My dark green bike with the silver glitter banana seat and a little Fara license plate. It had streamers flowing from the handlebars, and my mom put glow in the dark spoke covers on the wheels!
I loved my bike.
I was always into riding bikes so much more than “toys.”

So you’ve always been into riding all day long... hmmm interesting!!

Ok something easier today!

What was the best or most memorable gift you ever recieved as a child? What made it so great? How long did you have it?


Bonus points if you drop a link!

Oh and mine was surprisingly a fishing pole I was probably 5-6 yo. It was a daiwa open faced reel. A real fishing weapon , not like those zebco 202s those were for little kids. Lol

Sex rarely plays a part in fixing my mood. Occasionally it helps, but it's not a go-to remedy. I prefer to slide back into familiar things and comfortable patterns. I'll watch the same movie several times over. Or play old computer games from the 1980's and 90's. I'll listen to the music I liked in high school. Stuff like that centers me and helps me hit a sort of reset button. Then once I'm re-centered I can start to think about sex again.

Absolutely not for me. Sex...is more than a mood substitution.

Outside. Walk along a trail. Regrounding. Give me a half hour, and I can be over it
 
R&B. Loud. And cooking. Baking. Anything in the kitchen. But sex? No. Not as a mood fixer. Only after the mood has been fixed. ;)

For me, I tend to isolate when I am very sad or upset...I usually don’t turn to others when I am facing something painful...( and my friends can all back me up on this- rarely do they know I am suffering, or to the extent )...

I take lots of walks listening to music and listen to lots of Tony Robbins and spiritual videos...I turn to my faith a lot...I love to swim...reading too...

And yes, sometimes a good cocktail:D...

Puppies
Happy babies
Coming home to the smell of dinner cooking
The first glimpse of the lake when we drive up to the cottage
Talking to my best friend
Smoking a joint with friends by a campfire
A perfect medium rare steak


I agree that sex doesn't fix my mood. And if I'm in a bad mood, sex is the last thing I want. So drive me to the lake with a car full of puppies and have a steak waiting for me with my friends all hanging out around the fire pit and we can bang all night. :D

Angry/upset=
Workout with weights
Long walk
Watch a super violent movie

Sex is a no go when angry or upset.
I usually need some alone time and not the fun kind. ;)

Pre-corona, is go to the spa or the pool if the weather was nice. I retreat. I like to be alone as it is, so when the shit hits the fan, I prefer to be alone. Sex can help, unless I’m upset at my partner. I also like to work out my anger - literally. Working out hard helps me work things out.

Now, I’ve got nothing. A bath? Maybe time alone (which I am fortunate enough to get, just not as much as I know I prefer). Sex....? I guess but it’s only with my spouse right now and in quarantine, the odds are if I’m angry, it’s a domestic issue. So no, sex doesn’t help there. I have no sure fire way right now, sadly.

It's often making myself busy...cleaning or doing something with my hands to empty my brain and let the upset bleed away to where I can deal with what has upset me more rationally. Then talk talk talk, if I can, with the person involved (if it actually was a person, and not a circumstance).

Usually too much talking for the other person, based on past experience. I've lost/driven away friends because I need to talk things out and get it all out...and they just don't want to hear me anymore. My fault entirely.

Lately? Too much drinking late at night before bed. Needing to be numb-ish to obscure my stresses so I can sleep.

Sex is rarely a cure for this. I'm not one for makeup sex or angry sex...if I'm going to be rough/physical/aggressive...it's ALWAYS going to be part of play, not as a way of venting frustration. If I'm angry or upset, I don't want to be touched.

My go to was climbing on my motorcycle and going for a ride. The old joke of decoding what kind of day it was by how many fingers of booze to pour, mine was a measure of how many tanks of gas I went through. The open rode was a great attitude adjuster.

TBF, Sex was never used to defuse anger on my part, if I am angry enough to need to "Defuse", I am not a pleasant person to be around, which is what really lead to me getting myself away from the situation and clear my head.

With that being said, Make Up Sex after was sometimes very Intense, Vigorous and Messy.

Well, angry is different than upset in my mind. Anger tends to dissipate rapidly for me. I am indeed a fan of angry sex with the right partner. Big fan. Hell, I had a relationship built on it, however I haven't had a partner like that in a long time. With anger, I vent and it dissipates. Usually the venting happens during what is causing my anger, and disappears shortly after. I have not found it necessary to have techniques for removing anger. Sure, I made need techniques to bite my tongue in the moment, but then after I will just go vent to someone else about it. Bitching is my anger fix.

Upset, on the other hand, can linger. I do find orgasms help immensely, at least temporarily. The old adage of if you are feeling low, try someone above you does indeed have some merit. You have the release of dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and endorphin, all brain chemicals related to the overall feeling of happiness. There is the decrease in activity in the lateral orbitofrontal cortex, which of course reduces anxiety and being stuck in your own head. Then the increased activation of the prefrontal cortex, the insula, and the cerebellum. It is very centering. Yes, orgasms are a huge go to of mine for stress, when things seem gray, and for pain. Though, at this point in my life, it is much more likely to be alone and not though sex. Still orgasms remain top of my list, just a flip of the coin on methodology.

Of course, it is temporary, so was that all I needed or is there a real issue? If so, then I fix the issue. Is there a minor issue that fixing just isn't an option? I remind myself of the real issues in the world and tell my brain shut up and suck it up. Do I just need to let loose a little? wine, fuck ton of wine. Am I pmsy? food, carbs, lots of carbs.

Depends on how mad I am

If I'm not too upset, fucking her up ( not in a domestic abuse way, but a form of sexual teasing like punishment ) and fuck her ruthlessly. If I'm on that high level of upset, we have to let it out verbally and work that mfer out, sometimes it takes a couple of days

Exercise, noise cancelling headphones with loud loud music, throwing myself into my work, or perhaps a multiplayer video game with friends. Sometimes housework helps. Generally, though, I need a room that's just mine.
I don't do well with unstructured downtime if I'm stressed.
I've never had angry sex, and generally if I'm otherwise upset I'm likely not in the mood at all. Masturbating's okay, but I don't often go there as stress relief. It's more a pure fun thing.

Uhm. Nope. Mama always said...."once you hit 50, your mind is made up."

Absolutely. It takes some doing, but I'd say I've gotten at least 2/3 of the senior citizens in my congregation to engage in online worship, which is something they never would have done if it wasn't a necessity. They don't like learning new tricks, and teaching them can be like pulling teeth, but it's certainly possible.

Subtle changes, maybe. But after a certain point you are who you are.

I'm in denial about this, but I believe it to be true.

New Experiences are always rewarding in some fashion

Now, whether the Old Dog chooses to Practice that new experience, that is another question.

In that mood sex never enters into it. I just get real quiet & avoid others. I'll run. lift weights or just jump on my bike. The big problem down here is there are no open mountain roads to roll thru.

Age has nothing to do with it. It's all based on desire.
