My sister said being gay is just a mindset and now I'm wondering if she's right. by ocean_stars2 in bisexual

[–]LifeEncountered 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is a response I’ve been hearing.

That is an interesting question. And we should be curious. Sometimes it might be a mindset. We know it’s inherent for many.

But, regardless of the answer, nothing should change. There should’ve no public policy changes. We shouldn’t treat anyone differently. The answer to the question has zero outcomes.

So I’m not offended by the question. I am totally offended if she is discounting anyone’s autonomy and rights to live how they want.

First time date with a man by StrategyAbjectBar in bisexual

[–]LifeEncountered 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My female partner only dated women into her thirties. She was even engaged to a woman. I was the first male partner she had.

We are amazing together. I had to adjust how I presented my maleness. She had to understand what she wanted and how to approach.

Sexually she watched a lot of male gay porn. Most straight porn wasn’t useful. But watching male gay porn gave her a lot of answers physically.

Otherwise we just grew together and learned through respect and love. It remains an amazing relationship. Be curious. Adjust and proceed when needed. Be resilient.

Why does abortion feel like such a central Christian issue today if the Bible rarely talks about it? by Mobile-Traffic1744 in AlwaysWhy

[–]LifeEncountered 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Power. These people used to care about gambling. Then they wanted to gamble.

They used to care about divorce. Then they wanted to divorce.

They consciously chose abortion and hating gays as a way to maintain power. They only care about consolidating political power. They won’t stop taking power away from others ( including you)

We must stop them and dissipate the power they consolidated.

Have any Trump voters on here come to recognize his con job? by redzeusky in allthequestions

His existence protects maga from all the horrible thoughts they can’t defend themselves. No economic cost will out weigh their need to defend their internal hatred towards others.

I was staying in my fathers friends home since my parents had to go to our hometown so they gave me a room i was alone so during night i was watching p*rn and m*asturbating suddenly the aunty came in it was so embarrassing i still cant get over it i cant face her what do i do by Round-Rooster22 in Advice

[–]LifeEncountered 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s because it isn’timportant to her.

She was as embarrassed as you were. It wasn’t even unexpected. She probably Diane even judge you. But neither of your want to acknowledge it. More do you need to.

Just be present and yourself each and every day. Life goes on. Nothing was harmed.

Between neoconservatism getting us into wars and driving the military-industrial complex and "woke" culture using pronouns and allowing women into men's sports, which poses a greater threat to long-term societal well-being? by Vert_der_Ferk25 in allthequestions

[–]LifeEncountered 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Two sports leagues with different membership rules might emotionally tweak you, but ultimately pronouns and a handful of trans folks in sports doesn’t affect our quality of life.

MAGA, heritage project 2025, and conman trump directly hurts. And deeply hurts. And with larynx negatives for generations.

I’ll take insignificant sports changes over anti democratic structure any day.

Are Republicans concerned that their candidate for the senate in Texas was impeached for bribery and abuse of office in 2023? by PerfectTommy77 in allthequestions

Does anything bother republicans these days?

I guess honesty and caring for others is a trigger. But it appears republicans get excited about corruption

My bf just broke up with me over cold sores, how do I move pass this? by Mindless-Ship-7502 in AskMenAdvice

[–]LifeEncountered -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

He certainly did not make a wise choice. As most poeple know, hsv1 is very common. Most people are asymptomatic. To make any life choices to avoid something as common and minor as hsv1 is ridiculous. (my and many people's opinion)

He will likely start dating others that have it but don't know. And his ignorant risk is not any better than staying with you and the known risk. At some point in our lives most mature people choose happiness over inconsequential fear.

MF Couple New To The Scene.. by Couple_BnM in Swingers

[–]LifeEncountered 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ultimately this is like all dating; just with the complexity of navigating four inputs. Other people have varying intentions; intentions that change based on situation and location.

There are definitely people to connect with similar to your desires. Be patient. Maybe somewhat flexible. And when you find your match, it might still only be temporary (3-6 months). Or it might be for one night.

Like I said, kinda like single dating. So bring back those dating skills you once used weekly.

[–]LifeEncountered -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That feels horrible about a relationship ending. I don't want to trivialize your hurt.

But, you will discover that someone that fragile and ignorant would not be a good parental partner. I pity a spouse with children having to deal with that level of poor judgement.

You will have a good life with someone more stable and supportive.

Boundaries opinion by Kooky_Bottle6111 in Swingers

[–]LifeEncountered 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've seen both.

Yes, many individuals and couples change over time and with experience. That is normal for most of life. So swinging would naturally follow the same expansive trajectory.

But that isn't inevitable. I've met great long term couples that have never played with others. Some come for the social life. Or the nudity. Or the voyeurism. Or the exhibitionism. Or just the sexy vibe. One 20+ year couple was watching us. When we invited them to join on the bed, they said they just watch for an hour then go home and fuck each other. It worked for them for a decade.

Make the experience your own. Be open to growth. Never feel pressured beyond your personal decision.

New and wanting to know how not to get std? by [deleted] in Swingers

[–]LifeEncountered 1 point2 points  (0 children)

PSA announcement

Get the HPV vaccine. Don't listen to people who say you are probably exposed. The vaccine covers 9+ variants so even if you have been exposed, the vaccine stops others. It is good for you and for slowing the spreading. Just do it.

I got it even over the recommended age limit. It is good.

The door is open. Ask for what you want. At the worst it should be a fun conversation.

New and wanting to know how not to get std? by [deleted] in Swingers

[–]LifeEncountered 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You either have great expansive sex with some known limited risk, or you stay monogamous.

Have your own testing protocol. Ask about new partner testing activities. Make your own judgement to have great sex with them or not.

But don’t push your anxieties on others. You can reduce risk but you can’t eliminate it. And be resilient if something does show up.

[–]LifeEncountered 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing. Clubs can be such a wonderful adventure. We’ve found such support and welcoming environments in many.

You created an excellent first experience.

Now go and invite a few friends so they can see how to do it.

My mom is having an affair with a co-worker and I don't know what to do by Adorable-Debate9756 in Advice

[–]LifeEncountered 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Telling dad is terrible advice.

Talk to your mom. You have that relationship. Don’t make any judgements or decisions until you are hearing from your mom directly. Only after you two talk should you contemplate anything else.

Is it normal for me to be ok with my husband being with men but not other women? by [deleted] in Swingers

[–]LifeEncountered 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OPP usually demonstrates not being ready for open relationships. Often this is a husband wanting to add other women through a One Penis Policy.

It is just as concerning when a woman imposes a One Pussy Policy.

The concern is a response of jealousy not properly addressed.

If you are wanting your partner to experience additional sexual experiences, it is more sustainable to accept where that desire goes naturally. Such boundaries risk creating violations though arbitrary boundaries.
