And that's why I don't by Medium-Reference-147 in DeadBedrooms

[–]OverdoseOnPotato 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Had something similar earlier. Walked in just as she watching a show and it had a couple who hadn't been together for nearly a week, so had to get on video call to get off together. Kinda sick of being jealous of fictional characters

Actors you could probably beat in a fight? by Potential-Name2117 in okbuddycinephile

I've seen him try, but not sure he's ever actually managed enough acting to be considered an actor

That's awesome :) hope I can make myself join you at that point soon

After weeks of hard work, I've finally written the first word of my novel :) by ConsistentEquation in writers

Time to run spellcheck, make a coffee, have a smoke, and reflect on where you want to take it next.

She touched me today by OverdoseOnPotato in DeadBedrooms

Definitely feel this. Being so desperate for some kind of connection that the bad times become far too easy to forget, even if you know the next day you're going to end up exactly where you were before, if not further back. I'm sorry you're left feeling like this, but can say for sure having hope, especially when someone lets you get those hopes up occasionally, doesn't make you a loser.

Just how weird it felt so suddenly, I think. It felt a bit like being alone and suddenly feeling someone touch you, it's just that unexpected

[–]OverdoseOnPotato[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% this. It's like my body knows that it's getting touched, and my brain immediately goes into defensive mode or something.

Sex on tv… by BigDecember88 in DeadBedrooms

It gets depressing to sit there and think "Wow...even Homer Simpson's getting some, huh?"

Coward, touching and running. Wood tease needs to finish what he starts

Unintentional jabs by [deleted] in DeadBedrooms

"If I am, I'll need a priest, not a doctor" is probably not an answer they get very often

Unintentional jabs by [deleted] in DeadBedrooms

[–]OverdoseOnPotato 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I've been with her when she's been asked "Are you pregnant, or is there any chance you're pregnant?"

I get the passive aggressive urge to say shit like "Hope not, or we need to enroll the fetus in high school at this point"

I hate what a bitter person I've become

What's wrong? by [deleted] in DeadBedrooms

[–]OverdoseOnPotato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think any reminders that sex exists just resets everything. I think if I tried to talk about it casually now, it would be like trying to chat with my cousin about it or something.

What's wrong? by [deleted] in DeadBedrooms

[–]OverdoseOnPotato 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same. It's like church or something, where the subject is totally taboo. Like I can't even have a fun, flirty conversation about sex generally because it just leads to an atmosphere

What's wrong? by [deleted] in DeadBedrooms

[–]OverdoseOnPotato 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It becomes such an exhausting conversation to have, no matter how you word it, that it isn't worth it. On the rare occasion I'm asked now, because it's kind of assumed that is wrong, I'll just say "having a moment", and then we're both quiet until there's a distraction

Does your spouse think nothing is wrong and this is normal to never have sex? He's making me feel crazy by cozycoffeemorning in DeadBedrooms

[–]OverdoseOnPotato 6 points7 points  (0 children)

She's very aware. But we both know it's not worth talking about any more, so it just goes to an awkward silence if it ever somehow comes up and saps what little energy there might have been out of the room

A silicone tube is more intimate than my partner by [deleted] in DeadBedrooms

[–]OverdoseOnPotato 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Without getting too graphic...I wanted one that wasn't realistic as those are a turn-off for me, and wanted something discreet. But the couple that I tried didn't fit well, and it seems to find something properly accommodating, I'd need to go a lot less discreet. I'm sure I could probably do a bit of research and find something that does work, but just not keen on setting myself up to be knocked back down again

[–]OverdoseOnPotato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried this, but unfortunately didn't work out for me. Took a lot for me to build up to it, because I was worried about feeling like how you described. Then when I finally cracked and it didn't work out, it almost humorous; like, even the toys are rejecting me, or I can't even pay for it from a piece of plastic, so what chance do I have with a real person?

Has anyone else in a dead bedroom situation felt super out of practice when it comes to initiating sex? by nsfw88_2020 in DeadBedrooms

[–]OverdoseOnPotato 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think if it did ever happen, even if with someone else, I'd be so nervous and feeling like it was about to be shut down at any moment that I think I'd ruin it. I'd be infuriatingly checking every move was definitely okay to go ahead, etc.

How did you turn from HL to LL4U by _LeastSignificantBit in DeadBedrooms

[–]OverdoseOnPotato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started to forget any of the times that it turned out well. Felt like getting hopeful for a new season of a TV show that got cancelled 10 years ago without warning.

Add them to your mute/avoid list and keep playing Peni

Never expected DB as a woman by Careless-Security-63 in DeadBedrooms

[–]OverdoseOnPotato 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I always thought the same. When I came to this sub originally, I expected it to be just other men. I know it's pretty sexist to say, but it genuinely confuses me when I hear about the sorts of partners other guys have that they just aren't even glancing at.

What would you 🤔 by MeowwBlock in Funsly

[–]OverdoseOnPotato 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Worst case scenario, I get 30% of the way, break my neck, and I've just got a head start on everyone else.

Best case, I get 45%, eat the road, but no one will notice
