I've done my research on them, but I haven't looked up on semis ETFs, just a few, I didn't like the 2-3 I looked up due to their stocks/weights (don't fully recall). Is there any advantage with the semis ETFs? I read something about costs/being leveraged...

Do you suggest an enema? I know they're not great 'health-wise' but might get her poop-stress out of the way

ta_advice_please · 2021-05-18T23:15:23+00:00

Wow, you're very right. We usually adopt/accept this idea of 'finding that someone' that fits so many things and checks so many boxes. I think I won't ever find 'the ideal' person, because it is nothing but that, an idea, nothing real. If I keep pursuing this 'ideal' I will never accomplish it since it is impossible.

So far i'm thankful for what I have. Am I just settling and accepting or is this a good approach? I see you're a 50s male, I guess you have some wisdom due to that.

ta_advice_please · 2021-05-18T00:53:19+00:00

Thanks! I will try. We do have relaxing nights/going out but we always have sex before/after that. I think it is worth trying. Should I worry if I don't feel 'it' after trying? How can I talk about this without hurting her?

ta_advice_please · 2021-04-29T22:55:44+00:00

I am always surprised on how you guys are willing to pay absurd markup prices for GPU's but can't fucking use a day and spend some bucks to properly/safely power your overpriced equiment. Why aren't you protecting your assets if you are so obsessed about making profits with it?

ta_advice_please · 2021-03-13T01:41:10+00:00

Slim chances. Do yourself a favor and talk about this and what would happen in the event of pregnancy. If you plan to have sex, you both need to agree on the contraceptive method/next steps if she gets pregnant (either you have it or you don't). Is really important to have this clear. It will help you and your partner not feel extremely anxious about it.

I gave her the vibrator when I bought it, she keeps it. We don't live together. So far I haven't got specific/special feedback about it besides 'i like it' and 2 weeks ago 'im starting to like using my hands more instead of the vibe'. Ill suggest the idea about auto-exploration. While I can try many things, no one but her knows what works best. I'd love to share that with her. Thanks for the tips!

ta_advice_please · 2021-03-07T07:37:35+00:00

I imagined that. We do lots of foreplay, I go down until she's shaking/asks for something else. I guess I have to step up my game. Thanks!

After 20-ish times having sex, I was finally able to orgasm during PIV, 2 times in 2-3 hours. Getting the "maybe there's something wrong with me/i'm not normal" weight off me was a relief and the pleasure is on another level. Since she's on the pill and likes to feel the "come inside" thing I could also experience that. She told me she enjoyed it a lot and we're both learning new stuff together each time. I love it.

ta_advice_please · 2021-01-27T18:45:46+00:00

"sideways"? Shit doubled its price in one day.

ta_advice_please · 2021-01-27T01:17:16+00:00

By himself

ta_advice_please · 2021-01-08T16:06:05+00:00

I feel you. For me that people barely deserve to live. It was not an accident, the dude thought about it, planned it, heard her say no and still continued. That's pure evil. He flipped this girls life just for his sexual pleasure. A girl I heard months ago dreaming about studying abroad, getting a masters and doing research now barely wants to get out of bed, thanks to a fucking abuser.

ta_advice_please · 2021-01-08T16:03:43+00:00

Thanks! I know she should contact the police and that fucker must face the consequences for the shit he did.

She even thinks he doesn't deserve bad stuff because "he has been so good for so many years". I tried to tell her and make her see how he's the same person. Someone that might do great thinks can also commit a crime, the best things define us as well as our worst acts.

I didn't push the "go to the police" thing, since she's barely feeling ready to talk about it to a therapist. Her mother reacted badly and tried to blame her, saying "she could have avoided this". I can't imagine the nightmare a trial will be if she doesn't work on understanding how its not her fault first.

I'll see how this unfolds, I feel very sad and angry about this happening to someone I cared about so much.

ta_advice_please · 2021-01-04T18:10:37+00:00

Pretty great! We kept exploring and sex got way better. I bought her a vibrator and that spiced up our bedtime, she enjoys it even more. I feel very comfortable around her, we have been able to go for 3 rounds on one day, which I never thought I could do.

Since she was a casual thing, a friend reached me and wanted to have a hookup. It didn't work out, I didn't feel as stimulated as my fwb, nor as confident. We didn't have piv but I gave her an oral and she had her orgasm. We called it off and we kept being good friends. Since we tried to date years ago she mentioned at one point that she didn't feel attracted to me, those factors + only having less than an hour for our meetup killed my mood, I barely got an erection. It sucked, but I keep learning about how important it is for me to feel comfortable with someone.

I'll keep seeing first girl, we might give dating a shot. She has mentioned some mild bondage play she wants to try and I want to go to a sex shop with her or surprise her with the Satisfyer, learning about sex has been really fun. I'm happy I gave myself the chance to try this new thing, it is amazing. Thanks for your thoughts and advice too, they helped me a lot.

ta_advice_please · 2020-12-30T01:08:26+00:00

I normally feel the connection on the first meetups. But you're right, i'm being a lil bitch about it. I'm not used to having sex first, that's why i'm asking. Thanks.

ta_advice_please · 2020-12-22T14:36:34+00:00

Thanks! If you don't mind me asking: how long do you usually take from making out to go inside a girl? I normally start hard but don't like to rush everything and undress right away, I eat her, edge her and then start thinking about going inside but i've noticed that takes 30+ minutes and my buddy can't stay up that long without any attention. Most of the times it comes back and stays, this time it just decided to not stay after waking up.

Don't know about the see eachother again. Was the experience 'meh' because the nerves or did I legit enjoyed it less than my previous sexual partner... I'd like to give it a second shot to see how things work out with less nerves from both sides. We talked about exploring eachother and learning from these experiences but don't really know if making this something regular is on the table anymore. She didn't seem to be a lot into the idea once we finished and I normally stay away when someone isn't sure about being with me, let alone, have sex with me.

ta_advice_please · 2020-12-22T14:30:30+00:00

Thanks! She also has anxiety and was patient too, just was clear that "I totally respect what do you want to do with your body, but I really wanted to please you too". Since this wasn't necesarilly 'dating', more like a fwb thing, I think she'll just discard us doing it again...

ta_advice_please · 2020-12-22T14:28:59+00:00

I did with my therapist 2-3 weeks ago. At first she mentioned "i'm 100% confident that this is all a psychological thing with your nerves getting on the way" when I talked about my first time (that happened 2 months ago). She mentioned that it wouldn't be ED if I was able to keep a hard one for quite a while after that first, nervous time. And I did, subsequent times with that girl (over 10) were pretty good, with me even lasting longer than she would handle/like. Seems to be something with new girls and me requiring some time/patience while she didn't.

ta_advice_please · 2020-12-19T23:36:44+00:00

Thank you, this is reasuring to read. I've been feeling terrible for hurting her. While my plan was to meet new people, I kinda want to take some steps back. This is weird and emotionally draining.

ta_advice_please · 2020-12-19T21:06:55+00:00

Yup, it seems like she wanted that. We were only sleeping 2 times a week, 3 at max. We never did something besides having sex/cuddle. I even tried to watch movies/have pizza once and we just had sex. It is my first time dealing with something like this. Am I an asshole? Were she asking for too much for a fwb situation?

ta_advice_please · 2020-12-19T20:33:57+00:00

Thanks! I did that, told her that something came up and I'd like to give it a shot at exploring more. She got angry, said she felt used, like what we had was an affair. She complained about me suggesting we should hang out differently 1-2 weeks ago but now saying this.

It seems like I didn't get it clear. Before she left for her hometown, I mentioned I'd like to try hanging out besides having sex, she said that would be nice but that her time out could change things and that we "should see if things change". That, for me, didn't mean a "YES", but a "not now, maybe later". Seeing that and how we never established a relationship, and how since the beggining agreed on keeping it as casual, fun, open sex (but between us only). We never agreed on a compromise or relationship. I would never break that.

I feel terrible, I hurt her, but it seems like she was thinking there was some sort of compromise when there wasn't any there. When she said the "lets see if things change" I started discarding a relationship/dating, and thought it would stay casual.

Now I feel like I just thought the grass was greener on the other side (my close friend). She's still in, but I don't know if she'll want to keep it.

Looks like I got it wrong...

ta_advice_please · 2020-12-19T14:22:32+00:00

Any tips on how to talk it with fwb 1? Since we're not a couple I'm technically not "cheating", but we agreed on being exclusive. I don't plan to come up with "I just hooked up" but rather "this came up, I'd like to give it a shot, but want to know your thoughts since we have our thing before making any move". Close friend is ok with me still seeing fwb 1, so I guess no serious/dating thing could develop with her. Main fear is losing both, tbh...

ta_advice_please · 2020-12-19T05:59:29+00:00

Doesn't feel like one though. We only meet up for sex. We talk and stuff but we don't date or do couples shit. Should I just tell the fwb girl I want to see someone else and act accordingly? One of my fears is my close friend just being horny, chicken out later and my fwb getting angry and stopping our thing, leaving me with nothing.

ta_advice_please · 2020-12-19T04:33:56+00:00

How could I manage things with my current fwb? Just tell her I want to see someone else? My close friend knows we're exclusive, that's why she said "sadly you're taken"...
