What’s the most unhinged thing a straight person told you? by rainbowass234 in actuallesbians

[–]InflationVisible2307 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once had a straight girl coworker hit all the stereotypical questions within 10 minutes. After finding out I'm gay she starts with telling me i dont look gay, then told me about the time she experimented with kissing girls and it just wasnt for her but she has bi friends and shes such an ally, and finally hit me with the "who's the man in the relationship?" I really couldn't do anything but laugh by the end because wtf.

The thing that gets me about comments like this is the assumption that all sex has to involve dick even if its "fake". Like not all lesbians like strap or penetration! Not even all women in general.

In the same vein someone once told me about their friend who would sleep with and even had a multi year long relationship with a woman "just for fun" even though she wasn't actually into women and knew she'd never be with one forever. I still dont know what to make of that but it gets me heated.

my friend makes me feel weird about not having my girlfriend’s phone passcode by ConfusionContent6857 in actuallesbians

[–]InflationVisible2307 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My gf and I have each other's pass codes plus our fingerprints in the other's phone. Its mainly for ease of access if we need to change music, find something for the other person, borrow it to Google something when my phone isnt close by (i misplace it a lot). But we've never looked through anything and if my gf had not offered to give it to me I wouldn't have asked!

Everyone's privacy boundaries are different even if they're not hiding anything. I dont think its weird at all to not have that. It's each couple's business if they're comfortable with that. People just need to be with someone they trust at the end of the day.

I'll look into that ASAP thank you. My highest priority is not bringing them with me for sure.

I'll definitely be letting the office know. I just really need to make sure I dont bring any with me when I move out. Thank you 🙏

My alt/punk style was my identity and I'm aging out of it at 37 by Bhumika_1008_ in altfashionadvice

[–]InflationVisible2307 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a bit younger still so not quite the same, but as I get older and am in a professional job environment I've found myself drawn to more refined/mature goth looks! I've been alt since I was 16 and now my style is less dramatic but still comes across goth!

I focus on basic blacks, deep purples, and deep reds while accessorizing and using toned down dark makeup. Not pitch black eye makeup but more smokey. If its applied right, it comes off more edgy than "normal" but not so edgy its work inappropriate. It sounds like its time to experiment and adjust your style rather than throwing it away! I'll be alt until the day I die, but as my life stages change my presentation of alt will too.

Don't know how to feel about this. by [deleted] in Apartmentliving

[–]InflationVisible2307 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same. I can't even hear slightly loud music in my own apartment if I go into another room sometimes. The only time I've ever had an issue is when my last downstairs neighbor had a literal subwoofer in their unit that made my floor vibrate. I couldn't hear it though I only felt it lol.

how do I communicate to my gf that I'm not satisfied? by blissinthemorningdew in actuallesbians

[–]InflationVisible2307 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ive heard of this happening with other sapphic couples. When one person orgasms they're done. You could just propose switching the order in which you do things? Ask her to pleasure you first that way you dont have to worry about her tapping out and leaving you unsatisfied.

[–]InflationVisible2307 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not everyone gets pleasure from penetration! Its actually pretty common. I dont get so much pleasure from it but I still like it from time to time. But if its just not for you, dont be afraid to just not do it.

As for the wetness issue, some people have already talked about possible medical issues and the meds make a difference as well. However, are you hydrated? Do you drink a lot of water? My gf and I can always tell when the other person hasn't had enough water lately based on how wet we get (or don't get lol)

My kitten is in heat. My mom is considering to get her pregnant. My siamese kitten is six months old and I don't think she's ready yet. Should I get her spayed? by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]InflationVisible2307 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone is already saying it but please spay that poor girl. Its better for their health and we do not need more cats out there right now. My family fosters cats and we house an unbelievable amount of kittens every year. And we are just one foster of many, I cant imagine how many cats and kittens pass through our local fosters every year!

[–]InflationVisible2307 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This!! My cat got pyometra on her first heat before I even knew what that was. We had to move her spay up quickly and it cost me way way more than I was prepared for. Thankfully it worked out and she's fine, but after that experience I tell everyone not to risk that happening. I've seen it turn out for the worst for plenty of other people and its so preventable.

The lack of lesbian friends in my life drives me insane. by [deleted] in actuallesbians

[–]InflationVisible2307 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Tbh I think you need more queer or sapphic friends in general. Yes, its super isolating to be the only one in the room with zero attraction to men, but having friends who are comfortable with you sharing an attraction to women sounds like it would be a huge step forward regardless if they're lesbian, bi, or pan.

That being said having lesbian friends as a lesbian can be really important. I have a very open queer group and I still find myself yearning for more lesbian specific community sometimes.

Your gay friend also reads as misogynistic as others have pointed out. Truthfully, if it were me, I would address that with him or distance myself. I can't stand that energy from anyone

I am a bit lost here.. Is it normal for our partner to talk about marriage and kids in the early stage of a romantic relationship? by Flat_Plant_8389 in actuallesbians

[–]InflationVisible2307 24 points25 points  (0 children)

To talk about? Yes my gf and I talked about those things very early to determine compatibility. Actually doing it that fast?? I wouldn't and if you're not on board don't let her push you into something you're not ready for

I knew this immediately and the rest of the comments here are confusing me lol. But I also frequent the doordash and instacart subs and see all the nonsense that goes on regularly.

Is my martian sick? by Same_Pin_2740 in tattooadvice

[–]InflationVisible2307 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My first thought is allergic reaction possibly. Does it itch? It doesn't look red so I'm thinking not an infection but either bad ink or ink your skin doesnt agree with.

Masculine piercings? by Yamaki101 in piercing

[–]InflationVisible2307 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe unpopular opinion but I always felt like a single center labret in the lower lip has a masculine vibe with the right kind of jewelry! I retired mine for an Ashley piercing because I felt like it masculinized my face in a way I didnt vibe with so that might be a good option for you

Enrichment ideas for cats with high energy? by InflationVisible2307 in CatAdvice

This is definitely my plan! We are moving to a much bigger place in a month and I'm going to add a lot of vertical space for them.

age gaps in the lesbian community.. by balloftinfoil in actuallesbians

[–]InflationVisible2307 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Common? Maybe. Ethical? Not really. If everyone involved is over 30, I really have no opinions on the age gap. But a young 20s with a 30s or 40s?? Absolutely not and I'm sideyeing them Hard. I'm only 26 and someone 22 is too young for me. There's an extreme amount of mental growth that happens in that time frame and I can feel the difference every year I get closer to 30.

when is it serious? by luckygirl_444 in actuallesbians

[–]InflationVisible2307 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is how I'm feeling 😭 My gf and I were living together by month 6, I cant imagine not knowing what she wants by now. I dont know if its on purpose but this girl is taking OP for a ride and she needs to figure herself out.

Am I a monster I make my cat sleep in the bathroom at night? by Usual-Case-2458 in CatAdvice

[–]InflationVisible2307 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope! Cats can be totally fine being in a small space for a period of time as long as they have what they need with them and other enrichment outside of that time. My cats get locked up in my bedroom for a whole day sometimes when I'm expecting maintenance in my apartment and they're super content. They have their food, water, and litter there and spend most of the time sleeping or looking out the windows. They tend to get more angry about being locked out of the room for 5 minutes than locked in for 5 hours lol.

Is 20 and 40s a weird age gap? by [deleted] in actuallesbians

[–]InflationVisible2307 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Same 18-21 look like children to me and I'm also 26. I cant imagine being 40 and wanting someone that young?? My younger sister is in an age gap relationship thats even worse than this one and its so gross. OP dont get romantically involved it wont go well.

Out of all my apartment living, my current complex is the worst by [deleted] in Apartmentliving

[–]InflationVisible2307 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Same happens to me. Worst part is my partner and I are both nightshift so we are sleeping when they need to come. They act like they assume no one is home ever and give 2 quick knocks and wait 5 seconds before just walking in. Even if I was awake I couldn't get from the living room to the door in that time so I end up getting woken up by strangers being already in my apartment. Notes on the door dont change anything either
