How can I learn to be expressive with my emotions?

That’s kind of a huge topic, but one piece of it is “learn to speak with intent”.

I know it’s cool to tell The Olds that communicating in more than ironic in-crowd gibberish and meme-speak is unnecessary, and if you have nothing particular or intimate to convey, that’s probably true.… Read the rest “How can I learn to be expressive with my emotions?”

Unfortunately, my boyfriend is upset because I never have orgasms during sex…

I’m 20 and I’ve only had 1 guy before him. I never had an orgasm with anyone and I don’t know why. I feel like he’s blaming me for it.

Barring some unusual malady or a bad interaction between your libido and your meds, the most likely reason you’re not cumming is that neither of you know what you’re doing.… Read the rest “Unfortunately, my boyfriend is upset because I never have orgasms during sex…”

Ally Sheedy

It feels unfair that I never give Ally Sheedy credit for being a part of many of the movies I loved as a kid. Perhaps it’s because she was seldom the centerpiece in a cast, or perhaps because I wouldn’t start appreciating her look for another ten years… whatever the case, I seldom think about her, and when I do, it’s solely related to The Breakfast Club.… Read the rest “Ally Sheedy”

The Real World Homecoming

So MTV has semi-accidentally made Important Television in the 21st century. I did not see that coming.

Just as the original 1992 installment should have been an escapist trifle about cute twentysomethings sharing a New York loft and fighting over who’s not doing dishes, the 2021 show should have been a relatively sedate circle-jerk of fiftysomethings —my generation is looking old as fuck, y’all— congratulating themselves for being pioneers and showing off their various personal achievements. … Read the rest “The Real World Homecoming”

Picked The Wrong Side

Don’t worry, princess… no one will miss you. You’re supposed to be backpacking across Europe before college, right? Only this way, you’re earning me money instead of bleeding me dry!

Oh, stop giving me that look! If you didn’t want to be sold to one of Daddy’s “business partners”, then maybe you shouldn’t have told your mother what Daddy was doing with the au pair in the basement.… Read the rest “Picked The Wrong Side”

Hi, this is the anon from a bit ago who asked how I could help my husband become more comfortable with my degradation kink!

I’m sure it won’t surprise you one bit to hear that you were right, I was the problem. After a mundane “life stuff” argument that got emotions running high, I took the opportunity to lay out just how pathetic and depraved I am.

Hi. My Daddy knows that male shouting is very scary & sometimes triggering for me…

…due to my past experiences of shouting leading to a beating. We have had this discussion previously as he has shouted at me twice previously. So last night he shouted at me (for the third time in our 2 year relationship), when I laughingly said no to turning on the lamp.
