Lipstick/R45, thank you for the hype and for the vote of confidence. TNo offense taken whatsoever! Truthfully, you're one of my favourite posters on DL, and not merely out of Y chromosomal solidarity--what you have to say almost always strikes me as interesting, pertinent, smart and incisive. You are so straightforward and straight-talking, it's refreshing. I always find myself wanting to hear more of your takes and tales. So coming from you, your comment is high praise indeed! I am humbled and flattered.
[quote] This 'man' crap. I think that when you finally get a taste of it, you'll be either severely disappointed or left feeling absolutely numb - sincerely, I hope it's either one or the other, or maybe you simply won't like it. You've already understood and worked out too much, too far, to end up falling in / falling for the 'sex' trap. Especially if, by chance, you already have something to compare it to (women) when it happens, if it ever does.
Now I'm thinking of the game Mousetrap lol. You paint a specific and damning picture--if it's not an intrusive question, do you speak from experience with sleeping with men?
In all seriousness, though, this is something I'm intrigued to know about myself but also scared to discover. It's probably unusual and a bit deranged, but in a way I'm a heterophobic--I don't like that I'm in any way attracted to men, and I feel uncomfortable with the physical sensation of lust toward them (that is definitely and sadly there), because tbh I don't get along with straight men socially that well and find them annoying and rude at best. Even if I do end up fucking one or a few or several, I am dead set against cohabiting with one or marrying one, it's not happening ever. I watched my mother and my aunts and my cousins' girlfriends all make that mistake.
It's why I identify as febfem and sometimes even call myself lesbian as shorthand when it's easier or I'm dealing with straight people (I'm a goldstar and a virgin, so it's not...exactly a total lie?). The only men I'm attracted to are unavailable to me anyway, and there's probably a reason for that.
If I can have my druthers, my first time shall be with another woman. Imo, in most cases (but not all, obviously) women who prioritise other women sexually seem healthier and happier to me. Of course, life rarely works out exactly how we plan or wish, so I've come to a place of acceptance and openness to whatever comes (if it comes), while also keeping up safety guards and the like. Another irritating thing about me is that my desire nature and emotional nature conflict--the kind of sex I want (vigorous, fun, detached) isn't in line with what I want from emotional or physical intimacy, so idk how that plays out. One thing about females is that we are wired in a complicated way...
[quote] It's not enough, even - or especially - physically. In any case, there's no such thing as 'hot sex' with a man for a woman with your kind of brains, and who is attracted to other women to boot; not really.
Well, there's a good chance you're right, though...you're a little biased, you have to admit ;) I'd be honoured to earn my wings, though!
Do you really believe that women have to be limited to fuck men, though? And do you really think the mind always comes so much into it, re. sex? Genuine question, no snark! I ask mainly as overthinking has been the bane of my life in many ways, and my hope is/was that sex would be one area I wouldn't really have to engage with all that, for once Perhaps it's true what DL says, though--wherever you go, there you are.
