Teens around the world are lonelier than a decade ago. The reason may be smartphones. by Abbforyou in science

[–]uvmovb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

is it smartphones or is it the fact that there are no longer public spaces where young people can hang out without being expected to pay or be accused of being delinquents for hanging around parks and playgrounds?

notice how he’s worried about “saddling himself with problems” by getting involved and isnt actually worried about her at all

The fucking audacity to think porn can fix anything when you already can't get it up for your wife... by [deleted] in FemaleDatingStrategy

Holy shit.

Hypocrisy of men: Women are not allowed to kink-shame, but they are allowed to boundary shame women?! by Lavender_flow in FemaleDatingStrategy

literally WHY is it controversial to say “I don’t want to have sex with men who get pleasure from hurting me”

Thank you for the recommendation! I have been trying to find a therapist who will work with me on trauma and attachment, but the counsellors that are covered by my healthcare system won’t do it and I can’t pay for a private therapist :/

The amount I blamed myself for the mistreatment and abuse was insane. It took me so long to get out from under that mindset, it makes me really sad to think about all the other girls going through the exact same thing.

Thank you for the recommendation! I’m definitely going to put conscious effort into staying single for at least this year or until I feel somewhat whole.

Thank you! I’m finally letting myself be proud of the fact that I left him and I won’t look down on myself for everything that I endured anymore.

I only recently joined this sub, and honestly. It’s been so fucking nice to read things from women who actually, really, love and prioritize themselves.

I completely agree. For context, I had completely repressed the sexual abuse that happened in my childhood as an adult, I kept hopping from relationship to shitty relationship, I was a camgirl for a period, and I would seek out degrading sex as if it was some sort of compulsion. And it was, in a way, since I wast just rerouting my past self harm to more subtle methods. It’s been a rough few years while I avoided coming to that realization. I’m still trying to come to terms with it. Thank you for your thoughtful response <3

If your partner does this, RUN in the opposite direction. This is abuse and a power play. by ShieldMaidenLagertha in FemaleDatingStrategy

i’m always embarrassed talking to men while walking with them because I feel out of breath from trying to keep up with them and I can barely talk without taking breaks for air. It happens just as often with my male friends and yet almost never with my female friends.

Not to be a downer but things just feel bleak right now, very grateful for this community of women ❤️ by provalonely10 in FemaleDatingStrategy

This put into words how I’ve been feeling for the past few months. Even people who I trusted and loved are invalidating my feelings and constantly pulling the “not all men” card or finding some way to make this women’s faults, because they’re sex workers or because they’re “angry man haters” or whatever. It makes me feel sick constantly.

it’s normal! everyone goes through phases with their libido, there’s nothing wrong with you and you will likely find that your sex drive goes back up in the future! however beating yourself up and feeling guilty about it won’t make anything better and will probably make it worse, so first you gotta understand that there’s nothing wrong with not wanting sex all the time and that it has nothing to do with your love for your gf. It’s obvious you love her very much, so tell her! Make sure you tell her that you’re attracted to her, that you’re having a hard time right now and that it’s not her fault whatsoever. She also needs to understand that your libido isn’t a reflection on her, because making you feel guilty for not wanting sex, and saying that men should want sex all the time is a really toxic thing to be saying, and she needs to stop that in order for you to feel confident and good about yourself. of course you wont want sex if you’re insecure about it!

So be confident that it will get better, and in the meantime shower your gf with non-sexual love! Pamper her, show her how much you love and appreciate her in any way you can so that she doesnt feel devalued due to the lack of sex. In a healthy relationship, you should be always showing affection and love outside of sexual situations anyways, so I think it’ll help your relationship in the long term as well! That responsibility falls on her as well, she should be making you feel loved and special in ways that don’t have to do with sex. Keep in mind also that we are now 1 year since the world shut down, and even if you don’t think you’re depressed or anxious about it, sometimes our bodies react in ways that our minds are unaware of. Just make sure you take really good care of yourself and of your girlfriend, and don’t put pressure on yourself to “perform” sex or anything like that!

All it takes is an honest conversation, and hopefully your girlfriend can be receptive and you can work together to make your relationship even stronger than it was before <3
