Question for straight men

F18 here. Are the men here who consider themselves straight actually believe they’re 100% straight? Cuz most straight women I know wouldn’t label themselves as 100% straight if asked- most of them have even the slightest attraction to women. Do you guys ever find some men attractive as well? Like sexually? Romantically? Or is it strictly women

Dating profile advice?

So I‘m (f21) trying to kickstart my romantic relationships with Bumble after a long break from dating and I‘m rather lost. What kind of pictures and bios work best? How to not be imitating or on the other hand look too cute/childish? How would you like to be approached by text?

Thanks in advance :)

Bi Men

Do you openly tell women your Bi?? or Bi-Curious? As a woman, I’ve dated many bi men and it never bothered me as long as we had chemistry and the same goals. However, I really dislike when I tell men I’m a trans woman and they go “I’m Bi”. Like okay? How am I supposed to process said information, because I feel inferior and like if I were a Cis Woman you may have never bought up the topic. I guess it’s supposed to be “reassuring” that they’re not like “straight” men in the regards that they won’t shut me down or not date me because I’m trans. I get that. There are many Bi men who don’t date trans women as well. So I always get confused. I also feel like they get overly sexual once I tell them so in the end I do feel like they told me bc they don’t quite see me as a “woman” which can be jarring. (Im not looking for pity) I genuinely want to know if men tell women if they’re Bi or not and if you don’t tell them why?

Husband gets so negative because of his family how do I make him stop and be good to me?

I am writing this post on behalf of my sister (34F) who doesn’t have Reddit.

My husband (31M) and I(34F) got married back in April of last year. He lives in Pakistan and I live in the Uk he does not listen to me, he does tell me he loves me so much and cares about me and he wants me to visit him and I told him to send me the ticket so that I can go to him. It is customary in Pakistan for the man to pay for the wife’s ticket however he keeps making different excuses as to why he can’t buy the ticket for me like he doesn’t know how to buy it or he’s too busy he’s kept me hanging like for about 3 months.

He also one time forced me to leave my parents home by telling me to go to the police and that they would help me go to Pakistan. However they did not help and said that they can’t do this and so I returned home. My husband also keeps talking bad about my family and keeps being negative saying that they don’t want me to go to him but my family said I can go Pakistan as long as he sends the ticket. He keeps talking like this and saying he loves me so much. He sometimes tells me that his mother and brother are feeding negativity in his head. I know his family and they are definitely very negative but I don’t understand why he always listens to them. He also tells me that his family want him to divorce me but that he doesn’t want to leave me. When he gets angry with me he doesn’t video call or message me even when I want to talk to him. I know his family make him do this and have told him many times to stop listening to them and just listen to me because I am his wife. His family also talks bad about my family and he doesn’t stop them even though I have asked him many times to.

How do I make him listen? I have become so worried and stressed by his behaviour. I try all the time to make him happy but he never is. How do I make him a good husband? I’m scared of losing him.

My (26 F ) Boyfriend (30M) never initiates or wants sex.

My boyfriend and I have been together for four years. Our relationship is perfect other than the fact that he never initiates sex.

It has been going on for three out of the four years of our relationship. We live together, have open communication, he is my best friend but we have this problem.

At first it was because of the anti deppressants he was on… which he got off and eventually felt 10x better, then it was because he gained weight and had an alcohol problem , which he fixed , now its because he doesnt have time.

It does not matter what i say, or when i ask, how i phrase it , there is always an excuse or reason as to why hes not in the mood.

We have sat down many many times where i have opened up about how this is really destroying my confidence and how im going to leave, but he just breaks down and makes promises he never ends up keeping.

Its not a libido problem because he still masturbates all the time and we ocassionally have sex like maybe once a month sometimes twice if really lucky. but it feels so painful to be rejected constantly , theres also no inbetween.

We never have any spontaneous sexual encounters or do any other stuff. He is otherwise overly affectionate , hugging and kissing me all the time. but thats it.

I cant help but feel a bit crushed, at one point he even said to me “ he knows how i feel” because he had an ex that he wanted to have sex with more and she didnt… so it hurts to know that okay so it is possible for him to initiate and do it for her but not me. I cant help but feel really unattractive …

Ive wasted time even comparing myself to his ex but we are so different physically. Ive also noticed that before we started dating, he was seeing multiple other girls from the same race as his ex… which is not mine. so part of me feels like am i just not his type???

through out our 4 years ive mostly maintained my figure being size 8-10, ive become pretty successful in my career, i wear new clothes, get my nails done, switch my hairstyle up, i have hobbies , friendships …. im not even sure what attracts him to me? im definitely not unattractive, ive never had this problem with other boyfriends, i have men and women both approach me all the time, even on the street?! so i just dont get it.

He has promised to go see a psychologist , which still hasnt happend….

its kind of driving me insane, i feel like overly jealous, a little paranoid even that he might be cheating on me? , unattractive and kind of like im losing respect for myself in some ways because every time i decide to leave i end up staying after he breaks down crying and trying to do everything to make me stay.

I feel like im losing parts of myself and yea becomming a little paranoid about his phone use. he pretty much refuses to let me use his phone, swipes messages away all the time, sleeps with it under his pillow, never leaves it unattended, quickly puts it away when im around etc.. like he makes sure theres never a situation where i’ll be needing his phone.

I love him but what do you think is going on? could it be he isnt attracted to me? addicted to porn? cheating? what do u think?

My [M25] now ex-girlfriend [F28] broke up with me over an anonymous accusation

I woke up today to an insanely long message from my now-ex, accusing me of all kinds of things—cheating, deception, gaslighting, and even spell work (yes, really). She claims she got an anonymous call from someone who “revealed everything” about me, even though she just got a new number and barely anyone has it. She went on a rant about how I had multiple side pieces, manipulated her, controlled her free will, and was basically deceiving her the entire time. She ended by saying she’s blocking me, changing her locks, and threatening a protective order if I ever contact her again.

None of this is true. I never cheated, never lied, and all I did was go to work and come home. The fact that she believed this so quickly, without even questioning where it came from, makes no sense to me. I wanted to respond, calling out the inconsistencies, pointing out that none of my friends had her number, and saying that if she wanted to break up, she could’ve just said so instead of creating this whole dramatic story.

Now, I’m wondering—should I even bother trying to reach out to clear the air, or is this just a lost cause? It’s obvious she’s convinced herself of this, but I’m not sure if she’ll ever realize how ridiculous it sounds. Should I just let her believe what she wants and move on?

(long message is in comment section below this post if you’re curious) (as well as my potential reply)

Why was my male nurse so awkward?

F18 here. I just went to the doctor’s office and the nurse who took my blood pressure and weight seemed to be around my age. He was friendly and talkative with all the other patients but he said about 2 words to me and avoided eye contact. I don’t go out much so my social cues aren’t on point and I don’t understand why he was like that with me. I couldn’t tell if he was judging me or something but then again I don’t know why he would be. Anyone have an idea of why he was acting like that?

I need help with my crush 😭🙏

So... It's going to be long 😭... I'll try to make it as short as I can... I'm a 20 years old girl and I have a crush on 24 years old guy... He works at the grocery store, and I go there for a year now. In the second month I've noticed him acting kinda weird when he sees me like, double glancing, staring, following me around the store, smiling randomly, things falling out of his hands 😆 basically what people do when they like someone. He's really cute and funny 😭 after 2 months I started liking him back. I ran away from him most of the time because he looked so funny and cute and when I see him I just can't help but smile... I was embarrassed of my reactions so I was hiding all the time. I avoid the eye contact for a year now, sometimes I wait for the other cashiers to come when it's just him because I tremble and smile uncontrollably when I see him. Around the holidays we had a small talk for the first time, that's when he asked how old I am and when he told me how old is he. It went pretty well, but the next time he tried to talk to me I felt really shy that day... He said "How are you?" And I just said "Fine"... He looked really disappointed and discouraged... I cried on my way home because I couldn't ask him anything back or even look at him... I feel really sad because I can't show him that I like him 😭 I probably seem like I'm not interested at all... After that day, when I saw him next time he had a serious look on his face all the time. I felt even worse and I ran away even more. I remember trying to avoid meeting him while shopping and somehow he appeared 5 times in front of me, it's really big supermarket and I don't know how that happened, I was running on the other sides of the store just to avoid him. After I finished shopping he walked to the cashier and he was just standing next to her right in front of me. I felt him looking at me but I couldn't bring myself to look back... I felt so frustrated and sad... I feel like he's about to give up... So... I have a few questions... Am I making him feel bad?😭 And if yes how can I fix it? I'm really shy and I know that I should probably at least have some eye contact with him but I would probably start trembling or smiling uncontrollably or do something stupid... Like... I really need help 😭😭🙏🙏 what do I doo... And even if we talk... And somehow, he ask me for social media account... Well... I don't have any, just yt and reddit... Should I give him my WhatsApp instead? Would that be acceptable? I mean I feel like I ruined the chance for anything to happen but IF something happened... I'm not sure what should I do... I guess that I should offer him some alternative, just saying that I don't have any social media would probably sound like rejection?... But on the other hand offering my number instead might be creepy or something, I don't know... But like... For now... How do I show him that I like him back and seem more approachable? And like... Is it too late for me to try to look approachable? Is he acting like he lost the interest? I mean he's not smiling or trying to talk anymore...

Is what my husband said as bad as it sounds?

My husband said he thinks he’s a “good enough” husband. Yes, we were discussing our issues when he said this almost using it as a defense. Like doing just as much as necessary for me not to leave or something.

Men, if I think I deserve better than “good enough” am I taking this too personal or is it as bad as I think it sounds?

Edited to add answers to questions: I think the main topic that was surrounding this comment from him was because of his jobs/career over the past 13 years.

He has never had a direct career in mind and I’ve been okay with that since we dated. My issue is it seems he doesn’t want to work and has ideas of being an entrepreneur.

This has resulted in him buying and selling pallets of merch online (and possibly making a couple grand but over several months as his only income), talking about opening a furniture shop, spending $2k on home inspection class only to balk on taking the test for licensure a day after the class finished. The class was last February and that idea has been completely abandoned.

I guess I’m just asking for full time work with the option of benefits and something not seasonal or costs a lot of money upfront that is, to me, a risk. Growing a risky business as a side hustle until it can become the full time is what my hope and encouragement is. I see it similar to working full time and going to school simultaneously to earn a degree for something better.

I’ve been asking for a steady job from him for more than 2 years so if I am being unreasonable, let me have it in the comments lol. Thank you!

What to do

Aimed mainly at men! I’m 28f & single, I’ve had a child so my body has drastically changed, more so my boobs, I started as a C cup then during pregnancy I grew to a FF as a 5ft2, 9st size. Because I’ve had a son my boobs have shrunken, with that they’re large in a bra, but without it they hang so low, not only that they’re flat at the top also, there’s more skin at the top and hardly any skin showing under the nipple.

SO a friend and I have gotten to close, and we’ve developed feelings; though I called it off because the thought of me being naked gives me anxiety and I feel scared once I’m naked he won’t find me sexy/attractive which he says he does, but I can’t get over how my boobs look/hang, I feel disgusting and the look of me in the mirror almost depresses me, I called it off and cancelled moving forward with him because of this.

Is this an issue men look at or am I genuinely putting more stigma to it? Will he be disappointed and not find me sexually appealing? I can’t afford a breast lift.

My bf M24 has photos and other things around the house of his previous girlfriend who died while they were dating. Is this weird? Sometimes it makes me F26 uncomfortable

I can’t ask any of my friends about this because nobody really understands it unless they have gone through it. So I’m asking, if you and your partner has had a previous partner die on them, how do you handle it in your current relationship? In this case, my bf dated this girl, she died unexpectedly very young. It was 4 years ago. We’ve been dating for two years now. His dad died on the weekend so we were going through some old photos and keep sakes. He had letters from his dad and photos, and he also had photos of his gf who passed away. Now this isn’t new to me. I know he has photos on his phone still of her. Nothing weird! Regular photos of them. Or photos of her. But these ones were printed off and he kept them with, I would assume, very important sentimental things. So I saw the pictures last night. They were all ones I’ve seen on his phone. But there was one where they were in bed just lying there and it was just her lying next to him (in pajamas). I thought that one was a little uncomfortable. But I don’t know. I have no experience dealing with this! I have no idea the feelings he felt when this happened and some of the things he keeps, I don’t understand why he would keep it, but it’s not my grief. I just can’t ask him about this. I’ve talked to him plenty of times on the matter, we discuss things if I’m feeling weird about something and usually I’m very ok with the fact he still has love for her and had things he cherishes around the house from her. The photo in the bed just makes my head go crazy. Makes me wonder if there is other stuff I haven’t seen. There was a letter that we found, and he had written it to himself when his gf died but he didn’t want to show me that…so I want to know what it says. But that’s invasive. I can’t compete with a dead girl…but sometimes it feels like I am. He still wears one of her hair elastics as a bracelet, wears it everyday. He has other things of hers. The house isn’t covered with stuff from his past, he has things here and there. I just don’t know if this is normal. I need reassurance and I can’t ask him for it this time. I’m weirded out by some of the photos, and some other things but again, it’s not my grief!! Just makes me feel shitty. I think about the fact he doesn’t have printed out pictures of me around the house. He doesn’t take pretty photos of me like he did with her. But it’s different obviously. I just feel a bit…unimportant. I don’t know.

Please someone give me some insight!!!

Is there a reason why my ex has me added but says nothing?

I don't want to intrude or anything since I'm not a dude but I just can't wrap my head around his behavior?

About 4 years ago I was dating this guy we'll call Z. Z and I have dated 3 times and the last relationship ended in late 2022, and it been no contact since then. (For context we didn't end on a bad note or anything. Just good friends)

I know he has a habit of unfollowing/unfriending people he no longer talks to, so at some point in early 2023 he unfriended me. Some months after that he shows up in my requests again, so I add him to see if anythings wrong but... he just said nothing. The same thing happened a few months later and he's currently still on there but it's just silence. He doesn't talk to me at all, even though he very deliberately and obviously added me back. I sent a simple message saying "hey" one and he responded with a hi, but he didn't say anything after that

Like.. is there a reason for this? I'd have no clue. I genuinely want to know but we don't talk💀

Would you agree that some or most wealthy men are misogynistic?

Title. I do not mean viewing a women in a traditional manner, that is fine to me, I mean treating women as playthings, especially since the women may come from a lower socioeconomic status, so they cannot relate and there is that power dynamic.

Though a man may treat some women like princesses, if he treats other women like trash or playthings, it makes me lose all respect for him.

I am biased and I do say this from what I have observed about wealthy men in my personal experience.

I am a girl btw. Been thinking about life and who and how I will find someone to marry.

Has your partner ever starfished?

I asked this in the woman's ask sub so thought I'd also get some men's opinions.

My husband and I were laying in bed after sex and the topic came up of past partners. I asked him if his past partners starfished and he said some did.

It was then implied that my husband was a predator because any woman who starfished, didn't enjoy the sex and was coerced or felt obligated to.

This surprised me as my husband is my husband for a reason, he's very attentive inside and outside of the bedroom. When I was recovering from trigeminal neuralgia surgery, he took care of me and did not once bring up sex (recovery was months). I've never felt pressure to have sex with him, so it doesn't make sense that he would have pressured past exes. I asked him and he said he never did.

So I guess I have a few questions. Has your partner ever starfished? And if they have, did you feel like it was your fault? Is it justified to see someone who has sex with someone who starfishes as a predator?

Thanks.

How can a gay man not feel anxious around straight men?

As a gay man, I always feel anxious around straight men to point where I feel like can’t be myself around them out of fear that I have to deal with homophobia from them. I always feel like I have to make my voice deeper than it already is and make sure that my mannerisms don’t come across as “obviously gay”. I don’t see myself as the most feminine or flamboyant gay man in the world, but at the same time, I always felt like I wasn’t as masculine as most straight men. I was never into sports or any other stereotypically masculine things growing up. Also, I was bullied by some straight boys for being perceived as gay in both middle and high school.

Boyfriend likes to watch thirst traps and more

I expressed to him how it made me feel and he basically dismissed it that it wasn't a big deal and that he would stop but he just continued doing it he says he trying but it doesn't really seem that way I'm trying to give the benefit of the doubt but it's just really hard and every time I try to actually talk to him about it he just gets quiet and will just watch me cry about it then go to sleep ps. He's always been the quite anxious type So am I cooked or should I wait to see if he's actually gonna change I really need help with coping and dealing with this please don't say it's in a mans nature because no it's not that's what men choose to gravitate as kids and teens and stick with it, it is not normal in a relationship it's embarrassing but I love him and it hurts

How do I enjoy myself more?

I'm questioning myself about "how do I enjoy myself more" because I often feel confused if this is more about practing, it gets better overtime the more you edge, or if I actually do have an issue that I need to seek professional help to get it figured out.

I just want to enjoy myself longer, regardless if it is a jerking off or sex (although I'm a virgin), without having to take breaks every single time because I'm at the edge.

I feel like the process itself its much more pleasurable than the grand finale itself. I don't know if it is the post-nut clarity or depression, but I never feel that alright when I nut.

Although edging is kinda challenging, it kinda only feels really good when I'm close to the edge and when I take breaks I go away the way back in arousness and pleasure and it feels annoying.

I wanna feel the feeling of arousness for longer, feel the beat and feel my body hot. I'm tired that when it gets good it ends soon or that I should step back in a easier peace that doesn't give me the pleasure I'm craving for.

Annoying parents pressuring for marriage

So I M(23) am from canada. I moved there in my teens and my parents are living in asia. I am currently navigating live and thinking on what to do, live alone with a decent job and investing my money. I don't believe in marriage to be honest. My parents have always had a tendency to butt into my personal affairs and are now pressuring me along with all my relatives to get me married and it's driving me crazy. Every conversation is about that. I don't like talking to them that much to begin with and every conversation is about how they want to control and dictate my life. What and whatnot I need to do and trying to know everything about me. It's like they want to live their life through me and gaslighting me all the way.How do I create boundaries with them and reduce their godly awful clinging control freakines ? My friend's parents call them once every 4-5 months, that would be so amazing, MINE CALL ME EVERYDAY!!. I hated my life with them in asia and that was a huge reason for me moving out.

first date

to point out, he has stated on his dating profile that he’s looking for a long term relationship.

we spent five hours together, first in a coffee shop, walked around the city then a pizza place with some drinks.

we talked about everything.

i could tell he was into the conversations.

we laughed a lot.

we have some pretty intellectual point of views which i always appreciate in a guy i’m seeing.

he asked me to get in touch via number / instagram then on the next date (movie or drinks).

he wanted to kiss me and said “i feel like im doing something wrong” while looking at my lips.

i kissed his cheek before getting on the bus.

the thing is i’m looking for a relationship not a hookup.

do you think this guy is serious to look for one as well?

i don’t expect him to be into me for one straightaway but i just wanted to retract my energy if he’s only looking for a hookup.

thanks for your time!

Why does my guy friend (20M) tell me (20F) so often about the girls he used to hang out with?

We started being friends about 4 months ago on his initiative. And we communicate with him almost every day. He's always the first one to write to me. Sometimes it seems to me that he deliberately finds different topics of conversation to talk to me. For example he always asks me which clothes are prettier when he goes shopping. Today he sent a photo of some perfume and asked me if I knew these perfumes. Sometimes it seems to me that he has some feelings for me, but then I remember that he has a lot of girl friends and he's probably like that with everyone. But one day he told me that he could forget about all his girl friends, but he would never forget me. But I noticed that he very often tells me about the girls he talked to or still talks to. He even sent me screenshots of their conversations. He says they're just his friends. But I never asked about who he's friends with and who he used to talk. Because we're just friends. He always starts talking about them himself. I really don't understand what he means by that. For example, today he told me about a girl he talked to last year, and he said that she was very shy very honest and innocent, he said, and there are very few girls like that right now and she wrote him good morning every day. They had a very good relationship like good friends. But I think it was a situationship. And then I told him why he hadn't started dating her, to which he replied that they had stopped communicating. She stopped writing to him and he stopped writing to her. I told him why not try to write to her if he liked her so much, and he said he didn't like her, It was just sympathy. He said that he had met a lot of beautiful and good girls, but for some reason he missed them. I really don't know what to do with him anymore. Please help me understand what he means when he tells me about all the girls who have been in his life?

Why will you text a girl everyday if you are not interested ?

Will you exchange messages on a day to day basis with a girl if you are not interested in ?

Long story short

I reconnected with a guy after couple of years on social media and we have been exchanging messages on a daily basis since a last couple of months. During our conversation we both have told each other that we are not looking to date anyone at this point of time. I think I am getting attracted towards the guy, I know he said that he is not actively looking for someone in his life right now.

Coming to the point, where i need help from you all:

Since a couple of days I am feeling too exhausted with the back and forth messages and it’s coming to my mind that why is he still engaging in texts, there were time when the conversation was about to die but it got revived.

I want to know do you guys put in so much of efforts to text someone on a daily basis and if yes why ? Out of pure friendship ?

This texting thing is coming from a person who is a bad texter :p

victim of monkey branch ?

I recently got out of a relationship, but a girl from work has started showing interest in me. She gave me her number and messages me frequently. The issue is that she told me she just got out of a relationship as well, but she still lives with her ex. She can only video call me at random times when he’s not around, which seems a bit suspicious.

There are also a few other things that don’t sit right with me—like her having a sketchy Instagram account that seems like a secret one. It makes me think she might still be with her ex and is just trying to line up something new before officially leaving. She’s also quite selective with the information she shares, which adds to my doubts.

What do you all think? Does this sound like a red flag?

From a man to a man, i need some real deep help

i havent been happy for awhile, im always so quick to snap, i moved schools cus of bullying, i have no joke been bullied my whole life. kindergarten/primary school to now. i do kickboxing eat good and work out in the gym but i never reply to the bullying. i cried to my mom about how i wanna move back and how i have such few years left and dont wanna waste it in this shit school but she jus said no. im always so quick to be cheeky and snap and say something i regret seconds after, what is it? i go to church when i can and i go to confession and try to be a man of god but man it just pains me getting into bed at 1 or 2am with such a heavy heart and not knowing the cause. i live in a partly rural area so i cant go out to a shopping centre/mall with friends, i know telling a teacher about my issues would only make me get bullied more ( ik from experience ) it just aches a) not being able to move school b) be left alone c) go out d) move school ( i desperately want to, even typing this now makes me teary and upset. my parents argue and then say they have a good marriage, brother hates me, sister always sides w whoever is arguing w me. i dont talk much and just get on.
can i get some advice that makes me go fuck man thats hard to swallow ( i appreciate all and any replys )

Men who aren't very 'deep', how do you feel about dating women that are?

My boyfriend is a very very good man. He treats me really well, better than anyone else but there is one thing that has irked me through the years is that we don't have 'deep' conversations.

I'm the type of person that likes to have conversations where we talk into the night about everything. The universe, animals, travelling, life and death etc. After I finish a movie, I would look into theories about it, whereas he would just say 'that was a nice movie' and not think about it for the rest of the day.

Like, I don't know of this is a good example, but I showed him the movie Gladiator, and afterwards he was like it was nice. That was it, no discussion...anything.

I love him, and he has tried (and improved) over the years with his conversation skills. Like he will ask questions now when I talk, or offer an opinion when I tell a story. I know he tries so hard to keep me happy, and he gives me time even when he works.

I just want to understand him. I want him to be vulnerable with me. I want him to share everything about what he is feeling - but the problem is I don't think he feels stuff the same way I do.

Men who are also 'deep' thinkers, would you be able to be with a woman that wasn't, but was perfect in any other way?

I know I would live a very peaceful life with him, and I never ever have to question his love or devotion for me.

I wonder if even me asking this on Reddit is the wrong place, as he would never ever think to come on an app like this. I once told him I like reading questions on Reddit and answers, he just asked 'why'?

He's the type of guy that laughs at those lame couple prank videos, where it's so obvious it is staged. I'm not saying he's not intelligent, as he has a Masters degree. He is intelligent, just a different type than me I guess.

I'm not looking down on him, or saying I'm better in any way. If anything, I wish I was more like him and didn't overthink everything as much. He seems just to sail through life and just not let anything get to him. He never ever gets angry. I admire him, and there are some traits of his I wish I could take on myself.

How do you navigate this type of relationship?

Guilty or not?

If a man tells you voluntarily that they aren’t seeing anyone else..

My friend 26m wants to date 15f y.o.

I’m in shock. This guy is a really good man, he’s intelligent, educated, very reliable friend. He used to study in seminary, currently he’s working in IT sphere.

He met a girl on a cruise and fell in love with her as he said. Last week he went to her to meet her parents and her parents welcomed him.

I got furious when he said it. He said he’s going to wait until she’s 18. He said that he’s tired of modern women like every 20 y.o. girl and above have had numerous sex partners in their life.

She literally in high school, like wtf? Is there something I don’t understand? At least 18, but 15 oh man 🤦🏽‍♂️. Can someone comprehend it?

TL;DR My friend is a mature man 26 y.o. wants to date a girl 15f y.o.

Edit: He said to everyone including his and her parents that they will be just friends until she’s 18.

Man 🤦🏽‍♂️in anyway it sounds creepy. Never I thought it could happen so close to me.

I’m going to talk to him and show this Reddit, I still have hope that he just out of his fucking mind

Viagra side effect?

Okay gentlemen…quick question: I am 54 and in relatively good health. Every once in a while, I will take a sildenafil (Viagra) for a little extra help. When I do, the erection is fine, but I find it harder to reach orgasm. It takes more forceful stimulation to finish. Is this a thing? Is it just me?
