new OKC thread (yet another Savalog)

Based on all the ads, perhaps Lori has Low T.

I didn't even think of this. He might.

I think the main thing with sex drive is that it's not a problem as long as the person you're with has a comparable one.

The radical imbalances are when it becomes a problem, though I usually find I can cure a low sex drive in women...

Agree.

My low sex drive probably has more to do with my long term antidepressant use than anything else.

Ugh. That sucks.

There were a few that made me feel like I was in my refractory period 24/7. It fucking sucked donkey ass.

I will not take any psych meds again so long as I live. Dip**** psychiatrists don't even know what the fuck they are doing most of the time. I recall one doctor I saw briefly actually admitted to me, "it's more of an art, not science"

Uhm. WTF? NOPE!

They're mostly idiots. Though, some (of those kinds of) docs know what they are doing.

When someone says their job is an art not a science it means the field is unsolved and nobody knows what they're doing. IIRC psychiatry is the place of refuge for doctors who graduate at the bottom of their classes and can't match anywhere else.

Most exciting quote of the day, "I can't find a man who has as big of a physical need as I do. It is disappointing to have my advances rejected."

No IUD or other birth control to speak of. I had to order condoms last night. I don't mind condoms; I'm just not used to them.

These could be related . Maybe the guys didn't lack physical need, they just ran out of condoms?

All of medicine is clearly an art.

That is certainly a possibility. Every time I've used condoms in the past, it was spur of the moment and my partner was the one who was prepared. I've never been in a situation where I wanted to have sex but couldn't due to lack of condoms. Oddly enough, I have avoided sex with someone before and used lack of condoms as an excuse. It wasn't just one time, too. I was on the fence about her and ultimately decided she was terrible and not someone I wanted to sex.

[Lorizael]

Ugh. Don't feel like correcting nonsense on phone. Probably shouldn't just post a derisive

[Sava]

Date two went great.

We're hanging out again on Wednesday. She's coming over to my place and we're going to watch cheesy horror movies on Netflix while cuddling under the covers.

Don't worry. I'm keeping it real. We're not moving too fast with the feels.

[Lorizael]

Let us know the moment insertion occurs.

[Sava]

I mean, if she doesn't mind, I'll post a selfie

[Lorizael]

Also, how does this going on dates thing work? I've heard that dinner and a movie is actually a bad date idea, because dinners are intense and awkward and movies don't allow for conversation. What's a good date?

Here again, despite three relationships, I have very little dating experience (basically none with my first two relationships). My kinda sorta first date with my ex was taking her to see a play my dad was directing. This accidentally led to me, ex, my mother, and my father sitting in a line watching what turned out to be a romantic play. It was hella awkward, and I ended up apologizing profusely afterward because that was really not the signal I wanted to send. Our second kinda sorta date was going to a fancy restaurant in Baltimore's inner harbor and then seeing Josh Ritter perform at a local music venue. By this point, we had already known each other and been hanging out informally for months, so we were comfortable with each other and knew what we enjoyed doing together.

With a mostly random stranger, how can you possibly be comfortable, and how can you possibly know each other's interests enough to know what to do together?

[Imran Siddiqui]

How are dinners intense and awkward? Or, rather more intense and awkward than lunch or coffee or whatever food consumable event you can consider.

Dinner is a fine first date. That's what I consider a pretty decent standby.

If you really want to 'mix it up' , do movie first, dinner afterwards. Built in conversation piece. One time I did art museum, then dinner - worked as well.
