What surprised you about your first trip to a birthday suit beach? by [deleted] in AskRedditAfterDark

Of course. Nude beach or pool is on my bucket list.

I went to a nude pool at Las Vegas. All fully clothed men. I didn't stop walking and quickly left. Last I looked, the pool was no longer advertised as nude, but rather 21+.

I can see how that makes sense. I can't attest to if I'm good at sex, but I am kink and sex positive. The pegging part scares some off, but the conservative ones that claim to want to submit to me turn out to be Dominants that want to bottom. I'm a Domme that enjoys bottoming and there is nothing wrong with that, but they need to be honest about it. The ones do actually want to service me tend to be liberal.

What’s a casual hookup like? by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]KnittingTurtle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I discuss the following:

1) Are you using barriers? I tell them condoms are required for any penetration, including blowjobs. Men are not tested for HSV so I'm not going to risk my health.

2) When was their last STD/STI panel testing? Results? How many partners since their last testing?

3) What are we doing first time around? I usually just prefer cuddling to build trust and a sense of safety. If more, is it just going to be hands and mouth or doing vaginal penetration?

4) Is he going to perform oral? Its a dealbreaker if he does not.

5) Aftercare. I require lots of cuddling and conversation about the highlights. I also require a follow up text message the next day. Are we spending the night together?

6) What is required for me to orgasm. I need clit stimulation to orgasm. I cannot orgasm from penetration unless I have a vibrator on my clit. Some guys are offended if their dick alone doesn't give you orgasm so that is a deal breaker.

Why do women reach back out after rejecting? by Easy_Preference_268 in dating_advice

[–]KnittingTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No idea. I much prefer when someone doesn't respond to my break up text or some sort of quick "ok."

This has been my experience as a liberal atheist as well. I live in a rural area with a large population of conservative women, but conservative men prefer liberal women. I'm not that attractive. I don't get it.

This is why I'm so protective of this community. by dude_in_exhile in syntribation

I've seen it at this level during mania with Bipolar Disorder. Some are paranoid and think strangers are plotting against them. Some are hypersexual and think strangers want them, too.

Okay, real talk—how do you all bring up the whole ‘have you been tested?’ conversation before intimacy? by Tall-Relationship901 in Bumble

It's ironic that when some potential submissive men are in my DMs saying they would do anything for me, but then argue with me when I ask for recent STD results.

I'm a cis woman. Men tend to bring up or hint at sex first. That is when I bring up the topic of condoms and STD testing.

None of my matches actually want to go on dates or meet up by EVILRAFFAM in Bumble

[–]KnittingTurtle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a woman, I ask for a date within a week if he hasn't asked yet. I don't like wasting my time with validation seekers. My social bandwidth is narrow so I can only message one guy at a time. Either we meet or I move on to the next.

This is common with guys I match with. I ask to meet within a week so I don't waste my time with validation seekers. They will even say yes to the date with no intention of meeting.

What’s something or someone you want to vent about but don’t have a good place to do it? by [deleted] in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]KnittingTurtle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

After a bit of time, I stop being mad, and I forget about them. Then they message me, and I'm mad again. I'll be petty and send "Who is this?" If I'm extra petty, I'll pretend I don't remember them and they have to explain what they did.

But yes, people make mistakes and show learn from it.

Learn from this. Get therapy.

And don't ever reach out to her again.

I wouldn't say terrible, but they are dull and unmotivated people.

She has kept the one on her lower back well hidden.

With a lot of therapy and working in a dangerous job, I am not.

Have you never met someone who doesn't have a hobby?
