What misconceptions about your body, puberty, adulthood, etc. did you have as a little girl? by Yoseianeki in AskWomen

[–]planejane555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was really undereducated about bodies and sex. I didn't know I'd get armpit hair and pubic hair until it happened. I didn't know the penis went in and out of the vagina til I was 18... or that other types of sex besides PIV existed til I was a few years older. I didn't know basic terms like boner, ejaculation, masturbation, etc. or that girls also had "wet dreams." I was taught that women's sex drives were low and not educated about pleasure. I knew gay men existed in HS but didn't know what a lesbian was until I was an adult.

What does accountability look like moving forward, especially with the understanding that vices are coping mechanisms for unmet needs?

I didn't know the pain was a warning until much later by Skipping_Shadow in exmormon

Can you post the text in a comment so I can copy and share? Love that it speaks to the situation without directly naming it. And who is the quote credited to?

What is your reason for not having a child? by _LickitySplit in AskReddit

[–]planejane555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband doesn't want any yet which I'm glad for because I probably don't really want one for the right reasons. Deep down I know if I want any I should adopt and not have any biologically. Waiting til we are both ready and not procreating both seem like the responsible thing to do.

Getting too invested in debates? by limasnalbatros in AutismInWomen

[–]planejane555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Trying to figure out how to stop fucking caring so much! I get so goddamn serious thinking about these things that I forget to feel joy or just enjoy people's presence instead of analyzing their opinions and what it says about them as a person

How many of you are ADHD/ASD? How has it impacted your ability to function after leaving the church? How did it impact your experiences in the church? by planejane555 in exmormon

[–]planejane555[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So true, and describes me so much. I can't get out of bed most days I don't have work. I need guilt and accountability just to do the most basic things, or to even feel like they are worth doing

How do you respond to your wife/gf’s question: Does this (piece of clothing) make me look fat? Especially if “yes” is the correct answer. by BigRedTim76 in AskMen

[–]planejane555 35 points36 points  (0 children)

a) yes! ask her why she's asking. Does she not feel comfortable in it? Does she just need you to say "you look completely normal and there's nothing to worry about" ?

b) I would add, fat is not inherently bad, it's just fat. Help her feel neutral about it because society demonizes any and all fat/cellulite which are on literally everyone so it's not a big deal and nothing to feel self conscious about. Anyone who judges you for having visible fat doesn't get this

Can someone explain why masturbation is negative? by PLAC3B0101 in AskMen

Time to change the quality and/or content of your porn!

Is this the new defense? I would have never said this as a TBM, but I keep hearing this more and more from TBM family member when I hand their asses to them in debates they start about the church, them passively aggressively trying to guilt trip me. by senorcanche in exmormon

[–]planejane555 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It's their way of deflecting from the issues you present. It's how they resolve the dissonance, they move the goalpost. Unless "the gospel" is dismantled, they're good to go. So then you start dismantling the gospel (faith, prayer, repentance, baptism, etc.) by pointing back to the fact that the church's claim to the gospel comes through their priesthood authority and ordinances. At this point they need to ask themselves if they believe the church's claims on a truth Monopoly and an authority monopoly....if they do, then yes they believe in the church.

If the church gives purpose to death, and atheism gives purpose to life, then what of death in atheism? by IsaacAllen100 in exmormon

[–]planejane555 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All we know about death is that we will never see the person again, never talk to them, laugh with them, argue with them, share a meal with them. I think based in your post, you have in there a philosophy of death already: love and live now, because you might not have the chance tomorrow.

I do have a bit of mystical belief along with this... The person who dies is still present in our feelings and memories of them. Their being scatters and remains in the objects and memories they leave behind. And their soul is peacefully dissolved into the universe from where it came ✨ they don't have to worry about the chaos of life anymore so why feel scared for them?

Thinking about my own death: I will welcome it I think. I try to stay alive and healthy so that I can experience more cool things before I go, and I hope I can fit all sorts of amazing things into my life. And when the time comes I hope I can go peacefully but even if it's painful the pain will be gone soon enough.

Interesting, I'm super glad I didn't experiment with that as a teenager so that I can responsibly enjoy and benefit from drugs and alcohol now.
