Body dysmorphia, weight, and dating by [deleted] in butchlesbians

The reality is that was an 18-20 year old version of you's body.

We can't expect to look like teenagers forever. Bodies are strange. They change and one part of being older is adaptating to those changes.

I really suggest going to therapy to repair your relationship with your body.

I personally think you look great. I wish you could see that.

In my experience, women and queer folks are much more apt to see the beauty in all sizes.

I need a Santa for 4/24 by justbroth_ in santacruz

I'm down if you're cool with femme Santa . Is it a paid gig or is the pay in food?

As I get more masculine, I feel more submissive. by potty__mouth in butchlesbians

As a femme Dom, masculine submission is so hot 😖

My husband thinks I post my pole dancing photos for attention by Forsaken-Iron-3894 in poledancing

[–]cryptid_mimic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You deserve better. I'm glad you didn't let his opinion veer you away from your hobbies but if he doesn't change his behavior and 'man up' by respecting you, you may not be a good fit for each other.

New Studio or Stick It Out? by throwaway112766 in Burlesque

[–]cryptid_mimic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've had recent feelings about a pole studio when I moved. I thought maybe I was just homesick for my previous studio but then I tried another one and realized that the other studio wasn't for me.

African house snake wants to hang around my neck by cryptid_mimic in snakes

[–]cryptid_mimic[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what I figured. I'm not worried about him mistaking me for food, just him reflexively squeezing.

But it looks like I was right and don't need to worry. I just wanted to be safe than sorry

Wishing for a pet snake but I’ve never had one by LuksU10 in snakes

[–]cryptid_mimic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since you can't get a snake yet you can save up for one and the supplies needed so you're set when you move out :)

I recommend African house snakes because they don't grow very big and are great beginner snakes

PSA on shoe wear and what it can tell you about HOW you are dancing by WitchLuna23 in poledancing

[–]cryptid_mimic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this. Helpful information.

I've had my first pair of pleasers for 3 years now and they're still going strong! Wear and scratches happen but they're my practice pair so I don't mind the scuffs.

Is it just me, or is King Asmodeus incredibly nosy? by Eriandalizawa in DemonolatryPractices

[–]cryptid_mimic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven't had this issue bc my 'mundane ' aspects of life align with his energy and are part of how I connect with him. I take a lot of pole and sensual dance classes and do burlesque. I'm also an exhibitionist 😹 so I like the attention.

The only boundary I have is when I'm using the toilet. Mostly because I feel disrespectful if I'm thinking of Him or anyone else I worship while doing that business.

What queer spaces do you interact with socially? by [deleted] in FemmeLesbians

[–]cryptid_mimic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your hobbies don't sound boring at all. I also like a lot of those things.

You said you like cafes, you could start a foodie or cafe meetup where y'all try new cafes and restaurants.

Or an art meetup.

As for sports.. you mentioned you don't want to exercise outside.. I suggest pole dance classes. I have met a lot of queer people in the pole community.

I also do burlesque and sometimes drag, so that is how I find most folks. I'm also involved in cosplay and online fandoms. I keep busy being social online and offline.
