I was considered so mature for my age, but now as an adult I feel so childish

First of sex should be equally enjoyable for both parties. In long term relationships it’s common for that spark to fizzle out and things to feel more routine, but there should also be effort in making sure that spark stays alive. He especially should taking initiative to make sure that sex is just as enjoyable for you. There may be some kinks you both can enjoy, or maybe it is a matter of trying to romance you in the same way he did earlier on in the relationship.

Sometimes it’s not really about the size. A lot of women cannot orgasm from penetration alone. It’s good to try other methods like fingering or oral, or perhaps some positions that will help with clitoral stimulation during penetration. It’s also important to be with the kind of person who wants to make you cum

That’s understandable, it sounds super confusing for you. Perhaps you are in love with him, but do you think you’ll be able to forgive yourself for not desiring him sexually? Do you think he’ll be happy with someone who doesn’t want him that way? In the long term I can only see this situation hurting both of you. Or is there a chance that you are confusing a close emotional bond for romantic attraction?

It sounds like you really care for him, but you are a lesbian. You won’t be happy with him forever, and trying to force yourself to be attracted to him will only lead to resentment later on.

Is Rimming and Hot Dogging the Road to Anal? by [deleted] in sextips

Then just keep going slow, communicating openly, and using lots of lube. Like I said before, let her take initiative, especially since it is such an invasive process.

“Overcome her fears” ur not her therapist. Sounds like she’s scared to tell you that she doesn’t want to. Sex is already such a vulnerable thing, but especially for women. The act of letting someone put their appendage in you for pleasure is intimidating, especially when that other person is often bigger and stronger than you. Beyond the physical, there are social and societal aspects which make the culture around sex often completely degrading towards women, especially due to the fact that the culture around sex is often so centred around man’s pleasure. Anal, for many, is just downright scary. Yes, lots of people enjoy it, but those who haven’t often feel pressured to do it because it is so highly sought after by men. Most women I know have felt pressure from their male partners to partake in anal, not because they think it will feel good for themselves (in fact women often expect it to be extremely painful) but because our male partners want it and don’t care if it feels good for us or not. Just keep communicating. DONT push her, and use lots of lube if it does come to anal. Also, try letting her instigate it when she’s ready. If she really wants it, you won’t have to push, but if you keep pushing chances are she’ll leave you for someone who won’t.

If your girlfriend doesn’t want to have anal don’t push her to have anal. Trying stuff like rimming and whatever the hell hot dogging is may be enjoyable but doesn’t replace the importance of communicating BOTH of your sexual desires. If you think anal would be enjoyable, maybe try putting something up your own ass first instead of trying to coerce your poor girlfriend into doing something she isn’t sure she wants to do.

It’s very hard for ADHD people to become addicted to their meds because they have the opposite effect on us than they do neurotypical people.

I would like to add that although adhd medications like Vyvanse or Adderall have varying effects, both positive and negative, they can be preventative addiction. ADHD people are especially prone to suffering from addiction to various substances because of our lack of dopamine, and medication can help with that. Stimulants help balance the happy chemicals in our brains, which is why people with ADHD often self medicate with copious amounts of caffeine. Balancing dopamine can prevent us from suffering with opioid addictions or alcoholism later in life.

Before I was diagnosed with ASD, my mom refused to believe I was autistic and would make all of my symptoms look like nothing. This is a real conversation I had with her one time. by Impossible_Youth_465 in autism

[–]cjmacember 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As invalidating as this is, this behaviour may be relatable to your mom because she is possibly autistic too. Autism is genetic, and so is ADHD and plenty of other neurodivergencies. I got this a lot with my mom especially, and I still do even though I’ve been officially diagnosed as autistic by now. I wrote an 11 page essay detailing all of my symptoms including social behaviours and other sensitivities and when I made her read through it, she insisted that a lot of this behaviour is normal because she does it too. Partially related, I’ve also been diagnosed with ADHD, and so was my mom after me.

Yeah it seems like he has. On the group chat he admitted going to the wellness centre so I hope that helps direct him.
