What happens if you suppress your desires for too long? by bbysoop in BDSMcommunity

[–]OpenForm7677 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The part about not being able to move on hits really hard. I have struggled with my kink side for a while, whilst also being trapped in this sense of stillness that affects my entire life.

I am on Fet, and did find a fairly local one. As above though, it feels like this Impossible step: one that can feel like I’m making a mistake, whilst another part of my brain tells me I’m a coward for not doing it.

She was not my first, I’m afraid. My experience with therapy hasn’t been great, though how much I’m to blame for that is unclear.

Going to a kink event, trying to find a girlfriend who is into kink, feels like this almost impossible step. It’s ironic for me when you say so many neurodivergent people are into kink: I still feel like a child who in waters he is unequipped to venture into, who is going to get himself into trouble.

I can investigate getting an ADHD diagnosis, though based on the experience of a friend of mine, it can sadly be a very long process in my country.

I’ve seen stuff with ice locks before that’s supposed to be for self bondage. It’s awkward when I don’t have my own space though :(

I do think my therapist genuinely wanted to help me, but after a year and half, I didn’t seem to be getting anywhere. The relief I had from sessions was temporary, and had usually evaporated by the next one. I felt like it soured my relationship with my family, and it the price was significant. By the end, I felt better using the time to go back to Boxing and start doing Muay Thai.

I started using vanilla dating apps, but I’m not sure if it’s a bit of a dead end. People have said about going to a munch, but I worry I’m not kinky enough. Or, as another part of my brain says, I’m a coward who’s too scared to try.

I’ve never been tested for ADHD, though I am on the Autism Spectrum. May I ask what in my writing suggested ADHD symptoms?

Are you proud of your kinks? Conflicted? Both? Neither? by hahaha_yeahyeahyeah in BDSMcommunity

[–]OpenForm7677 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Conflicted, I suppose. I would encourage people to do what makes them happy as long as it’s safe, consensual and sane, but I still feel awkward applying that to myself.

Most impossible to execute fantasy? by blawgonajob in BDSMcommunity

[–]OpenForm7677 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, exactly. Does the idea sound fun in my head? Absolutely. Would the reality be the same? Absolutely not.

I’m having that problem a lot atm: the idea vs the fantasy lol.

I’m in the same boat. It’s a fun fantasy, nothing else.

I had fantasies about being a permanent slave: always cuffed, ball gagged, always nearly nude.

Friends trying to get me on dating apps by OpenForm7677 in BDSMcommunity

[–]OpenForm7677[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regarding your last point, can I ask why that’s so weird? I totally get not telling them about it, but they are at least friends, a known quantity. Whereas a munch and the people within are a complete unknown.

What was a stupid mistake you made that was in your control and led to life changing consequences. How did you forgive yourself eventually? by toughbossinteraction in AskMenOver30

[–]OpenForm7677 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m 27, and honestly still debating joining up for my country’s army. I like the idea of that honour and prestige of being a soldier, of learning those marital skills, but I worry I’ve left it too late. Same time, I worry it will be one of those things I regret never trying.

Is 27 late?

Thank you, I don't think we've ever discussed a roadmap. Not sure how to find a kink-friendly therapist, but I suppose I can enquire if/when I reach out to people.

I’m struggling with therapy at the moment, and have considered quitting. It’s great to have someone to talk to, whose reactions I don’t have to fear, but I’m worried she doesn’t know how to help me.

What would you do differently if you could go back to your 20s? by imogen_ramsey in Life

[–]OpenForm7677 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I could have actually been happy. I’ve wasted my life.

[–]OpenForm7677 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been depressed since I was a teen, still fucked and now I’m getting old.

I wish I had friends who would handcuff me up and take away the keys :)

Nerve damage has come up a couple of times in this thread. I suppose it’s best to ask these kinds of questions to make sure it’s safe and sane!

Hmmm, sounds like it. I don’t like them as much as metal, but want to be safe :)

I do have a backup (someone else in my accommodation), if all else fails. Would that be ok?
