hollyoaks is lowest common denominator trash.

i think we're similar in quite a major way, we've had quite alot of partners (say, over 20) but have had major "dry periods" or so to speak.

and yeah, even though i've now found out that my "number" (you know the number of people you've slept with) is significantly higher than an average 25 year old...i still feel really rather sexually insecure...like i've not had enough. this is possibly due to an emotional reaction from the past, i lost my virginity really late, and i guess i'm trying to make up for that by being slu*ty.

interestingly, the only time i feel sexually empowered is when i'm dressed up like a chick.

god, i'm a nutcase XD

When it comes to girls my own age - I have very little experience. The reason was I wasn't around a community with people my own age, and I didn't go to my town's public middle or high school. The few girls that I had run-ins with didn't understand me, and they shut me down with the online communication. One was an old classmate, and the other was a girl that went on my bus route. And down the road, things started to get rocky with both of them. One because I haven't seen them in like 10 years, and the other was I really didn't know them through the years.

When it comes to older women (used to be middle aged), I am more comfortable. Maybe because I was immune to them when I was a little one, and it might have made me safe or something. I have a lot of experience with older women as acquaintances. I also am comfortable with women around the ages of 26+, because they are more understanding than a punkass teenager or college student. And I want someone between the ages of 26-30, but they won't want to date a young guy anyways...

xanderbeanz, you feeling empowered sexually by being dressed up as a chick could be for a host of reasons... without knowing anything about you, i'd go off what my first guess as to why this is... feeling sexier dressed in women's clothing could be because of feeling inadequate with regards to how appealing you are to the opposite sex trying to appear how you're expected to... what i'm trying to say is, maybe you don't feel trying to fit society's idea of a sexually attractive male empowering enough? that's not a comment on how you ACTUALLY look, it's all to do with how you perceive yourself...

i don't know, i apologise if i've caused offence for believing i can make such a bold statement, please do correct me if i'm wrong.

This actually reminds me of the opening scenes of a programme here in the UK, called Hollyoaks (in my opinion a complete waste of time and money.. but "each to thier own")... basically you just have this cast of "attractive" blokes and women, looking at the camera trying to look thier best. Me and a mate were remarking on how it kind of subtely implies that's what we should all look like, that's what "attractive" is. It's the same with these shows that are aired on the channel E4 over here, things along the lines of "Beauty and the Geek", where they bring on a host of, once again, "attractive" women and blokes who are perceived as "geeks".


It sounds like the british version of The Hills... if any show was able to make me lose brain cells at a rapid pace, it would be The Hills...

Lol, an 8-month relationship at 13. I'm generally more likely to get on with lasses, but form closer friendships with chaps. Still, I've not yet worked out what flirting is, but for now will assume that rather, many girls are just very nicely friendly with me. I find taking it to the next level rather like negotiating jumping over a traffic bollard during a three-legged race.

Many years in many relationships.

I didn't say it was a good experience.

Have a lot of female friends, had a few serious relationships and many one night stands or just fooling around.

It can occasionally happen, yeah. But if nothing's changed it's probably better you don't bring it up.

I guess I might have had something close to a female friend or two, but not really. I never talked to them outside of school. So yeah, no experience at all.

It's better to have had sex with only 1 actually attractive person than 20 unattractive ones.

The actual number means nothing. Just a matter of personal preferences and standards.

hmm I've got to second base, and I've done stuff with 2 guys. My ex-bf. And I made out with a random guy at a club once just so I could confirm to myself that it was a frivolous waste of time. It was. :D I highly believe in the try something you know is stupid once, so you never feel the need to do it again theory...

...except for really serious stuff, like smoking or drugs or sex... (I don't think sex is stupid, but it's not something I'd just do randomly to "try it out and see what it's like")

I am constantly surrounded by members of the opposte sex....It started in high school when I joined a band...I lost my two female friends...The band more-or less became my social life...and that meant hanging round lots of guys, or their girlfriends, who i usually had trouble relating to...not that I had an easy time relating to my male band mates...

Anywhoo....I was in a relationship between the ages of 15 and 22..(with the guitar player of said band)...After that, it was pretty easy for me to find guys to date...without even trying...I guess I was pretty vulnerable...And because I was vulnerable I did some regrettable things out of thinking that that is what adults are "supposed to do"

Pretty much every guy who has wanted to date me has done so because I am musical and whatnot...and they wanted to have some sort of "musical project" with me.... :roll: ...or something...

I remember all of the guys I have dated, and am still friends with a number of them. I guess I am good at being in relationships because I have constatly been around alot of guys.


I make it sound like alot..but it really isn't...in comparison to many people. There are teenagers who have dated more guys than I have.

I have been in my current relationship since um....2003...I think..though we have broken up several times and recently went poly....(because he was already)...so I sorta have two boyfriends now...who I am in musical projects with... :roll: :wink:
They are friends themselves..

My first relationship lasted from 1997-1999. It was with an NT, and she cheated on me.

My second relationship lasted from 2003-2006. She was an Aspie. The main issue with her was that she set arbitrary time periods for certain milestones, which can't really be done when it comes to those sorts of things. Most notably, she wanted to wait 5 years before getting married/being intimate. And this was 3 years into the relationship. That is what destroyed the relationship, even more than the fact that she lived 1,200 miles away.

I have casually dated sporadically, including two people from WP. It never went beyond friendship with them.

I have never done anything beyond tongue-kissing.

I think that's mainly because I always ended up being paired with people who are either asexual or wanting to be abstinent until marriage.
