So last night me and my girlfriend slept together and when i went down there was an unusual smell, the smell was slightly fishy which was pretty noticeable but i continued and me and my gf enjoyed the night, but i am pretty stressed now as i've felt bad to tell my gf especially as she had a shower few hours prior to that, and wondering if that s a bad sign the smell? Im asking as i wanna know what can be the reasons because we are both pretty new to sex and i wanna be informed more on causes of it, and also how do i tell her to not seem rude about it aswell? Or do i just not tell her?

Thanks a lot sorry just bit worried due to being newish to it

Now obviously you're not going to be right 100% of the time but you will be right 20% of the time which will be quite impressive to the woman who is actually ovulating. Your thoughts?

Me and my best friend are really close. She's married and has 2 kids. She is 33 years old and i am 27 ..working in same department..We've managed to meet up physically twice so far. Both times there was a lot of romance and a strong connection, but whenever things started moving further, she'd stop me. She wouldn't even let me touch her below a certain point.

Once I asked her directly why, and she said:

"If we have sex, you'll drift away from me. And I really don't want that."

Hearing that left me with mixed feelings. On one hand, it felt nice that she values our bond that much. On the other, I'm confused about whether that reasoning is actually real, or just an excuse for something else.

Do you think her reasoning sounds genuine? Or could there be another reason she's not telling me?

I’m in a bit of a tough spot right now and could really use some perspective on my ethical responsibilities moving forward.

​I’m a 43-year-old guy, fairly attractive, successful, own my home, and generally have my life together. About nine months ago, a year-long relationship of mine came to a sudden end. From my perspective, it was a great relationship, and I fully intended to ask her to marry me someday. Then, out of nowhere, everything fell apart when she discovered a part of my past I hadn't shared.

​

​Thanks to some obsessive snooping by her ex-husband, word got back to her that I’d had a short fling (about a month or so) with a guy I met online years ago. It happened so long ago that I hardly ever think about it, but once she found out, it was all she could focus on.

​While I don't typically broadcast it, if anyone asks, I am openly bisexual. That said, I am not actively seeking men; I haven't been with a guy since last decade. However, this breakup has left me feeling like my potential dating pool is severely damaged.

​Not bringing it up worked perfectly fine for close to a year—until it suddenly didn't.

​I'm at a loss for how to handle this in future relationships and would appreciate some advice:

​Option 1: Complete upfront honesty. Do I disclose this as soon as I get to know someone?

​Option 2: Keep it private. Do I simply not bring it up, consider it my own private history, and hope for the best?

​Option 3: Accept a smaller dating pool. Is this just a reality I have to brace myself for?

​What am I supposed to do here? I don't want to spend the rest of my life alone and lonely. Any advice, insight, or outside perspective on how you would look at this situation would be greatly appreciated.

I watch movies like Endless love and other romantic movies and wish I was that guy. I don’t know what it is like to have a pretty girlfriend and wife. When a guy is in that situation how does he stay motivated in life and how to deal with the loneliness? I guess there are other guys that are in miserable marriages that wishes they were in my shoes. Just my thought for the day.

Hello. So I have been recently interested in my childhood friend of 10 years and the thing is, all my friends are women. All my mutuals on Instagram are women too. I would like to ask if that would be a problem? Because if I were in her position, I would think that the guy is a womanizer or think it is a red flag 😭

What advice would you give to a shy man? Assume he is in reasonable shape, has a steady job, has no criminal history, and could be anywhere from his 20s through his 50s. He is male, straight, but very shy - so shy it interferes with ability to meet women.

What advice would you give to him?

you see a guy at first and say meh 😒 or ughhhh 🤮 but then you guys get to know each other then his looks become "he's so handsome" 😍

I learned alot from you ladies and want to thank you for the information

I also asked claude to summarize the best topics for men learning about a womans wellbeing and how to take care of my future wifey the best and how to have a healthy relationship and be joyful

As a man I've always preferred the company of women. But it's hard to spend time with them without them thinking you're trying to sleep with them. Really just want to be friends and hang out. Any advice?

So I'm a 24 M and been with my girlfriend [F25], for a little over a year now. We've come a LONG way in our relationship and I'm so grateful for her. She had an incredibly abusive ex that verbally berated her in every way imaginable, mostly about her body and looks etc. Those insecurities are obviously hard to leave behind.

She shared a few months into our relationship that she has severe body dysmorphia and a lot of fears and insecurities when it comes to sex and her body. I've tried my very best to be excessively complimentary and positive but sometimes it feels like she thinks I'm laying it on thick or being disingenuous. I never say anything I don't 100% believe.

I'm just trying to be slow and patient with her because I know how badly she was hurt before and she's perfect in every way possible. I absolutely adore her and I wish she could see herself the way I see her. She won't allow lights on during sex and when it comes to *certain* acts, she always insists on giving rather than receiving. I've never wanted anything MORE in my life than to just eat her out and show her how into her I am but she has some serious trauma there specifically from her ex being awful and making horrible comments about her during that act. It makes me sad how so she's soooo cautious and nervous all the time. I want her to enjoy herself and to feel incredible, not so stressed out all the time.

She always insists that it's not me, that I'm the most attentive bf she's had, and that she's attracted to me but sometimes the anxiety can override that. I know usually to not take it personally but I just want to earn her trust.

What can I do to help build her self-esteem aside from being patient and continuing to reassure her?

Hi all
I just recently got a new gf and I don’t know why but I just haven’t been able to make her feel that good in bed. I’ve slept with quite a few people before her, and really never had any problems with that- but with her I can’t get her wet, and can’t make her that vocal.

I don’t know what’s wrong as we are both really attracted to each other and always get romantical, but I’m just really worried that this could damage a relationship.

Any feedback helps a lot

I would like to know what the girls think and how y’all act when you see a bald attractive guy?What’s criterion makes a bald guy attractive? 🙏🏻
