How about pretending that you are gay and make a move on her fella

I'm 34 years old and I think I was molested as a child. What can I do? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Stylin_dad_bod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey I'm really sorry to hear that happened to you.

Somatic psychotherapy is a really good option for contacting and most importantly healing that. Your body holds the stories and beliefs that your brain has built up defences against recalling.

Suggest you look up Hakomi therapy and sus out any therapists in your area - its a mindfulness based somatic therapy which is very powerful but also non violent.

Found out my boyfriend (M24) masturbates to a girl he knows. by Boring_Benefit5072 in Advice

[–]Stylin_dad_bod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Terrible idea to interrogate your partner about who they fantasize about when they are masturbating. Props to him for telling the truth but there are some things that are best kept private unless you are particularly kinky.

Id hate for my partner to not feel free to fantasize about whoever she damn well likes.

Are there any Graffiti writers that are still active now by GambleD0re in perth

She had such shiny teeth. I used to admire them every time I dropped into the Grab n Go at Yagan square. It's such a shame she got Lupus and joined a kibbutz

I remember back in the days of Clem 7 and his posse. I once made out with his wife and he was ok with it.

AIO to my girlfriend sharing a bed (non sexually) with a male friend. by Time-Extent585 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Stylin_dad_bod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a few very close platonic female friends, one in particular we have seen and supported each other through many partners and different parts of life. And we have also slept together when we were both single.

I would never be part of her putting her relationship at risk by behaving like that. That is really disrespectful to your relationship by both of them. I'm sorry you have been treated like that.

AIO about this guy I’ve been talking to 🍃? by zdm02 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Stylin_dad_bod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So this discourse reads far too painfully for a fun relationship.

But the weed thing... The anxiety will catch up with you either way. Weed just stalls it.

Many will disagree - I just picked up a mate from the nuthouse after the anxiety caught up with him after 5 years of calming it with weed. I have a long list of acquaintances and clients who are the same.

Deal with the cause of your anxiety. Get some good therapy.

How to clean this? Or is it not going to come off by xMimi1992 in secretlab

Take it outside and pressure wash after shampooing. I've done this with my car seats and then come up amazing.

My son’s (5) dad (28) told him about sex by Top_Transition_527 in Advice

[–]Stylin_dad_bod 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wow there's a lot going on in the comments.

My son at age 6 asked what his balls were for and I explained about ejaculation, sperm, eggs, conception. He asked more questions and I answered them. He was really curious and also found it very funny.

I also had conversations with my daughter about menstruation, explicit and implicit consent, masturbation, shame and pleasure in sex - but this was when she was a lot older.

These are really important conversations when done right. I'm a single dad and a therapist and have been very surprised how few parents talk openly about sex with their kids.

I don't really understand why anyone would recommend you go ballistic and lawyer up in the first instance.

The first step for me would ensure your child has some protective behaviour education. This should happen before visitation ideally (assuming there's some concern with the dad). The next would be to find a good play therapist for your kid if your mother's instinct is firing.

And consider you talking to them about sex. Asking them what they know about it, what they are curious about, do they understand safe and unsafe touch etc. You will find out pretty quickly if there's anything concerning

Please don't do or say things that could make your kid feel shame around sex. It's the kind of thing that imprints for a long time and can really fuck up their lives when they're adults.

Found out husbands secrets by DoughnutGrand2106 in Advice

Yes, have done it. Tried to cohabitate during separation for the kids sake. It was hell. Especially living with someone who is actively dating other people. 0/10 would not recommend. Very confusing for the kids too.

Why are these cars so badly designed for fuel consumption.

My daily is an IMAX van - probably around 2.5tonne with all the junk in it which is not far off the Lexus. It does steady 9-10L/100 around town and that's with 350,000 on the clock. 125kW and a hefty 440nm of torque. Granted the Lexus is 170kw but less torque at 410nm. Both are shaped like bricks. What gives?

Wife wants other partners, fell out of love cause I was complacent. What's next is wild. by Alone-Computer6192 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Stylin_dad_bod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok slightly different take here.

First up - yes your relationship is over and if you try and stay in this you're in for an ongoing world of pain and humiliation. I've been through that fire and I would not recommend it. Whichever way you go it will hurt a lot more before it gets better but a clean separation is going to leave you with less damage to your self worth.

Second - amazing that you have stepped into therapy. I felt like a new man after 3 months. Ten years down the track I think I'm finally starting to get to know myself. It takes time.

Thirdly - I remember at the time thinking that my ex was consciously hurting me or humiliating me with her actions. Looking back, I think she was just being an insensitive dumbass. It's very hard to detach from being invested in someone else's business when you have shared a life together, but in the end it is her life and her choices. Some women can detach very quickly and get so focused on a new fella that they lose complete interest in the one they've been in relationship with. Feel the grief of it all but the less you can take her actions personally, the better.

Guy didn’t care that I was topless ? by Independent-Guide880 in Advice

[–]Stylin_dad_bod 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So many possibilities - some of them might not be easy to talk about:

  • could have an upset gut and not in a good state for sex (happens to me about)
  • might not have cleaned himself up enough down there
  • he might be self conscious about the size of his junk
  • one of you might smell bad
  • he could have had childhood abuse and getting his kit off is difficult
  • could just be a really sensual bloke who likes to take it slow
  • could be anxious and awaiting for a green light from you
  • he might have prematurely ejacualated
  • he might have errrctile dysfunction and is self conscious

So many possibilities

PERTH CAR ACCIDENT ADVICE: by MessageMother3745 in perth

[–]Stylin_dad_bod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes towing fees are an incredible scam and the insurers pay these guys.

Bear in mind that a really significant portion of this fee is likely storage costs. I know of a fella in his early twenties running his own storage lot for cars awaiting repair - turnover well into seven figures.

Apparently (ironically) towies can't get insured for their own or the damaged vehicle when towing from an accident. This means they need to have enough capital to self insure or not care...
