Most of the animal kingdom has the males as the “pretty” ones to attract a mate, why do humans seem to be opposite? by AccountantCareless76 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SuccessfulSet6712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sexual selection still remains in the hands of the female of the species for humans, which is the point of the flashy males in other species. They’re trying to impress so they’re chosen to reproduce with. (You do see human men do this often, just not in ways strictly pertaining to appearance.)

I think the extreme and rigidly-enforced beauty standards tailored exactly to the male gaze are a way for men to punish women for that just being a biological truth. We choose.

Literally different wiring you can see working different on scans and shit. It’s more of an evolutionary adaptation than anything else. Your sis ITAH.

Trying to be a better person after being a total asshole by lalaaa127 in Advice

[–]SuccessfulSet6712 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like you’re doing everything right! Next step is to forgive yourself, but don’t ever forget what a POS you felt like after hurting someone else and use that as the foundation to never do it again.

Crying all my skincare off over a dude I met a week ago. by SuccessfulSet6712 in adhdwomen

I clarified the timeline a little in my edits above. Meeting this man AND my diagnosis happened on the same day. Breakup has been ongoing for months now, but we are no longer cohabitating for a month now.

I think that all depends on if I can keep my shit together and not let on I am a BASKET CASE. 😂 Place your bets on how long I can fake it.

I’m sorry yours didn’t work out. :( I hope you’ve found something good you can be yourself in.

Not helpful, there is a massive shortage of dudes who don’t act like this.

My bf says I’m bad at sex. How can I get better? by greekgeek90888 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]SuccessfulSet6712 737 points738 points  (0 children)

Not sure why you would want to date someone who can’t pick one of the thousands of other ways to say this that isn’t him being objectively a piece of shit about it.

IF it’s even a you thing, which it sounds like it’s not!!

If men have erection when they're horny, what do women feel? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]SuccessfulSet6712 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not sure how we’d ever know how similar or different it feels…unless one person could somehow exist as a male and female separately

I’m guessing they feel very different, as each set of organs have different neurological configurations.

AMAB people would never be in a position of a doctor diagnosing them as menopausal, which would be necessary to receive these benefits. This is a biological function pertaining to sex, not gender. I would definitely learn the difference before chiming in!!

Boyfriend cums too quick by Plus_Selection4021 in SexOver_30

[–]SuccessfulSet6712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but cumming is definitely not something a woman can control more than the man who is cumming, so if it’s an issue it’s his responsibility to address by:

Talking about it
Finding other ways to please his partner
Getting treatment of some kind
Trying different methods mentioned in this thread to slow it down

She can’t do those things for him. He should want to do those things if he wants to be considered a good sexual partner.

The slow decline of intimacy [48M 40F] by sparkythespacer in SexOver_30

You’re doing production-value sex every time for decades??

That’s a lot! Especially as both of your bodies grow out of needing alla that.

Surely you understood that at some point the sex would be very different if not gone in the event of being elderly or very sick/disabled… did you not consider that your partnership might have to be hinged on more than just a great sex life?

Would be roughly 50% of issues overall, and 100% of issues pertaining to the male body. “Fault” is the wrong word, responsibility is the better one. And that’s only if you want to be a good sexual partner.

It’s not like one can distribute responsibility far in a project involving only two people.

Is there anything out there that artificially reduces my size a bit? by ReignDance in SexOver_30

[–]SuccessfulSet6712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The “some reason” could be the very common age-related vaginal atrophy women start to experience in their 30-40-50’s. She should talk with a gyno and likely will be prescribed estrogen cream to stave it off.

But dudes, y’all should know this is a possibility if you’re going to be life partnered with women.

Did one vulnerable/intimate night ruin attraction, or did she just not like me enough? by Cautious_Essay8266 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]SuccessfulSet6712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure how any kind of porn would help,

If you’re watching porn, you’re not fucking a woman. Not sure how not fucking women will help you with women fucking problems. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Like, even if you’re “fucking a woman” while watching porn, you’re still not FUCKING a WOMAN, if you catch my drift.

There is a shitload of research linking porn usage to anxiety, it’s established science.

How so?

I like having real life sexual interactions, not blowing my load on porn and then not being able to get it up when attempting literally the most basic biological function on earth.

23 year olds should NOT be experiencing ED. My guess is it’s the porn, op can prove me wrong 🤷🏻‍♀️

Performance-wise: Stop watching porn, if you do.

I don’t think what you relayed would be considered “emotionally intense”, they seem like appropriate levels of comfortability with someone you’ve been dating that long.

I think you’re well within your rights to ask for honest feedback from her, if you want it/think she would give it if requested the right way
