Confession Session II

Print Error

@Panda:

I actually read something a while back on a study that was done on that exact phenomena, which I thought was really quite interesting. It only involved a couple hundred people, I believe, so hardly incredibly rigorous or anything, but still pretty telling in its results. Basically, it found that people, when in a state of arousal, tend to be more likely to find any given thing 'hot', less likely to do various things to practice safe sex, and, perhaps most disturbingly, care (slightly) less about various ethical concerns.

Which I mean, on the whole, probably isn't exactly breaking news on any front. But I thought the fact that someone actually did a study of it was pretty neat, albeit somewhat amusing.

This thread right now is just…

Prismeru

Well, i might as well take this Opportunity. I've been reading this webcomic that reviews different sex toys. You guys should read it. It's pretty cool.

Can any dude honestly say that they enjoy the feeling of a condom?

Like the safety angle i understand, and am in favour of. But it's easily the least pleasurable option

ShinigamiKing

@MetaMario:

…How often do you get praised?

It can be anything. It can be someone laughing at my jokes, my parents saying good job on a test, etc.

Is it that noticeable while in the middle of actual sex? You know, assuming no weird textures or flavors or whatever else they put on them.

Wasn't aware the whole condom thing was so complicated.

Also, I'm definitely jotting this down as best off topic moment 2014. Meta blushes, epoida just can't, panda breaks everything with sarcasm and I'm learning about condoms. It's like the AP experience rolled into a couple pages.

Prismeru

The condom experience depends a little on the lubrication of your partner. At least from what….well, the orifices i've been in i guess? xDDD I used to have a relationship with someone that used to lubricate a lot so the condom wasn't that much of a hassle in my penis. Maybe it's because i use them a lot? Apart from the head twirl the condom is my to-go anti conceptive.

@Noqanky:

It takes away alot of it. I mean the wetness, the direct contact, the skin against skin friction.

It's not a complete bust, but it's more like a 6/10 compared to the real deal.

This is making me feel so terribly naive XD

Prismeru

Hahahaha, Wow. I love this thread I might as well give the advice of "use two condoms" is dangerous. They can create friction between each other and break. Well, that's what professionals told me that. Maybe i'm wrong? Can someone confirm this? xD

valiantt

Condoms are great. After all, they prevent the most insidious STD of them all.

!

! but seriously, use a freaking condom for chrissakes.

Purple Hermit

Double protection is best if possible, but, eh, I'm not the one in charge of putting people on leashes for this.

It seems a lot of guys just don't really want to use condoms. Science needs to hurry up with a safe, least invasive, and reversible birth control for women or men (aside from vasectomies, though many have had them successfully reversed). I really do not want to take synthetic hormones, I don't want to throw my body any more out of whack than it normally is and I already take too much medicine. In my opinion from all that I've read, it's not that safe in the long long long haul. It seems the copper IUD is the best choice but there's still a toxicity risk >__> Though apparently those can be a bitch if you've never given birth before.

Though I don't know, I could be of the mindset that condoms are mandatory until marriage-level anyway :P I'M NOT STOPPING MY BABY MAKING PROCESSES UNTIL YOU PROVE YOU LOVE ME D:<

Condoms seem to be a necessary evil unless you want to go on the pill or get an IUD before/unless your partner is not interested in making babies and would go through with a more permanent solution. I can see where guys are coming from, but they're not having to ingest a chemical that affects their biological functions.

Though to clarify I am all for oral contraceptives and I want them to be available to anyone that wants to use them because that is currently the best way to responsibly not make babies, I just don't want to take them myself.

@Purple:

That sounds like some really unpleasant smokes, but who am I to judge

XDDD Seriously. I'm not going out and buying condoms so I really don't know what any are like except some are ribbed, some are flavored, some are XL :P shit like that. I try not to look at them when I walk down that aisle. #supervirgin

@ShinigamiKing:

I don't get why I react negatively to praise at times. Even if someone is laughing at my jokes, I don't feel good, and I know it won't feel good as I'm telling the joke.

I.. don't really react that well to it easier. I try not to be negative, but I politely brush things off. It doesn't feel good to be complimented on small things, which makes me feel even more terrible DX

Mostly because I can't tell most of the time when people are being polite or if they really really mean it. I should trust my friends telling me things over and over might be true. I try to find things to compliment people on and I mean it XD but I guess until I fill that void of I want someone whom I admire to truly admire me back, then I probably will always feel weird. The only ones I really care to hear are that my hair looks good and cute, because I worried so much about cutting it off and it looking terrible but I've mostly gotten overwhelmingly positive feedback.

wolfwood

XL condoms always seemed like more of a vanity thing to me. Like yup i use the big boy condoms

I mean in actual numbers they aren't even that much larger than normal condoms.

And given how much they stretch most everybody, no matter how large, could use a regular condom.

A couple of guys have told me before that, while they're usually too large, condoms that are too small are even more uncomfortable. Not all dicks are created equal in shape and width, I suppose :P

Switching over to only anal sex would probably work too.

Noqanky

@wolfwood:

Actually, I've read of cases in which somehow some of it still gets in the uterus and makes babies happen. I don't know how though, I usually stop reading that sort of info at the details.

valiantt

Just a heads up…probably would be ideal to still use a condom with anal sex. Less so for contraceptive reasons but for STDs of course. Yum

I imagine shape has a much larger role in it.

Like some dude with a cone shaped dong is probably going to keep having that condom slip and slide up

Noqanky

Whoa, they come in cones?

The chances of this happening are very slim and it involves the guy ejaculating on the outer regions of the woman's body during anal sex.

Edit: This would explain it better but I doubt you'd read it since you said you didn't like the details.

99.9% according to Michael Crichton

Sorry, had to make that awful joke.

Also, when they talk about penis shapes is not totally a cone one (Well,haven't seen one like that). It's more like a curvature that varies. Some guys don't have it, some do. Some people say the curved ones are better for sex but i really don't know about it.

Actually I have A LOT of friends/family ladies who take the pills for health reasons. Those tiny fuckers can fix your period problems just like that

When I was taking them (before I got the Implant) my period pains nearly disappeared. And I am talking about the kind of pains that reduce you to a whimpering mess on the bed. I was always unable to walk on the first day of my period. shudders Now it's much much smoother and the pains aren't bad enough to make me cry like before. Plus it's so easy to change your cycle around how you please with them if you take them smartly. They give you quite the control over that bitch! If the pills I take were cheap in the USA (instead of like 70 dollars (my brand was that much ;-; ) + Dr's prescription when in Cyprus you can get them for 10 euro with no prescription and in the UK you get them for free…) I'd have stuck with them instead of opting for the implant which comes out cheaper. I am not a pill person either btw. I rarely take medicine in general so you can understand how impressed I was with the pills if I was willing to get them. :U

Personally I hated it when we tried using condoms. 0/10 The lubrication was not an issue at all and we even had extra around just in case. The experience just was unsatisfying and boring :C We tried with different brands, different types etc but nothing really impressed us or felt close to what it feels like without a condom.

Taken to its extreme, it could lead to the science fiction nightmare of a female-dominated society where men have little or no role.

Ohhhh, we're not needed to fertilize an egg anymore and all of a sudden we have no role in society? What are we? Walking bags of sperm!? :/

Err… not that I don't find this conversation hilarious or anything, but this is probably taking it a bit too far from topic. We should probably reel it back in at this point.

Prismeru

Purple Hermit is right. We should put our genitals away and go back to the confessions. Maybe we can do another thread called "AP talks genitals?" or maybe one with a social conscience that is called objetification/Sexu..WAIT, FUCK.

A lot of people say they have an easier time interacting over the Internet, but it's the exact opposite for me. It's just words on a computer screen..there's no tone of voice, no facial expressions…for me, unless I'm talking with a real life friend whose voice and expressions I can imagine pretty well, it feels mechanical and incomplete.

Maybe it's an introversion/extroversion difference. A majority of people who use Internet forums seem to be introverted, but I'm slightly more extroverted than introverted.

I can read and comprehend what's being said, but if there are scenes that are supposed to be dramatic or emotional, I don't feel it. Even in those moments and scenes, the voices I read the dialogue in have no passion behind them. At best, it sounds like a really bad actor with a monotone voice desperately trying to be as invested in the situation as their character is, but only being 15-25% there.

I don't have this problem IRL where I can hear voices and see faces. Only when I read words. I'm almost always enthusiastic IRL. My senior year of high school I was voted "Most likely to make someone smile."

A lot of people argue with you because of how you post. I imagine they feel aggression and sarcasm from you. But to my reading voice, you just sound bored and half-asleep. If I could see the movements of your face and lips, feeling the words being emitted from your mouth and entering into my ears, it would be different.

Despite the arguments and drama that goes on here sometimes, I'm really happy to have joined this online community back in August. It's been a real pleasure visiting this site quite regularly, and getting to know some really great people here. There's more I'd like to say, but I'm not quite sure how to say it all.

I find it easier to type than talk, honestly. It is pretty impersonal, and I think it's really messed up my verbal communication. Something is going on, I'm suddenly jumbling up words like i'm dyslexic and I've never done that before in my life, and sometimes I just can't get the words out. It's kinda scary, but if anything is wrong that brain MRI I just did the other day will probably tell me something XD

Though don't get me wrong, it's fun to hang out with friends in person. I should prefer that more, and I like it in small spurts. I just tend to tire of people really quickly. Not everyone, but most people.

What's REALLY bad though is I've got an online friend that I've known for 11 years now, we have each others phone numbers and text daily, but we've never actually spoken words to each other XDD I think we're both equally weird. The more I think about it, that's really fucking weird.
