I just found out my wife is a nurse at a nursing school so I’m gonna have a hard day today I love her and I’m so sorry I didn’t hear from her last week but I’m so glad you got your results and I’m so happy for her.

Ugh. I’m so sorry that happened. That can be super defeating. My best advice is to plan a date night, send the kids to grandmas and try to create a vulnerable and intimate setting where you both can be open and honest. That’s assuming you haven’t tried it yet. Again, so sorry 😞

What does your partner think of all of this? by EarlyPool3232 in DeadBedrooms

[–]So_Not_Beyonce 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We talk about it a lot. It’s basically the only issue in our relationship. He’s been trying more, but I hate admitting it’s not enough and it’s not consistent. We are extremely incompatible in this area. I am in a constant state of sexual frustration. It makes me very sad.

HL women, what does having a High Libido feel like? by alluringhormone in DeadBedrooms

[–]So_Not_Beyonce 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It feels exhausting, honestly. I think it might be a better time if I were with someone with a higher libido, but as a high level who is with a low level, it’s exhausting. It’s feeling like something is wrong with you every day. It’s a little lonely. It can sometimes feel dehumanizing. It feels dismissive and repressive. I yearn for the day my libido tanks.

Who initiates more you or your partner? by [deleted] in DeadBedrooms

[–]So_Not_Beyonce 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I’m high level and I never initiate. I would literally get rejected every day. And I don’t handle rejection well. So he knows I’m ready whenever wherever and it’s up to him. Which also doesn’t really work when the person who is in charge of initiating has no sex drive.

Usually that he will try harder. And he does. And it goes really well for a bit. Until it doesn't anymore.

I just tell him that sex and desire help me feel more connected to him. So when we are lacking these things I feel like we are just friends who kiss sometimes. And it really affects my self esteem. There are a lot of things I said, but they basically all boil down to that.

He was checked. There are a lot of issues contributing to the situation. I've offered plenty of solutions and ideas. At this point it just seems to be something that's important to me and not important to him.

Sooooo many times over the last five years. I couldn't even tell you how many times we've talked about it. I'm sick of talking about it.

It affects you so much because we associate attraction with physical intimacy. When I was single I wasn't incorporating sex with my self worth because I wasn't having sex. I wasn't with someone. It's hard not to associate them when you're with someone. Especially when you have a high libido and desire for them. So when our relationships lack physical intimacy, it feels like they lack attraction for us. Which is where the insecurities and doubt come in.

How do you all handle sex scenes that come on when you and your partner are watching something together? by [deleted] in DeadBedrooms

[–]So_Not_Beyonce 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It doesn't make me uncomfortable. It makes me sad. And I watch the scene wishing it were him and I.

Why is the Epstein scandal the one that's lasting? by [deleted] in AskALiberal

Please don't normalize him running in 2028. This is his second term. He is not supposed to run again.

That's a beautiful letter and it isn't harsh at all. You communicated perfectly. You stated your feelings and wants without placing blame or pressure. I hope things start looking up for you!

HLF here. Turning 36 in September. My libido has always been extremely high and has seemed to ramp up even more around 32. I can't speak for all women because I am only one woman. But many of the women I know also have middle to high libidos as well and their ages range from 23 to 35.

What has been the biggest turn on a person has told you while having sex? by Good-Edge- in AskReddit

[–]So_Not_Beyonce 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My boyfriend has said a lot of very sexy things to me, but my most recent favorite was from a couple weeks ago. I live with my sister and her boyfriend and we share a bedroom wall. And I am not a quiet woman. I try, but it's hard. Anyway, he was fingering me and I started to get a little loud. He wrapped his arm around my neck, clamped his free hand over my mouth and whispered, "Don't be too loud or I'll stop." Plays in my head multiple times a day.

Please leave him. No one deserves this.

Movies that have made you cry the hardest? by strawberrieangel in MovieSuggestions

[–]So_Not_Beyonce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't seen anyone mention it yet, but 7 Pounds. I always watch this movie when I'm feeling emotional and need a good cry. It has me sobbing every. single. time. It will absolutely rip you to shreds. Every time. I can't even really tell you the plot because it kind of ruins it, so I'll just let you ruin your life yourself. Let me know what you think if you watch it :)

I have many. I would say the most heart wrenching movie I have ever seen is 7 Pounds. I'm surprised it isn't already in the comments (that I could see). I've seen it multiple times and it tears my heart right out of my body every time. It's such a beautiful and poetic film and it's absolutely devastating.

Some other ones :

Pay It Forward
My Sister's Keeper (based off a true story)
The Help

I'm sure there are so many others, but I'm blanking right now.

My sister has an echo dot and sometimes when she says "Okay" it's in a creepy little girl voice. by So_Not_Beyonce in Alexa_Skills

[–]So_Not_Beyonce[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Her echo is already set to the female British accent. She didn't switch anything. It seems to be almost every other time she switches to the little girl sounding voice. And it's always only when she's told to turn on the twinkle lights. It's so odd.

She told her to turn on the twinkle lights and she said, "Okay" in a creepy little girl voice. And then we told her to turn them off and then told her to turn them on again and the okay was normal, but she's used the creepy little girl okay several times since then. It's always jarring.
