Re: vent over the prevalence of creepy people online (tw)

user was not transfem, plus there were pages and pages of screenshots and archived webpages of this person running a website in which actual, self-admitted predators would be able to contact minors in addition to several admissions from the person in question talking about grooming and molesting the...

vent over the prevalence of creepy people online (tw)

so recently on tumblr a semi-famous user was outed as a pedophile and zoophile who was actively preying on real life children (including their niece) and had a website where people with abusive paraphilias (mostly pedophiles and zoophiles, but others along those lines too) could come together and pr...

Re: is it possible to have absolutely zero memory of abuse?

Hi Alriune Honestly, what you've said makes a lot of sense- I think you have a pretty coherent understanding of what might be influencing the anxious behavior you described in your first post. Given this, is there anything we could discuss that might help you? Therapy isn't necessarily for everyone...

question about sexual awakenings

it might be a bit odd to ask this when i'm 20 and this happened years ago as a teen, but it's kinda been in the back of my mind ever since one day when i was 16, just a week before my 17th birthday, i was the horniest i have ever been in my entire life. i was incredibly on edge and had to survive th...

Re: Coming of Age in Karhide: a short story I really didn't like

whenever authors use real or pseudo incest as a way to explore "forbidden love" it SERIOUSLY grinds my nerves since there are many other, much more creative ways you can explore that concept (romance between two people of different religions, or different races, you could even come up with...

possible hormonal problems?

i have a suspicion that some of the issues with my body, sexual and otherwise, may be contributed to by a possible unidentified hormonal problem. i've been talking to my therapist (who is getting her phd in sex therapy, though that's not the only reason i see her) and she definitely seems to think s...

dulled sensation?

by "willing to risk looking for them" i mean i don't know if i'm willing to risk a negative or humiliating experience while looking for a decent person.

Re: feeling sexually frustrated on my period [vent][tmi]

some of it might be familial, since my family just never discusses sex ever unless it's the punchline of a joke. some of it might be internalized messaging, but i'm not quite sure i think it mostly comes from feeling like my own body hates me. i've mentioned in other threads that there's a high like...

Re: feeling sexually frustrated on my period [vent][tmi]

So, if I'm hearing you right, it sounds like the resources that might be helpful are the ones geared towards giving people skills or exercises to either use along with therapy or as a means of looking after themselves when they can't or don't want to access it. pretty much! If that's the case, can ...

i know just from reading the title a lot of people are going to say "just have sex and if you can't do that then masturbate" but both are basically logistically impossible for me the reason why i can't have sex is because i'm currently out of town, so if i had an s/o i couldn't have sex wi...
