Third ☂ Text

Many of you seem to be unhappy.

We don't all necessarily want you to be happy, but acceptance and adaptation to your situation would be a start. The only question that remains is: how?

It is clear to us that your species resolves many issues through communication. Unfortunately, none of us understand the human psyche as clearly as others of your species, and so I leave it to you to communicate with and to help one another.

You may consider this post an open forum in which you can discuss what's been bothering you. In turn, I will conceal your identities, so that you may help one another without preconceived biases. If you'd like to reveal yourselves to one another, the option is there, but unnecessary.

Heal. Recover.

I'll leave you to it.

sex is weird

like, i like doing it or whatever, but it's just that some people want it so much? like, constantly. and that's fine, right, i can get into it even if it wasn't at the top of my to-do list for the day or whatever, but at that point it's just like this is weird, right? i mean, who the fuck in prehistory decided "hey, we love each other, so let's mash our lips and privates together in different ways and maybe not make it all about reproducing"??

i guess i just wish i wish i wanted it more. i know nothing's wrong with me, and i always enjoy it when i'm with my partner, but i feel bad about not being as into it as often as them

i mean its not the same as being with a real person obviously
but its a good substitute for those times where youre just not feeling it for them

I don't know, I never had sex... but that's the most intersting description I ever read of it.

Anyway, I don't think you should feel bad about not wanting to mate all the time, everyone's hormones are different.

some people would call it "stupid", not "interesting," so i'll take it

it's not about mating, omg. neither of us is ready to be a parent. it's supposed to just be fun, and it is, but i feel like i'm a drag on our relationship. i hate that

anon

Relationships aren't only about sex, you know?

Yes, it's usually part of what you and your partner share... I think, but there are couples that love each other even without being able to sleep together. I'm sure you have a lot of things to offer, even if not inside the bed.

I've found sex is rarely about love. Occasionally, perhaps. But hardly all the time.

wow

i know this might like, blow your mind or whatever

but some of us aren't into casual sex. shocking!! yeah, for some of us, it's always about love or devotion

if you're not going to be helpful or compassionate, shut up

not really

there's never really been a good time to bring it up

Is this a human thing?

anon

i haven't met enough non-humans to say one way or another if it's exclusively a human thing

Never got it either. Guess it was fun to pass the time when I was drunk or something but never understood why people masturbated or shit when they weren't getting laid. Not like it was that good.

( Says the woman complaining about not getting laid upthread whatever. )

i don't get that either. what's the point if it's not with my partner. like good for you if that's your thing or whatever, but i just don't want to by myself

Sex is weird. And it's different for everyone.

Some people are less interested than others. Some people are more.

Do they know you're not into it?

anon

[unfollowing]

i'm not not into it. i'm just not always into it. not to start with

and no, we haven't really had the chance to talk about it. things were kind of crazy back home for a while, and now i'm here, so... yeah

hahaha you're not kidding, sex is the weirdest. Especially French kissing.

Don't get me wrong, I like sex just as much as the next person, but you gotta admit it's hilarious.

anon

[unfollowing]

i wouldn't say hilarious, but you're totally right, it's all so weird. good, yeah, but weird

maybe you need to experiment a little more, keep it interesting

anon

i'm not so sure experimenting will get me more turned on or ~full of desire~

It was never about love for me but being wanted.
I went a long time being told no one would want me. Sometimes, I still worry no one truly will.
But when I have sex with someone and can make them feel good, it makes me feel like I'm doing something right. That I'm desirable. That maybe I am worth something.

So it's fun to me for that reason.
Just as maybe a different perspective for why someone might be more into it than you are. Maybe they just really want you to feel good and that's one of the only ways they know how to express it.

i hadn't thought of it like that. they know i love them, but maybe before that they didn't or they weren't sure

thanks for this. i'm going to think about it. and maybe they'll tell me when we talk about all of this

If you're fine what's the problem?
Maybe they want it too much.
