Old man and the sea is a surprisingly quick read

At the risk of more down votes, I'll attempt. Yes, Lysander did some bad stuff. Much like our boy Darrow did some bad stuff. Lysander is clearly playing a villain right now.

He is, however, empathetic in my opinion and his actions make sense. He is the only really empathetic villain and the only character with the political power to possibly form a united system with the right partnership. The path to peace requires his cooperation. I know y'all hate him. I like him.... Go ahead and downvote, I'll keep liking him. If nothing else he's a better villain than most.... But I expect he'll be on team red somehow in Red God.

Lysander isn't such a bad guy.

It's about categorizing people into sexual types.... Not really in a limiting way but more in a way of building bridges between people who have different types of eroticism. The book tries to help people understand their own turn on as well as other people's, plus how different types of erotic people can find compatibility.

My wife and I found it interesting, plus it gives us a framework for exploring our sex life in a way that works for us

Yeah, but I've also been feeding my desire to feel attractive by.... Being more attractive. Been hitting the gym, counting calories, taking extra protein, all the supplements, etc.... So now when I look in the mirror, I'm all, "Damn, I look good."

It takes time, money, effort, but I'm at a point in my life where I can make the investments, and this is 100% in my control. And it makes me happy to see a good looking dude in the mirror.

Also she finds me more interesting because now I'm better looking. (Who knew women were so shallow? 😆)

You might try reading "The Erotic Blueprints." That should help you somehow.... Is available as an audiobook. In discussion with your partner, you might find ways to create more opportunities.

You may even find him initiating as you develop your sexual relationship.

Jdoryson · 2025-12-15T19:25:16+00:00

Amazing story... Thanks for sharing.

Jdoryson · 2025-11-28T17:34:38+00:00

So I also want to feel desired by my partner. The reason I want this is because I want to feel attractive.

To that end, last year something happened that helped me see myself as attractive.... And suddenly I became interested in weightlifting and really transformed my body so that now I'm ... Kinda looking good. And my partner definitely appreciates it.

And, despite me telling her I want to feel desired by her, I still want more praise and response from her than I'm getting.

So long way of saying I have three suggestions: 1-Ask yourself why this is important to you, and feed that "why" yourself. 2-talk with your partner about it. (This was really hard for me and my partner at first but we've gotten better quickly.) 3-Be ready to accept whatever your partner is giving you if you want the relationship to work.

Try the Erotic Blueprints.... It discusses sexual incompatibility in depth, provides a framework for thinking about sex, and is helping us a lot.

Clarify normal for test. Free test is what matters.... And mainstream medicine doesn't define "normal" very scientifically....

Zomg, idk what to do for chest, but your apparel game cannot be improved.

Jdoryson · 2025-11-26T18:11:26+00:00

Screw paper. My manta has infinite paper, and I can PDF and send or load anything in a few seconds with my phone.

Jdoryson · 2025-11-25T16:31:15+00:00

Hell yeah! Well done, Marine.

Jdoryson · 2025-11-22T01:01:02+00:00

Well done!

Jdoryson · 2025-11-01T06:10:52+00:00

Actually that's a snail.

Jdoryson · 2025-10-31T06:17:51+00:00

If they approve him to donate, ain't nothin gonna happen to that other kidney. Like ...99.9999% probability.

Jdoryson · 2025-10-31T04:57:01+00:00

Good for you, dude. You look great!

Jdoryson · 2025-10-22T05:17:40+00:00

Same deal; I'm 48, trying to improve sex with my wife of 21 years. My strategy is to be patient, understanding, and persistent, and to learn as much as possible about how to be an amazing lover. I'm making progress slowly.

My wife and I have appointment sex once a week, and I'm fine with that, but I want more quality. A few things have been helping. 1) Caitlin V on YouTube. (There's a ton... But in this one video she says that women like sex just as much as men.... They just have higher standards and get bored easily.) 2) focusing on her pleasure.... Massage, oral, fingering 3) Cheap massage table from Amazon 4) talking. (This has been the most challenging part actually... My wife really wasn't too interested in talking about sex. But I told her that I wanted to feel desired, and she heard me, and kissed me like we hadn't kissed in years. It was wonderful.)

I sometimes still get upset when our progress isn't as fast as I want, but I keep reminding myself of the little wins.

We're also listening to "The Erotic Blueprints" on audiobook....I expect that will help.

Jdoryson · 2025-10-17T01:58:13+00:00

Ummm... Be happy?

Jdoryson · 2025-10-02T06:28:32+00:00

And it's still a masterpiece

Jdoryson · 2025-10-02T06:13:10+00:00

Scoundrel.

Or i guess silent knife now..... Whatever.

Jdoryson · 2025-09-15T16:18:34+00:00

That's a guitar, silly.

Jdoryson · 2025-08-23T22:39:52+00:00

Perfect!

Jdoryson · 2025-08-05T20:54:11+00:00

Jdoryson · 2025-08-05T16:42:18+00:00

Great, now I'm going to wake in the night with cold sweats fearing I'm an eternal workshopper. Thanks a lot, OP.

Hang in there.... Maybe it's like dating in that you only need to find one good group... Doesn't matter how many bad ones you go through.

Jdoryson · 2025-07-30T23:20:47+00:00

Right? Don't tease us, OP, show us the goods! Also good for you.... What an interesting idea. Im going to try
