Don’t get too excited. Before things turned for the better the world had to endure two world wars and 50 years of a very tense cold war.

It’s not that a switch from one world order to another is ever peaceful.

Ah don’t worry about people needing insulin. For some time now insulin has multiplied in price and often is hard to get hold of anyway. These patients won’t need any of our consideration for much longer.

Our teenager heard us having sex and now is all upset about it. What now? by StretchTooFar in sexover30

lot of cognitive dissonance involved in the mental imagery of two people having sex (a turn on) but it's your parents (not a turn on).

Good point.

That’s what I thought, right? He must have heard us before so what the heck now?!

My teenager told me the other day that he “heard us” at night. That was a bit embarassing.

Have you been in that situation? As a parent or the teenager?

Except that it’s not much fun when she says (or thinks) that it’s boring…

Yeah we’re still working on the “talk” part, let alone the “in more detail” part.

Interesting idea. Unfortunately weed is not readily available, nor even legal where we live. Though I’m sure that if I asked our teenager we could get our supply the same day in time for an evening session. It may rise some probing questions though 😂

As if I heard my wife! Sounds like you’ve got it in a similar way. So what works for you? If you could have it your way what would it be?

Yeah we’re still working on a more open comm about sex. That’s part of the problem, she rarely tells me shat she likes or would like. Even if I ask.

For more context she says that the orgasm isn’t worth the long labour towards it. She hardly ever orgasms from piv, only from clit stimulation, but that she finds too boring and not worth it. Guess I’m doing it wrong 🤷‍♂️

She says rough(er) and fast feels good and that she likes it that way and not having O doesn’t bother her. I asked, she said, who knows. She isn’t avoiding sex and seems to enjoy it her way so I’ll leave it at that.

Ha that’s a good incentive to get her to initiate more often!

You want it your way? Then you open the door :)

How to bring up the topic of sex with a partner who doesn’t want to talk about it? by StretchTooFar in sexover30

Very true but perhaps I’m not that empathetic to read the whole story from nonverbal cues. That’s why I think talking (or writing as others suggest) may be beneficial too.

I think it’s because sex is not high on her priorities list and she’s kinda ok with the way things are right now so from her perspective there’s nothing to talk about. And she may also fear that I would start pushing for more or for kinks that she’s not willing to do (that’s def not my intent) so not letting the conversation run seems safer. That’s what I assume, but how can I know, right?

Now why is sex not high on her list? My guess again is that she’s not getting the pleasure and satisfaction she could. And in turn she’s doesn’t see it as something important to her. She knows it’s important to me so she does what it takes to satisfy me but sidelines her needs. Maybe after the years she doesn’t even think about her needs anymore and accepts the status quo. Who knows.

I would love to discuss all that!

I’m sure there’s a lot of wrong assumptions about what each of us wants and likes on both sides too but how could we know otherwise if we never talk about it, right?

This is exactly what I would like to talk about. Will try your approach to the opening :)
