• Do you believe in the 'friend zone’? Have you ever friend zoned anyone or been friendzoned? Can you be good friends with someone where the desire balance is off?

Oh hell yes! I'm a frequent visitor in the friend zone. I think I have, but it's been a long time.
Honestly, I don't see why not.

• How comfortable would you be in a FWB (friends with benefits) situation? Have you ever had a purely platonic FWB?

I think I would be fine with it now. Some past relationships have left their mark, and for a long time it would have been difficult. But now (after some shit in life) it wouldn't be a big issue. I have not had one yet.

• Using a little romance novel parlance - have you ever experienced your own Friends to Lovers arc? (While we’re here - what about Enemies to Lovers???)

Yes, friends to lovers is possible. No enemies to lovers, but alas the reverse on the other hand! (OK, not really enemies)

• Have you ever been able to manage a good friendship with someone after a breakup? What was your key to success?

Yes. Although, these weren't very serous relationships. Still liked them, just not something that would work in a relationship. Success was really more about the personalities involved that anything else.

• Do you have any friendships that you’d like to add a little spice to but are unsure of how that would affect your friendship? Do they know?

Yes. No, they do not.

Friends and Fuckery

Let’s talk all the ways that friends can overlap with the sexy stuff. I’ve made an easy list of questions for you all this time for I am a kind and benevolent Inquiry Mistress.

Lies.

• Do you believe in the 'friend zone’? Have you ever friend zoned anyone or been friendzoned? Can you be good friends with someone where the desire balance is off?

Good friends? I think it’s easier for me to be friends with a woman that I’m not attracted too. If they are sexually attracted to me and I’m not attracted to them it can be weird.

If there’s mutual attraction I think it’s good to recognize they openly near the beginning of the relationship. Then you can do the light flirting without thinking it’s going anywhere and just be friends.

When I was single that led to sex more often then not in the long run. Some of those were long term fwb.

• How comfortable would you be in a FWB (friends with benefits) situation? Have you ever had a purely platonic FWB?

Yep. It was nice.

• Using a little romance novel parlance - have you ever experienced your own Friends to Lovers arc? (While we’re here - what about Enemies to Lovers???)

Hah. You’re still my favorite enemy.

• Have you ever been able to manage a good friendship with someone after a breakup? What was your key to success?

Not really.

• Do you have any friendships that you’d like to add a little spice to but are unsure of how that would affect your friendship? Do they know?

nope.

[dkak001]

What was the first adult toy you bought (for yourself or a partner)?

A simple vibrator.

Has your collection changed since then?

Ummm, it's grown exponentially.

Do you like incorporating toys with partners or do you prefer them during solo time only?

Both. Sex should be fun, and toys just open so many possibilities.

Is there a toy you hated or would definitely not recommend?

Hated, no. A few were, meh. Some were surprising, as they looked good but were different than expected. Not bad, just different.

Is there something you'd like to put on a Wishlist?

E-stim toys. And a monkey rocker, but those may not be available anymore.

Ok I’m buying this, surely this will be the one, right you guys? Right? Right????

• Do you believe in the 'friend zone’? Have you ever friend zoned anyone or been friendzoned? Can you be good friends with someone where the desire balance is off?

I do. And sometimes, I think that is where I am, most of the time.

I am sure I have, and I'm sure I have been.

I think it's hard to be in a relationship where one harbours feeling the other can't match.

• How comfortable would you be in a FWB (friends with benefits) situation? Have you ever had a purely platonic FWB?

I've not had one. I've had one that was purely based on sex - benefits without the friends, if you will. That wasn't enough. Pretty soulless after a while. And the sex is never as good as when there is meaning.

• Using a little romance novel parlance - have you ever experienced your own Friends to Lovers arc? (While we’re here - what about Enemies to Lovers???)

I tried it once. It didnt work. For either of us. We're still friends. But it's not quite the same.

• Have you ever been able to manage a good friendship with someone after a breakup? What was your key to success?

Maybe once or twice. I usaally go the 'cut them out of my life forever' route.

• Do you have any friendships that you’d like to add a little spice to but are unsure of how that would affect your friendship? Do they know?

Yes. And I doubt it. It would affect it for me. Which is why it's stays the way it is...

Fuck if this ain’t the $64,000 question

If you have any mental health struggles (and who among us doesn't have something), do you talk about them openly on Lit or privately?

I try and keep the public presentation light.

When others share things about their mental health, does that make them seem more real and approachable or give you pause?

Varies, greatly. I’m not a therapist. I’m not here to be a therapist. I like people and I like learning about people, and I’m empathic/sympathetic to the idea that we’re all going through it. The good, the bad, and the ugly. But there’s also only so much I can internalize. So I am selective.

How has Lit affected how you think about interacting with the mental health of others or yourself?

It makes me think a lot more about my boundaries than most real world interactions.

How do you think Lit affects your mental health?

Positive - I think Lit has given me an outlet of a number of issues that I can't discuss as openly with the people in my life. Not because of judgement from those people, but I'm primarily in a support role for those people and can't really have a moment to be weak, insecure, overwhelmed, or sad. Not that I love being that way here but ... shit happens. Lit has given me perspective on body image issues and boosted some confidences. Mainly, it's made me feel heard and introduced me to people who make me feel seen or have taught me something new.

Negative - I think if you are prone to overthinking (points at self) Lit is fuel for an already very hot fire. There's comparisons and FOMO and tons of ways to feel insecure. Worst, in my opinion, is the tendency to navel gazing and thinking too much about yourself and how you're being perceived and who and what you're missing out on. There can be this false sense of "left out" and there are only limited ways to help people engage or to reach out- especially if you just want to offer a quick hug and not get deep in the weeds with someone. (not sure that makes sense)

If you have any mental health struggles (and who among us doesn't have something), do you talk about them openly on Lit or privately?

I have zero problems being open about what I deal with and how I deal with it. I hope it can help someone either be able to put words to what they are feeling or feel okay about seeking out some help. I think there are things that should absolutely be help close to the heart but not mental health stuff - it's too important.

When others share things about their mental health, does that make them seem more real and approachable or give you pause?

I can tell a lot about someone by the way they discuss their personal stuff. If you are educated, honest, and (most importantly) fighting the good fight with humor and openness, I find it to be endearing and relatable. It's a level playing field where we can talk. But if you aren't interested in bettering or you're in the middle of something a bit manic - I think, for me, it's a sign to give some space. I'm someone who can easily get sucked into trying to help or cheer someone up or find resources, etc. For the right people, that's hugely rewarding but other's it can suck me dry and I have to make clear boundaries.

How has Lit affected how you think about interacting with the mental health of others or yourself?

Beyond my answer above, I think it's made me a little protective of the people (primarily girls) who first arrive and get a little overwhelmed by that constant dopamine high. I try to never be pushy but make it clear if they want an ear or someone to give context to everything as a level - I'm someone who learned the very hard way.
Then there's just the length of time I've been here - it's nice to judge the life I've experienced in this particular bubble and the growth too.

How has Lit affected how you think about interacting with the mental health of others or yourself?

Lit is either the best or worst place to be depending on how my mental health is doing. I'm currently in a good place so I'm interacting more and I'm really enjoying it. When I'm not in a good place I retreat so as to keep the overwhelm and FOMO at bay.

I try to talk about my struggles. I think a lot of people here are going through it and maybe sometimes the nature of the Playground makes it seem like everyone else is having an amazing time except for me so if I open up maybe it can help someone else too?
My struggles will always be a part of me and navigating my needs and desires while under a cloud can still be conversations worth having. Though unless it's directly brought up in a thread like this I generally only talk about it in my own space or in PMs so as not to bring the good vibes down for others.

I notice when people seem to be struggling and I have reached out a few times and I've been fortunate that people have for me too. Sometimes just knowing that we're seen and still accepted can make a huge difference.

Though I can't do this all the time. Sometimes I just don't have enough of myself to give or - and I appreciate this may make me sound selfish - sometimes the posts people make suggest they need more support than anyone on Lit could give and while I feel for those people I need to take care of my own precarious health first, even if that means keeping a distance.

How has Lit affected how you think about interacting with the mental health of others or yourself?

I think Lit is an overall slight positive right now. I interact with a small number of people semi-regularly and that's nice, fun. There have been times when I've felt less like posting but that's a Lit-appeal thing and not a mental health thing.

I do have mental health struggles but they are minimal and others in my family have it much much worse. I don't generally talk about it in public because neither Lit nor my regular social media spaces seem the right place to do so - my public and professional are quite intertwined and it's not appropriate for my field, I think.

For others? Well, so much depends. What kind of public profile do they have? How much do they generally share? In private, I see it as a marker of trust - this person is opening up to me, and I will be careful and gentle with that trust. I do think it can make someone seem more real but I don't have issues with approaching people or finding them not approachable in general.

I don't actually think Lit itself has impacted how I view mental health issues. Personal interactions with family and friends and partners over their struggles have impacted me quite significantly, but here? Really not so much.

How has Lit affected how you think about interacting with the mental health of others or yourself?

Lit is kind of a double edged sword when it comes to my mental health. It nets out positive though (I think )

I don’t really talk about my struggles on Lit. I joke about them sometimes. Post some memes about it in the “I feel so seen” thread. Occasionally I might have a sadgirl moment.. but for the most part, I keep things on Lit light and fluffy. I divulge a little bit more privately. If someone notices I’m off and asks me about it, I’ll likely admit I’m struggling, but I won’t get into it. I’m still pretty closed off and will almost always add a “don’t worry about me though, I’ll be fine!”

I used to be more open. I think once I became a mom, I started holding back more. More at stake and no space to fall apart.

When it comes to others, I’m cautious. Everyone has their struggles and I will always have space for my friends but I watch for flags in the process of becoming friends. I don’t have space in my life for an emotional vampire.
I do think a certain level of vulnerability on here makes someone seem more real and approachable. There’s a balance.

 

[Qwertymaker]

If you have any mental health struggles (and who among us doesn't have something), do you talk about them openly on Lit or privately?

I have severe anxiety and mild OCD. I've mentioned them on Lit before but I'm not shouting it from the rooftops.

How do you think Lit affects your mental health?

A little bit of bad, a little bit of good. On the dark bad side it can generate feelings of inadequacy and certain activities heavily trigger my anxiety. On the positive side it allows me to connect with people in a low commitment, low stress environment. And even the things that trigger my anxiety can help me work to learn to deal with it.

When others share things about their mental health, does that make them seem more real and approachable or give you pause?

Does it give me pause? No. But it doesn't make them any more approachable either. It does make them feel more real. A bit of assurance that the person they are portraying here isn't just a mask that they wear.

How has Lit affected how you think about interacting with the mental health of others or yourself?

It hasn't had much of an effect but then again I haven't been on the forums for all that long and I haven't had all that deep of interactions with people either. Maybe someday.

How do you think Lit affects your mental health?

Hmmm, that's a hard question... I think it has positives and negatives. Any kind of connection can be positive and there are definitely some great people here to connect with. On the other hand, though, it's really hard to just connect with people over text. Yes, there are some voice threads and that's great, but mostly it's text and you can never know how your words are landing. Is their reaction their genuine one? Or are they just doing what they think they should or what they see other people doing? With no visual or vocal clues to mood, it's so easy to go along thinking everything is fine when really you're pissing people off left and right or just seeming a lot different than you really are. I've been noticing this a lot with my new job - all my managers are in other states and I'm mostly remote, so I mostly communicate with people over email. My tone could be completely off for what I'm doing but it's hard to know if that's how it's landing. I'm actually glad for all the Zoom meetings I have with people.

If you have any mental health struggles (and who among us doesn't have something), do you talk about them openly on Lit or privately?

I think I'm pretty open about it, if it comes up. I'm not going to go out and just start talking about my struggles, there has to be context for it. Though even with that, I'm probably more open about it in DMs than on the boards.

When others share things about their mental health, does that make them seem more real and approachable or give you pause?

It depends on how they do it. If it's appropriate for the conversation or place, then it makes them seem more real. I don't know about approachable, but it definitely makes them seem like they'd get where I'm coming from if I talk about mine. It is possible to overdo it, though, I think. I have enough trouble with my own mental health, I can't take on being anyone's therapist, too! Some just seem to need more professional or in depth help than I can give. I'm a good listener, I think, but some people just suck you dry (and not in a sexy way).

How has Lit affected how you think about interacting with the mental health of others or yourself?

It has maybe made me a little more open about it in my real life. Because it's easier to be open about it here where we're all anonymous in a way, it's shown me that I'm not alone and most people are going through something at some point. So it's made it easier to assume that other people in my life will understand, too.

How do you think Lit affects your mental health?

It's probably been a net positive. I've met some wonderful folks on here who've helped me through some very dark emotional/mental times. At the same time, I've also let myself expect more of some Litsters than they were willing to give, which has led to a few disappointments. When that happens, it can contribute to feelings of isolation and depression. But overall, I'd say Lit has been much more positive for me than negative.

If you have any mental health struggles (and who among us doesn't have something), do you talk about them openly on Lit or privately?

I've talked openly about my struggles with OCD (the intrusive thoughts and nightmares) and with depression. And I've talked more in-depth with some folks over PM about things like treatments, counseling, coping, medications, etc. I'm far from an expert, but I think I know more than the average bear.

When others share things about their mental health, does that make them seem more real and approachable or give you pause?

100% more real and approachable. I know how scary it can be to put that part of you out there front and center. When someone talks about that, especially if you can tell they're nervous about it, it makes me want to reach out and let them know they're not alone.
I've met a couple people (few and far between) in IRL support groups that have made their diagnosis their entire personality, and that gives me pause. If I've ever met anyone like that on Lit, I don't remember them.

How has Lit affected how you think about interacting with the mental health of others or yourself?

Probably not much. Most folks I know have something odd going on in their brains. Lit's no different. For the most part folks is folks and as long as we're all respectful of each other, I don't have any issues. That's true on and off Lit.

 

[dkak001]

How do you think Lit affects your mental health?

Hugely positive. There have been times when this site has been a lifeline, as strange as that may sound. Not so much because of anything in particular that anyone has done or said, but just being able to interact with people outside of my very small community. Not being able to interact with a wide variety of people on a daily basis can be difficult. And there are a WIDE variety of people here!

If you have any mental health struggles (and who among us doesn't have something), do you talk about them openly on Lit or privately?

Never talked about them before, outside of Lit. I've mentioned things here, and some DM's have resulted because of that. I'm much more open to talking specifics in DM.

When others share things about their mental health, does that make them seem more real and approachable or give you pause?

In this modern world of instant gratification (via a dopamine rush) and "Instagram Models" seeing other facets of people is refreshing. The reason I'm here is to get to interact with people in ways that are hard or impossible in normal daily life. So, I very much enjoy getting to know others here, mental health issues or not, it's part of who they are.

How has Lit affected how you think about interacting with the mental health of others or yourself?

Not sure, other than maybe I'm more likely to reach out to people I think may be suffering.

I notice when people seem to be struggling and I have reached out a few times and I've been fortunate that people have for me too. Sometimes just knowing that we're seen and still accepted can make a huge difference.

I try to reach out when I notice things. I've had some people reach out which has been helpful. After dealing with some shit, I'm a little more aware of others struggles so do so more often now. (Sometimes if you haven't lived it, you don't notice it.)

Oooh! This makes me think of something my friend has and it's a Kegels game. Where you have a um... insertable game controller and then an app has a stroller game on your phone a la Super Mario Bro. You squeeze to make the little guy jump.
