Hello hi former phimosis-haver here and I did indeed get medically circumcised for it at the age of 13.

I do not recommend the several months of agonising recovery while your wang looks like raw beef.

Edit: and his gf can forget about sex for like three more months after the op, too, obvs.

they're already not having penetrative sex. she's probably gonna be okay waiting for three more months, but probably not with waiting forever. :\

sucks about the recovery on the surgery, though. oof.

tons of people struggle with monogamy also

the problem isn't the social structure of loving relationships and clamping down on those, but rather than most people have no idea what they want and just sort of mumble through life

people who really know what they want and what they're after either settle down into happy monogamy, or they join some discreet swinger's club or weird sex tryst group for grown ups who can handle weird loving relations without crying to reddit about how confused and emotional they got when they watched their wife suck another man's dick

I agree, it's people either not knowing what they want or not being ready for that kind of commitment. I'm just saying a vast majority of people are more suited to strict monogamy than anything else. I would also note that being capable of handling a threesome, open relationship or anything of the sort while maintaining any sort of long term partner doesn't make you more mature either, it's just different.

I'm going to live in a Southeast Asian country to find my next wife. Somewhere so far from American television or anything glamorizing infidelity. I should've seen the warning signs after picking up my ex's copy of Wicked. Just skimming through it I saw at least two scenes with infidelity with some kind of goblin or something.

I'm not serious about living in Southeast Asia but I don't know what to do as an alternative. I feel poisoned too. Anyway yeah I'm being serious and this isn't e/n. Sorry.

A bus is lol, it takes 2-3 hours to get anywhere because that's the state of public transport in most of America and you need to be at work in 30.

A taxi is also lol for that reason. An Uber might get you there but what you're gonna spend $10+ to work a shift that pays you $90 before taxes every time you have a rough night sleeping? Then you gotta pay to get home as well.

I dunno what people are talking about with regards to circumcision recovery.

I got medically circumcised for phimosis 2 years ago at the age of 19, and it took about a week for it to heal; about 2-3 weeks before all the stitches came out.

The whole process barely hurt at all, apart from morning wood being uncomfortable; and I'm not saying this to brag about my pain tolerance, I'm usually a massive wuss when it comes to pain.

lots of people take the bus, no matter how long it takes to get anywhere. sometimes you just gotta accept your commute to the other side of town is going to take two and a half hours.

i agree that it's not a very good option for anyone, though. we need a healthier work/life balance in this country, and a lot more emphasis on sleep.

All days are nights to see till I see thee; and nights bright days when dreams do show me thee.
Wanna read about a real winner?

[26, F] My fiancé [27, M] wants me to act whipped in front of his friends. I'm thinking about calling off the wedding.

quote:

I'll try to keep this short. I'm a single mother, had my son at 20 and met my current fiancé at 23 and we got engaged in December and planned a spring wedding for the end of this month.

So I am aware how most men feel about single moms, and my fiancé has been very good to both me and my son and I've been very appreciative of it. I have already taken a kind of wife like role for him. I cook for him a lot, I do his laundry, I keep his home clean, etc. That fact of that makes what he said to me even worse and more offensive to me.

Long story short, he asked me if we could have serious talk about things. I said of course and he said we needed this since we are going to be inviting his family and some of his friends up (he's from a town about 3 hours away) and it will be the first time some of them have met me. So he asked me if I know about how there is a stigma about guys who marry a single mother and raise her kid. I said no. He said that a lot of guys think guys who do that are pathetic and stuff and that some of his buddies had made some jokes about it with him. He said it was just light ribbing but it kind of bothered him. So I thought he just wanted support and I was going to try and give it to him but he told me it wasn't that. He wanted me to really act like he's the man of the house and the boss around his friends.

I didn't know exactly what he meant so I asked and he basically said if he tells me to do anything that he wants me to do it immediately. He then literally said he wants it to look like he keeps me on a tight leash.

I got really really offended and hurt when he said this and apparently he didn't expect it because he was saying he didn't see why it was such a big deal. I told him all the stuff I already do for him. We've lived together over a year and this man has literally not done any housework since. I take care of it all for him. I already treat him well and show him gratitude and my love for him. But because Incame with a son it's not enough. He also wants me to let him treat me like poo poo so he looks cool to his friends. And he wants to do it in the days leading up to our wedding no less. He had never made a big deal before about my son. They get along well and my son loves him and already thinks of him as his dad. So I have been crying and just feeling terrible the last few hours about this. I told my fiancé I would never act like that for his friends and that the fact that he even asked is the shittiest thing he's ever done to me.

Now I'm just not sure about everything. I am hoping you all can calm me down and tell me this is just some idiotic guy thing and not a big deal. I do love this man and my son loves him and I was so excited to be marrying him. I really don't want things to change but I think now I don't want it so soon. Like I can't see these guys so soon after this. Maybe a postponement? And for what it's worth my fiancé has apologized but it was mostly hair him rationalizing it to me.

TL;DR:
-I'm a single mother and engaged
my fiancé said he has a stigma because he's marry me and wants me to act whipped and obedient to him in front of his friends so he doesn't look bad.
I'm considering calling off or postponing at least the wedding.

Bro that's fine but it's different when you wake up and only have 30 mins to get to work. You can't just go "well I'm too tired to drive today, guess I'll take the bus" and show up 2 hours late to your shift with the excuse of "well I didn't sleep well so I took the bus instead of driving." That would get your rear end poo poo canned in most service jobs.

All I'm saying is that saying everyone who drives tired is the same as someone who drives drunk because the impairment exists and they should know better is great if you're well off but that doesn't mean squat to someone on the grind working 2 jobs who is basically always tired anyway. It's dumb to lump those people in with drunk drivers imo.

I foudn it, this is the story

This dude [29M] creeps me [23F] out but he hasn't specifically harmed me. Am I overreacting, and if not, how do I tell him to back off?

quote:

So a while ago I met this guy at my college dorm area. We chatted for a while. We bonded over being fellow oldies on campus and he told me he had a girlfriend, and then she called him and he put her on speakerphone (WTF in retrospect), but at the time I was thought that since he already had a girlfriend, we could just be friends and there would be no mixed signals or anything, which is good because I am 100% not interested in a relationship (am gay).

So we chatted a couple more times and then a few weeks back he runs into me at the cafeteria and asks if I want to go downtown to hang out. I say sure. We take the bus, chatting all the way there, and when we finally get there, he says that we are going to go to the dildo store. They were hosting an event at the dildo store which he called "a scene". In horror, I asked if this meant that strangers would be loving in front of us. He said, no, it would just be stuff like "'pick up that mail with your teeth' 'yes mistress', it'll be kinky". [Note: he assumed I was straight at the time and asked if I had a boyfriend, no idea why he thought I'd want to watch a "scene" involving two women.]

D/s stuff is completely repugnant to me and I would rather break a bone than even watch it, and I tell him so, and he tries to cajole me into it but I say no. Then we keep chatting because at the time I'm in a mindset that it's just a misunderstanding and I'm being unreasonable, and only after getting home do I realize that, I mean, who the hell just assumes someone else wants to go to the dildo store without even asking first? A part of me thinks it wasn't a mistake, and this was his idea of hitting on me.

At first I think all this is completely hilarious. Then I discover more things about this guy, mostly from Facebook and text messages, such as:

• He regularly posts angry political tirades, such as one which consisted of the words "gently caress THE POLICE gently caress THE POLICE gently caress THE POLICE" written 126 times.

• He is a brony.

• He wrote a thesis on bronyism.

• He made a tumblr, and printed out a bunch of fliers advertising his tumblr, and is posting them on bus stops around campus. Said fliers involve one of the MLP ponies displaying her butt in a sexual way.

• Apparently he has gotten in trouble for vandalizing campus aside from that, which he considers to be "censorship", which he foams at the mouth about.

• He once posted a piece of a paper he wrote, which was him reminiscing about Strawberry Shortcake, which said stuff like "I remember the sexualization of children", and to that end he added a helpful image of Deviant Art Strawberry Shortcake cheesecake in his assignment.

So, like... I don't know. I'm not really conveying this very well but I have such a bad feeling about this guy. I keep running into him, too.

Here is my problem: 1) he thinks he is my friend (or possibly more, based on this dildo affair) and sometimes tries to contact me. So far, I have ignored him. However,

2) I originally met him in the dorm common areas, and he is hanging around there all the time. "Ignoring him" mostly means being confined to my room and not meeting anybody for fear of running into him again.

So my dilemma is, do I politely tell this guy that I don't want to be his friend, and is it fair to even do that when he hasn't, like, done anything wrong, really? Am I overreacting or is he creepy?
