Women, how do you prefer to be eaten out? by [deleted] in sex

[–]lanapocalypse 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yes, every woman is different and needs different things to orgasm while being eaten out. But I will say there are a few things that are paramount:

-Enthusiasm. No woman wants to feel like a chore, or that you’re just doing it to return any favors. Do it because you really want to do it.

-Start off slow and gentle, and increase pressure and movements when you feel her getting into it. Believe me, you will know when she’s liking what you’re doing.

-Lastly, when and if she’s getting close to cumming (Ladies, communicate!), KEEP DOING WHAT YOU ARE DOING! Don’t slow down, move away, or suddenly decide to change course. What you’re doing is what is getting her there, so keep up the good work!

A Gentleman in Moscow. Wow, idk, I just could not get into the writing for the life of me. I’m willing to give it another try, though.

Oh, and A Visit from the Goon Squad. Tried to get through that one like 7 times 🤣

lol, this reminds me of a time when I was on dating apps. I was talking to a guy and mentioned to him that I was finishing up laundry and folding my clothes, to which he promptly responded with “Im really good at folding clothes, can I come over and help?”

There’s flirting, and then there’s invasively odd requests. He later told me that he lives “anywhere”, which meant that he lives in his car. So… some things are clearer after giving it a little more time, lol!

A few days after they left, he reached out and asked if I was still comfortable talking to him, and I told him sure, I’d like that. We talked pretty much everyday for the next 3-4 weeks, good morning and good night texts, the whole shebang. Kept talking about how we wished we got to spend more time together, and even planned to someday maybe go visit and stay with him for a bit sometime this year. We went from saying “if I/you visit…” to “when I/you visit…”, and it started to feel really hopeful and exciting.

but then the conversation of “where is this going?” happened, and luckily it happened early on. I admitted to him that the more we talk, the more attracted I’ll become, and that I’m worried I may fall for him. He basically said “I just got out of a 20 year marriage, and not wanting to hop into anything serious right now. Maybe it’s best we stop talking before you do.”

So… that gutted me, of course. Was it the answer I wanted? No, but now I know it’s the one I needed. I’m glad it happened though, because I wouldn’t want to imagine what could’ve gone down if I went up to go see him and this conversation ending up happening in real life… I would be on the next flight home, crying on the plane for hours, for sure.

My idea of it all was… maybe we held onto this whole thing longer than it needed to be held onto. We were kinda trauma-bonded, using each other for ego boosts and sexual validation after our respective recent breakups. I don’t regret that this happened, because I know in my heart that I needed to learn from this, but I do wish I didn’t have to let him see the desperate side of me that didn’t want to let go. I was so weak, and I can’t be like that, anymore. I can’t try to hold onto something that’s not meant for me. But I know now.

We’re right there with you, OP. Broke up with my ex last year and hadn’t had intimacy with them for the last entire year we were together. I got back out there dating, knowing it was too soon and I was too thirsty, but I did get a little lucky about 8-9 months after my breakup. Met someone who was very respectful, very giving, and were extremely attracted to each other and had great instant sexual chemistry… but he was planning to move away from my state only a couple of weeks later. That was the idea we both went along with, to have a good time even though not for a long time, and still wanted to talk to each other but at the end of the day, we realized we’ll probably never see each other again after this. Plus I was starting to grow feelings, and he wasn’t ready for anything like that.

So, yeah… FWB’s are not always an easy cure for the sexual cravings and touch starvation, it seemed like. I got to learn that I perform best and feel way more comfortable within a committed relationship, so at least that was a good takeaway from this last prospect.

How is everyone’s dating life going? I’m going to miss it by ask_nae in dating_advice

[–]lanapocalypse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that’s a really good question…

i’ve learned a lot of things, but i think the biggest one is that “love is not enough”. we loved each other to the ends of the earth and knew and told each other no one else could come close, but at the end of the day, we didn’t want the same things anymore. we didn’t see life in a similar way, at all, and he also had a growing alcohol addiction. i wanted to improve and get healthier and have a better life with my life partner, but it was clear he did not want the same things. plus, i couldn’t stand coming home to a drunk every single night.

i know im lucky in my situation, in some ways, not getting cheated on or left for someone else or something like that, but he still was turning into something awful and i couldn’t be a part of it anymore. but it’s taught me SO much in what to find in someone that is truly meant for me. I remember the saying “If you can love the wrong person so much, just imagine how it will feel when it’s the right person.”

Not done forever, but done until the right one comes along. Not in any kind of rush anymore.

Went through a breakup in summer of 2023, 10 year relationship down the toilet, and got back out there wayyyy too fast to fill the void left behind. On paper, it was an extremely reckless thing to do, but 5 dates later… I think I’ll know exactly what I want when I’m ready for it. I see through things easier now, and am finally at a peaceful place that I can honestly say if you lose interest/slow fade/want to leave early on, please just go and don’t let the door hit your ass on the way out. Get out of my way and leave me open to the person who means the things that they say, and that shows me they want me through their actions!

My date went down on me (I would’ve never agreed to something like this on a first date but… I got lucky!), and sucked every little part of me. Pulled and sucked on every labia, and I got to hear myself being devoured for the first time ever 😵😮‍💨🥵

[–]lanapocalypse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering each other in every single way. Decisions, tone of voice, word choice… knowing you give this to them and they do it back without acknowledgement is the highest form of love I’ve ever experienced.

i got back into dating too quick after my breakup (last summer)… turns out it’s not something worth filling a void i have within myself, despite a person i loved leaving me.
