That's what the, "friend" part of FWB is for. That's how we did it. My wife isn't demi, but she finds it hard (if not impossible) to get off with a stranger. It's an anxiety thing.

What we did is, we looked around for friends, people we liked and enjoyed being around. No pressure, just if it happened, it happened. And eventually we found people we vibed with.

I'm not saying it works for everyone, but with zero pressure on all sides, it did for us.

Yeah, it's been pretty great, frankly. I used to do a fair variety of drugs, nothing too serious, but she never did. She once asked me what mushrooms were like, and I was like, "Why not find out for yourself?" so I grew up a batch after a shit ton of trial and error, lol.

She's my best friend, but it takes so much work. Everybody scoffs at how often, "communication" is bandied about as the key to a relationship, but yeah, it's that.

It might not strike you as a, "toy" but the Liberator (or whatever knockoff works for ya) is an extremely useful object. Especially if you're into bondage, but just overall.

The small wedge is the most useful, since it lifts the hips up a bit, making things more uh...accessible, without strain.

You never know. My wife and I have been married for 20 years, and we get up to some wild shit. Just depends on the relationship. I wouldn't have thought we would even five years ago, but we have firm boundaries, and the timing was right to start branching out.

Might never happen. Might turn out that she takes mushrooms once and decides she wants to know what it's like. Happened to me, lol.

I think that was actually the point of that movie. Like the only time he actually tries to do any detective work, it turns out to just be a sketch of a dude with a comically large boner.

I kinda thought the disjointed nature was part of it, sending him through different social strata. Maybe I've watched it too many times while zooted, idk.

Same. I mean, it wasn't a bad movie, but I didn't walk out of the movie theater and think about it a lot after, either. Even though it's supposed to be a movie you think about. I like all sorts of foreign films, so it's not that.

Well, as long as it's not ridiculously contagious, we can have a little measles in our religious enclaves.

I gave up on Reddit a few months back, but to say that Lemmy is as simple and intuitive as reddit just isn't true. I only use Lemmy now, and it's not very convenient, but I get the highlights from the news, which is all I really wanted.
