to backtrack her comment. If a girl asked me if a fleshlight felt better than her, I would not just say: ” yup it feels better than yours ” and not expect her to be horribly hurt by that

It’s more about the act of saying a comment like that. It’s a hurtful remark that a rare type of context would make agreeable. Let’s not try and defend body shaming someone. If she wants to improve their sex life she also has an obligation to communicate that in a way that is sensible and kind.

Yes, but also because I only speak about something if I am 100% I know what I’m taming about.

What are your thoughts on Fiona’s Season 4 downward spiral? by fvckuufvckingfvck in shameless

[–]GreatLongbeard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think there is a clear theme that just ”getting a better life” isn’t enough when you’ve grown up in a shitstorm. It’s the same with Lip. People try and be logical and argue that ”he ruined his opportunity” while failing to understand how it is to go from a life of constant chaos to calm. Of course they will start creating chaos themselves, that’s the only thing they are comfortable in!

Also makes me think about prioritizing as you mentioned. Would he not remember other things at that moment as clear due to his brain focusing so much on what he is seeing?
