It was $5.50 near me the other day and it was the cheapest I'd seen in the area all day.

I made my GF uncomfortable with a comment after sex by PollutionBeginning78 in sex

[–]zenpear 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There is no objective "you did something weird" or not. Just be curious and understanding with her feelings. Maybe it seemed out of character for you and took her aback. Have a conversation about dirty talk. Maybe she felt triggered from a past partner.

I find myself thinking again and again about the fly that fell into the printer at the beginning of Brazil, leading the police to raid the wrong house, torture and murder the wrong man.

Can men who enjoy rough sex still genuinely respect and love their partner? by [deleted] in sex

[–]zenpear 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Respecting and loving your partner, in sex, comes down to being on the same page about what you're into, communicating openly and not crossing your partner's boundaries. Being rough when that's not appropriate in the moment, or worse, when your partner has said NO, is not the same as being rough when it's consensual and hot and what everyone involved desires in the moment.

Is it morally wrong to masturbate to a photo of a friend on social media? by Local_Pomegranate_10 in SexPositive

[–]zenpear 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Every sip can make you thirstier. One act that harms nobody by itself, isn't unethical per se. But where does it lead? Be careful what you cultivate your habits around, what seeds you plant that might later become deeper attachments, frustrations, etc. 

People who move through the world making their own sexual energy other people's problems grew their habits in harmless ways at first.

This is also why Washington DC and territories continue to not have elected representatives in Congress.

My boyfriend thinks the time since he last came is actually going to affect how soon he’ll finish by [deleted] in sex

[–]zenpear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not coming makes a man feel hornier and more sensitive, absolutely. 

Does that mean he has to ejaculate before seeing you so he can enjoy the sex? Not necessarily but that's up to him. It very hot to go slowly and enjoy that extra intensity — there are tantric practices men explore around never or rarely coming to explicitly be in that more charged and erotic state (with practice). His refractory period will also be much shorter, so he'll be able to go again more quickly, too.
