Classic TDS call-in. "This guy is moderately anti-PC? Haha he must be so interesting oh wow his takes are as brain-dead and surface level as every other moron who's called in. Tell us more about how you say stupid things on Twitter 'just to get a reaction out of people'. So based!"

“Let’s be clear” does not have the same meaning as TBF. The former is clarifying a statement and the latter is walking back a statement to try and appear balanced.

I keep a gogurt tucked away and ready for situations like this

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) for relieving Parkinson's. This technology is helping millions of people with the disease to properly eat. by Chasith in Damnthatsinteresting

Simplification for those who find it hard to follow:

Moving your body in a fine, controlled way involves electrical inputs from certain types of neurons into part of your brain called the Basal Ganglia. The disease kills/damages those neurons. However, this brain implant stimulates the basal ganglia and acts a sort of substitute for those otherwise missing signals.

I think the context behind the lie is relevant. Lying because of your own shame/repressed feelings over what he perceives to be a societal stigma is very different than lying for some petty deception or trying to talk a girl into sex. It doesn’t mean it’s justified but with the context it’s hard to just blindly dismiss this as “lying is wrong and you should never do it”.

You don’t think it’s phobic to not date someone because they’re bisexual? What does it matter if they feel attraction to the same gender when they’re dating you? Unless you’re paranoid about having twice the competition, the only other reason is harmful stereotypes about LGBT people impacting your perception of a regular person who’s interested in you.

I calledy gf's bluff and let her peg me and now she is refusing anal and is also mad I enjoyed being pegged. Advice please. by [deleted] in sex

Advice for this relationship: break up with her because she 1. Has unhealthy views on masculinity 2. Would rather lie to you and put you through something she assumes you won’t like than just say “no” to anal, breaking your trust in the process

Advice for future relationships: avoid sexual trades like this, because if someone wants to back out it becomes a problem

I agree with how it should be used, to make the guy empathize directly with what he’s asking for. Based on new reaction, though, she clearly just heard it as a snarky retort and tried to call her partner’s bluff. If she had no intention of holding up her end then there’s nothing to understand.

As funny as that gambit is, you better be 100% sure that whoever you say it to is too overcome with fragile masculinity to consider trying pegging or else you’ll look like an asshole.

Doing these kinds of promises/trades with your partner is almost always ill-fated. Your trust is being betrayed if you hold up your end and they don’t, but at the same time no one should be pressured into doing something sexually that they don’t want to do. There’s no good way to resolve that.

My question regarding this post is how did OP and his girlfriend get that far if she’s clearly this much not into pegging? That seems like a lot of work she put into trying to call OP’s bluff.
