Cosmopolitan - Bleeding after anal sex

""It's not unexpected that [anal sex] would cause bleeding." Does that mean you should never put anything up your butt hole? No! It just means you need to take some extra precautions, like, say, a little thing called a shit-ton of lube"

"It's not a sprint, it's a marathon back there. And you want to make to the finish line without any bleeding or discomfort."

Or wait, no, I'm assumed to fawn over beauty because I'm female, but it's still a bad thing because...I'm not sure actually.

NothingOnTellyAgain · 04/02/2019 13:44

I think you'll find you were fawning AAK
Did you put his poster on your wall and scream

This is proof of something or other

FlyingOink · 04/02/2019 13:44

Are we supposed to be equally grateful no matter what the person looks like? Is that it? That seems a worthy assertion.

It's not realistic, but it's certainly worthy. Is that what you meant Elon?

NothingOnTellyAgain · 04/02/2019 13:43

So how does all this relate to young women beign told bleeding is normal
And not bothering them with stuff abtou STDs or condoms or consent

?

AngryAttackKittens · 04/02/2019 13:43

And since I was always delighted to pull a beautiful man I'm a man too, clearly. My DH will be a bit confused about this, will have to figure out the right moment to break it to him.

NothingOnTellyAgain · 04/02/2019 13:42

Oh lord acid

Used to love a bit of acid Grin

NothingOnTellyAgain · 04/02/2019 13:41

I liek the way we are shifting ever further from everyday reality with all this Grin

It is MY FAULT and a BAD THING that some (many) young men feel (used to feel?) lucky when they pull a pretty girl.

AngryAttackKittens · 04/02/2019 13:41

Seriously I'm barely old enough to remember the 70s and even as a kid I was aware that the grownups were shagging like bunnies.

FlyingOink · 04/02/2019 13:40

I don't understand how you think that your attractiveness has anything to do with how grateful or appreciative men were of you.

I thought you were going to explain for me? This is not an explanation. Also it shows you haven't read my posts either

Is it because I'm not pretty enough?

I'm starting to think that the only thing that could explain this thread is lots and lots of acid. Speaking of ye olde days.

NothingOnTellyAgain · 04/02/2019 13:38

"Look, previous generations did not have as much sex as we think we are entitled to because there was no contraception. Even if they were married."

Agian with the equating sex with PIV.
There are lots of other ways to have sex.
I saw a documentray that suggested olden days people did just that Grin

AngryAttackKittens · 04/02/2019 13:37

"Women fawn too much over beautiful men" has always been my favorite misogynistic trope. It's the not very well concealed hint of "and that's not fair!" that makes it so delicious.

NothingOnTellyAgain · 04/02/2019 13:36

All fair points flyingoink

As much as my instinct was to rebut I am saying, all fair points.

ElonMask · 04/02/2019 13:36

Nothing you obviously think that being attractive has a bearing on the gratefulness otherwise you wouldn't have said it. I think we can safely assume everyone reading this has had partners who thought they were the bees knees. I don't understand how you think that your attractiveness has anything to do with how grateful or appreciative men were of you.

You are seriosuly asserting that men and boys don't go bonkers over beautiful women?

Because of the bay city rollers and peter andre or similar?

Well OK then.

If men aren;t that fussed why are there naked and semi naked women over everything?

As far as I can see, the vast majority of art, including painting literature music,revolves around men fawning over / lusting after / beign obsessed with / pining over beautiful women?

Beautiful women are said to have been the cause that entire empires have fallen, for gods sake! Because the men fell under tehir spell....

Reality helllooooo nonono

Y/N women are far more affected by male beauty than vice versa

FlyingOink · 04/02/2019 13:35

I've explained several times why associating attractiveness and how grateful your partners should be about you is not good, you just aren't listening.
Can you reiterate please, I've read the thread and I'm still not clear what you mean.

I know people who lived through the hippie 60s and the disco era, and there was a lot of sex happening. If anything AIDS made my generation more cautious than the previous one.

ElonMask · 04/02/2019 13:32

I'm a middle aged women myself flying it's not meant as an insult.

Look, previous generations did not have as much sex as we think we are entitled to because there was no contraception. Even if they were married. I would have thought this was obvious.

FlyingOink · 04/02/2019 13:32

Men can aften react quite aggressively towards good looking women, thinking they are "up themselves" and need "putting in their place" etc.
Yes and women can be scathing about "pretty boys" too. So men's toiletries have to be black and grey with "power ultra anti tiredness zoom" written on their moisturisers Grin
Obviously the aggressive men are more dangerous but everyone can be catty about attractive people.
Also, many attractive women can be very dismissive - this is absolutely learned behaviour after being approached constantly since they were school age - so those women can cut off an approach spiel fairly quickly. Men who wanted the chance to go through their full routine see this as bitchiness. They never ever consider that they might be the twentieth guy to annoy her that day and that she really wants to just walk down the street and be left alone.

NothingOnTellyAgain · 04/02/2019 13:31

Ah

"how grateful your partners should be about you"

I didn't say they should be

I said they were

From the way they behaved and some of the things they said
Others have said this was their experience too

I never had any expectation around that behaviour from them, at all.

Does that make better sense to you now?

AngryAttackKittens · 04/02/2019 13:28

I'm sorry, Oink, I'm so old that I can't hear you. Do you happen to have one of those old timey ear trumpet things handy? What is the anal that people keep talking about anyway, I thought they were talking about apples. Lovely wholesome fruit, apples.

NothingOnTellyAgain · 04/02/2019 13:28

Mine wasn;t either AAK and travelled all over the wrold

She didn't marry til age 30

Grandmothers, who can say.
For sure CSA existed then adn rape and so a blanket "oh they were all virgins" is a bit crass tbh
Women and girls have always faced the same issues and threats

ElonMask · 04/02/2019 13:28

I've explained several times why associating attractiveness and how grateful your partners should be about you is not good, you just aren't listening.

And no, I don't think incels have a point at all, I'm showing how the opinions they attribute to you are the same ones.

And yes women do tend to fawn over beautiful men more so that vice versa. Groupies etc, how many young boys scream and become giddy at the sight of a female celebrity ?

I don't understand your point about people who are attractive Nothing.
