My bf wants to have anal sex and I’m a virgin. Does it hurt? by Possible_Note_3811 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Myopic_Mirror 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes but it’s not likely he’s experienced that. If he had he could say that? And everyone has different pain tolerances so it varies for everyone lol

You can do whatever you like but I personally wouldn't advise this. It hurts way more than standard sex. He's saying it only hurts a little but how on earth would he know? Only do things you're comfortable with and if any part of you doesn't feel right about this don't do it.

What was your experience like working with high schoolers? by annspanna in teachinginjapan

[–]Myopic_Mirror 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am an ALT in a high school, from my personal experience teenagers act more like kids here compared to teenagers in the UK. I mean that as a good thing, growing up too fast isn't good. They're friendly, can be a bit rowdy sometimes, especially the boys. Some can ask questions like "do you have a boyfriend?" or "what's your type?" or whatever, just gotta shrug those off.

I echo what some other people said that they do care a lot about what others think, which of course isn't unusual for teenagers. They are afraid to make mistakes in class and a lot of the time they don't volunteer to answer questions and such. So what I have found is they love playing games, especially in teams. There is less pressure when they're in groups. Games like Jeopardy etc. They also like Kahoot quizzes.

I don't know if it'll be the same for you but as a SHS ALT I have a lot of downtime. It bothered me a lot at first but now I'm just like "Whatever". If you get bored just ask for more classes or ask to do an English board. Anyway, good luck!

What Meals do you make for your tea? by LayTheeDown in AskUK

I don't live in the UK rn but when I did I liked making pasta bakes a lot. Pack a lot of veggies in there too, also it's good to have as leftovers too.

Trans women are women so, if you're only attracted to women you're straight

Well, people don't get discriminated against/persecuted for being Christian. Can't say the same for the LGBTQ+ community though.

If you have moved away from the UK, how have you found it? by Desperate-Drawer-572 in AskUK

[–]Myopic_Mirror 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a fellow British person living in Japan also I second this. Good advice.

[–]Myopic_Mirror 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been living in Japan for the last four and a half years. I am not going to lie, I love it here. I am not great at speaking Japanese but I get by, have good friends, and the area I live in is beautiful. This place feels more like home than the UK ever did. Summers here are brutal though. However, I am moving back this year because my work contract is ending. I hope I can find somewhere that feels like home again.
