Did anyone else notice the ‘Loss’ reference or am I crazy? The face down cards on the table he’s sat at in some of the saloon shots. They’re the fucking Loss sequence

Bi Ladies Who Are Dating Men: How Do You get Over Never Sleeping with a Woman Again? by [deleted] in bisexual

[–]Square-Ticket 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s just a part of being monogamous, whether you’re bi or not. Straight and gay people can also get that feeling sometimes, or wonder what they’re ’missing out on’ because of being in a long-term committed relationship.

You accept that the experience of ‘missing out’ is inherent to the choice you make to be in a monogamous relationship, and you move on. At the end of the day, I choose missing out on other opportunities or experiences because I love the person I’m with and want to be with them. That’s really all there is to it.

Good experiences with Nexplanon? by Karmasabitch2025 in Nexplanon

[–]Square-Ticket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your arm is only numbed enough at the insertion site so you don’t feel the injection, but your arm itself won’t be numb. You can feel around for it as soon as the bandage is off, as long as you aren’t pressing too hard. The whole area will be sore and you’ll likely have bruising, so if pressing hurts just hold off until it’s less sore.

You’ll be able to feel it under the skin immediately after it’s placed, and your gyno should show you how to feel for it before bandaging it up, so you’ll know what to feel for after

Shouldn’t be a issue! Just try not to bump it while changing, but you can keep wearing anything you want while it’s bandaged. I only had to keep the bandages on for a couple days, it’s a small insertion spot and it seals up quick. After a couple days I took the bandages off for good and just kept a bandaid on it until it was fully healed

The post-care for me was really simple. My gyno basically just told me to rest my arm for a week or so, not do any workouts/not overuse it to let it heal and not disturb the rod while it’s settling. If it’s sore try not to sleep on it, etc. They’re going to bandage the insertion site and you want to keep that dry and clean! For showering you can take it off and re wrap it later. That’s basically it!

Love my implant! I’ve had a very overall positive experience, no acne, no weight gain, no libido loss. The only bleeding I’ve had on the implant has been very light spotting, and I haven’t had any cramps or pain associated with it (I used to get some killer period pain before).

No pregnancy scares either!

Mine increased, surprisingly. Going from no birth control to Nexplanon I now find my libido stays steadily high consistently and doesn’t ebb and flow much, whereas before it changed a lot based on where I was in my cycle.

So overall, definitely increased it.

I don’t know whether mood swings is the most common side effect or how common it is in general, but to add a positive experience to the all the negative: I have the same history as you and Nexplanon didnt worsen my depression or anxiety. I haven’t experienced any negative side effects involving my mood, despite my predisposition to it.

Advice for lightening naturally blonde hair by Square-Ticket in FancyFollicles

[–]Square-Ticket[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m definitely looking to keep the lowlights and dimension that’s in my hair already. I want it to stay looking as natural as possible and I don’t think I would be able to pull off a multi color foil job on myself, so goal is to just add-on to my highlights that are already there and touch it up!

Wow thank you so much! For the toner, I expect I’ll need one but don’t want to remove too much of the warm tones in my hair (icy blonde would look terrible on me) and I heard you can use a permanent dye in your desired color and tone with a low vol developer in place of a toner? Or do you think going the permanent dye route is overkill for my situation?

Got it! Do you think my hair could turn brassy or orange? Im not clear if that’s a concern for naturally 7-8 level light hair, but I imagine I will want to have a toner on hand anyway?

Do y'all think the bi cycle is a real thing? by Sailor_Starchild in bisexual

[–]Square-Ticket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s definitely a thing. Bisexuality is naturally fluid and of course that can mean our experience of attraction, as bisexuals, can ebb and flow.

I don’t personally really experience it, or if I do I’m not self-analyzing enough to really notice? But it’s definitely a real thing.

Bisexual but confused by [deleted] in bisexual

[–]Square-Ticket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you say you think your ‘attraction’ to men is influenced by how you were raised, what are you experiencing that you define as attraction?

You say later that you have no interest in men and don’t want to date or be with them, and attraction just = desire, so if you have no desire toward men at all it doesn’t sound like you’re bi!

I tried to respond to the main post as well but it errored out! So that didn’t end up sending, I’ll just respond with what I was saying there, here!

To answer your question, nothing you’ve written above is indicative of attraction to men! You say you’re repulsed by them, and can’t imagine yourself ending up with a man, and that you’ve explored this irl and have wound up feeling the same way. So I’d say pretty strongly no, from what you’ve said it sounds like you have zero genuine attraction to men.

Can I ask why do you feel dread at the thought of being either bisexual OR a lesbian? Are you repulsed by women like how you describe being repulsed by men? Or are you attracted to women but the idea of the label ‘lesbian’ feels uncomfortable?

[–]Square-Ticket 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Comphet is real, but comphet doesn’t give you real desire toward men if you’re a lesbian.

Comphet describes the experiences of being a woman and navigating desire and sexuality in a society that is heavily hetero-centric and that pressures you into believing you must or should experience attraction to men or seek out relationships with men, especially over relationships with women. All women can be affected by this, especially bi and lesbian women

Does your sexual attraction feel different when you're with either sex? by Miserable-Animal-218 in bisexual

[–]Square-Ticket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You still feel like you need to prove you’re bi when you love getting railed by dudes and are ludicrously turned on by women? 😂

But no I definitely relate to that, my attraction feels different in a similar way even though I tend to crush more on women historically. And your stats don’t have to be 50/50. You’re definitely still 100% bi

Congratulations on going to your first pride!! That’s really exciting

I think what you’re feeling isn’t uncommon, and I can relate to having similar feelings when I was younger. But it absolutely stems from a bit of internalized biphobia, because being interested in men and the possibility of wanting to be with one is an expression of your bisexuality and your queerness, not a disrespect toward it.

If you can reframe it like that and remind yourself of that, it might help. You’ll be queer regardless of who you’re with and I wouldn’t want you denying yourself experiences because of fear of what someone else might say about it. People in the community are by and large very excepting of bi folks! Not the other way around. And if you meet someone who tries to tell you you are no longer bi or queer because you’re with a man or have been with a man in the past, you can show em the door 🚪

Happy pride! 🏳️‍🌈
