This is a mess. Some of the choices read "click to type choice 3," there are options missing from other questions . . . you should have someone go over it.

That is a drastically terrible survey. So many leading answers and questions with implied correct answers that the author is obviously fishing for. I can't believe they got a professor to sign off on it in any way.

I was trying to say that I was upset my girlfriend went three years being squicked out, rather then being hung up on my own stuff.

Still, this is a pretty big communication oversight. Something you should probably talk about to avoid any more large surprises in the future.

As far as why guys aren't expected to go both ways, it's pretty simple. Attractiveness has nothing to do with how guys are cast for straight porn. Most of them are ugly as gently caress, but get gigs because they have a decent-looking dick and can keep it up on command.

There's a crossover between attractive hetero porn stars and gay porn roles, enough that 'gay for pay' is a thing in the industry for both genders.

And this is exactly what I thought. I went to my doctor after we started having sex, because there were other issues, and his response was that he would do exams and the like until there was something serious enough that a referral was needed.

It's not weird at all. They're actually suggested as a way to strengthen your pelvic muscles for slightly better erections, and to develop some conscious control to resist premature ejaculation or incontinence.

Wouldn't trauma shears be a tad overkill for velcro straps? I can't imagine a scenario where you can't immediately release someone who's velcro strapped down without shears.

Trauma shears are nice because they'll cut pretty much anything, and are very, very safe for cutting right against skin to get tightly wrapped things off right loving now if something goes wrong. They're not much more expensive than a pair of regular scissors, so they're nice to have around as a just in case.

So, Tuesday's Savage Love started with a diatribe against this: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-galactic-cap

It's a condom that just sticks to the head of your penis, to increase pleasure. The drawbacks are that it doesn't protect nearly as well against STDs (a LOT more skin-on-skin contact) and it's WAY more complicated to use than a normal condom (and probably will fail more often), therefore compromising the stated purposes of the condom.

So, a poll for the thread: what's your favorite condom? Guys, what brand strikes a good balance between pleasure and protection for you? Do different sizes of condoms actually matter? Do you notice when the condom comes off?

I'm with you on the Crowns. They work well, are tight without pinching so they feel fine, and come in bulk from Amazon for really good prices.

That sounds like precum. It's your bodies natural way of lubing up ready for some action.

Hydration will affect it, especially if you're very dehydrated. Other than that, nah, business as usual.

If you use anything like scarves, ties, rope, etc., make sure to have a pair of these handy in case things go south. I like these cuffs; they are easy to put on and take off, they're durable, and they're not too expensive. You could also check to see if you have a fetish group in your area, sometimes they have bondage workshops where they'll teach you how to do rope-tying.

Bondage tape is good for this too. It only sticks to itself, so it doesn't pull hair and skin like duct tape would. Get the trauma shears, though. If someone panics, or has a medical emergency, the very first thing you want is an easy and safe way to get them loose immediately.

Nope, that's really the long (hur) and short of it. It's not so much a problem in missionary because I actually like very light tapping on my cervix, but in any other position it's like a battering ram knocking on my hermetically sealed shame basket. It's gotten worse since I've lost a bunch of weight, too, because there's not as much padding so he goes deeper.

Instead of full on doggy, lean forward more. That way you can change the angle and control depth by how close you keep your thighs together, even if he is going to be an asshat with no self control.

I'm dating a girl right now and she's on birth control. She never misses a pill and is very adamant about staying on top of it. She says she's more worried about getting pregnant than I am. I always use the pull out method (I've tried different kind of condoms countless times and can't maintain an erection with them). She says that it would be fine to ejaculate in her and she's not worried about it. I've talked to a couple of friends and from their experiences they also back that statement up. That as long as the girl doesn't miss a pill, cream pie away.

Sex thread, input? Can I really trust birth control?

Just get yourself a cockring or something to keep you hard through those first few times with a condom and quit being a giant baby if you're still worried about it.

His viral load is actually why he's seeing his Dr tomorrow, he hasn't been on meds since his diagnosis a couple of years ago. He told me he didn't see the point in it, and apparently it's been a tough couple of years for him. Thankfully, he has decided he wants to be around for a long time and take care of himself, so his Dr is going to consider whatever AV meds are appropriate for where he's at right now.

As far as playing with others, I know the majority have been Grindr hookups. I know his profile doesn't disclose either way, and at least when we first hooked up, I never asked either. I've got mixed feelings on that, on all sides of the argument. But I do know he used protection when he plays, (as we have as well), and he never lied to me. But again, I didn't specifically ask, which gets into that horrid debate about what is socially and morally the right thing to do.

It was a long night, so I'm still getting answers, but he's been open to me this far. I know I'll be asking more over the next few days. Figures I finally find a great one, and it's got one of the trickiest strings attached to it that I could have imagined.

Jesus Christ sever.

Being HIV+ is not something that a good person lies about, even by omission, to people they're loving. Especially when they're not even being treated to reduce the chances of spreading it. The fact that you've slept with him several times, and know of multiple other partners, and just now found out means that this is not a person you can trust. Period. End of story. If he'll lie about this, what else will he lie about?

Get tested, repeatedly and religiously, and run the gently caress away.

My girlfriend hasn't had sex with any men before me and is super self-conscious about it. She wants me to point out ways that she can "improve" at it and I'm like, I don't think sex is a skill. I don't think you just get "better" at it. How do I explain that properly? Because "no, really, I don't think there's anything for you to do differently to 'improve' and also it's two-person thing. it's not something you're supposed to just worry about on your own" is met with "well, just think about it more and find something for me to do better".

Her stance is that to get better at something you have to think about what you did and how you could improve it. I think it seems like a weird way to approach sex but maybe I'm wrong? I think wanting to have more fun is a good thing, tbh, but I'm not convinced this is a good way to think about it. It just sounds odd to me.

Why no, you can never get better at satisfying your partner, as you are blessed at conception with a Sexual Prowess Stat that defines your sex skills irrevocably for life. Sounds like she wants you to reroll, you might need to :sever:.

Or switch to dudes, I hear they are currently theorizing that there are separate stats for the 'Cum Guzzling Cock Slut' minigame.

Definitely not for everyone, but maybe an open relationship? That happened with two friends of mine. One was bi/pan and the other was asexual. The bi person has explicit permission to sleep with other people, but no falling in love or dating. I haven't spoken to them in 6 months, but I don't think this could work long term.

That sounds like a special kind of hell, and the fastest recipe for resentment I can possibly think of.
