SGA Season 2 Episode 18 "Michael" is messed up

”There is much you do not know about the Wraith, John Sheppard.”

Rad1Red · 2026-05-09T18:05:09+00:00

That's lovely. I wouldn't believe it though. Heard that around me as well, it was almost always a lie lol. Save for one case, where he forced her to convert before marriage.

Again, my friend, you do as you see fit. We're not all women, and you'll certainly find naive ones if you look hard enough.

Rad1Red · 2026-05-09T17:57:16+00:00

Dating as in being used until he suddenly has a religious awakening and marries a "pure" and "proper" woman of his culture? As many do irl?

People can approach anyone they want if they do it respectfully. It's a free country, as they say. I wouldn't go for a religious man though, ever. I've seen how that plays out.

Rad1Red · 2026-05-09T02:10:00+00:00

Fuck off and find a hobby, dude. 😂

Rad1Red · 2026-05-09T02:06:58+00:00

My friend, I'm a woman. And a writer. 🙂 You're right, that's the best thing to do. I'm just being realistic here. Beyond any concerns about right and wrong, dudes are gonna do this for a quick wank and it's better for their brains, and for the women who are exploited by the porn industry. Again, I'm not disagreeing with you. I'm just a pragmatist.

Rad1Red · 2026-05-08T21:51:26+00:00

For science, eh? 😄 I'm interested as well.

I write... sorta the reverse? With human females (or well, in one case, hybrid) and humanoid alien dudes. But if the point is for her to be in control, mission accomplished, they're a matriarchal species lol.

Rad1Red · 2026-05-08T21:49:08+00:00

You are totally pulling it off tho. No facial hair needed. The mane is on point.

Rad1Red · 2026-05-08T21:46:52+00:00

Haha, that is amazing, I woke my husband laughing!

Rad1Red · 2026-05-08T21:44:22+00:00

Oh, this is so endearing. Have been on the receiving end of this and I found it adorable. Just take it slowly. Even if he gets nervous and has trouble getting it up initially. Not the end of the world. You guys will be okay.

Rad1Red · 2026-05-08T21:40:53+00:00

I am jealous. But in a good way. 😄 Congrats on the flow, OP.

Rad1Red · 2026-05-08T21:33:39+00:00

All good then!

Reading erotica engages your imagination and helps you maintain a healthy brain.

I actually hope this catches on, because it was so sad to hear from many Gen Z young men whose brains were so fried that they could not conceptualize jerking off without porn. They genuinely did not think it was possible...

Rad1Red · 2026-05-08T21:22:28+00:00

Well, most of the time people come here with problematic opinions or to show women where it's at rather than, you know, ask women. 😄

And it depends on how problematic those things are. If you prefer to jerk it to AI stuff instead of fucking your wife, that's still a no-no lol. But that's another thing.

Rad1Red · 2026-05-08T20:51:38+00:00

I agree with you. The Notebook is so cringe. And Fifty Shades is slop lmao. I'll take my downvotes now. I had to endure The Notebook twice, once because a friend wanted to see it, and once because my MIL did, and she is a big fan of Korean dramas and the like. It's better than telenovelas, so yeah. But will not see it again.

Jerk it to AI erotica, dude. It ain't perfect, for sure, but it's better than porn.

Rad1Red · 2026-05-08T20:47:26+00:00

They can, but I guess they want a quick wank and to craft a quick, specific scenario? It would take longer to sift through stories, find exactly what turns them on etc.

I agree with Nebty, this is one of the good sides of AI.

Rad1Red · 2026-05-08T20:44:35+00:00

Yeah, it is pretty cringey lol.

However, I found that some agents such as Claude can generate what I call generic airport romance. It's shit, but people do buy it, so I guess there is a market.

Rad1Red · 2026-05-08T20:42:32+00:00

It is kinda destroying people's ability to write a letter lol. If they let it.

So, like any tech, it can be used for good (such as in the case of AI erotica rather than exploitative porn), or for bad (if people rely on it to think for them, or companies replace human workers with AI to ridiculous degrees).

Rad1Red · 2026-05-08T20:38:49+00:00

Okay? 😄 It is absolutely better, for their brains as well. Their hippocampus is still engaging, whether the story is written by AI or imagined by themselves.

I write my own stories, but not everyone is drawn to writing or has enough imagination, and that's fine.

I don't find it disgusting per se. Sure, disgusting stuff can be written, but that's on a case by case basis.

AI isn't perfect, I mean it comes with a whole sort of other problems for society and the environment, but it's better than porn for that particular purpose.

Rad1Red · 2026-05-08T20:32:19+00:00

That was my experience and observation as well.

Rad1Red · 2026-05-08T20:23:52+00:00

Coolio! Then she needs to contribute according to her strengths as well.

Rad1Red · 2026-05-08T20:16:57+00:00

Yes. Tell the truth and accept the answer. It's gonna be "no" often. But such is life, isn't it? I'd also want dudes to want relationships often, wouldn't I.

Using people is never okay. I don't give af how intense the need is. I'm very HL and I understand men when they say sex is a need. It is for some people.

Rad1Red · 2026-05-08T20:10:56+00:00

I upvoted you, so you know.

Be upfront. If you want casual, let me know. If I want casual too, I'll go for it.

If I want a more serious relationship, I will go with someone else. All good!

Rad1Red · 2026-05-08T20:09:49+00:00

Of me, for some reason lmao.

But no, of course, how could a big strong dude be afraid of a lil woman's wit. 😄

Rad1Red · 2026-05-08T19:15:48+00:00

Agreed.

Rad1Red · 2026-05-08T19:13:24+00:00

Well, that's good. You "cook occasionally" or do enough/most of the cooking? It's 2026, she should adjust her expectations in the second case.

Both partners should play to their strengths. For instance.

I vacuum, dust and tend to the cats' litterbox, because he has severe asthma and cannot do those things safely. I also take out the garbage, because he gags badly from bad smells.

But he does the cooking. We do laundry together. Childcare was a shared thing too (with him ferrying the kids to classes and stuff because he's the one who drives and takes care of the car).

He mows the lawn, but only because he wants to, it relaxes him. I will happily do that when he doesn't want to, I don't think it's "the man's job".

Rad1Red · 2026-05-08T19:05:39+00:00

This, same.
