It seems like that shirt is suggesting that one sleep with one's stress, which sounds a lot like marriage

Why don't we talk about the big release after edging for days or even weeks?

Come in here for the first time and immediately speak my language. Saucy

Both edging and odd kinks sound great.

Definitely topics I wanna touch on!

Let’s discuss things that turn us on but we’re often too embarrassed to talk about. A no judgement zone into the dark depths of our brain.

While remaining within forum guidelines and Lit rules, of course. But I agree. I want this place to be judgement free. And you never know, someone else's odd kink might inspire a new one for you!

But I’d argue that also can incorporate edging; when edging and so much sexual tension has built up, is often when those darkest desires come to the front of our brains. At least for me

Edging I want to make it's own topic. However, it could definitely come up as someone's odd kink or in relation to it.

Awwwww that makes me sad.

 

[Chloe_Harper]

Awwwww that makes me sad.

I'm sad-facing I'm letting you know so I don't actually sad face and mess up your reaction score

I think Stress and How We Deal would be a fun and interesting topic I'm sure everyone has different ways of managing, especially depending on what is causing said stress.

In all seriousness.... You're not wrong

It would be so much fun to find a new kink or turn on. Can’t tell you what it’s going to be yet, but something new is always exciting

 

[Chloe_Harper]

Alright, this is one I'm gonna start working on. I think this could be good, and relatable to many.

Stress and How We Deal
A Communal Dissertation

So, this is one of the topics I mentioned starting next. I do plan on coming back to the others I was talking about, but some stress has kinda been avalanching lately. So, stress wins life again.

Stress can be such a crippling thing. It heightens other mental and emotional places in us, shortens our fuses, makes us go full armadillo, has us working harder but maybe not smarter, keeps us from getting anything accomplished while more piles on, and the list goes on and on...

I know, for me, depending on what is stressing me out will depend on how my brain reacts. If it's work stress, I try to push through harder, and that doesn't always pay off. If it's family stress, well, even that depends on the kinda family stress, but you can pretty much guarantee alcohol is nearby. If it's emotional stress, I start to shut down. My brain doesn't work as well, and I need to have something light and playful to distract me until the chemicals in my brain mellow out.

So, what are the coping methods here, other than drinking, diving deeper into work, or finding something light and playful? Or, maybe what are the specifics in that? Is there something that always pulls you back out or makes you feel better? Is there a bad habit you find yourself falling back on? Is there someone you talk it out with, no matter who it is or what it's about?

Let's start here and see where this topic takes us. And, if you don't want to share, that's okay too. Perhaps I'll just sit here talking to myself.

Okay... the healthy way I deal with stress, queue up some killer songs, crank it up and dance around the living room for a while.
Or, alternatively, I play guitar... sometimes at equally loud levels.
My unhealthy one you already mentioned - drinking. But it does go just fine with the other two.

This is a beautiful and healthy way of dealing. I definitely do this sometimes depending on what's stressing you.

And I love when get to benefit by listening to these

Drinking can be a fun one, but so unhealthy. My poor juice box fund. Lol

The way I handle stress is 1000% easier said than done. I go to this strategy often with mixed results.

I can’t control much, but I can control my thoughts.

So, I try to see all the things I can’t control that are specifically stressing me out … realize I can’t control it (in theory) and let go of its power over me.

Hopefully what’s left is solutions, ideas or a better feeling of perseverance.

I dunno.

Ah, back to kissing...

I love those moments of the build-up to the kiss. The eye contact, the touching (firm or gentle), the faces coming closer in an almost teasing way... those moments right before the kiss, they are so fucking hot

The getting into each other's spaces. The anticipation of what's to come. An almost stubborn quality of who will give in first and move to kiss the other person

Maybe it's for reassurance. Maybe it's to let the moment build just a little longer. Maybe it's wanting to remember everything surrounding what could end up being the most epic kiss of your life. Or, perhaps, you know what's coming, and you're reveling in it before it happens

And those deeper teases, the ones where you brush your lips against theirs. Run your nose along their cheek. Bring yourself as close to kissing as possible, but without actual kissing yet. That toe-curling moment of knowing you both want to taste each other, but not yet giving in. Dancing on that final line in the most sensual dance there is

Until nothing can hold you back from each other anymore...

So, what are the coping methods here, other than drinking, diving deeper into work, or finding something light and playful? Or, maybe what are the specifics in that?

Everyone's experience in life is different, so no judgement cast upon anyone for my opinions. With that out of the way...
I'm wary of using any substance whether it be alcohol, drugs, or (my personal vice) food. These aren't healthy tools for coping, though I understand the desire to "drown your sorrows" and those other cliches. Do I want a drink? Always. But it isn't a way to properly cope or deal with stress.

You highlighted different areas of life that stress can enter through but it's important to also note that good things can be stressful too - we just don't focus on handling that stress correctly because we felt good from it (possibly). Do I think a drink will help when I'm around my family (or the current in-laws)? I do, but I also know it won't fix the stressors and I'll just develop a cycle of dependence. I also don't know how to deal with these stressors, so for now I just smile and nod as much as I can because nothing I do or say is going to improve these situations. That's a long way of me saying I don't have a fucking clue how to deal with familial stress because it never goes away.

For work, if it's a culture of toxicity, I just leave. For nine years I had a job that told me what city & state to live in, gave me no options in work assignments, and I was powerless to make meaningful change to get out of bad leadership. Now that I have this flexibility, I leave. My personal sanity and mental health is not worth enough to suffer when I can just go elsewhere. If it's the stress of projects, I don't devote extra time, but I do push away distractions and get done what needs to get done. I've been hyper-autonomous for the past seven years with bosses that were in different states for the past five years. It gives me almost too much latitude to get distracted and especially in the past couple of months, I've done a poor job of managing outside distractions.

There are times, though, that i just need a distraction. I need to check out and just laugh; laughter is the best medicine, right? I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with a little escapism every now and then, but it should never be used to outright avoid the cause of stress if there is anything that can be done to mitigate the stress.

Is there something that always pulls you back out or makes you feel better?

Sort of, but it also causes more stress. I have a place about two hours from where I live that I find peace regardless of what storm rages within me. The problem is that it's over 100 miles each way, requires a lot of time, and also makes me melancholy, so it's a double-edged sword. I always leave feeling better than when I arrived though.

Is there a bad habit you find yourself falling back on?

Food. I'm a stress eater, and the fact that I gained 80 pounds in a year and a half tells you all you need to know about the last few years of my life.

Is there someone you talk it out with, no matter who it is or what it's about?

Now? Yes. Just a few short months ago? No, I hadn't had anyone for years.

So, this is a lovely callback to an older YouTube video done by a man at some kind of gathering years ago. These two that did this I think tipped their hats well at the OG video (which is at the bottom). I put this here today because anytime it's Decades Week in @morelikeasong's thread, this is mentally me. Although, I do occasionally dance too. So, thank you MLAS for your thread and putting me in the dancing and nostalgia headspace so often. I know your thread is appreciated by many.

Hello everyone
How are you all?



Looks like I missed a lot of pictures

Ok, let's talk about "weird" kinks

I love finding people who have similar kinks to mine but from different reasonings or perspectives. I also love finding out why people like things I just have never gotten into.

I also find it super interesting when partners start to get into new kinks simply because of how much it turns their partner on.

I feel like sex is a constant journey where one should have fun exploring, both alone and with others. You never know where your sexual revelations will come from.

There's a lot of the "usual" stuff. So, what do I mean when I say "weird" kinks? The ones that make you blush or think twice about sharing (nothing that breaks Lit rules or legal ones). The ones that you maybe only explore in secret or with a trusted partner.

No one has to share, to be very clear. Or, maybe you want to only talk about what is "normal" kinky versus "weird" kinky. What is it that drew people to wanting this topic? Or maybe y'all just wanted to know all of my weird stuff

So, let's start here. How do we find the line between "normal" and "weird" when it comes to kinks? Or, did I already define it, and it is person-dependent?

I’m not sure how I missed this thread, but I’m glad I found it.

I believe that the level of weird depends on the person. What I may find a normal kink for me may be way out in left field for someone else, and vice-versa. I try to keep an open mind and not kink shame, but some things cross the line for me and turn me off immediately. That’s where communication comes into play. You need to be open with your own sexuality and be able to express that with your partner(s) so you understand each other’s boundaries.

It does if that's how you like being kissed or teased
