Me and my partner are looking to hit the road for a week at the end of May. I love parks but have only visited one national park, Glacier. We will be coming from Mpls, MN and I’m curious if anyone has some fun suggestions of destinations/route!

Key Points:
• I don’t want driving to really take up more than a full days worth of travel. We can take turns through the night

• We will have 2 dogs us, which a big part of me not wanting to drive too super far

• I love good scenery. Almost as cool for me as the destinations usually

Thanks for any tips or fun locations!

Has anyone else struggled with sex after settling down in an amazing relationship when you were once a rabid slut?

Background: Me(M26) and my bf(M29) have been together for a year and a half. Random hooking up on and off for a few years before we made it official. We are great together in almost every area, except sex….and it truly comes down to me.

When I am out of a relationship, I can basically get with anything that walks at a moments notice (not too picky😂). I’m into a lot of stuff but typically end up a little more dom when with a guy.

I legit CANNOT get myself to connect with my fun sex side when in a relationship after a couple months. Yea there’s childhood sa trauma and all that but i feel like i’ve processed and healed from that stuff. I cannot stay hard with my bf and it makes me feel like a piece of shit. I love him, I really do. And he’s very kind and never gets on me for it (my last ex did) and for that I am so grateful. But I want to pleasure him and every time I try, I end up soft.

Ex: I love being verbal, choking, and such but it’s so hard for me to picture doing that to him in bed, and then turning around and being lovey.

I realize I probably brought this on myself by being such a slut and always being “in control” of when I’m hooking up/what we’re getting into. Thinking about sex therapy.

Any ideas, similar experience and what helped, or advice?
