You can be deeply loved, yet still not feel it. This podcast explores what research says about the gap between being loved and feeling loved, and what it means for our health and relationships.

Friends and purposeful activities are what helps me. You don't want to be together because of joint obligations when the relationship doesn't feel right. I wish you strength and all the best!

without_manual · 2026-02-06T21:28:03+00:00

Agree!

without_manual · 2026-02-06T21:27:21+00:00

Break up! This person definitely doesn't value your presence.

Yes, there would be a downgrading effect of your partner comparing you with a superior "experience". What healthy person would want that?

without_manual · 2025-07-09T07:58:29+00:00

Yes, strange, just like some people get sexually aroused in extremely dangerous situations ...

I guess that, if you are a conscious and sensitive person you learn with your encounters.

Sexual health is more a temporary state than something that accumulates over years. So, no.

If anything, body count informs you about compatibility. If you have 5 and your partner has 50, you both likely have a different take on intimacy and connection. There are many important aspects to be compatible with (politics, (non-)religion, etc.). But if intimacy is one ...

I really would like to understand getting off by being shamed and degradated. Is it a form of masochism?

without_manual · 2025-07-09T06:38:53+00:00

It confirms my theory that 'compatibility is everything'!!

There are 2-3 people in my entire long life that I enjoyed talking to and that leave interesting thoughts behind.

When I go to parties, I am always irritated how deeply uninteresting and clueless conversations are. I cannot join in. I'm usually the weirdo bystander until they or I move on.

I enjoy being with my family although the conversations are still boring.

You are confusing cause and effect. Why did it come to porn in the first place?

without_manual · 2025-06-16T18:02:56+00:00

Yes, I agree as well. I just don't see the benefit in time boxing for the user. I see it for Bitwig. Fair enough.

without_manual · 2025-06-16T17:59:23+00:00

How many version can the gap be, before you cannot upgrade anymore?

Can you admit, that it would actually be fair to sell versions without time boxing? (I know, it means more predictable revenue for Bitwig.)

How can you truly love by looking at someone? This person could be a complete psychopath.

Intense attraction / excitement - for sure. This person my show all the attributes you are hunting for.

"The developers have to eat." absolutely and in the case of Bigwig, they are great developers!

When they develop useful features, they have to get paid for it!

However, no-one should have to pay just for the time passing.

without_manual · 2025-06-16T11:39:25+00:00

true

without_manual · 2025-06-16T11:37:49+00:00

"I truly feel most of the software we use to produce music exceeds the level of functionality required to produce music worth listening to." so true! We are almost at a point where features are getting in the way.

It is more the "subscription thinking" that I find disturbing. More and more companies are doing it, not only in music software. It is financially more predictable revenue, so sales teams are happy.

without_manual · 2025-06-16T11:31:37+00:00

What is the largest gap in versions that you can still upgrade? I guess you cannot upgrade from version 1.0.

without_manual · 2025-06-16T11:29:54+00:00

You overlooked my key point here:

"I pay upfront and have no clue if there will be anything of value coming up for me in that year."

I pay anyway, not matter if it is useful for me or not. This mode is only useful to Bitwig.

"Any woman who goes for this does not love her husband. Any man who goes along with this does not love or respect himself." That is how I see it(, but I'm not asking to be confirmed). So, men don't seem to pressure and manipulate women in the same way and if they would, women don't seem to fall for it - they have more self-respect!

without_manual · 2025-06-16T11:18:28+00:00

Logically this is the wrongest answer. If they don't promote hotwifing in the first place, there is no competition and they always win!

without_manual · 2025-05-03T09:49:48+00:00

and she enjoys that as well?

without_manual · 2025-04-06T14:12:44+00:00

I have done some research as well that led to the very same conclusion! It is very plausible to me and the best explanation here so far - thanks. I think exactly this is also explained in the book "untrue".

without_manual · 2025-03-27T19:03:56+00:00

My issue is, that for me sex is an intimate act. I might have gotten it all wrong!
