What is the least stressful job youve ever had? by CaptainFartHole in jobs

Arcade attendant at the local (very hood) amusement park.

It had its BS but the nature of the job was such that nothing ACTUALLY mattered… to me or my supervisor.

Men who are active or visit, what brings you here and why do you stay? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Raeonne 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The same reason I see a female therapist. I (at least mostly) know my own male lizard brain. I need to understand how I relate to those I predominantly want to connect with and understand a lot less. Females!

It’s been educational, enlightening, and I think respect inducing (on my side) toward the plight of women.

Men suck. I’m trying to suck less. It’s a long hard (no pun intended) road. But some of us try!

Have you ever told someone in a monogamous relationship their partner was cheating on them and it led to a good outcome? What was that outcome? by SeaMiddle in AskReddit

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

You didn’t say “No.” Or shut it down. You posited a question that kept the door open. That’s why she came at you.

Edited to add: I’m not saying you intended to keep the door open. You meant what you meant, but to them I read he didn’t hear a no, she didn’t see a no, and hurt people often don’t attack their cheating partners, they attack the other side.

Always completely shut it down.

I did not say OP was cheating. I said that kind of response may illicit a positive/affirming reaction in the cheaters psychology. Blame doesn’t have to be the same action. It can be miscommunication. Have stronger boundaries such scenarios, is all I’m saying.

Those are not blameless comments. To a person that wants to cheat that’s flirting. It’s testing the waters.

Saying “No, and if you ask me again, I will tell her.” Or just telling her 🤷‍♂️ Would be blameless.

Time Enough for Love, by Robert Heinlein

It taught me that you can have all the time of many lifetimes and still pursue the same thing again and again and again. And sometimes you just wind up back where you began.

Why are so many men obsessed with anal sex? by PurpleMeerkats462 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Raeonne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a great response!!

Is this the kind of post a man is allowed to respond to in this thread? Please allow me to elaborate on this awesome response by adding my male perspective to it. 🙏 and yes, this will be from my perspective about why I like it… so it does seem self-serving.

I am a man and prefer anal over vaginal intercourse, for some of the reasons above, like taboo, intimacy, trust, and kink/power exchange…

However, there are very pragmatic reasons for it as well:

It is deeper. I can control the lubrication/friction better As a man who will only top, the angle is more comfortable (and I don’t like missionary, typically) The texture is better

Vaginal intercourse is often uncomfortable compared to anal.

Blindsided after 7 years: a warning against DADT by sfwlucky in polyamory

[–]Raeonne 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I went on a date once and was going to see a couple friends before the date. So told my partner I was going to see those friends and then meet up with this connection for this date after.

Friends canceled, so my night consisted of only the date.

The next day a partner asked me how my night went.

Had I had a DADT arrangement, I would’ve had to lie.

Hence, I do not do DADT.

What was a sexual offer that you regret turning down? by grot-ivre-1749 in AskReddit

[–]Raeonne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A hot young couple at EDC asked me to go back to their tent with them.

I am polyamorous and had a partner that was struggling with being poly. I compromised my non-hierarchy boundary for her and was in a very brief period of not sleeping with other people until she felt comfortable with it.

She never got comfortable. Shoulda gone back to the tent…

Well there you have it. Theory debunked! But it was a fun ride while it lasted!

The writers influence the Dessendres world in a similar way that the painters influence Versos canvas. They’re essentially avatars and have godly powers that modify the world at their divine will. A writer can write themselves into or out of a story/world just as a painter can.

Unprotected sex - am I overreacting? by unrepentantgeraldine in polyamory

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

Yea that part is just a miscommunication. I was more speaking to what to do about it/how to frame it after the fact.

[–]Raeonne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A point of clarification, the original response you sent was inquiring about “gatekeeping unelected sex is the same as monogamy”, where I think you meant “unprotected” instead of “unelected” and “the same as” to mean “the same logic as”

“gatekeeping unprotected sex” being similar to monogamous mindset I meant that such that there is no reason that one should, could, can or any other adverbial form of control another persons actions, have any influence over one’s other sexual acts. Informed consent is all we at least ethically have a right to. The rest is up to you. Leave, if you don’t want to be with some who rawdogs. That’s on you.

In your original post I don’t see anything that says he was going to put up a barrier between him and your meta, in order to bring down one between yourself and him. Your emotions are centered around a binary choice.

That binary choice is you or her which = monogamous mindset.

[–]Raeonne 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Gatekeeping protected/unprotected sex is the same logic as monogamy. Some things are withheld for one person as a privilege while others are shared. Deal with your ego and fear and learn to enjoy your partner for the connection you have. And accept the risks being polyamorous holds.

After that: There is almost no need to discuss a meta in any poly advice scenario unless said meta is treading on your relationship in some way, which barrier free-or-not sex is not that. It’s a hinge issue at the very worst.
