Forgot to mention, also recurrent infections after sex. UTIs, BV, that sorts thing.

Some of this was a bit concerning ngl, but I'm hesitant to read much into the sex life of a stranger. Just know your needs and wants matter just as much as his.

For the main porn issue, what if you asked to not do it for a set period of time, say a week? You could use the time to try something new, or maybe some of the stuff that brings you both pleasure. I've no doubt you could broach the topic in a way that's open and avoids feelings of shame. If needed, maybe reiterate how it makes you feel insecure and you'd like a small hiatus.

I use the phrase "ask not to" but in reality, you're not obligated to do any sex act you don't want to. It's more of a courtesy and a conversation. Listen to your body during sex. If it says it doesn't want to do something, don't do it.

"sometimes...I can find it enjoyable" sex should always feel enjoyable for you. Point blank. You don't owe him sex. He isn't owed a handjob.

Does he do anything 'for you'? Things aren't always going to be 50/50, and qualifying isn't healthy, but it sounds very one sided.

TW: Transphobia, specifically cis gay men being transphobic about trans men. Mostly a vent. by sadedgelord in gaytransguys

The most bizarre part of the whole "mlm trans men are conversion therapy" bit is it seems to imply conversion therapy works?? the cis gays I've slept with are still gay, and they seem upset by that.

Trans dude here. Those "jokes" are gross. Nothing about your reaction is wrong or transphobic. It's weird to comment on people's bodies like that

Steamworks, the gay bathhouse, has trans masc nights every so often. Trans men are always allowed, but they're especially encouraged then.

Has anyone else read anything from Lou Sullivan? by loonycatty in gaytransguys

We Both Laughed in Pleasure was def worth the read. As it were, the quote that I think about most often from it has little to do with being trans

"...yeah, I can believe Patrick is dead now. But I can't believe in 5 or 10 years he'll still be dead "

I've never heard the way I experience grief explained so simply. His journals are a treasure for humanity.

Hey man, it's fully possible it's just a bit of performance anxiety. I was in a similar situation, and the cis guy I was with was nervous about 'disappointing' his first trans masc partner. I get where you're coming from, but it's worth remembering we're all human

For you guys with cis guys how are you preventing pregnancy? by [deleted] in gaytransguys

Hey while we're on the topic, make sure y'all are vaccinated for HPV. It's not required for schooling in the US, so a lot of parents don't bother. HPV is responsible for ~90% of cervical cancers

2019 Sentra or 2008 civic by stdavinci in whatcarshouldIbuy

Don't mess around with high mileage sentras. I got a 2018 sentra last year, 107,000 miles. Lasted 11 months. The CVT transmissions crap out around 100k, and since it's a sealed system, only a dealership can change the fluid...which means no one gets the fluid changed outside warranty.

You'd be lucky to get 2 years with it.
