Or when someone has a sexual problem and they'd like support and advice but they receive criticism or get shut down instead. I've had several friends tell me that I'm the only one they can openly chat with about sex for fear of judgment/shaming from others. Sometimes even sexual issues which don't appear particularly controversial seem to really trigger a lot of anger and arguing. In my view, human sexuality exists along a continuum. I don't perceive it as black-and-white. Again, I am not referring to coercion or assault. I've noticed that a recurring problem in adult relationships is when one partner does not understand the other's sexuality...so they feel they have to control it or change it somehow...which leads to more problems.
What do other people think? I'd be interested to read any responses which are calm and open-minded  |
Because society made sex such a big deal. Look at women for an example. If they hook up with a guy at a party their a slut while the guy gets high fives.
People shame others for having sex and look at them like their a sub human. Take a prostitute as an example. Most people think they're better than them and say mean and hurtful things. But in reality they aren't better but worse because they're so simple minded that they can't see they're just living life the way they want or living that way because they have too so they can live. Not everyone has the skills or support to get high paying jobs/careers. People shouldn't hate so much.
"Normal" people are boring AF. I've really enjoyed getting to know all types of personalities and people that are considered outcasts.
When I'm in a bad manic episode I'd have a few girlfriends and have sex with all 3 sometimes in one day. I'm really good at lying and I'm very well liked. When I'm manic I could be a porn star and I'm like the Energizer bunny that keeps going and going and going and going etc.
I've also been told I'm a great listener and never judged anyone I've talked to. For the most part I've been an outsider all my life and genuinely know what its like not being able to talk to anyone about myself. Mostly because of how the majority of people views people that's bipolar. If people cant relate with me then what's the point in having a conversation with them. Its impossible to get others to understand emotions and what a person feels inside.
Also good luck in changing people minds because I've learned it's near impossible to get them to be a decent person. They can't leave people alone thats different than them and want them to be like them and do what they do. Well I guess it's too complicated for them to realize not everyone wants to be like them.
