Well, I went jogging with that guy last night. He lives a block away from me, so we've gone jogging a couple of times together. No mention of the naked pic, and I didn't bother asking. I'm not particularly concerned right now; I'm trying to just take it easy. Romeo and I had a pretty good...

I think you've hit the nail on the head, nycindie (have I told you yet that I think you give very wise advice?). :o I think I'm just excited by the idea that I can pursue these things. But yeah... no need to burn through all of my guy friends by trying to see if there's something there. I need...

Hah! Too funny, you two. I'd definitely be more comfortable if it were a joke.

It's also kind of stupid on his part because he made it patently obvious that just happens to have a naked photo available on his cell phone. :p It wasn't like he went and took it "for me", he was at the party when he sent it, so I'm sure he's sent it to other people. Of course, there is also...

Study material for me (so I don't lose the links) Casual Sex - Discussion New awareness in sexuality I'm pretty sure this guy just wants to bang me. He's awfully charming, but his motives are totally out in the open now since he tried to send me that naked pic (I've chalked it up to two things...

Romeo and I went to a friend's birthday party last night. The friend I kissed the other night was there, so there were a few little flirty moments throughout the night. There was also another guy there, a friend of a friend, who I've always found fascinating. I'd talked to him recently about...

Oh my. Funny you should mention that, nycindie. I hung out with a friend of mine late last night, into the wee hours of the morning. Did not expect the kiss that transpired shortly before I left. It was nice, though. :o I'll not read too much into it. I think I put way too much of myself into...

I guess that could be, but I also think that this is a place where you can discuss these topics with people who have experience with them. In real life, if you don't know any poly people, you can't get that experience or acceptance. A conversation is preferably in terms of privacy - the words...

I think the rule is that you have 12 hours to edit a post. That would include the ability to delete it, although I don't know if actual deletion is permitted here (it isn't on another forum I'm on).

Isn't it weird how people can be so ready to engage in an affair, but freak out when it is legitimized by your approval? I don't really know how else to put that. I'm not thrilled with my choice of words, but I don't know what else to say. That was one thing my boyfriend and I discussed in the...

Yeah, I'm letting Romeo play it by ear as far as his crush goes. Right now it's just little signs of attraction, so he's not sure if it'll go anywhere or not. I'm just here offering support and encouragement. Break ups do suck... I'm not sure if this technically "counts" as a break up since we...

Oh, no. :( I'm so sorry it didn't go well.

I think that it's a dealbreaker for most people because it's supposed to be a dealbreaker. It's expected in our society that you pair off with someone, and live happily (or relatively contented, or at least hopefully not miserable, or not TOO miserable...) ever after. I think that for a lot of...

Actually I'm taking sociology right now, and in the context of sociology, the word deviance definitely applies to polyamorous relationships. However, it does tend to have a very negative connotation in everyday speech, which I think is what people are reacting to.

In other news, Romeo is really crushing on his crush right now. I need to pay attention to how I feel about that, which is kind of difficult in the wake of the whole Knight thing. He really wants to date her. He's getting some feedback from her that he thinks means she's into him, but he thinks...

Yeah... it would have felt a bit less unfair, I think, if I'd not found out on Facebook. You're right about the former ex. I've already extended the olive branch through Knight. Whether the message gets through, or whether it's well received is not up to me. I'll let it be. I don't know how...

I'm kinda bummed today. I feel like texting or calling Knight, but I'm not sure what the point would be. I'm disappointed it didn't work out, but I guess I'm not surprised, and even if he hadn't ended things, I think I would have. Things kind of quit "clicking" between us at some point between...

I think you're right about the tests not revealing recent infection, but I think we're fine. Unless Knight lied to me about his sexual history and habit of test results, though, we should be safe - Knight's and my test came back negative, and his previous tests (given his habit of testing every...

Sticky, messy sex is still the norm in most erotica, which is a lot of folks' first exposure to sex. Well, mine, anyway. 🤷 ETA: I think for myself, part of the reason I don't have condom usage drilled into my head is the way I was raised. I was homeschooled, so sex ed came from my mom and...

According to Planned Parenthood, the withdrawal method is comparable to condoms in terms of birth control. Obviously, it provides zero STD protection, but it is something. It worked fine for my partner and I for 5 years before I got my IUD, and it worked fine for a friend of mine for 8 years...
