Whenever I hear these people accommodating their partners ridiculous fetishes I always wonder how much reciprocation they're getting in exchange, because it never seems to be considered. It's one thing if the guy had this extreme humiliation fetish and his girlfriend went along with it because he would give her really amazing back rubs on request. But these redditors always grossly overstate what their partner is doing for them and make it sound like it is much more of a dilemma than it is.

In return for putting up with his extreme humiliation fetish, the fiancee got to repeatedly have sex with someone else much more virile, competent, and well-adjusted than him

Yeah this is still a plus for humiliation fetish guy though.

Quid pro quo would be him doing something for her that she would enjoy that doesn't indirectly interact with his fetish so that it is clear he's doing it to meet her needs and not just because it's convenient for him.

I really think this 'I don't wanna teach a virgin' thing needs to stop. People have such a diverse variety of preferences that someone with multiple partners really doesn't have nearly as much experience as they might think they do. A virgin with good active listening skills is going to be a better lay than a selfish person with ten previous partners. The problem is if the virgin is terrible, it gets attributed to their lack of experience but if a non virgin is awful it gets treated like a fluke.

I think the reasons leading up to the persons virginity have a lot more relevance than their actual virginity.

Does watching porn teach you how to be good in bed? At all? Most of the postures are chosen for how they look on camera not how good they feel, and certainly not how good they feel for the lady. Even the orgasms in most :airquote: lesbian porn :airquote: look fake as hell.

Maybe a vintage stag film could be instructional, where some hairy people just have sex while bow chicka bow wow music plays, but a lot of modern porn is awful for teaching you how to sex.

I guess you'd have to be watching legit amateur stuff to get a more 'realistic' idea. But even then, it is all very subjective (maybe they're getting off because they know they're recording it/showing it to people, for example). I don't put intercourse in the same category as say playing an instrument or martial arts or something that requires a lot of practice and form to master. Honestly the best way to be good in bed is to just be a good listener; it doesn't really take any practical experience outside of that. For every terrible male virgin there are probably a hundred nonvirgins as bad if not worse because they built bad habits, act selfishly or assume they know what they're doing.

Also there is this rubber band effect that's happening where we went from people assuming sex will be amazing the first time to having a really low expectation to avoid getting disappointed. How about not assuming it will be either of the extremes and just don't over-think it? If a person's expectations are too high, then they get disappointed. If they assume it is going to be terrible, they're probably not going to try as hard. Communication is the best way to learn.

Sunk cost fallacy. You get so invested in trying to work things out, quitting at any point feels like all the years up to that point were a waste of time. A loveless marraige can also feel harder to justify to others vs a partner that is outwardly abusive, cheats, etc.

P much everybody goes to college in America these days, though. There is no way that kid is "too dumb" to go to college. He'd have a point if what he said was "going to college is a waste of time and lots and lots of money unless you go to a good school and pick your major well and get a scholarship, so let's choose your applications carefully" but that's not what he said.

I knew a girl whose dad was a major hard rear end about grades, she had a 4.0 in HS went to UC Irvine and graduated summa cum laude with a degree in sociology and did fuckall with it because she works in a call center. Apparently all their efforts were centered on "get good grades" vs "how can I market this into a fun and stable career" :negative:

Smartest guy I know ended up working at a call center. Took him like five years to get out of that poo poo

On the flip side, my wife did average in undergrad but got a solid job straight away because she spent years working toward that goal (and later went back for grad school and makes bank now). But maybe it's because she was the first in her family to go to college in the first place, and when you grow up seeing your parents treated like poo poo in their strawberry picking/toilet scrubbing jobs it sets a much higher standard.

People having issues with porn should be proportional to their sex life. I don't think it's unreasonable a woman be upset her boyfriend watches porn all the time but doesn't want to have sex much - it's not necessarily an insecurity on her part.

Having great in laws can be a big deal if your partner is close with their family. I think it's more likely (not guaranteed though) to have a good partner if their family is kind and respectful to you.

I am very lucky to have in laws that are 1000's times nicer than my friends' respective in laws and its a huge truckload of drama I don't have to deal with in my marriage

Depending on where they live, it might be a Fragile Masculinity thing. My husband and I live in the south and when we first started dating, we both had a clean record and massive 90s steel tanks of sedans and we'd drive them interchangeably depending who was the DD/who was more tired and men were astonished he "let" me drive his car while him driving mine was a matter of fact. Even nowadays, if we're riding with another couple, the man always drives even if it's his female partner's car unless they're super liberal types.

It's weird, I know.

Wow, I'm a guy and totally the opposite about this. I don't mind at all if my wife drives. She can be the DD all she wants.

Man, I don't think you grok "tiger" parents, which is how she described her own parents. It has been around forever as a parenting style but picked up its name from the Amy Chua book that came out like, five or six years ago, and made all sorts of parenting science types flip out. It's kind of interesting (but a little trite, and not super successful) as a philosophy, if you want to look it up.

I'd bet $1000 that this girl's parents are conservative and traditional Asians, upper-middle class professionals, and have every aspect of her life on lock because the expectations put on her are so insane. She probably does have a phone, but has been instructed to use it only to talk to her parents and teachers, and that's just How It Is.

Yeah that's what I assumed. And I don't think a kid like this is going to pull some huge 180 in college either, usually if things go bad it manifests in some kind of mental breakdown but not necessarily drug or sex binges.

Frankly if I were a parent having a secret Gameboy would be a much bigger relief than something like pregnancy, drug addiction, shoplifting, etc.

"Porn addiction" in American evangelist Christian parlance tends to mean "looks at porn" in any and every capacity. It's an addiction because you can't stop doing it, despite being shamed by your religion and peers, and not even your wife refusing to sleep with you has helped to break you from its steely grip. It has to be an addiction, you see, because you don't murder people or rob strangers purely due to the influence of G*D, and looking at porn is just as bad, as all sin is equal. Truly, only the Lord Jesus can save you now, sinner.

E: she's not mad about the lying, she's mad about the porn.

Eh, if people can get addicted to gambling or sex I can see porn addiction being a thing. Unless you think evangelists invented those two?

A lot of people will blame the woman for being dumb/prudish/insecure about porn as well, but some guys can just be pretty lovely about their porn watching habits. There's probably plenty of guys that watch a lot of porn and turn down sex with their wife which is not prudish to say is a problem.

I'm guessing the religious convert has previous hangups about sex she never told he bf about before. Converting means the things that make her feel guilty don't have to anymore and she can start fresh.

I've seen quite a few people treat being a born again Christian as some kind of get out of jail free card. They get to walk away from bad feelings or actions without having to put any effort in dealing with the actual problem.

I'm surprised she stayed with him honestly. If he wasn't willing to convert and she doesn't want to have sex anymore and hates his Christmas ornaments what's she getting out of it?

Those r/childfree posts are :psyduck:. I'm starting to think that some of them resent children solely because it brings to focus all the childish stuff they are into and embarrassing themselves by having to compete with literal children. Were they themselves filled with self loathing at being a child at one point in their own childhood?

The other half seem jealous of all the social advantages of being a parent but obviously don't want to put in the sacrifices and work that goes into it.

It's probably good most of those childfree people aren't going to have kids otherwise there'd be more of them.

And while most of their anecdotes are STDH I have witnessed situations where assholes tried to antagonize parents into getting hyper defensive about their kids, which more often than not backfires.

I work at a place where people not only have spouses that are their supervisors, but they cheat on said supervisor (often with other supervisors). If the supervisor makes any remotely passive aggressive behavior toward their (now ex) spouse the underling goes running to the union to file a grievance for workplace harassment. It's a lot of drama.
