ConTuesday! Chat-happy, checking out, and… chicken soup.
ConTuesday is upon us. I’m feeling really chatty today, so I’m going to (perhaps annoyingly) comment on every single confession I’m posting. As someone who cares about my readers and wants to make sweet, sweet love to most of you (not in a creepy way, I swear!), I care what you think. If my personal notes detract from ConTuesday confessions, feel free to comment or send me anonymous feedback on (oh, here’s an idea!) this anonymous form. However, you should know that I can’t possibly be arsed to care what you think about my extensive use of parentheses.
I hate it when I catch my boyfriend checking out other women. When I’m with him and see a guy who catched my eye, I’ve very discreet if I sneak a look, and I’d like him to use the same discretion. It seems stupid, because we both do it, and it’s utterly harmless when I check out another man. I know it’s harmless when he checks out another woman. And why pretend that we’re not doing something we both know that we both do? But I still hate it when I catch him doing it when he’s with me.
I think a major relationship perk of being bi is that I tend to check out chicks with my boyfriends and it’s really fun and bonding. This isn’t advice or anything, just a personal note (see above).
I wish one of my friends would dump his fiance. Mostly because she does shit like get drunk and tell him he’s not good enough for her, but partly because I miss the FWB situation we used to have. I keep thinking about him bending me over the arm of the couch and fucking me until my legs gave out. But mostly, it’s the thing about his fiance being a total bitch. Really.
I’ve been in the position where I’ve felt a friend was making horrible relationship decisions. I’ve also been the one making horrible relationship decisions. While I’ve never had it complicated by mad lust, I imagine that makes it roughly 500 times more frustrating. Why, oh why is it never appropriate to say, “Hey buddy, you’re with an abusive/evil/annoying/incompatible/etc. dead-end. It’s time to go back to the drawing board and also, unrelatedly, bend me over this couch.”?
A few weeks ago I decided to purchase a sex toy (two actually) as a surprise for my wife. I thought she would find it exciting. Was I ever wrong! As for now she is not open to the idea. She asked me a few questions. 1. Are YOU not happy with our sex life? Yes. I am. 2. Do I have, or have I ever had, any problem reaching orgasm? No. You have not. 3. Do I not immensely enjoy our sex? Yes. You do. 4. Then WHY bring home a couple of sex toys?! I was crushed. I also immediately felt stupid for not speaking with her about bringing home a foreign object I intended to place inside her most private of parts. After giving it some consideration, I realized that I had just received an amazing compliment. My wife is very satisfied with our lovemaking. She demonstrated that enjoyment again last night. Mind-blowing to be sure! I haven’t tossed out the toys. Hopefully one day we will be able to use them. If not, I’ll keep on enjoying our great relationship, both in and out of bed!
Sex toys aren’t for everyone. I have a dream where an amazing sex life is, though. Glad you guys found it!
My cum tastes good to me. I’m not sure if it’s the same as not able to smell yourself when you stink, but I like it. The weird thing is I’m a little proud of this.
Dude, own it. Apropos of little, sometimes my sweat smells like chicken soup. FOR THE SOUL. Okay, not for the soul.
Please comment! We’re here mainly to read you.
Friends (with or without previous benefits) can totally say “I really have my doubts about your new partner. And if you don’t want to hear about it for me again, then you won’t. I mean, shit, I hope I’m wrong, yknow? If you want this relationship to work, you totally have my support. But as your friend I’m just asking you to do a gut check about whether this is really good for you.”
And former FWBs have every right to say “You know, I miss those evenings with you. I know you’re monogamous with your girlfriend now, but I just wanted to make it clear that if you’re ever available again, I haven’t forgotten how much fun we had.”
I guess saying both in one sitting does require a whole lot of charisma to pull off.
@Evan That should say “hear about it FROM me”, fwiw.
@Evan It’s like you’re coming at all this from a place of health and maturity or something. What kind of friends have you been fucking, buddy?
Just kidding. Great point. A lot of times, you can do that.
And then sometimes you’re just not sure exactly how to say “Hey, your new s/o is pure evil and she must secrete some kind of narcotic from her vag because otherwise you’d see it too…. and by the way will you please let me put your dick in my mouth again?”
Because that’s just not the kind of conversation that’s easy to have when they’re picking out china patterns, seems to me…
LabRat posted an interesting speculation that men and women are just really bad at detecting people of dubious character within their own gender.

Hey, I taste good to me! So what’s wrong with admitting it?
