TMI Vent
« on: May 26, 2011, 10:01:33 PM »
Maybe there's a better title.

It strikes me that a lot of the vents I would make are more properly sex or TMI vents, and maybe not appropriate for the general venting thread. But then the TMI thread doesn't quite seem like a good place to vent either.

So as an experiment, I'm starting a mashup thread.

My TMI vent: I think I just plain don't enjoy anal sex. It's not part of my fantasy life, and usually I have done it for the pleasure of my partner.

Now this has not always been so, but my libido is a weird and slippery creature. For example, right now I have no desire to touch or be touched, but am very wank-y lately.

I worry I'm putting my partner off, but I've been way too weenie to broach the subject. Besides, his libido is almost as weird as mine.

I've definitely found a need for this kind of thread, too, from time to time. So, I like the idea!

My TMI vent: Changing out the Diva Cup last period, I managed to pinch my vaginal entrance really hard with my fingernails. O_x And fingernails + girlybits == BAD.

That happened to me before Cyth. It sucked.

We ran out of toilet paper. I had to pee so I took a shower.

It occurs to me that I've never started and finished a box of condoms with the same girl...

... while this speaks volumes for the amount of sexual partners I've had, it does highlight exactly how spectacularly bad I am at the whole "keeping a relationship" thing.

I dunno. I feel like I have something to say here.

Body, making me hungry when I have diarrhea is just not playing cricket. Stop that. Immediately and forever.

....er, was it a 12-pack or a 36-pack? In either case you're either not running through that many or you're setting your bar a little higher than expected.

The worst pain ever...having a cyst on your girly bits, and trying to lance it so you can sit without crying. Why on earth does this have to happen to me now???

I am annoyed by my sexual history. As far back as I can remember, no matter how horny and aggressive a prospective partner claimed to be in conversation, once things got started, I have always been the one going in for a kiss, the one tugging at clothes, the one escalating passion in general.

I hate this.

I feel like I can't really know if anyone's ever actually wanted me, or if they just sort of... found me inoffensive enough to let me keep going.

I hate this so much.

Reason #137 why I often tire of being male. I know there are women that do this, but they are none of the ones I meet. I want to be kissed, grabbed at, undressed, and generally pursued. I want to feel someone's surprises. Even when I ask for it, and they say "yeah, that sounds like me," it never happens. Why is this so hard to find?

Cherries give me the worst gas in the universe. x_X

It isn't even so much that it stinks, just- the agonizing paaaaiiiiiin of cherry gas.... my stomach feels like it's tying itself into intricate sailor knots. Owwww.

I love cherries. :(

*sigh*  I don't know where this belongs.  Probably not here, but it feels too close to the bone for regular venting.

The longer Kyle and I are functionally monogamous (the only other person we're involved with is about 600km north, and has been gone since last August, damn you Klaus), the more lonely and isolated I feel.  I think I understand how an octopus might feel if it were sealed into a box.  Or better, Otto the goldfish in A Fish Out of Water.  I'm too big for my bowl, and all the pots in the kitchen, and maybe even the bathtub.

I love my spiky viking.  He's the foundation of my whole life, of whose remaining decades I plan to spend the entirety with him.  Admittedly, his social cluelessness makes having a social life, to say nothing of other relationships, awkward at times, but I've come to accept that, and I have to work around it on the long term (this is why Klaus is such a good partner for us -- he understands and accepts Kyle in a way nobody else does).  Ultimately, I think we're as solid as it gets.

But I need more, and clearly I've tapped out my existing social circles, and it's been so long since I've had to work at meeting anyone that I don't even remember how anymore.  I am (often literally) aching to find that connection.  I feel like I'm going to explode.  I was single for two years before I met Kyle, with only a couple of extremely brief, primarily physical entanglements, and it never felt like this.  I never felt lonely or isolated.

How the hell do people even meet people?  Clearly, my present social life (such as it is) isn't cutting it.  And it feels like it just might be killing me.

Amanda- amen. :(

For me, not about the romantic parts... but how do you MEET people?? How does one make friends? Work seems like a bad place to try to do it since I'm now management and not really supposed to befriend the people working under me- it's bad form, as it might seem like I was playing favorites. There's one or two people here that I wouldn't mind being friends with outside of work.

Other than that, I have friends in WoW and on here, but that's different from meat-space friends. I have a few last lingering friendships from school...

I was feeling much the same when I moved to Seattle.  The answer for me was joining groups likely to contain other people with similar interests.  I suspect that's a lot more feasible in a place like Seattle than in the Soo, though.  :-/

Beyond that, though, social groups seem to be sort of a bootstrapping process.  You need to start out with some people you know in the first place, and then you meet other people through them, and so on and so forth...
