Yeah, I'm from hippie California and even we had a bunch of sex-negative messages sprinkled in, but at least they promoted condom use. I can only imagine what a poo poo-show the red states have for sex-ed.

Jesus cries when you masturbate because the last time he tried rubbing one out he slipped and it went through the hole in his palm.

What else could it be? Like physiologically, there's nothing else there to mix it up with. Is it supposed to be some sort of mystery sex fluid that just materializes in some women with a launch vector from the urethra?

I don't understand the rationale for claiming it's anything else.

Bartholin's glands secretions is the usual non-pee hypothesis, and there may be some of that happening. In the pee.

On behalf of American males, I would like to say that at no point talking to any male about sex have any of them thought that pee comes out of the vagina, or not known what and where a clitoris was.

Eh. lovely sexual education is a universal thing. I am ashamed of how long it took me to figure out female anatomy.


Anyway. I do have a question to anyone else with experience with this. This girl I met that wanted ropeplay/bondage really really likes the whole pain/pleasure thing. To the point where i'm too uncomfortable to give her what she's asking for. I know I should talk to her, and I did. Told her straight out that I didn't want to hurt her and she told me I wasn't and she wanted me to be rougher with her. I mean I could probably overcome my discomfort, but should I?

Its too bad I don't have anyone to talk to irl about this and have to turn to the internets for advice.

If you're not into something, you shouldn't feel pressured into doing it. If it's something you're curious about, but you just have worries about hurting her too much, then continue with the discussions and work out safe words and hard limits and all that good stuff.

There's nothing wrong with having preferences, and although on the internet the interest in BDSM is over-represented (I find), that doesn't mean it's for everyone. Sex is meant to be fun, not a series of challenges to overcome (unless, of course, that's your thing!)

If you're prepared to experiment with it then set up safe words and discuss what she actually means by rougher then try some things out, checking in with her on what she likes/dislikes/wants more of. You'll need to learn how much force she likes and get comfortable giving it, and that will only come with practice. Don't go harder than you're comfortable with, get yourself used to it too. Communication is the key throughout this not just before/after.

The thing a lot of people forget about kink is that the big letter has the ability to negotiate limits and can use a safeword just as much as the little letter.

If this were told the other way around, the bottom would be concerned that their top wants to hit them harder but they're not comfortable with it. And I'm guessing the reaction would be more drastic than the responses you've gotten to your post since it basically means the top could be on the edge of physically abusing the bottom while the bottom feels obligated because they want to make their partner happy.

That said if your only concern is unintentionally hurting your partner, they seem to have assured you that you haven't and asked for more. If your real concern is you don't enjoy doing it or it makes you uncomfortable in a bad way, that's what you should be telling them.

So, I had this problem when I was getting into BDSM. What helped me the most was to not use the word "hurt", but use two words, "pain" and "harm". In everyday life, we roll these together, but you have to remember causing pain is not the same thing as causing damage or injury. It will take some time getting used to, you don't want to try too much too fast, but if you start simple and build from that, well, there's not really another way but that. You should also try it on yourself first if possible, like if you have a paddle, try whacking your thigh with it and get a feel for how much power is how much pain. And remember, you can also use a safeword to pause a scene if you become concerned and want to check in that you're not going too hard. That helped me a lot too, just getting that affirmation that you're not causing any harm to her. And let her know she may need to be patient at times, as you figure things out and go on your own erotic journey of discovery.

As to the question of should you, rather than how, I don't think you can learn to like BDSM without at least a seed or spark there, beyond light stuff like blindfolds and fuzzy cuffs. Sex needs to be enjoyable for you both, because even if you CAN get used to it, if it's never fun for you, it'll become a chore for you and dull for her, instead of a mutually exciting and fulfilling experience. I'm a little unsure from your post if you want to try but have reservations, or you flat out don't enjoy causing pain to someone who gets off on it. And that's fine, nothing is for everyone, but I'd do some introspection if you're not sure, and if you really don't want to do this, tell her straight up you don't want to, and she can do what she wants with that information. No one should feel pressured to do something in bed, even if it means things might not work out. Just being 100.

And as a practical aside, everyone goes for rope, but it's probably the hardest and most technical bondage material, and good bondage rope is either expensive or a pain in the rear end to make. I'd start with leather and chains, velcro straps, or bondage tape, they're much easier to use and get going with.


EDIT: about the pee coming from the vagina thing, maybe these guys think "vagina" means the whole general package, and not the fairly specific part that it is? I want to believe that, at least.

Oh absolutely. Like, we're not really taught the difference between vagina, labia, clitoris, vulva, etc. All of these are words that unless you try to learn, you just sort of lump them together under the heading of 'vagina' and move on with your day. That whole zone is all vagina unless you're a gynecologist.

Funny thing is, "vulva" is actually the appropriate word to lump all of those together, but typically "vagina" gets used instead.

In my experience it's a little of both. Guys don't know (haven't learned or haven't gone out of their way to find out) specific terms for various bits of female anatomy so it's all "vagina", AND they are unfamiliar with the location and appearance of the female urethra, AND/OR they assume that women, like men, have only one opening which doubles for sexual and excretory purposes. I have had guys straight-up ask me how many holes women have "down there".

I'd end the derail by asking a question but I don't have any right now. My sex life is pretty good.

WRT guys being bad at female anatomy, guys are terrible at anything anatomy related in general in my experience. The few times men seem to know parts is when it's related to body building (your average bro may, in fact, know a lot more about groups of muscles than your average woman), something referenced in porn, or something that can develop a tumor.

How many men know about the terms (let alone what they are) glans, epididymis, Cowper's gland, vas deferens, etc.? Now add in how complex female reproductive anatomy is in comparison to male on top of the complexities of female sexuality in the first place and it's a wonder women ever had orgasms before the Internet was created. I just treated the subject like I'm learning to play an instrument and it's worked out fine I think. It's not like girls give quizzes on whether she's pointing at her labia majora or labia minora before letting men go down on them.

Lastly, women can be really, really ignorant about their own anatomy. I heard a story at a hospital where a woman going into surgery was being asked what her procedure is supposed to be for treating (patient verbal confirmation one last time and such in cases of severe mix-ups) and she replied back "I have fireballs in my universe" when her problem was actually that she had fibroids in her uterus.

Also, many people are really, really bad at talking to their partners—and their doctors, too—about their bodies. I had a girlfriend who would go bright pink and practically shut down at the mention of a clitoris—let alone hers—and when you get that kind of thing, it becomes impossible to educate your partner on what you like and dislike. Conversely, my current partner is completely upfront about what she likes, knows her own anatomy, and the sex is great as a result.

Communication is, as always, key, but some people are functionally incapable of it. Because Reasons, probably. :rolleyes:

Yup, this is a sad side effect of living in a culture where we just don't talk about women's bodies. I work in obstetrics and I have so many patients who know essentially nothing about their bodies. Also I get to hear a lot of euphemisms in the office; "I have a weird feeling in my down-there" is a pretty common complaint.

Knots that don't self tighten can still be dangerous because some weight will get put on them, and it doesn't take much pressure if it's over a small area to be a problem.

I'll put a link to some free rope tutorials; these knots aren't hard to learn, and this way you can play as safe as possible. Plus they look all proper bondage-y.
