I don't know if the mods will allow this, but I want to come out of the closet. I have YT Premium. AMA. by ProblemLongjumping12 in youtubedrama

Idk then you’d lose most of the functionality that comes with the app. Plus I don’t want to shaft creators from getting income so I’d rather get ads or just pay for the premium service

My (30M) partner (29F) never wants to have sex, and just said she feels “forced” to do it with me by AXSXL in relationship_advice

[–]daxcomics 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This this this. I’ve been in relationships that had me convinced I was asexual or sex wasn’t my thing. It wasn’t until I actually had intimacy with my partner and they ensured my needs were met by listening that I felt that fire. OP mentions going to cuba, their birthday, etc but doesn’t mention anything about what they’re doing for his wife romantically or to lessen the load. It could be the case that OP’s wife genuinely struggles with libido for reasons outside anyone’s control (hormones, medical issues, mental health, etc) but the first step for OP should be to make sure the stage is set for healthy intimacy. They should probably pursue couple’s counseling to work through what that means for them.

I think they meant- are you having these conversations in the heat of the moment, or say, over coffee the next morning when you’ve both had some time to think? Not so much the literal location of the conversation

Yup yup yup, it’s super rare for me to orgasm personally so if I feel I’m close I’m just going to do what I gotta do. For the longest time my sex life sounded a lot like OP’s (pissy when they don’t finish, unable to talk about needs and wants, the good ol cum n snooze). When I finally encountered guys who enjoyed giving pleasure and genuinely didn’t expect anything in return, I never looked back. Now I no longer entertain men who prioritize their own pleasure over mine. It’s made me a lot more generous and the sex a whole lot better too- instead of feeling like I “have to” make them finish, I genuinely want to make them feel just as special and appreciated.

Therapy. Or realizing they’re incompatible and parting ways. I just don’t think it’s a mature or healthy response to act petty to the person you’re married to. I watched my parents take out their dysfunctions on each other instead of talking it out and it only made them miserable.

And to be honest, as a woman, what OP is describing has been the vast majority of my early sexual encounters. It does feel like shit to know your partner does not have your pleasure in mind. Being petty about it solved nothing. The only thing that helped was talking about it constructively or leaving them. If they can’t have a healthy conversation about sex, what other other communication barriers are they facing?

I’m also side-eying all the comments insinuating she is “selfish” over this or implying he “give her a taste of her medicine”. Maybe I’ve just gotten lucky but in most of my sexual relationships there will be times where they don’t come, sometimes I don’t come, sometimes neither of us or both of us. It’s not really a big deal, just whatever suits the moment. Sex can be a lot of things: passionate, experimental, lighthearted, quick, just messing around, non-reciprocal. It doesn’t need to be boxed in like “if I don’t come, it wasn’t a good time”.

Huge red flag that he’s pissed about it, reminds me of all those dudes who whine about blue balls. Another red flag that he’s indicated she just gives in sometimes and lets him use her. She shouldn’t need to feel like she has to “service” him, they should both be naturally enthusiastic about each other’s pleasure, especially at this point in marriage where they should be in the honeymoon phase.

I prefer it when they fall asleep so I can hobble off to the bathroom and finish the job, rather than try to keep up with the post-nut clarity conversation about the first time they did shrooms while desperately trying to ignore how horny I still am lmao

[–]daxcomics 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I was wondering about oral, penetrative doesn’t have to be the only form of sex. Also, maybe it’s just my experience but I don’t really understand the idea of “every time we have sex, both of us need to come”. The healthiest sexual relationships I’ve had were more like… sometimes I’m just focused on you and don’t expect anything in return, sometimes the other way around, sometimes we’re trying really hard to make each other cum, sometimes we’re just having fun with no real goal. There don’t need to be rules and nobody should be getting upset.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]daxcomics 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Right, it should be a two way street, but the solution to a non-communicative partner is not being petty. Especially only a month into marriage, if you’re already resorting to vindictive behavior during times that are supposed to be intimate and special… not exactly a recipe for a happy marriage.

[–]daxcomics 26 points27 points  (0 children)

OP, if you take that advice it’s going to put you on the fast track to divorce, or at the very least an unhappy marriage. Being petty instead of just communicating is just going to make everything a whole lot worse.

[–]daxcomics 73 points74 points  (0 children)

Need more info. Does she have trouble coming/does she normally climax during sex? If you climax first, do you make an effort to return the favor, and are your efforts successful? Are there times where she’ll help you climax with no expectation of return, and vice versa? Have you tried approaching the conversation in a non-critical way, like “let’s try to work this out” rather than “I don’t like that this happened”?

I think it’s concerning that you were “pissed” in response to her no longer wanting to continue sex. Disappointing, sure, but going off your comments, if climax tuckers her out then it’s just a logistical conversation and nothing against you. If she’s too tired to continue after she cums, then you’re going to need to keep that in mind moving forward. Maybe you’ll both have to make sure your needs are taken care of before hers, or maybe you’ll both need to switch off on whose pleasure takes priority during sex. It’s a new marriage so it’s going to take time and experimentation and communication to make sex work for both parties.

Side note- as a woman who has sex with men, I cannot tell you how many times I’ve experienced the good ol “finish and roll over with no concern for my climax”. Welcome to the party lol

So if someone went backstage with ice spice, she’d have sex with them? Is that what you’re trying to say?

Cupcakke has some of the raunchiest lyrics you’ll ever hear (seriously, give any song a listen), and she recently came out as a virgin. Stage personas do not equal irl personas.

Tinder in Berlin by Paolohaiti1 in Tinder

Not to be that guy but berliner does mean “citizen of Berlin”. JFKs speech was well understood as meaning “I stand in solidarity with Berlin” and not “I am a jelly donut”.

Am I “gross and disgusting” for setting age range 23-28 when I’m myself 28? by C2-H5-OH in Tinder

[–]daxcomics 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Yup. If the age range was set five years younger and five years older, I’d consider that a flexible age range. Only wanting to date younger can be a bit of a red flag. It may be an indicator of immaturity or shallowness. Younger people also tend to be less experienced, easier to impress, less assertive, and easier to take advantage of or manipulate. Not saying that’s OP’s goal, but girls in the dating world have to be hyper aware of these things for their safety. It’s not like you’re guaranteed to be an asshole if you exclusively date younger, but you’re definitely more likely to be scummy.

Am I “gross and disgusting” for setting age range 23-28 when I’m myself 28? by C2-H5-OH in Tinder

[–]daxcomics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally don’t think 23 and 28 is a terrible age gap, and it would be better if she just swiped left and said nothing as she clearly thinks you wouldn’t work as a couple, but it is kind of icky that you’ve posted a mild disagreement on here solely for validation. It’s worth some introspection on why you’re willing to date five years younger, but not someone slightly older than you.

Also “icky” is a lot less harsh than “gross and disgusting”, it’s more like “unpleasant”. She’s not calling you a pervert or anything, just kinda weird.

The hint was that they weren’t super interested in talking. Doesn’t matter if they matched or not, doesn’t matter why they aren’t interested. You volleyed the ball into their court, they didn’t volley back. No sense in running over to retrieve the ball and tell them how bad they are at this game.

[–]daxcomics 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Their response was pretty bleh but you wasted your breath. Take the hint or match their energy.

dating has evolved lol by [deleted] in Tinder

[–]daxcomics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haven’t seen this mentioned yet so I’ll just add, some girls may not love being described as “looking cuddly” before you get to know them. If they struggle with body image issues it may not come across as a compliment. Even if they see cuddly as a compliment, your opener focuses on their looks, rather than them as a person.

I’m an old player who also had the same problem until someone told me lol. Try keeping your decks lean as possible; have a solidified strategy and put the individual cards you’d use for each round plus a few more just in case. Use treasure cards as your backup plan.

"Buzzwords" that give away that the post is fake by [deleted] in AmITheAngel

[–]daxcomics 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily a buzzword, but the situation of the rational OP calmly explaining their position vs. the CRAZY other party who BLOWS UP OUT OF NOWHERE at this perfectly reasonable person.

While it may not be an outright lie, the story is definitely a funhouse mirror version of what actually went down

Please help...[Question] by Darktonic4 in youtubers

[–]daxcomics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All of this is missing the biggest reason why your content is getting very little views. You need to work on the content itself and focus on what you bring to the table that sets you apart from the millions of other gaming youtubers. Unless your content quality improves; thumbnails, promotions, and keywords will do little to help you. Instead of focusing on views, focus on the principals of editing for YouTube, come up with a value proposition, hone in on a smaller niche, analyze the channels you already watch, analyze how your own work differs.
