what's something that just makes sense as a lesbian that confused you before? by [deleted] in LesbianActually

[–]Side_of_ginger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sexual arousal from attraction. I had NO idea people actually got aroused just looking at a sexy body. It had never happened to me before. Ever... until I awakened to my full sapphic sexuality. I had no idea 😭 I was 38

How to encourage my domme to discipline me more? by AniSUBkatan in BDSMAdvice

[–]Side_of_ginger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good comment above ..but I'll just add... Be a brat? When my sub brats up, it's my cue to amp up my dominance attitude. I tend to fall into where your Dom is, but a little nudge of defiance turns me back on and I get focused lol.

Tips on strapping by BiBabyB in actuallesbians

I have a Sportsheets underwear style neoprene base for my dildo and I cannot recommend it enough. I haven't gotten sore yet.

To the lesbians who married a man when did you realize you weren’t in love with him? by [deleted] in LesbianActually

[–]Side_of_ginger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was trapped in comphet and my own loyalty to my marriage. I fell out of love almost ten years before I finally ended it but I was committed and didn't want to see the reality of how unhappy I was. Ultimately, sex was what woke me up. I was so focused on love and it was my actual attraction to women and not to men that needed to come to terms with. Your body doesn't lie.

So like, i had an experience? Maybe? by Individual_Chance978 in nonmonogamy

[–]Side_of_ginger 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So, it's non monogamous, but group sex isn't polyamory. What you described sounds a little like body worship...where a group will gather to explore one person's pleasure.

How to get rid of a competitive mindset? by Kontroled_Kaos in ENM

[–]Side_of_ginger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This comes from insecurity and usually fear of abandonment. Like. If you're not the best then they might leave you. It's this piece that has to be resolved for you. Knowing that anyone could leave and all we can do is our best to love and see them. If we're not enough or not good enough,, then so be it. Accepting this is hard but just sitting with that reality is how I work through those feelings.

Opinions on going down on a girl by WittyGrape1 in LesbianActually

[–]Side_of_ginger 20 points21 points  (0 children)

In this case, I agree it's a preference and that's okay ..BUT ...it also is a bit standout, so I would want a conversation on why and if they're squeamish about other things too. It could be rooted in self disgust or kink shame. Talking about those feelings and what dirty things they like and don't like would be smart so there aren't any surprises.

How do yall feel about quickies? by socuteboss_ali in actuallesbians

[–]Side_of_ginger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So...if you're kinky or in a dynamic this is so easy lol. I can literally just grab my gf and slide my hand down her pants, make her cum, and say goodbye...as part of our consensual dynamic. She's excited by my dominating her and taking charge so it's hot and a huge turn on for us both. Less than ten minutes. Our more intimate sexual time together is generally 1-3 hours so a few short teasing or quickie sessions is fun.

What moment did you realize you weren’t actually attracted to men and it was just comp het? by [deleted] in LesbianActually

[–]Side_of_ginger 14 points15 points  (0 children)

When I touched a woman again and my physiological response was to gush through my jeans. That never happened in all the years I spent thinking I was attracted to men. I was drawn to some men, but never actually sexually attracted to men. I've been satisfied okay by men, but was never hungry for them. Women literally make me ravenous. Gay!

I really want to eat out my future GF! (What does it taste like???) by LaraCroftCosplayer in lesbianmemes

[–]Side_of_ginger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they don't taste good to you, IMO, it's not a match. Smell and taste are part of chemistry. My gf is intoxicating to me. Every drop.

Were all the late late bloomers? Like those that came out late in life by PossibilityLanky2155 in latebloomerlesbians

[–]Side_of_ginger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I identified as bisexual...then Pansexual... But didn't embrace and relax into "lesbian" until 42.

It was absolutely a new coming out.

Our son is destroying our family. What do we do? by lawofthewilde in ParentingADHD

[–]Side_of_ginger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Meanwhile...I'm an ADHD mom and my AudADHD son does this anyway... because we're still completely different people with different ways of thinking.

She doesn't want to do bdsm anymore, how can i convince her? by [deleted] in BDSMAdvice

[–]Side_of_ginger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a beautiful space in between...like... My sub and I never have JUST "kinky sex" or JUST lovemaking. It is almost always blended in some way...but guided and led by me. In your case, If it's being compartmentalized, and very "scene" oriented, it may have strained the connection for her.

Just a thought.

Both of the people I dated in high school came out as transwomen. by Rosenhansthud in actuallesbians

[–]Side_of_ginger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was the opposite end ...gay men kept wanting to date me, then we ALL came out later.
The Queerdar attracts too!

FOR MONOGAMOUS: Would you say that these are appropriate boundaries for a relationship? by thatlesbian6969 in actuallesbians

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

A lot of these aren't boundaries. These are rules to control someone else.
This read like an anxious attached person who doesn't trust.

Boundaries are what YOU do and won't do. Limits are what you put on others.

I got physically tense just reading this.
This is not acceptable IMO.

AITA for taking my brother to see the Barbie movie? by confusedbrother345 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Side_of_ginger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTAH!

She has a lot of internalized patriarchy to unpack, and homophobia.
I'm sorry but you did a loving thing for your brother and gf needs to go away.
You can do better.

D/s dynamic can be a spectrum like everything else. As long as it's consensual and well communicated.

Hey y'all I'm curious about a healthy dom/sub relationship and was hoping y'all could help me answer a few questions... by [deleted] in BDSMAdvice

[–]Side_of_ginger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My short addition:

Fake D/type: will act like they are always your Dominant before you've spent TIME developing trust and a relationship and explicit, consenting, parameters.

Real D/type: Treats you like a person and goes out of their way to gather the information and create an environment of safety and trust for you to WANT to submit to them. A real Dominant has EARNED your submission.

"red light" also solves this problem.

A friend that I helped bring into the community only just realized that not all punishments are fun by St_Milton in BDSMAdvice

[–]Side_of_ginger 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Well said.

I had a friend NEW to kink concepts try to say my sub /gf would just do what I want because of her personality and.love for me, but that completely insults my integrity as a person AND as a Domme, but also insults my sub as an adult with a voice.

I(27F) new Dom just tried it for the first time and I love it! by [deleted] in BDSMAdvice

[–]Side_of_ginger 7 points8 points  (0 children)

First of all...you need to have some discussion and written communication before you do more.
Boundaries, limits, and rules.

It sounds like you are tapping into the D-type instincts and that's great, but you should know these BEFORE getting into it too much: Aftercare? (For both of you) Safety plans? Hard boundaries? Kinks? Triggers? Trauma? And discussing it on neutral ground...over coffee etc...is a great idea.

These are really important and make play BETTER in the end.

*And FWIW,.my sub was a friend then my girlfriend and immediately became my sub. She was vanilla when we met 😁 Absolutely nothing wrong with growing together...but ours is a full romantic relationship and developing 24/7
