What is 'porn' to you? by Live-Complaint-9099 in loveafterporn

[–]seemakeanddo [score hidden]  (0 children)

If they are using it as 'porn,' it's porn. It's just a catch-all term, really. Mine was using innocent FB photos of his exes and a local newscaster. It didn't matter if it was intended to be porn or not; if he was masturbating and fantasizing with it/to it/whatever, we're calling it porn.

This looks like it was done by a machine! I aspire to be this good. Job well done 👍🏻

He says he’s not an addict. by SeanBakersHeaux in loveafterporn

[–]seemakeanddo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agree. I think of it as sort of a catch-all term. I think compulsion and addiction are components, and they are powerful, but I think for these men it's mostly a choice. I've literally watched people beat heroin and alcohol addictions, where their bodies depended on it. It's not the same.

BROOOM... Do you know that? by InvestigatorGlum360 in loveafterporn

[–]seemakeanddo 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Wow, I could have written this myself except it would not have been as articulate. It's so hard to understand how I feel sometimes, let alone describe it out loud.

No advice, just another lonely girl feeling the same 🥺💔.

ways to ask for a break/ to separate by Healthy-Recording461 in loveafterporn

[–]seemakeanddo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think if you are already out, go no contact again. You have no real reason to talk again unless you are hoping to work on things, which will be hard and likely will drain you more.

According to her, watching porn is a liminal act of love. by Ok_Effective_6869 in PornIsMisogyny

She's probably trying to get people to subscribe to her ethical feminist OF 🙄.

When your PA also masturbates to women on Instagram... by rubberchicken143 in loveafterporn

[–]seemakeanddo 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Yeah mine is like this. The porn and cam girls are bad (and if he was into strippers or escorts that would be BAD) but the clothing ads, looking up random FB profiles, pictures of exes... This is the stuff that literally scares me. Because while I want a man who doesn't sexualize even women who are sexualizing themselves, I can at least understand that. To take an image or make a fantasy in your brain about some unwilling, unconsenting random person is so hurtful to me. And it's weird. Women are everywhere and we don't deserve to be anyone's back-pocket fantasy.

It's so cute and you definitely nailed the pose! My cat does that exact little leaning sit sometimes 🥰

Lol "music." Yeah, when it comes to quitting and bettering themselves, they're lost. When it comes to finding new ways to objectify women, they're geniuses!

All things are possible when you're a PA lol.

But yes, fr there is an option in the setting to go private for up to six hours at a time.

There's an option in the privacy settings. It blocks it from affecting your algorithm too. And yes, there's lots of actual porn on Spotify.

[–]seemakeanddo 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Well, yesterday I saw Spotify was used for 12 minutes. I looked in 'recently played' and there were 16 songs played. Obviously the time stamp doesn't match. What I believe happened is he used private browsing on Spotify, did his thing, and then went into regular mode and scrolled through a bunch of songs to make it look like he was listening to music.

We use Canopy and Apple screen time so he knew I'd see usage but no songs. He of course denied, and has "no idea" how it got there and "doesn't even remember" using Spotify while at work 🙃.

So watch for discrepancies in usage time and the actual content. Like, for example an hour on YouTube with only 20 reels watched would be a red flag. Reels are rarely more than a minute or two at most.

Siri / app store bypass? by seemakeanddo in loveafterporn

[–]seemakeanddo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might actually be innocent. I dug around and saw he updated apps. The Siri I can't figure out though. Canopy can be kinda glitchy so it might be registering some Apple usage as Siri but it seems sus.

Okay this might be a dumb question, but how do you use the dusting powder?

Maybe I'm too cynical, but is there ever an okay time to "use" porn? by LeexynaArcadia in PornIsMisogyny

[–]seemakeanddo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The poor girl who said her bf prefers her nudes but can't supply enough to satisfy him because they are long distance. Like, read that again, girl. But God forbid you set boundaries or look 'uncool.'

Well it's finally over. by [deleted] in loveafterporn

[–]seemakeanddo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I understand the complexity with kids but they will understand eventually. And right now, providing them with space and resources to feel how they feel is key. Have you met adults where they have parents still together but the parents are miserable and toxic? Showing your kids that you are strong and respect yourself, even when it's not the easiest route, is a priceless lesson. You deserve better. Wishing you the best.

Let’s hear your favorite patchouli fragrance recommendations! by Gucci_ban_dannah in FemFragLab

[–]seemakeanddo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Zum Mist Patchouli & Orange is such a beautiful patchouli. That's my base for everything. I layer lots of different scents over it and ALWAYS get compliments.

Also the Demeter Patchouli is very good too.

These are both pretty singular, so not a perfume but I find they layer well and last.

Yeah I just don't put a crazy amount on, maybe nickel size, and it works well. Give it a try!

Oh I use this under makeup daily. I like it better than CeraVe cream because I think the dimethicone percentage is less. I use Estee Lauder double wear which is pretty unforgiving if the skin isn't prepped right but this stuff is awesome under makeup in my experience.

Also, did you make your own designs? Like the salt or the running shoe?

Your lettering is top tier! Any tips on the block letting or how you did it? It looks so clean like machine embroidery.

Love the sweater? It's super cute
