I got raped when i was 6 or 7. I am now 12 (F). I remember not consenting but i didn't know what it was when i was little. I remember having no intercourse. It was my cousin/brother from another mother who did it. I thought it was a massage and I thought it was something yk close people do. I have cut and lost all contact with that person and i have not told anyone about it. I want to know if it was rape or not. To this day i have found myself crying over this.

As title suggested. This is a question that I couldn't get wrap my head around. Do they benefit from it? Do they have moral values that make them prioritize this belief even though it might hurt them? EDIT: Sorry about the title:/ I mean when a person of color have/or support white supremacy belief, what cause this belief?

I feel down every time I do something wrong or get scolded. I don't believe I should be struggling to be a good person, nor should I be so bad at certain skills I've been working on for years. It feels like little progress is being made and it's easy for me and others to point it out.

We’ve all made mistakes, and some of them weigh on us more than others. But why is it that even after the people we’ve hurt have forgiven us, we struggle to forgive ourselves? Is it guilt? A need for punishment? Or something else entirely? I’d love to hear your thoughts on this

My beleive is most African Americans are so fit because they take care of there health which is mean they wake up early in the morning?

Out of curiosity, I didn't kill anyone or anything

I don't feel like masturbating at all! It's like I only do it once in two months or sometimes I go months together without stimulating anything. Recently I got to know that men do it regularly and it's genuinely bothering me now 🥺

Hi! I (21F) and my boyfriend (21M) have been together for nearly 6 years, and my sex drive has recently dropped way down compared to where it used to be, and this has led to some tension between us. We're long distance during school semesters, since he's a few hours away for college, but usually when we've been apart for a while my sex drive is higher, as is his, but that wasn't the case this week. While making out, I didn't feel any arousal, and I'm concerned that something is wrong but idk what?

I don't think I'm ace (though I am doing some research into that possibility) because I used to be very excited about having sex with him. I don't think it's boredom in the bedroom, because the physical response is what I'm missing. I have been struggling with depression, this year especially, and I know that can affect sex drive, but can it be this bad? Or could it be a physical issue that I'd need to see a doctor for? I also recently accepted that I'm bi, and I've heard that some people lean very heavy towards being attracted to another gender than the opposite gender when realizing that, could that play a part in it at all?

I recently received a DNA test kit as a gift. While waiting for the results, I decided to check out some related subreddits to pass the time. In these subreddits, it feels like actual racial theory is being discussed, similar to what the Nazis did. I always thought, that when Americans talk about race, they mean identification in a cultural context, not in the original biological sense. But I’ve seen comments like, ‘You have a German skull shape and Italian colouring’, which is quite disturbing for me.

Are these communities problematic, or am I missing some cultural context?

Men who doesn't get erection what it feels like when they're horny? What it's feel like when you're horny but you can't get hard or they stop feeling horny?

I can never understand. The smell and thought is horrid but I am curious why it's a kink to get peed on and shit on their chest.

Is it for the love of money and/or drugs?

Throway. Legitimate question, has anyone here ever gotten sick from eating ass? On the surface it seems like a surefire way to get sick but I've done it a ton of times after my wife gets out of the shower and it's been fine 🤷🏻 All of my friends, male a female that do it have said the same thing too. Either my immune system is like seal team 6 or it's not as dangerous at people say? Objectively still gross though but hey whatever the wife wants the wife gets lol.

My mother has a difficult time understanding why I don't contribute to the pension plan my company has. I (31m) don't make contributions to for it 2 reasons.

1. I don't plan on making a long term career at my company
2. I don't think I'll be around for retirement age. All the things I wanted to do with my life like owning a home or have a long term partner are off the table so I don't think I'll still be alive at age 65.

Should I contribute to a pension plan or is it not worth it?

I (36m) am liberal and have been modestly politically active since my teens. I had never heard the term "leftist" until recently, like 2016 at the earliest.

Was this like a Fox news normalization of the term then Gen Z picked it up type of thing?

Virginity does not exist. There is no biological matter to it, a man’s penis is no where near as important to make a woman loose her bodily autonomy but I get why to an extent. why did you think virginity exist?

No college degree, no apprenticeship, no money saved

Over the last year or two, I've been writing poems. Is there any way to monetize them? I feel like they're decently written, but who knows.

How would I go about making money off of them?

If so, to whom? No I don't mean reporting the mods.

I don’t know what’s wrong with me but I go absolutely nuts for a blonde haired blue eyed woman, doesn’t even matter if they aren’t very attractive. I end up just coming off desperate and it’s counter productive

I don’t know how to fix this. It’s harder for me to even get a gf like this because I’m brown skinned and girls like that generally date white or black men

Do you guys have any tips/advice? It’s not a fetish or anything. I genuinely want a blonde haired blue eyed gf and have babies with her

I 28M had this crush on a Grocery Store employee. I’ve stopped trying to meet women, approaching them and dating in general. I’ve just had so many misfortune and mishaps, that I’ve decided not to keep torturing myself. Before you ask, I’ve been dating and meeting women since I was 17. And have been rejected by 1000s of women.

But this girl, always kept staring at me and smirking every time she saw me. And when it was my turn to pay, she’d make small talk. We’ve spoken a few times introduced ourselves and talked about ourselves. Any Man would assume and think:”Hey I think she might like me, maybe I should make my move.” And I did; but then she tells me: “I’m not interested.”

Usually when a woman would reject me, I would feel sad and depressed for the day but the next day I’ll forget that it happened. But this time, after the girl said that she’s not interested; I said to her: “It’s okay, I’m used to it by now. Im just a monster, no wonder no one is interested. Thank you anyway and I wish you all the best.” I then left the store went home in tears. I basically cried all night.

But I don’t understand why? No woman has ever made me cry. Except for my ex who dumped me. Or my Mom when she used to hit me as a child. I mean she was exactly my type and the only reason why I made a move in the first place because she so called gave me signals.

I’d be happy to answer questions to help narrow it down. I asked my therapist and she didn’t have a solid idea.

I hate natural light so much and I dont know why, I just always have, particularly when I'm indoors. I hate the natural light coming in through the window panes and i alwatys keep my blinds shut and black out curtains up. And I always make sure to only have orange or warm lights indoors. I dont know why I hate it so much, but everytime I am in natural light, I feel overcome with depression and anxiety and I cant point to a cause in this. I am also autistic, but idk if that could be ralated. Im not sensitive to light or anything at all, I just hate it, and I cant find any online research regarding the subject so I am at a loss.

My friend says the average person does not like their job, finds it too demanding and copes with alcohol and other addictive behaviors.

Is he right that the average person does not enjoy their job and doesn’t find it particularly rewarding or desirable? (Ie. they can’t wait to go home).

I am going to start my first full time job in early January and I am excited for it.

Sorry if this question is in bad taste. I'm lesbian myself in case that helps for some reason.

From what I've heard, that word is usually derogatory towards gay men only, but I'm just curious what other people think.

I was just watching a video on how rock climbers sleep while on those very long multi day climbs and first of all how terrifying and second it got me thinking, how the hell do you go to the bathroom in that situation? I figured that peeing for guys is pretty straightforward and easy but at the same time what if someone else is climbing underneath you? What about pooping? What about the women?? Like I’m actually even more curious how women go on about this problem since well, they can’t whip it out and double as curious as to how free solo climbers do it. I thought yk you can hold it specially number 2 but peeing? Hold it for days? That would be an impossible task for me.

It's the title, basically.

I've wondered why motorcycles never had horns (as do cars). I think that it could be useful in saving lives, obviously mostly for the cyclist.
