I'm going to be mid 30s soon. I've been with 9 women. My current partner has been with around 30 dudes all before she was 23. She talks about all these dudes and good times.

I don't want to hit 50 and regret wasting my youth. I realize she had it easier, but am u missing out? Those who went and explored more was it worth it?

I just got fucking kicked by my classmate up my groin and the pain last not that long but now i have a nit higher than the other one. I feel no pain at all rn but please help.

All the following questions are linked to the one above:

What are you striving for in order for your life to be fulfilling?

What are you looking for?

I must know your secrets.

I must know how you all go through life free of all itchiness in the jewels. For you see, my jewels too come with a secret..........................

Lean in closer and they will tell you their plight.

I (m36) am a single father. And I am extremely bothered by jokes about how incompetent Dads are. Don't know their children's clothing sizes. Don't know what bus their child is supposed to be on. Totally reliant on their wives to keep track of everything child related.

It bugs the crap out of me. I know my daughter's clothing sizes. I know her schedule. I keep track of everything. I'm tired of other Dads talking to me and cracking jokes about being a Dad and being reliant on their wives. They expect me to relate as a fellow father and be part of some shitty dad club and it's supposed to be funny.

It's not funny. Be a better Dad. Be present in your child's life. Stop relying on women to do everything. I honestly don't know how women put up with this shit from their partners.

Sorry, a bit of a rant here. But I hate this. It really bothers me. Normalize fathers who actively participate in their children's lives.

Hi,

We're reaching out from a collaborative research team led by David Rowland, Ph.D., Senior Research Professor, Valparaiso University, Valparaiso IN USA.

We are seeking men who experience rapid ejaculation or who reach orgasm more quickly than desired to participate in our survey.

The survey duration varies based on your responses, but it typically takes about 10 to 15 minutes to complete

Why is this important?

Our study seeks not only to shed light on the complexities of PE but also to pave the way for more nuanced diagnostic tools and personalized treatment options, enhancing sexual well-being and quality of life for those affected.

Your responses will be anonymous. This project has been reviewed and approved by the Institutional Review Board of Valparaiso University in the USA. Thank you for your time and candid responses to this survey. We appreciate your interest and help.

Title basically cover it. 36yo male, hetero.

Historically (from say 20 – 30), if I was in a long-distance relationship, I'd frequently fantasize about my girlfriend / partner, and if we were in the same town I was happy with our sex life and rarely masturbated (unless one of us was away for over a week, say).

I'm polyamorous, though the past few years I haven't had many lasting lovers. I have one currently (lives a 90min plane ride away), who I rarely fantasize about but am happy to be with when I am. If I'm masturbating without porn, I'm usually thinking about a handful of past lovers or some woman I've never slept with but would like to.

I think I'm just in a lull: haven't felt in love or really into someone in about 5 years (had a year-long lovership end around then).

请问芙蓉有一夜情吗？

TL;DR: My GF seems to be drifting away from me emotionally and only shows me love when I’m sufficiently disappointed or feel a lack of reciprocity.

We’ve been together seven months now, and met at college. We got together incredibly fast, maybe only a few weeks after meeting each other. This is warning number one for me… maybe we didn’t have enough time to get to know each other’s personalities and now it’s coming to a head?

For the first four months or so we were super close, inseparable even. She was always happy to see me, would smile when I came around, and our life was very active and fulfilling for the both of us. I feel like when I left for winter break, something changed. I didn’t visit her because our college is almost three hours away from me, but she stayed back to do some optional intercession classes.

When I came back in early January, she seemed very distant and uninterested in me. After over a month of not seeing her except for FaceTime, I figured she’d be overjoyed to be with me again… I sure was looking forward to seeing her. A week or two went by and things got a little bit better only after I expressed myself to her and asked if she needed help emotionally or whatever. Fast forward two months…

Now I’m lucky if I’m allowed to kiss her without her complaining I’m smothering her. She doesn’t respond nearly as quickly to my texts (an hour or so now vs a minute or two before). She doesn’t want to come over as much as she used to (I live just off campus but she lives in an all girl dorm). She doesn’t really reciprocate my romantic gestures, and most frustrating of all to me, is when I do let it slip that it’s bothering me a bit, and I have sort of a downcast look about me, I’m the problem.

I’m always quick to forgive and forget, and she is to an extent. It seems to me recently that isn’t the case for her anymore. My hea d is racing about her and some of the boys on the track team she’s a member of (does she not need my love because she’s getting enough of it from somewhere else?) Am I not a enough lover? I buy her lots of gifts and make a huge effort to take care of her mental health when I can.

In short, what should I consider before talking to her about it? I know that’s the only way to solve it, but could there be some angle to this I’m not seeing? Thanks in advance.

So I’ve been having problems with staying hard either while undressing or readjusting for different positions. I am able to get hard just by a quick kiss but by the time we are either to the bedroom or by the time we undress I have gone full soft again. Staying hard while actually having sex isn’t a problem.

So is there anything internal you guys do to stay hard? Like for example flexing it or even stroking in the mean time

I (20M) been dating this girl (19F) for about two months, and we were very close friends for about six or seven months prior. During the time that I got to know her, she opened up to me about a lot of things, one of those being that she had an onlyfans. When she told me this, we were still friends at the time. Personally, I'm against sex work; I think that it's harmful to both sides of the exchange, along with a variety of other reasons. I explained to her my view points on it, and while she disagreed for the most part at the time, she heard me out. Eventually she ended up deleting it because she didn't want it to affect how I thought of her. Fast forward to now, and she regrets opening an account in the first place. But for some reason, the fact that she even did in the first place deeply bothers me. For some reason I have this gnawing fear that she's going to create another account, or that she never deleted it in the first place. I can't shake the thought that she's going to cheat on me, and the thought of what she could have posted on that account really bothers me. But I really don't want to feel this way at all. She's one of the kindest, most understanding people that I've ever met, and I really do believe that it was just a mistake that she made because she's young and impressionable. I've told her about this fear before, and she listened and told me that it's not unreasonable to be upset that she had an account like that, and that she understood why it bothered me. I have every reason to forgive her, but no matter how much I try to mentally, I still feel the anxiety and disdain emotionally. It's gotten to the point where sometimes I'll start subconsciously viewing her as this person who has no self respect, or as someone who wouldn't care a thing about monogamy. I really want to get over this problem, because it's making it difficult for me to even be in the relationship, and I feel like I'm ruining a good thing. What can I do to help this?

I’ve had a rough time including messing my brain up pretty badly and permanently with medication about ten years ago (now early 30s). I lost all contact with any ‘friends’ (never really felt close to anyone) I had from my youth. I had a reasonable connection with a girl a year or so ago but it fell apart in a pretty upsetting way and I’ve left my job too.

But what I feel like I’ve noticed throughout this time is how as my value as a man has fallen away, so has my value as a human. I feel like a commodity rather than a person.

Now I don’t know how much this is in my head and maybe it’s only my own perception that makes me feel like this, but it just seems like my place in society has now lapsed. I feel cast aside because I can’t fulfil what I am supposed to be. People don’t want to message me back because I have nothing proper to say so it has no worth for them and I’m going to end up forgotten.

Just how I’m feeling.

When I was 19 I went through a nasty breakup (I got dumped) and it put me out of commission for a while. She was my dream girl (IVY graduate, charismatic and model tier gorgeous) and even though the whole thing lasted 4 months and was a fling it hurt my self esteem when I got dumped. I’m 23 now and while I do scroll through dating apps I’ve been happily single for almost 5 years now. That said, I’ve been seeing my friends male and female getting engaged, go on dates and get married. I feel… jealous (not in the I hate you way but in the wow congrats way if that makes sense), upset for being behind and overall scared I’ll never find someone especially where I’m am in life. These feelings usually come up when I see either social media posts or scrolling on TikTok I find that most advice is oriented to females and idk if I’m weird for feeling like this as a dude. Advice? Am I normal or just emotionally stupid?

i mean in a real way. because women seem to either be too overwhelmed, not understand properly, feel defeated weak and passive and just stay there and pay attention and can agree but there's not that deep emotional connection, or understand logically but again no proper emotional processing and mirroring. I've heard of only 1 story that i can recall right now of it being successful but it's a very extreme and specific example. in my experience a lot of men are lonely at least in part bc they are toxic and don;t see the other person, get offended and make assumptions, like they don't want to get rid of their personal toxic conditioning they see as reality, but it doesn;t mean that every lonely male is so because he is out of touch with reality, besides you could aruge he's missing something but then why isn't anyone who has it giving it?

I have a lot of female friends and family members that complain about men giving them the cold shoulder after a falling out. I know at least five women with this complaint about other men. I'm not posting to make a moral judgement one way or the other, just wondering if people have observed that this is common.

Anyone else find the open misandry on TwoX disturbing/upsetting?

About 1 week ago I started experiencing a white odorless discharge and uncomfortableness in the urethra under the head of the penis. I do not have burning or urgency when i pee.

Went to urgent care and was given a chlamydia and gonorrhea test as well as a uranalasys. Was preemptively given a shot for gon. Came back negative on the stds. Gf also had a std test and came back negative as well and also neg for trich. Urinalysis showed no bacteria, but did show trace blood and white blood cells in urine. Went to my family doctor today and they did a swab test and I am waiting for results.

They recommended I take antibiotics for 28 days (sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim) for a infection, but I am wary of taking them as I do not want to build resistances to them and I tested negative for bacteria.

Anyone know what could be going on or have any advice?
