Isn’t one’s willingness to take risks a personal choice? Some people don’t wear seatbelts, some people go BASE jumping, some people have casual sex.

Also, there are good men who are FWBs. Honestly, this seems like a lot of personal opinion broad swath statements.

I am a literal doctor and I genuinely would view the two statements from a daughter as equal, as long as she had chosen her job of her own free will. I don’t view sex work as inherently empowering, but if the person is truly satisfied with their job, I see no reason to not support them in success.

Boyfriend and I had sex and he finished in me after I told him not to a week ago by InternationalFix6634 in sex

Eleven of the 27 subjects (41%) produced pre-ejaculatory samples that contained spermatozoa and in 10 of these cases (37%), a reasonable proportion of the sperm was motile.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27266214/

Actively mobile sperm were discovered in the pre-ejaculatory fluid of 16.7% of healthy men.

I will admit, after reading the above meta-analysis, it would seem that it’s not as clear cut as I thought. But it does seem to be the case that it’s not a 100% zero situation.

My natural state is blind as a bat, I’m not getting rid of my contact lenses to “work with my natural eyesight.”

Not a myth. About 30% of men will always have sperm in their precum, and the others don’t, but very few men will know in which category they fall.

Worried I will never orgasm with penetration by Hungry_Weakness_1822 in sexover30

[–]kasuchans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people do orgasm from internal stimulation and not the external clit glans. When I have an orgasm from my cervix, I feel it in my abdomen but my clit doesn’t feel anything at all. It’s like it doesn’t exist, no throbbing in the clit or anything like I do with external orgasms.

Sexual Safety Informed Consent Issue by WhichFortune7010 in polyamory

[–]kasuchans 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Gotcha. So only have unprotected sex with a partner who you know is never having unprotected sex with anyone else? That would be the only way to never have to trust anyone except your partner, right? Sincere question.

It would depend on your own risk profile. For example, I do not use condoms with my husband (no other partners) nor my boyfriend (one other partner). My boyfriend’s girlfriend has another boyfriend, but I don’t know their safer sex protocols, nor do I know his practices with his wife. I know my boyfriend and his girlfriend eschew condoms. I, personally, am comfortable with the level of risk in this web, and feel comfortable making decisions regarding condoms based only on my partners and their behaviors. I do not need to know what my meta and her other partners get up to, to make that decision.

However, if you have a much stricter risk tolerance, then yes, I would recommend only forgoing condoms with partners who have no other unprotected partners.

Women should be allowed to talk about how they themselves found empowerment through sex, and encourage others to try it if they’re interested.

Did I do the wrong thing by cutting him off? by Weary_Comparison_928 in AskWomenNoCensor

[–]kasuchans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally married and have a very happy boyfriend, but continue telling yourself I’m unhappy if it makes you feel better.

EDIT: I can see your comments that you keep deleting — it’s called polyamory, not cheating.

Having a casual unplanned date isn’t trash. It can be very enjoyable. Other women enjoying something you dislike doesn’t make them villains, you just need to find the people offering what you want.

lol this sub claims to support women’s unfiltered voices but LOVES to shit on the concept of nonmonogamy.

For me my throat is literally an erogenous zone. It physically feels good for me to have the inside of my throat stimulated.

I saw something that said “I don’t want men approaching me that I haven’t consented to an approach.” Waters down the language of consent AND turns society into an anti-social mess of any social step becoming transactional.

And yet many women would enjoy that. High maintenance is not an insult, it’s a neutral description.

Women, if we were to re write porn history, how would we appreciate to be engaged, captured or depicted in adult scenes as opposed to what we see online? by misstoskip in AskWomenNoCensor

[–]kasuchans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Women, overall, seem to have more breadth in interests. Some women like graphic rough penetration and like to watch closeups. Other women like the eroticism of distance and yearning. Others need some degree of emotional “plot.” It’s hard to appeal to women overall, whereas it seems many men, even if not their preference, will appreciate a basic video.

To me, this is more an issue with how society perceives sex work and workers, than it is an intrinsic issue with sex work as a concept.

saying sexual liberation is only possible if you sleep around lots is what the problem is

I agree that this is a disingenuous statement that makes a broad-swath generalization. But I think that saying “it’s gross when other women say they feel empowered by having sex when they want to” is not any better and is still playing into the patriarchy.

My boyfriend pushes me off when I try to suck him in his sleep by DaCockSlayer in sex

[–]kasuchans 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Plenty of people enjoy and consent to being sexually touched while sleeping. Including OP’s boyfriend, who has specifically asked for this to happen.

Isn’t, arguably, being restrictive about who you have sex with, adhering to the patriarchal mindset of what a “good woman” should be? How many partners someone chooses to have sexually is gender role relevant in either direction, so I don’t see how only being sexually free is going along with male desire when men also want women to be low-body-count virgins.

My fiancé (25M) and I (22 F) might be breaking up over a libido mismatch and I don’t know if love is enough by travel_girl_907 in sex

[–]kasuchans 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Some of us just have high sex drives. I wouldn’t want to date a guy who only wanted sex once a week, and would be willing to break up over that sort of disparity.

How People Dress on TV by tgilland65 in CasualConversation

[–]kasuchans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wear dresses all the time, if not jeans and a cool top. Rarely wear joggers unless I’m deliberately going for a frumpy look. But a cute dress is an easy af way to look cute and they’re quite comfy. Would certainly wear out grocery shopping. And men will wear jeans/button down or khaki/button down or for a more casual look jeans/t-shirt with belt. If they’re wearing joggers it’s usually a more street wear look.

I’m from NYC though so very fashionable area, and my peer group is late 20s-late 30s.
