    Do women really "have it easier"?

    I see all these ‘women can have sex and/or relationships anytime they want’ and wonder what the hell I’m doing wrong. This has not been my experience at all. My male partners have had more dates or partners than I do. They seem to find it easier to meet compatible people. My female partners...

    Mono metamour... struggling

    Consider putting off having him come visit you in person. Why? Because if he visits you, and there is any attraction, the rules she imposed are gonna get broken. You and he can have all the goodwill, good intentions in the world to honor those rules. But he’s there, you’re there, it’s romantic...

    New place stuff continues. I'm neck deep in the various paperwork stuff I have to do. There is so much! And because I am attempting to close the end of the month, everything is very rushed. Today I have to go print something out, fill it out and rush it over to a business so they can start doing...

    How many people in your household?

    Just me and two fur babies. It’s possible I may live with a partner again but just as likely I continue living alone.

    Thank you everyone for the well wishes! I am still really excited. I'm currently getting my loan application materials together. I continue to work on getting my current place ready to sell. Progress on both but it is exhausting. I never did move into my friend's place. However, I have her to...

    *internet hugs* (if you want them) You are doing what you have to. You deserve all the credit in the world for that.

    I liked the 2 bedroom place a lot so I put an offer in. And it was accepted! I’m moving!! If all goes well, I will be in my new place end of May. I’m very excited! And a little overwhelmed with what I have to get done in a month. I really feel like this is a new beginning for me. Squeee!!!

    The condo I put an offer in on weeks ago is back on the market! And more importantly, a two bedroom place in that building will go on the market soon. I'm going to go look at the two bedroom this week. I am so excited! Cross your fingers for me!

    Not a lot poly related going on. Looking for a new place. It’s frustrating as my area has really low inventory right now. There hasn’t been anything in my category at all for a few weeks now. Hoping that changes as we move fully into spring. I’ve made progress on getting my current place ready...

    so sad I've been PMing with Oak. He asked me how I wanted to interact if we were at the same event. (We are both active in a local kink community.) He also offered that I get 'things off my chest' to him about why I didn't want to be friends with him any longer. I don't have any need to do...

    The point of all this is never to prevent trafficking or protect anyone. It's to punish whores. Shutting down or hampering sites like this is to punish women (and queer people and people of color who make up many, maybe most, of the folks who do sex work) for having sex that is not for...

    I've been all about the real estate lately. I'm still looking for a new place and working to get my current place ready to sell. I've narrowed my search to condos. I did think about single family homes but it comes down to the fact that I do not want to do home maintenance anymore. I'm...

    The story of Spork.

    I'm sorry you have to deal with this. It's not fair at all. I believe you. You are not overreacting and you are not imaging things. Jersey guy is a predator. He might not seem like a typical idea of a predator. But he is an insidious one. He is putting you and your kink friends and...

    I put in an offer on a condo I liked in my city. Unfortunately I didn't get it. Someone else put in a full price offer. I don't think it is worth the price they asked for but, hey, if someone is willing to pay it. So that's a bummer. However, I'm trying to frame it as something else will come...

    MeeraReed, Tinwen, kdt, starlight1, Thank you for the kind thoughts and comments. They were heartening to read. I have access to a support group for people who have friends or family dealing with cancer. My therapist let me know about it. I haven't yet felt the need to go but I might at some...

    Naive question about sexual health and testing, from a former mono.

    You can get the HPV vaccine over age 27. Depending on your insurance, you may have to pay for it out of pocket. That's what I did (I got it at age 39). I'm really happy I did given that HPV is everywhere. (That's not sex-shamey by the way. It's relatively easy to transmit, can hang out in the...
