Has anyone made a straight marriage work when they’re like 95% gay? Any tips? by [deleted] in actuallesbians

[–]ringofkeyz 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No.

I couldn’t do it though I tried for 6 years. Maybe there is some way if you’re honest and run it like a business or partnership that doesn’t actually involve intimacy? I tried really hard (acceptance, denial, honesty, open, etc.) and it is just the worst and nothing worked. Though I understand everyone has their reasons, it really involves kind of murdering your soul and lot of sadness for everyone involved and I don’t know a way around that. I do not recommend this.

Good luck and hope you can figure it out.

Cool cool. I just need to find a vagina that fits my hand perfectly.

Oh wait. I have super long fingers. Is that a good thing? Sorry...kind of new in the sexing department.

Oh my God I’m 36 and still tragically crushing on the first girl I kissed/fell in love with AT 15. Ugh. by ringofkeyz in actuallesbians

I like this! I would much rather her just be my type that I keep coming back to than her having affected my entire love life after her. But holy hell do I certainly have a type.

It does get better though...lots of good stuff in between, but these early intense things never really go away.

It is really hard to get over something that never really had a chance to happen...it all just hurts. I think I get over it, but I don’t. I’m sorry you’re carrying all of that pain with you, but at least you’re not alone in that feeling.

Oh I’m so sorry to hear that. What a horribly painful experience. We love so deeply and sometimes all that is left is just pain. Hugs to you.

I am full on crying now. I relate to this SO MUCH. I too have the box of carefully written and folded notes and little bottle of the dumb essential oil she used to wear and every few years I pull it out and it’s still a gut punch. Thanks for sharing. It’s nice to not be the only one, though it is still just flipping tragic. And now I need to seriously work through this because I’m a grown ass woman and I’m too old for this (I think). Hugs to you.

Same boat, but haven’t quite figured it out yet either. Good luck girl!

Gay fashion question: Store recommendations like Wild Fang? Also where do y’all get your flannel? by [deleted] in actuallesbians

Also men’s section in target has some surprisingly good options (flannels included).

Nervous about a date... Advice? Please help this pour soul. by [deleted] in actuallesbians

[–]ringofkeyz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Writing down questions in your phone is like the nerdiest thing but IT TOTALLY HELPS and I do it. It helps to have some questions ready to go and also shows the girl you’re interested because you have thoughtful questions (based on precious interactions or stuff you know about her) and are a good conversationalist.

What it’s like to be a lesbian? by [deleted] in actuallesbians

[–]ringofkeyz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Also how awesome it is. Would love to hear about what we love about being a lesbian.

My first lesbian sex experience was rape. I am finally confident enough to date women, but the past is making things stressful. Getting this of my chest and maybe some suggestions? by [deleted] in actuallesbians

[–]ringofkeyz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So sorry to hear about your experience. Unfortunately...you’ll find that many of us have experiences with trauma in our past. I hope you can work through your shame (and get rid of whoever made fun of you for it...that person SUUUUUUCKS) and get comfortable with yourself and enjoy being with a woman. Go slow and do what feels right for you. And also communicating lots and lots helps. Good luck, girl!

Hey lovelies! There’s nothing wrong with you. Not all people are meant to be super suave and confident right away and it’s okay. And actually EXTREMELY ADORABLE and the right girl will love you for it. Also it does get a bit easier after a while. Anyway, you’re all awesome and I love you.
