This post is nothing but weird sex poo poo, you have been warned



When I first started watching porn, I was just a horny teenager, and all the pretty "teens getting railed" were roughly my age and everything was great. Now I'm almost 26 and I feel slightly weird I'm still watching the same type of porn vids. One one hand, I know I shouldn't be jerking it to college kids since I'm so much older and they prob can't even drink yet. OTOH, I don't actually feel 26 as I'm still in college (yay grad school) and the models have had way more sex and relationships than I do (yay I'm a virgin). So gotta keep jerking it to college orgies or something.

I'm probably still a virgin because I'm a tremendous coward in just about everything I do, including talking to people. As such, my overwhelming fantasy right now is to have an amazonian beauty (tall, jacked, great abs, etc) throw me on a bed and just ravish me. Like those bad rom-com fantasies, but the dude is the submissive one instead. I have no idea how to bring this up to anybody as its very creepy in normal conversation and I'm also a yuge coward.

I also started researching how to improve my semen quantity for some inconceivable reason. Step 1 is to hydrate myself properly as semen is mostly water. Great. Next is a supplement cocktail of zinc, pygeum, and some other stuff. I havent't started yet because I want to do more research on ingesting large amounts of supplements. In the chance a woman actually wants to sleep with me, in semen quantity a thing that matters and is impressive? It would show someone I'm really attracted to them? I dunno.


porn

You're overthinking it

basically to all of this

Watch whatever porn you want, literally the point of porn is for you to just indulge yourself without worrying about what people might think of it. Plenty of people are actively repelled by whatever they just finished masturbating to after they finish, and "I'm now 5 or 6 years older than these girls :ohdear:" is a pretty small thing to concern yourself with.

You don't have to fulfill your greatest fantasy every time you have sex, your greatest fantasy will change often, and you can do a pretty good approximation of whatever it is via roleplay with whoever you're seeing, if they're into it. If not, porn.

If you want to increase your semen volume for your own sake, go for it I guess? Don't worry about what it signals to a sexual partner, though, because I can't really imagine a scenario in which it matters unless they're really into cumshots or something (to my knowledge I have never met a woman who is) and in many scenarios they won't even notice

quote:

My first experience with therapy was when I was around 10, after my parents' divorce. I hated it. In a group session or alone, I refused to say anything. My mom made me keep going because she said I needed to deal with my feelings. I hated it more each time. I would sit silent and unmoving. I hated the therapist. She became the enemy. I made it my goal to never give in to her, and I never did. To this day I have an automatic negative reaction to anyone with the same name.

So you could say things did not start well.

The only other two times in my life that I tried therapy were voluntary. I was trying to deal with depression and suicidal problems that went from my teens to my late 20s. Once in college, and again after my mother died. I told both about that early experience, and I tried to be totally open instead. Neither went well, for different reasons. But somehow I got past everything and I haven't considered suicide in almost a decade. Life is pretty good these days. Maybe I just grew up?

I know I still have brain problems. I don't know what they all are. My regular doctor has me on medication for anxiety, which helps some. But I know there's more. I drink too much for one. (No 12-step programs please.)

This is a :words: way to say that I know the thread advice is get therapy, but what if you don't have good experience with it? How do you get your brain meats evaluated and treated?

I mean, not every therapist and therapy method is the same, and plenty of people just have a bad rapport with an individual therapist and have to find a new one :shrug:

Medication has its place as well, but it can't solve everything -- for a very relevant example, you can't medicate away a drinking problem.

I'd never heard of it, but it seems like a cool idea (basically it makes you have a bad reaction to alcohol, preventing you from drinking)

It is just treating a symptom rather than addressing the core issue IMO but there are plenty of less-destructive things to fill the void with than booze so I pronounce it "better than nothing"

To the guy with bad experiences with therapists:

Choosing a therapist is loving hard. How can you know if someone is ok for you? How to know when to stand up to someone, when the whole point is that you put yourself in an enormously vulnerable situation in front of them?

In my experience, nothing sours someone on the idea of therapy more than making it mandatory. My dad forced me to go when I was in my early teens because I didn't like doing homework and chores. Like who the gently caress does? She was a lovely therapist imo too, and just randomly decided to throw Prozac at me for no real reason.

Second time I was forced into therapy was when my parents divorced and I decided I would rather not have contact with my dad because he was an rear end in a top hat. Instead of letting me have my say in the court because I was a minor, they just ordered my mom to send me to a therapist.

I wish I could say there was a happy ending or some kind of moral to this story, but there isn't. I'm all for people getting therapy they need, but you really can't force someone to go. :shrug:

I had an appointment with my therapist today.
He's a former alcoholic and heroin addict, and a life-long sufferer of depression, anxiety, and OCD.
So when he recognized right away that I wasn't in the mood to talk with anyone, he understood.
He gets it. He's been there.
He's the kind of person who found their true calling in life.

Entirely this. I spent a good chunk of my childhood in therapists'/psychiatrists' offices because my mother decided that I was depressed and needed therapy. After basically cutting off therapy dead on my 18th birthday (and quitting the giant cocktail of meds I was on cold turkey, which was miserable), it took me until I was almost 30 to admit that I really needed to deal with my poo poo.

I've been back in therapy for four years with a therapist who is willing to work with my fears and anxieties, and seeing a psychiatrist to help fix my hosed-up brain chemistry. I don't think I would have gone to see them if I'd been 'forced' at any point in the process, but now that I am I can see how much I really needed to do this and how much progress I've made.

Therapy goon, feel free to message me if you want to share more of your experiences. Maybe we can make a step toward unfucking your brain meats.

I lived in an apartment in nearby city for a few years. The trees lining the sidewalks and the bushes filling the road medians hated that they couldn't breathe because of the cars constantly driving by.
I inherited the house I now live in from my uncle, and since I can't hold down a job, it seemed like a dream come true.
I don't really dislike plants, what I said was out of frustration at the uninterrupted noises they relay into my head.

I said that bushes despise hikers eating their berries. Other mammals (and birds) are fine by them, because they know that wild animals travel and defecate in soil, thus spreading their seeds and allowing their offspring to grow.
Humans do not, and they know it.

Honestly this one has some pretty funny worldbuilding details, like dandelions loving death and rhododendrons being loving prudes

Still not clear on how the plants can sense your presence but you can't communicate with them, like, invent a code or something
