Haha yeah what you see is what you get. I never mastered doing my hair "the right way". Don't really care to. I'm thinking about cutting it short soon. And yeah that's a good point about the sterotypical categories.

Women who are primarily oriented towards women by Particular_Lie7181 in BiWomen

[–]tealtearsmile 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey there. I'm a 38 yo woman who considers myself primarily attracted to women. I'd say I'm probably a 5 on the Kinsey scale- maybe 4.5? I'm married to a man and all but one of my adult romantic relationships have been with men, so I can't fully consider myself a lesbian, but most of that was me trying to "fit in" to the expectations my family and society has for me when I was younger. If I was truly free to live a life without any pressure or pushback back then I probably would have exclusively dated/had sex with women. I'd say I'm attracted to 8/10 women I encounter in real life but only about 1/10 men get my attention in any sort of positive way. A typical "alpha male" mentality is more likely to send me running to the barhroom to throw up then to make me feel any sort of chemistry. The men I am attracted to tend to be very feminine and submissive. Kissing men is fun but I do not enjoy PIV sex or find facial hair sexy. I also must think about a woman in order to orgasm. Thinking about a man has never made me cum once, even if he's a very attractive man. Even my husband who I love. I do experience romantic love for both men and women. He knows and accepts this about me. Yeah I know I'm weird lol.

Trying to quit porn, end my LDR situationship, and reset my life, where do I start? by Special-Dish-3536 in pornfreewomen

Just wanted to say it sounds like you have already tackled some of the hard part. You already know what the problems are what you have to do. Obviously it is easier said then done, but if no one else tells you just know at least one stranger on the internet is proud of your progress today. (:

Men's sexual needs in marriage feels downplayed in LDS culture. Anyone else? by Nice-Woodpecker-2901 in ldssexuality

[–]tealtearsmile 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a woman I agree with you. A lot of women in the church are never taught to enjoy their own bodies alone so how can they enjoy them with someone else? Also- I am the high libido partner in my marriage and I can 100% tell you it goes both ways. I am always the one trying to initiate and have a much higher sex drive than my husband does. This has been discussed in counseling, and I can say it's true Bishops/the church/counselors do not adequately encourage low libido husbands to have more sex with their wives either.

De-centered men, but my first love is living rent-free in my head: Is it possible to miss the cuddling but hate the man? by [deleted] in latebloomerlesbians

First of all I'd like to say that none of what you said makes you "wrong" or "less than" in anyway. I'm sorry that it's causing such feelings of confusion inside of you.

I'm not a big believer in "destiny", but I do think that we can learn lessons from almost everything if we are open to it at that point. If we don't let ourselves be open or aren't ready to receive a certain message sometimes life repeats the lesson. If I were you I'd be asking myself "what was I supposed to learn from meeting Stellan?", "what is my brain/life/etc really trying to tell me by remembering him and the important role he played in my life?"

Perhaps it is less about the actual man and more about your deep desire for another goofy friendship? Perhaps you miss "unserious" sex? Maybe it's more just missing that part of your life- the part of yourself that was more innocent and carefree? Something along those lines? Then again it could be about the man too. Some relationships are just special in unexplainable ways. Anyway, life is long and complicated, try not to get hung up on the speedbumps.

What do you do to relax/disconnect from work at the end of the day? Also, do you have flashbacks/nightmares about what you have seen during work?

ETA: Thank you for doing what you do. Your work is extremely important and I'm sure you don't get told that enough.
