>>814281It's not illegal per se, but anyone who has any very young adults in their life knows how fucking immature and naive they are. Or just looking back at your former self, I'm sure it's not uncommon to ve lead on by an older guy.
I don't really know how to judge about gay relationships. Like obviously the same problems stand, but they have a much smaller pool, and if your backwater swamp has 3 gay men in total, and the two others are either 19 and attractive an 30 butreally unattractive, then what do you do? Die sexless?
No. 814304
>>814281Nobody should judge 18-19 year olds for wanting to be with older people or the resources an older person can give them, they will do whatever they want because nobody can convince them they aren't actually all grown up yet, but we should absolutely shame older people who pursue these relationships because they are old enough to recognise the uneven gap between 18-28+ of understanding everything about life.
I didn't feel this way when I was a teenager but assuming you're 28 or older yourself, have you spoken to a 18 year old recently? The difference in life experience is huge, teenagers can be brilliant but it doesn't feel like talking to another adult at all. You want to protect them not fuck them. I would feel very predatory if I was involved with someone that young and I don't believe any 30+ who says that they're experiencing a deep understanding with a teenager, they might be using the teenager as a prop to roleplay being young again but they are still using their experiences to leverage control in a relationship with someone with less life experience. You might remember feeling like an adult at that age and I know we have many anons in that bracket here but really anyone 18-19 is just a child with a credit card.

I wouldn't want to date anyone who is more than 2 years younger than me, 3 years and more would be fine if both of adults are in their 30s and stuff.

I think it's fair for everyone to blame things on the pandemic for the next couple of years, and some people will have had their whole lives destroyed by it through losing their close loved ones or careers and businesses that they spent their whole lives working on, but I can't shake this feeling it's going to become the new reason why in 2030 Jeremy won't put down his PlayStation 6 and move out of his mother's basement at 35.

>>814388 Emo music became associated with some stereotypes like any music does, so over time this got exaggerated and blended with other stuff that was currently popular with teens and they got called scene kids referring to the idea that they were just taking part in the emo scene but weren't actually in it for the music or whatever, scene music had a different sound too. Standard infighting the same as in any music subculture ensued.
At the time there was such a huge divide that emo was all about the music wheras scene was more about the aesthetic and the lifestyle etc that some emo bands and emos specifically distanced themselves from anything that fit either stereotype because they believed they weren't being taken seriously because of it, but since people outside of this couldn't tell the difference between either it was all pointless
Time has erased everything and people now just use emo and scene interchangeably, even mixing it up with goth
Some people really still care about it, there were even some anons passionately arguing about it here in the starter pack aesthetic threads

>>814390I was 10 when 9/11 happened. I live in the UK, there's two things that stand out to me, at least in my memory of the events.
1: Things were… more hopeful? Not overly optimistic but 9/11 was so intensely shocking that it really made most westerners realise how it only takes one event to send everything into chaos and cause war, and of course we were blissfully unaware of shit happening in other countries so the footage alone was genuinely a life changing moment within itself, to see such terrors uncensored on live tv was really something else. I genuinely remember watching the news coverage like it happened last week 'cause it left such an impression on me. So after that and then the bullshit war on terror wild fucking goose chase in the middle east the general population was much more aware of how quickly things can change for the worse. Our safety net was removed, basically.
2: It was much easier to live at least partially off the grid. ID wasn't such a big deal, hell even driving licenses weren't. For example, my father rode his motorbike with no license and no tax or insurance for 10+ years and when he crashed it he came clean to the police and they shrugged it off. They figured getting smashed up in a crash was punishment enough. Nowadays it's a lot harder to do anything like that, even civilians can run your license plate through a website to see if you're insured. CCTV has massively increased, even in small towns. I think mass surveillance is much more widely accepted as well now because people will just say "well you wouldn't want another [insert terrorist attack here] happening would you?", before it was more normal for people to see mass surveillance as invasive/kinda useless. I also remember a lot of people in my town working off the books, cash in hand in the 90s too. All the while collecting job seekers allowance, that's been cracked down on too. All in all the government is just a LOT more involved in your business post 9/11.

We had a small trans population, since the group is small in numbers anyway, but a trans boy was on my homecoming court one year.
I'm not sure if anyone was a /pol/ dweeb or trad but I live in the midwest so having conservative fuckheads happened by nature.
No way of knowing if anywho had a mental illness unless I personally knew them, so no conjecture there.
Plenty of weebs and furries though. When I was a senior, this freshman girl tried to rope me into listening to her recap the entirety of Steven Universe's plot. Every time I'd go in the library for lunch, we'd sit down to play Mancala and she'd give me the scoop.

>>815098I started smoking weed at 21 to help with insomnia I've had since pretty much forever. I went on antidepressants at about age 26 after going to ask about therapy options with my gp. I ended up sobbing and he's been my family doctor and was at my birth so he got a bit teared up and just gave me a prescription for tablets. I was apprehensive but also at a breaking point and thought to trust the doctor.
Basically I smoke weed at night to help me sleep, and whenever I'm free during the day and/or night. I've been habitually smoking for nearly a decade so my tolerance is probably higher, but when I first started using I only got recreationally high at the weekends or whenever I was off work but always used it to help with sleeping or if I was having a low mood smoke some for a pick me up. It's not a perfect system and I will over indulge. It was worse when I was younger and I'd panic if I ran out of weed. Honestly the biggest tool at your disposal for not feeling shit is your mind and doing things that are good for it. Like eating healthy. Actually exercising and not avoiding responsibilities. I still struggle with how to manage my anxiety and depression, but I'm too apprehensive to try other medications again because of the weight gain. I had to buy a whole new wardrobe and hated the excess weight. It made every part of my day worse and myself more self conscious.

It just comes off to me as someone who's very insecure and trying to convince everyone including themselves that they're hot shit or fish for compliments. Kind of like that

I think I look good but simply don't feel the need to brag about it or tell it to anyone because I don't think they'd care what I think of myself. If I went on a date with a man who actually said those things to me out loud I'd laugh at him and assume he's overcompensating.

i saw some girl on twitter today, she is slightly shorter than me but like, has that extremely thin body i was talking about earlier, where they have a hella flat stomach and their entire upper body just looks small. i guess my question is, do people with that body shape ever truly look…big?? even if they gain weight kek because it seems like they are just blessed
or i am just a chungus and am coping. i don't really know anymore sisters. i'm losing my shit KEK. being in the house for a 3rd semester is gonna kill my remaining 3 brain cells

i am having trouble finding what flared ribs look like.
i have also came to the discovery that my anatomy is really fucked, my right side has an extreme intention for my waist/hip, and my left side has virtually none. like, my waist on my right side looks snatched KEK and then my left is just a straight line, basically. dear god. one shot at life and this is the hand i'm dealt. i'm over it man

>>817929i know my mom has scoliosis but i was never checked for it. i feel like thats…probably the only explanation for such a vast difference in sizes of my waist/hip ratio. i actually got a tattoo years ago on the "flat" side of my waist and it has somewhat concealed the absurd difference KEK. idk maybe i should ask a doc if its something fixable?? i had no idea it could be something like scoliosis i kinda just thought i was lopsided and retarded
it kiiinda seems like my ribs might point outwards when i look at them from the side, but looking straight on, they seem to "wrap" around my body normally, so maybe that is one thing i don't have to worry about.

Autism tier question here, but what am I supposed to do when people who know English speak Japanese to me?
Whenever I go into Japanese bookshops, libraries or exam/japan centres, the staff there speak in Japanese to me, but since they live and work in London, they're able to speak in English. I feel like if I talk back to them it's insulting to their intelligence, assuming that they can't speak English, and makes me look like a retarded weeaboo trying to unnecessarily speak in Japanese, but on the other hand, it's also accommodating to have someone put the effort to let them use the language that feels most comfortable.

I learnt that married or not things can seem perfect.. right up until the moment they stop working. It's like any relationship in that way. I wouldn't marry again because 8 years later I'm still stuck dealing with the divorce. Would've been nice if id waited and picked better but divorce rates are high anyway.

How do people with pets masturbate? I mean that like, do you straight up kick your pet out of the room/house just so you can get off? Isn’t doing that too cruel versus simply not getting off?
What if your dog is clingy and cries when you leave it alone? And what about pets that aren’t cats or dogs but still can’t leave a room unattended (like rats, ferrets, rabbits etc in a cage)? I want a pet but I don’t care about masturbation and I don’t understand why pet owners would subject them to that. Animals have more sensitivity to smells and if must already stinks bad for humans then it seems like something that would be even more upsetting for them. Forcing them to be kicked out of their space for that purpose also seems really selfish and unnecessary, like you’d be better off not doing it.
And how does it not freak and or gross you out that your pet is right there when you’re doing that?? This question has been bothering me since I overheard this guy talk about how his dog barks for attention outside the fucking door when his partner comes over. Why even bother at that point?

>>819877>cruelI'm sorry but I can't let my pet dictate my life and closing the door to my bedroom in order to have sex with my girlfriend whilst my cat has the rest of the flat to himself is not cruel in any way.
He used to yowl and scratch at the door, but now he's learned to be quiet and mind his business. A clingy animal is a poorly trained one.
In general I'm genuinely puzzled by bleeding heart pet owners who let their animal walk all over them because it being unhappy for 5 minutes is "cruel". I was called cruel by a guest who saw me spritz water at my then-kitten because he was chewing on electric cables. Okay, so I should let my pet get electrocuted? I should get rid of my work PC and table lamp just so my cat is more comfortable? Literal madness.

>>819882ata, I see what you’re saying but I really don’t see how those are equal situations in any way. One example is you disciplining your kitten not to kill itself, and the other is leaving your clearly uncomfortable cat to sort itself out in the rest of the flat so you can have sex in the next room. Surely there are better options, like teaching your cat to get used to you not being in the same room 24/7 first. Or leaving and then having sex while you’re out. Or some other method of encouraging independence that doesn’t abruptly start with closed door + anon’s gf = cat unwelcome until further notice that leads to the behaviors. I know leaving it with someone else or letting it outside isn’t practical for everyone but is there really supposed to be no better method? That’d seem more like working around the fact that there’s another living being dependent on you versus them somehow dictating your life via a choice you made when you decided to keep them. The cat scratching part sounds so awkward though. I’d feel bad for it, but at least it eventually figured to just do something else. Maybe you provide your cat with enrichment toys and stimulation outside of those times, or it doesn’t need you for that anymore. Maybe the word cruel doesn’t apply to you specifically as an owner. But it certainly does for others like the guy in my OP.
>>819897A cat being able to take itself outside at least is better than nothing. But if the animal isn’t like that then it’s SOL. I really don’t understand why any pet owners would give the message “you stay here by yourself, I’m going to make this room smell bad and you might be scared but you need to leave me and a possible stranger alone for an hour+.” If it can hate certain smells, certain shapes, and certain sounds then they can come to hate those times too. Forging a sense of independence and resources in a separate vicinity when your pet can’t leave the entire premises on it’s own seems more practical. I wouldn’t bring my dog into the bathroom when I shit but at least even with the door closed I can respond if it’s barking or whatever. Going to the bathroom is also a necessity, it’s not like you can choose not use the restroom or reasonably never use it at home.

No. 819956
>>819920Are you autistic or something? You sound retarded, a cat doesn't get uncomfortable because you put it in a different room for a little while. A cat can handle boundaries and rules. Pets can spend an hour or a couple of hours alone or in a different room and they'll be fine. Bad smells are okay too. What do you think happens when you fart, when you cook, when you open up the windows and a nasty smell from outside blows in? Not to mention in the wild? They're animals, they're build to handle bad smells. And if you have an animal that truly can't be alone for a bit (I don't see how that's possible because you can't possible take your pets absolutely everywhere) then that's a choice you've got to deal with.
>“you stay here by yourself, I’m going to make this room smell bad and you might be scared but you need to leave me and a possible stranger alone for an hour+.”If a pet is scared being alone it has issues that need to be solved. A healthy pet has no trouble handling a boundary that means it can not be here or there for a whole, I don't understand why you think they can't handle that.

I do take her out of my room when I’m horny, though. It’d just be too awkward otherwise. She usually gets a bit annoyed, but isn’t traumatised or anything. It’s not like you’re throwing them out, they just won’t be in your bedroom for a little while. I guess having toys and stuff would help.

I just don't understand (unless the person whose dog humps a pillow while they're having sex, I can see why that would be uncomfortable to see during sex) why people feel this need to anthropomorphize their animals. My cat knows I'm mating, but it doesn't mean anything to her.

Will putting a tea bag in a gifting bag make it smell nice for a long time? Or should I just get lavender sachet or a soap and put it there while the gifts are still at my place?
I got some Christmas presents and birthday presents for people, they all are covered in nice gifting bags and such. However, everyones birthday (and of course, Christmas itself kek, I just didn't have Christmas last year due to lockdown) are far away, so they all are just dusting around in my room. I thought it would be nice if they scented like something good for an extra touch.

When women describe their periods as 'heavy', do they mean the amount of blood, the physical effects of menstruation (fatigue, raised body temp, cramps etc), or both? I'd say that my blood flow is pretty high/'heavy', but I don't really suffer from the physical effects that much tbh
No. 820752

For some reason my brain has no problem with the other stuff and it's always been that way, and as a result I get stressed looking at numbers to the gulf between my understanding of maths and anything else continues to widen
I sometimes wonder if I was able to express maths in different words, would it be different? In basic maths you can only call numbers by what they are (I have been told this changes in advanced math but I'll never know) wheras in any other topic you can use different words and terms as alternative options when your brain gets stuck on something.

>>821038With something like literature, you tend to have a series of things you learn in introductory classes, and then as you progress it builds on that knowledge pretty easily, e.g. learning about grammar fundamentals might let you analyze the syntax in a book in the context of the book's theme more easily. Basically, even with different analytical framework in upper level classes, you use basically the same tools. But most classes review the fundamentals at the beginning and the course order isn't really important after you get past foundational classes. I think a lot of abstract topics like philosophy can be pretty similar, which is why there's more freedom with what order you take classes with.
In terms of math, if you start out feeling lost it's easier for a mistake you never learned to fix to get lost as you progress through a course and snowball. A lot of students might neglect a unit and think it won't matter in the long-run, until you have to build on that idea in a later class, and then you have to juggle learning what you were supposed to learn ages ago with a new layer to it. Plus you usually have to put in extra effort to relate it to your daily life, i.e. harder to remember.

>>821049Same, I become totally disoriented when I have to deal with numbers
>>821055>in any other topic you can use different words and terms as alternative options when your brain gets stuck on somethingI think there are different ways of conceptualizing the same mathematical problem, my mom tutored me when I was struggling with basic math as a little kid and she did this a lot. Then again, it's going to be uniquely challenging with math because you're dealing with a fundamentally different "language". Ofc dyscalculia is a legitimate challenge in itself too
Interestingly, I was reading about how the approach to teaching math in my country transitioned from focussing on speed and efficiency to the development of "number sense". It's basically the difference between knowing the steps you need to take to solve a mathematical operation, and actually understanding the logic behind that process. Evidence has shown that it hasn't been very successful though, the method is cumbersome and confusing, and children's math skills have generally declined. This was the my experience in school and I found it super frustrating, I can't help but wonder how much this teaching method might have impacted on my ability to process numbers because I always assumed I was just retarded. I think I'd like to have another look at the fundamentals to know whether this is the case. Being numerically illiterate feels like a huge disadvantage in the current job market.

I'm one of the anons you quoted and I do think teaching makes a difference even in hopeless cases, I had a very patient teacher who managed to make some basic stuff click by relating it to physical objects etc ofc when you get to harder and harder equations it's more complicated to do it but without that teacher I probably still wouldn't be able to carry money. Imo some of the ridiculous examples in maths books just seem to make it worse!

Is it a bad idea for a UK anon to say to NHS she’s a tranny if it means you can finally get a much needed breast reduction? Would they even remove only a small portion of the breast at request would she be forced to get a full mastectomy? Would you need to claim “nonbinary” to keep them?
>>821241Despite you putting little to no outward effort, people come to you, not the other way around. Introverted stacies are introverts who can be homebodies but still get invited out, or not be disregarded for their lack of engagement. You don’t try to initiate conversation and keep to yourself like a regular introvert. People remember you and regardless of your relationships the general consensus when you finally arrive at an event is an outwardly very positive one. Despite your introversion, extroverts and introverts alike still go to you.

But some trans people are rocking up and saying it's giving them dysphoria, and in some catchment areas, they're getting whisked straight into the process and getting their breasts removed. Same with sterilisation/gynae stuff too. Personal e.g. I've been trying to get sterilised on the NHS for over 10 years now, but they won't do it. Yet I know of 2 trans people who have undergone full/partial hysterectomies because their periods
trigger them. I get it must be shit for them, but at the same time, why should that get to trump my need too?

Most weekends from 10th through 12th grade we were having big sleepovers, usually 7-10 people every time. Every house had something different to offer and we made our own fun just goofing off, gossiping, playing games, going on adventures in the woods or the mall, etc. They were an extremely fun and formative period of my life and I'm still very good friends with all those girls some 10 years later. I think I'm an exception though in that this was our primary way of hanging out.
Everyone being able to drive and gaining adult responsibilities was the death knell, though. Once enough people would rather just drive home and sleep in their own bed or just can't stay the night at all, nobody else wants to spend the night either.

No. 822936
>>822906Some women (through diet or genetics) don’t gain much fat throughout pregnancy. There’s not a need to put on much fat - most of the weight gain is the fetus, fluid, placenta etc, i.e. weight that will come off with birth or shortly after. Combine that with caring for a newborn, especially if breastfeeding, and some women easily return to their pre-pregnancy weight.

it's definitely harder in 'rona times to start new friendships like this, but sharing experiences also helps form that daily-talk bond. if you can't meet up in real life, propose a watch party of a nostalgic movie or something. It won't sound flirty you're trying to watch 50 shades or somthing

They exist but rare. Alt fashion is more common, but not as common as normies in champion hoodies and tights. E-girls/boys are just in it for the fashion. Polfags and trads? They stay on the low or don't appear at all. Fandom weirdos are pretty common and actually pretty accepted though. Mostly, everyone is normal. Subcultures mix.

Obviously do not recommend having a breakdown but maybe reflecting on your feelings in real time will help. Prepare yourself some questions for when you’re being oversensitive. Like, how is this benefitting me? What else could I be putting my energy into? Is this worth ruining my day over? Am I giving satisfaction to someone who wants to hurt me? If yes, why am I allowing that? Etc. Police yourself and hopefully you’ll start to feel differently about the minor things which upset you.

For example bra straps on a halter dress or with the entire back exposed looks bad imo but if it's a dress with a back where only a few centimeters of the horizontal strap (lol idk the name of it) is visible, it's fine imo.
If it has a low back, you can use bra-strap extenders to pull the straps low enough to have them sit under the fabric.

To be clear, I'm not saying that I agree with this lol, that's just my understanding of how people use this word. People can do whatever they want, I personally wouldn't want to attach this word to myself though

Will my tits actually sag because I don't wear a bra? I have pretty small-ish tits and find wearing a camisole is the most comfortable thing for me. The bra-fitter also directed me to some bralettes, which I found weird because they don't provide support, and the whole point of wearing a bra is for 'support', so it seems like there's no difference between a bralette and camisole.

No. 825915
>>825886A person requesting their lover to call them by their own name is to insinuate an intense bond and unity with borderline ownership of the person whose name is relinquished. It means you are your lover and they are a part of you, a name being precious and individual but now to be shared between two people intimately. It’s romantic and retarded and wasn’t invented by the pedophile who wrote that shit book.
>>825905>>825889Enough tinfoiling. A movie adaptation of a disgusting book isn’t the only reference someone can make with the same prose.
No. 825919
>>825913that's okay, but in my opinion it isn't any deeper than it being a gay movie that a lot of people enjoyed despite the age difference.
>>825915nta but how is it tinfoiling? I think it's very likely he's referencing a popular contemporary film about a gay relationship as a gay man himself. calling your partner by your own name is much less common than people referencing this movie.
…also, victorian anon is that you? No. 825930
>>825919It’s tinfoiling because the anon I replied to had acknowledged in her own comment
>>825905 that the idea of Montero being about pedophilia is a tinfoil.
Believing the reference is to “popular gay movie” is a different picture than describing it as

>>825915Okay anons I was the one curious originally and I tried Googling it and he's actually commented on this. The answer is both.
>"It was one of the first gay films that I had watched," Lil Nas X, whose real name is Montero, said in a video as part of Genius' "Verified" YouTube series. "I thought the theme was so dope, like calling somebody by your own name is love, keeping the love between you two." Though the song is named after the artist himself, that title is actually supposed to reference the man who inspired the song, as the two main characters called each other by their own names in the "Call Me By Your Name" film. I like the whole "close bond" idea more than the movie, but he was still intentionally referencing it. I understand Lil Nas is young and probably not trying to glorify pedophilia, but that doesn't change the fact the movie involves a gross age gap. I know gay relationships have less material to work with, but all the more reason to come up with your own stuff. (Also it's still a somewhat weird concept to me, but I've had issues with codependency so I value my individuality in relationships.)

>>825938We never really talked about it for a while but I assumed it was something he did and I had to be ok with it as long as it didn't affect our sex life. I accidentally came across porn on his phone and even though the content could have been much worse (it was actually pretty tame porn wise) it still made me feel like crap so I brought it up. He was defensive and embarrassed at first and and didn't understand why it would be a big deal but apologized afterward. He said he would stop and he didn't have a huge attachment to porn, it just helped. I'm inclined to believe him based on the type of porn it was
gifs of solo women masturbating and I trust him so idk what else I can do. This feels like best case scenario tbh.

>>825938Late response but most men I have dated either did not watch porn (for lofty intellectual/moral reasons or just discomfort and low sex drive) or watched exclusively JAV + hentai. I have mixed opinions on this…on one hand, it's a bit alarming when a guy doesn't show stereotypical horny male behavior since we've all been conditioned to accept male libido as this, like, unstoppable force. That being said, the men I dated who did not watch porn for moral reasons and/or grew up without ever really taking an interest in it have been the best. The men who did not watch porn specifically during our relationship but admitted to watching it previously were respectful but gently pushed weird fetishy things on me sometimes. The ones who actively enjoyed lewd content during our relationship were extremely annoying and demanding about sex and more likely to ask me to do things I didn't feel comfortable with. I didn't feel insecure or anything since I am bi myself and I used to follow sexy-weeb instathots, so normally the conversation was limited to "isn't this girl hot" "yeah, noice"
So yeah. At this stage in my life I wouldn't tolerate it, especially since I don't partake in it myself. My current bf of 3 years falls under the category of "low sex drive, has seen porn but never developed an interest in it" which is how I would describe myself too. It's not because of insecurity, for me it's just the level of trust I guess? I find that porn addicted partners are more secretive and protective of their social media/computer/etc. Since my current bf has no SM and nothing to hide, I enjoy being able to use his phone or hop on his PC whenever I want without him getting jumpy. I believe the only case where it would be acceptable for a bf to watch porn (assuming he only consumes ""ethical"" content) is if his partner also indulges in the habit and they are open with one another about it.

The stupid part of this question is that I'm asking lolcow about it but can I sue or press charges against my landlord for negligence if there's been a consistent internal mail theft problem and despite having security cameras they haven't done anything about it? Also, they lied to my face about mail theft before I signed on. The main reason I'm asking is because I want to break the lease early due to the area being unsafe as fuck but I'm really scrambling to find a legal basis to do so.
>>826120I would review your lease contract and tenant rights in your area to make sure, but I'm pretty sure landlords can refuse to rent their property to anyone at any time. You could argue you're being discriminated against but this probably only works if you can prove they're being like racist or homophobic to you or something.
No. 826222
>>826214Groups from either side will say it's not possible, I think it's possible if your male friend is not attracted to you or has gotten over that hurdle of attraction.
I have a male friend, he and I both have been in relationships for years and we're very very tight. We talk bout literally anything from shitting to masturbation to our partners and issues with them and we give each other good life advice.
It's possible, but I'll say it's also very rare that you'll find something that won't sprout into possible feelings. You just have to have everything aligned properly and to get all feelings out in the open first.

>>826225Disagree,
1) if woman is ugly, he’ll still fuck her (just not date her). Probably when he’s desperate but basically guaranteed we all know that men have no consideration for how sex will ruin your friendship.
2) if man is ugly, woman can be deluded into overlooking it and actually giving him a chance to date.
The latter has happened to me many times. Since I have a huge fear of meeting people and making friends, I would feel obligated to consider dating the scrote because I’d be losing one of the few people in my life. The woman just has to have very low self-esteem and no one else around to talk sense into her and confirm that he’s ugly as sin. In one case I gave an incel a chance and he bailed after he coerced me into sex (and coerced me into dating ultimately with “you led me on” kek). I’d say the only way that a woman and man can be actual friends is if they’re both gay, but then again I feel like some experimentation might happen—like if you remember when Janice and the gay guy kissed in Mean Girls except idt Janice was lesbian. The risk is always gonna be there, but imo who cares because men are truly terrible friends to women anyways so might as well just not befriend them at all.

I try to at least be there when they arrive, offer them a cup of coffee and have some smalltalk, generally establish some trust where I know what kind of people I'm dealing with and they know I'm approachable for questions and whatnot. In the same vein I like being there when they leave but that's also because I usually pay them on the spot (if they were hired through less than official channels).

>>825938He watched it a couple of times but he doesn't have the habit of watching it, especially when we're together. And when we're not together since we were in an ldr at certain points of our relationship, he'd just masturbate in the shower without a phone kek
I met my bf when I was a massive coomer so I know he didn't have a reason to lie to me in order to impress me.
>>826882nta but since I'm in a similar situation, my bf grew up in a pretty religious environment and he went to an all boys religious school which somehow was actually really innocent and he never had the desire to develop a porn watching habit. Usually from these kind of surroundings I expect men to be coomers anyway, but I guess his shyness and a lack of a large group of male friends ended up with him being unexposed to an over sexualized environment as a kid. And he was raised by a single mother
