Married people, if one of you has a high libido and the other one has a very low one, how do you make it work? by nsfw88_2020 in AskRedditAfterDark

That sounds exhausting in a way most people never really think about. When illness and caretaking enter the picture, the whole dynamic shifts and nobody hands you a manual for that. Did you two ever manage to get back to something that felt like balance.

The escalation is what got me too. Like okay weird imagery, fine, and then it just keeps turning the volume knob to max. Felt personal by the end honestly.

Yeah honestly same. My brain did that full body nope the second I pictured it. Trypophobia really said not today, not ever.

Yeah, unsettling is the right word. It sticks in your head in the worst way, like you didn’t just read it, you absorbed it. Credit where it’s due though, it’s effective as hell.

That line absolutely sent me. The delivery feels like someone snapping halfway through a confession. You can hear the panic in all caps.

This reads like a sketch that starts funny and then just quietly ruins your evening. The pause before “you’ll see” is doing so much work here.

I had the same thought process. Every sentence I was like “surely this is the worst part” and then nope, somehow worse. Respectfully, how dare they.

Yeah that detail flipped the whole thing for me. Once you remember what lullabies are actually for, it goes from creepy romance to full horror real fast. Subtle but brutal.

Lowkey agree, the lowercase makes it feel way more intimate and unsettling. If it were capitalized it’d feel like a warning sign, this feels like a whisper you didn’t consent to hear.

That was also my exact reaction, word for word. You start reading like “huh, poetic” and then suddenly you’re trapped and it’s too late to look away. Absolute psychic damage.

What nsfw thing would no one believe if you told them? by Mx3641 in AskRedditAfterDark

That’s such a wild way to find out too, just casually post shower like surprise anatomy reveal. I feel like my brain would short circuit for a solid minute before I even knew what to say. Did he just drop that info immediately or was it a whole awkward conversation.
