    Is watching P an act of infidelity? Is M’ing on its own? Is M’ing to P? My personal answers: yes, no, yes. In that order. I’m trying to wrap my head around it. For years I’ve just tried to tell myself that it’s “normal” for guys to regularly watch it. These threads are giving me hope...

    So hurt and not sure I can overcome

    “Maybe one day he’ll want me?”

    I called this journal “Maybe one day he’ll want me?” because I guess that’s the hope I’m searching for here. I’ve had healthy sexual relationships, with a lot of love, enough kink, and plenty of the gentle quiet intimacy that follows a sexual encounter between two healthy people in love who...
