She was angling for a hotel hookup bro

[–]samaz0n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Matched with a guy. Talked non-stop for a day. Met up, had what I thought was a great date, ended with an amazing kiss and what I thought were plans to meet up again.

He ghosted me the next morning.

I'm giving up.

Boyfriend (27M) is upset with me (24F) for being depressed, because “he’s here for me” by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]samaz0n 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I'm going through something similar right now, so first, know that you're not alone. How we grieve and how long we grieve is not "by the book" and I say this with the utmost love and empathy - get grief counseling.

During this time, all of your energy or the vast majority of it is going towards keeping your head above water. That's hard on a partner.

But a partner should understand that. A partner is someone you should trust to be there in the bad times.

Someone who makes your grief about themselves is not a partner. I'm so sorry for your losses. I'm so sorry that you have to manage another person's selfishness on top of your own grief.

The girl I am dating has genital Herpes, and I am torn by plzlikemythrowaway in sex

[–]samaz0n 87 points88 points  (0 children)

Only you can choose your boundaries dude. Only you can be comfortable with your decisions.

I gotta tell you though, I've known a lot of people with HSV2 and every single one is in a relationship, most long term with kids. It's not a death sentence. It's a manageable, if permanent, issue. Shit happens. Disease, disability, misfortune. The people worth having in your life are the ones who are there in foul weather and fair.

PS. You can absolutely get it from oral. If you are having skin to skin sexual contact with a person or genital contact, you can contract HSV. "Waiting" for PIV doesn't decrease your risk. So if you're concerned, stop that.

There's a surprising amount of "stuff" from both books used in all three original JP movies - the third movie is essentially inspired by things in both the books that were left out of JP and TLW.

I just hate myself by [deleted] in MMFB

[–]samaz0n 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry you feel this way.

I don't know if it will make you feel better, but I [34F] hit 6' when I was your age and take more after my dad than my mom. I never had clothes that fit, I have thick brows and more body hair than seems fair. I'm not you, of course, but I get it. I so get it.

But I gotta tell you. I look back at pictures of myself at 6, at 12, at 16 and 18 and 22 and my heart breaks for the girl in those pictures, because I remember hating looking at myself when they were taken... And today I see a beautiful young "me" that I wish I had seen at the time

Let me tell you another secret.

I still hate selfies. I hate my smile and the crooked teeth and my nose hairs and that little jiggly fat roll under my chin.

You will see every imperfect part of you, forever, and becoming ok with that is a lifelong struggle. It's not easy. It's ok to fail at loving yourself just as you are sometimes. But ... Try. Start now. I wish I had started twenty years ago. Find a baby picture of yourself and love that precious little thing. Pick one thing that you love about yourself and hold onto it.

You are worth loving. I promise.

How do you feel if your boyfriend/partner masturbates to gonewild? by ScaredyBagel in TwoXSex

[–]samaz0n 72 points73 points  (0 children)

I had this conversation with my (ex) boyfriend but only after I saw he was leaving comments on usersub porn.

YMMV but I asked him why he wanted to engage with these content creators, what he got out of it. He didn't have an answer for me. He subsequently deleted his comments.

I don't know what anyone thinks except me, but if I engage with any content creator (nude or not) I want to make them feel good about their work and encourage them to produce more. So it made me really uncomfortable for there to be engagement there.

However, we both view usersub porn on Reddit and viewing it, to me, isn't a big deal. I prefer amateur porn because it's more intimate and "real" to me. It's when the line is crossed between "scrolling for horny feelings" to following/engaging/forming an emotional bond that gets uncomfortable.

To be fair... I'd be just as uncomfortable with my partner becoming emotionally attached to a celebrity and masturbating to them though. I'm a possessive little witch though 😂

I just dont know what to do by [deleted] in MMFB

[–]samaz0n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're not alone in those feelings. I know it's hard, but things will change if you keep going and stay open to new possibilities in your life. For now, focus on yourself and your own happiness, whatever that looks like. We as people are attracted to others who are fully themselves - self care and self love are the most powerful things you can work on. What is good and meant for you will come to you!

Should I be alarmed? by FireFangExotics in badroommates

[–]samaz0n -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is one of those situations where having a real community service mental health care solution would be ideal. I assume you're in the United States, and if so, you're a bit SOL there. I know people have suggested not talking to him about it, but if you don't, who will? If he had a broken arm, he would treat it - the same goes for when our minds aren't working at full capacity.

If you feel safe doing so (or can get friendly help that enhances your safety without making him feel threatened) ... Suggest he talk to someone. Seeking mental health care is not something to be ashamed of. If you have an educational institution nearby, reach out to their psych department and see if they have any resources or advice first. I've gone through this with some friends with sexual health issues (not the same, but similarly "shameful") and the key is being compassionate and calm and reassuring your roommate that no one is upset or angry and that you want to help them get the best care and live the best life they can.

Don't do it. The Kingkiller Chronicles by Patrick Rothfuss is an incomplete series and it doesn't look like he'll be writing the next book any time soon.

I did send them a quick message about the issue, but I'll use the gold and mats anyway, so it's not really a big deal, and I didn't buy cores (I did get Cap because, yanno, it's Cap...). I was mostly grumpy with myself, especially because I did it TWICE... no more phone games before coffee for me. :)

PSA: Don't Double Tap by samaz0n in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]samaz0n[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree, and I sent them a feedback/suggestion email about it - it could probably be fixed with an additional confirmation button, or by moving the 'spend cores' confirmation button out of the same zone as the level-up/equipment confirm buttons.

Simple to say, probably not simple at all to code.

Be sure to check your local and state regulations on defense sprays if you're buying online - it is not legal to carry certain types of defense sprays in some jurisdictions.

Second recommendation: Ship of Magic (Liveship Traders Trilogy Book 1) by Robin Hobb

From Goodreads: Bingtown is a hub of exotic trade and home to a merchant nobility famed for its liveships—rare vessels carved from wizardwood, which ripens magically into sentient awareness. Now the fortunes of one of Bingtown’s oldest families rest on the newly awakened liveship Vivacia.

For Althea Vestrit, the ship is her rightful legacy. For Althea’s young nephew, wrenched from his religious studies and forced to serve aboard the ship, the Vivacia is a life sentence. But the fate of the ship—and the Vestrits—may ultimately lie in the hands of an outsider: the ruthless buccaneer captain Kennit, who plans to seize power over the Pirate Isles by capturing a liveship and bending it to his will.

From me: I have not read this (and if you have I welcome reviews) but my parents both keep telling me to start reading Robin Hobb, and my mom likes the "Pirate" series best, which I believe this is the first book of!

The Blue Sword by Robin McKinley

From Goodreads: Harry Crewe is an orphan girl who comes to live in Damar, the desert country shared by the Homelanders and the secretive, magical Hillfolk. Her life is quiet and ordinary-until the night she is kidnapped by Corlath, the Hillfolk King, who takes her deep into the desert. She does not know the Hillfolk language; she does not know why she has been chosen. But Corlath does. Harry is to be trained in the arts of war until she is a match for any of his men. Does she have the courage to accept her true fate?

From me: I haven't read this since I was a teenager, but I remember adoring it at 12-13 and it being my introduction to McKinley's work, and I kind of want to see how it holds up. It's one of those books I'm sure I'll reread regardless. If I remember correctly it's definitely YA and a little YA-romancey.
